The Binary Planck Wave/Object/Gravity Theory of the Origin and Structure of the Universe


by John Akwei, ECMp ERMp Data Scientist


Preamble


The following proposes a theory of new physics related to the origin of the Universe, Planck constants, gravity, a quantum information field derived from information theory, and the digital vs analog structure of the Universe.


The first picosecond of the Universe is one of the most mysterious and fascinating periods in all of cosmology. The first picosecond of the universe is not understood at this time. However, it is a period of time that is essential to understanding the origin and evolution of the universe. It was during this brief window of time that the universe went from being a hot, dense singularity to the vast, colder, and expanding cosmos we see today.


During the first picosecond, the universe was so hot and dense that the four fundamental forces of nature were unified. Gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force, and the weak force were all one and the same force. As the universe expanded and cooled, these forces began to separate, giving rise to the universe we know today.


One of the most important events that took place during the first picosecond was cosmic inflation, a period of incredibly rapid expansion that took place in the first few moments after the Big Bang. During this time, the universe expanded by a factor of at least 10^52.


Cosmic inflation is thought to be responsible for the uniformity of the universe, and the tiny ripples in the cosmic microwave background radiation. In an instant virtually too brief to comprehend, the first picosecond of cosmic existence saw the birth of spacetime itself as an unimaginably dense, hot entity burst into being. The fundamental forces of nature split off from each other as the universe rapidly expanded and cooled. Quarks condensed into protons and neutrons, forming the first atomic nuclei. Matter gently separated from antimatter as symmetries broke.


Space billowed outward at the speed of light, the horizon of the observable universe growing with each fraction of a second. Primordial quantum fluctuations became the seeds of galactic superclusters. The newborn cosmos was still too hot for electrons to bind to nuclei, or even for electrons to emerge from neutrons, or for quarks and gluons to form neutrons, or for gluons to emerge from quarks, or even too hot for quarks to form.


That infintesimely tiny instant set in motion eons of cosmic evolution. It planted the first seeds from which stars, planets, and life would eventually emerge. We can only extrapolate to after the first picosecond of the universe, and deduce what came before. The first picosecond remains physics' greatest mystery, when the laws of nature themselves were forged by the first primordial force. The rest is the history of the universe.


Section 1 - Planck Constants


The Planck constant, symbolized by h, is the smallest possible unit of action in quantum mechanics. It is a fundamental constant of nature, and it is thought to be the smallest possible unit of information. Action is a physical quantity that is the product of energy and time. It is a fundamental constant of nature, meaning that it is not dependent on any other physical quantities. The value of the Planck constant is h=6.62607015×10^−34 joule-seconds. The Planck constant is important in quantum mechanics because it sets the scale at which quantum effects become important. For example, the energy of a photon is quantized, meaning that it can only have certain values that are multiples of h. This is why light can only be emitted or absorbed in discrete packets, called quanta. Binary Planck Wave/Object/Gravity Theory proposes that the universe originated as a field of Planck constants.


The primordial, origin field of the universe is proposed to consist of a field of Planck length wave/object duality, exhibiting both wave-like and particle-like properties. The individual Planck constants within the Planck constant field contain a gravitational field that prevents any information from escaping. The gravitational field of an object is proportional to its mass. Therefore, the gravitational field of an object that existed inside a Planck constant would be incredibly strong, and bend spacetime so much that even light would be unable to escape.


Consequently, the base 1 field of Planck constants is proposed to constitute a base 1 field of zero information. Base 1 consists of no variability and therefore no information, via the form of an infinite unitary series of one number only, a single repeating digit, for example 0000... or 1111... Because only one pattern can exist in base 1, no information with enough complexity or variety, to be considered information exists. Base 1 can encode no meaningful information or complexity, only uniformity. This all-pervasive base 1 field simultaneously occupies all spacetime, yet remains inherently undetectable. A base 1 field of Planck constants simultaneously exists everywhere and is unfindable anywhere. If a Planck constant were placed in a box, it would be as probable to find the Planck constant outside the box as inside the box.


A base 1 field of Planck constants can never have any dimensions. Dimensions can only emerge out of a base 1 field. Lacking any dimensions itself, the base 1 Planck constant field gives rise to the emergence of dimensions like space and time. The dimension of time emerging from a Planck constant is provable via relativity. In particular, time is proposed to arise from relativistic effects inherent to this theory's concept of Planck constants.


According to Binary Planck Wave/Object/Gravity Theory, a base 1 field can only emerge from a Planck constant. The original Planck constant or the resulting base 1 Planck constant field are unfindable, unobservable and inaccessible. A base 1 field enforces a maximum universal speed limit of c, (or the speed of light), via internal gravitational forces within individual Planck constants.


Section 2 - Gravity


The Binary Planck Wave/Object/Gravity Theory states that when the Planck constants of the proposed Planck constant field begin interacting gravitationally, the base 2 field of information emerges from the base 1 uniformity. The beginning of the base 2 information field is the gravitational field interactions of the base 1 field of Planck constants.


The gravitational field interactions of Planck constants are thought to be the source of all other fields in the universe. These interactions create symmetry breaking, which is the process by which a system with multiple possible states spontaneously chooses one state.


Gravitational field interactions of Planck constants are hypothesized to create all other physical fields via symmetry breaking. Symmetry breaking of the base 2 digital information field creates cellular automata structures that appear as the analog structures of the universe. This is concurrent with the number system base 2, with its binary digits 0 and 1 existing as the first number system that can create any information, and constitutes the simplest information system capable of encoding meaningful variability. Therefore, the primary field of Planck constants are the zero field, (or zero point field), and resulting secondary field of Planck constant-external gravitational force is the one field. When the zero field and the one field interact, the binary base 2 digital information field is created.


A cellular automaton is a discrete model of computation studied in automata theory. A cellular automaton consists of a grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states, such as on and off. The grid can be in any finite number of dimensions. For each cell, a set of cells called its neighborhood is defined relative to the specified cell. An initial state (time t = 0) is selected by assigning a state for each cell. A new generation is created (advancing t by 1), according to some fixed rule, generally, a mathematical function, that determines the new state of each cell in terms of the current state of the cell and the states of the cells in its neighborhood.


Digital vs Analog


Digital information can simulate all analog structures. Analog can never accurately simulate digital by definition of analog. Therefore, the ultimate structure of the universe is digital. The theory proposes that the Planck constants compose the zero field, while gravity constitutes the one field. The interaction between these two primordial fields results in the base 2 digital field that underlies physical existence.


Digital information is information that is represented in discrete form. This means that it is represented by a series of zeros and ones. Analog information is information that is represented in continuous form with an ever increasing series of usually base 10 numbers. This means that it can be represented by an infinite number of values.


The theory proposes that the ultimate structure of the universe is digital. The theory states that digital information is capable in principle of simulating any analog forms, systems, or structures. However, by its definitional limitations, analog information cannot reproduce, emulate, or simulate digital information with complete accuracy. Therefore, the theory concludes that at the most essential level, the universe must have a digital informational structure, rather than an analog one.


Conclusion


Binary Planck Object/Wave/Gravity Theory concludes that at the most essential level, the universe has a digital informational structure, rather than an analog one. This digitally-encoded information field underlies and gives rise to the seemingly and illusionary analog structures observed in the universe. Binary Planck Object/Wave/Gravity Theory is a new and radical proposal for the origin of the universe. It challenges our current understanding of physics and information, and it offers a new way of thinking about the digital vs analog structure of the universe. In summary, the Binary Planck Wave/Object/Gravity Theory proposes that the origin and fundamental structure of the universe emerge from digital information encoded from Planck scale wave/particle duality and gravitational interactions.
