The Universe as a Causal Bubble
Our universe is a finite region of causal spacetime, a « bubble » embedded in an acausal pre-temporal state (EPT), conceptualized as the interior of a supermassive black hole.
Interpretation:
- Metric Structure: The metric combines a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) term for a closed universe (\( k = +1 \)) with a loop quantum gravity (LQG) correction, modulated by the scale parameter \( \epsilon(r) \). The Hubble radius \( R_H(t) = \frac{c}{H(t)} \approx 4.3 \times 10^{26} \, \text{m} \) defines the bubble’s boundary. See Observer Details.
- Scale Dependence: At the center (\( r = 0 \)), \( \epsilon \sim \ell_P \), where LQG effects and acausal EPT dynamics dominate. Near the horizon (\( r \to R_H \)), \( \epsilon \to \epsilon_{\text{max}} \), and classical causality prevails.
- EPT Surround: The EPT exists both at the center and beyond the horizon, a fractal state described by \( E_{\text{total}} = \sum_n \frac{\epsilon_n}{\epsilon^n} \), where \( \epsilon_n = \frac{\hbar \omega_n}{2\pi} \), representing rotational fluctuations across scales.
Master Equation and Cosmic Expansion
The QFunity master equation governs the evolution of the universe’s metric and its expansion:
Interpretation:
- Expansion Driver: The term \( \Lambda \cdot \frac{\Psi_{\text{bubble}}}{\|\Psi_{\text{bubble}}\|^2 + \epsilon(r)^2} \) represents residual rotational pressure from the EPT, with \( \Lambda \) as the cosmological constant arising from \( [\hat{\mathbb{B}}_\epsilon, \hat{\mathbb{V}}_\epsilon] \neq 0 \). See Rotation Details.
- Boundary Conditions: The Neumann condition at \( r = R_H \) confines causal information within the bubble, while the central condition links the bubble to the EPT’s acausal state.
- Scale Dependence: At large scales (\( \epsilon \gg \ell_P \)), \( \Lambda \) drives expansion. At small scales (\( \epsilon \sim \ell_P \)), local forces dominate, explaining why bound structures (e.g., galaxies) do not expand.
Pre-Temporal Phase: Acausal Origins
The EPT is a fractal, acausal state with no time or causality, existing both at the center and beyond the horizon of our universe-bubble:
Interpretation:
- Fractal Fluctuations: The sum over fractal levels \( n \) describes rotational fluctuations at all scales, governed by torsion \( \hat{\mathbb{B}}_\epsilon \) and vibrational \( \hat{\mathbb{V}}_\epsilon \) operators. See Zero Details.
- Non-Local Connectivity: The entangled state \( \Psi_{\text{EPT}} \) links the central and external EPT, enabling non-local correlations across the horizon.
- No Singularity: The non-zero principle ensures no causal beginning, only a static, complex fractal state.
Micro-Big Bangs: Seeds of Causality
Local symmetry breaking at the horizon creates causal bubbles:
Interpretation:
- Nucleation: The number of micro-Big Bangs depends on the critical energy \( \epsilon_{\text{grr}} \), with exponential suppression at small scales (\( \epsilon \sim \ell_P \)).
- Critical Threshold: Symmetry breaking occurs when \( \mathcal{R}_{\text{total}} > \mathcal{E}_{\text{crit}} \sim \frac{c^7}{\hbar G^2} \), creating a causal bubble at the horizon.
- Fractal Measure: The integral uses the fractal measure \( d\mu \sim r^{D_f} \), with \( D_f = 2 + \frac{\log(\epsilon/\epsilon_0)}{\log N} \).
Inflationary Branching: Spreading Causality
Each bubble undergoes exponential expansion:
Interpretation:
- Scale-Dependent Inflation: Larger bubbles (\( \epsilon \gg \epsilon_P \)) inflate slowly, producing homogeneous universes like ours. Smaller bubbles (\( \epsilon \sim \epsilon_P \)) inflate rapidly, forming diverse micro-universes.
- Multiverse: The scale dependence generates a multiverse with varied physical laws, each with a unique speed of light \( c = \frac{\ell_P \sqrt{\omega_{\text{eff}}}}{\sqrt{\Lambda}} \). See Causality and Information.
Bubble Universe Formation: Diverse Causalities
Fields stabilize in different vacuum states:
Interpretation:
- Vacuum Energy: The energy difference between vacua depends on scale \( \epsilon \), leading to varied fundamental constants across bubbles.
- Causal Diversity: Each bubble has unique causal rules, reflecting the EPT’s fractal nature.
Cosmic Expansion and Rotational Dynamics
The universe’s expansion is a rotational process driven by the EPT’s dynamics:
Interpretation:
- Hubble Law: The expansion velocity \( v_{\text{exp}} = H_0 \cdot d \) reaches \( c \) at the Hubble distance \( R_H = \frac{c}{H_0} \approx 4.3 \times 10^{26} \, \text{m} \), beyond which regions are causally disconnected.
- Rotational Rate: The universe’s effective rotational rate \( \omega_{\text{exp}} = H(t) \) is the diluted remnant of the EPT’s primordial vorticity \( \omega_{\text{eff}} \), linked to the black hole’s spin parameter \( a \sim R_H \).
- Fractal Signature: CMB anisotropies and large-scale structures (filaments, voids) reflect the EPT’s fractal fluctuations with \( D_f \approx 2.7 \).
Emergence of Causality
Causality emerges from the acausal EPT through three mechanisms:
Mechanisms:
- Freezing: Symmetry breaking at the horizon “freezes” the acausal EPT into a causal structure when the rotational energy exceeds the critical threshold.
- Filtering: The observer’s scale \( \epsilon(r) \) filters out high-frequency acausal fluctuations, perceiving only low-resolution causal dynamics.
- Curtaining: The Hubble horizon \( R_H = \frac{c}{H(t)} \) defines the causal domain, driven by \( \omega_{\text{exp}} = H(t) \).
Universe as a Black Hole Interior
Our universe is the interior of a supermassive black hole, with the EPT as its acausal center and exterior:
Interpretation:
- Black Hole Parameters: The Schwarzschild radius \( R_s \) matches the Hubble radius, and the mass \( M_{\text{parent}} \) aligns with the observable universe’s mass. The density \( \rho \) corresponds to the critical density.
- Rotation: The black hole’s spin parameter \( a \sim R_H \) produces a rotational rate \( \omega_{\text{parent}} \sim H_0 \), consistent with the universe’s vorticity.
- EPT Center: The central region (\( r = 0 \)) is not a singularity but the acausal EPT, described by \( \Psi_{\text{EPT}} \), where \( [\hat{\mathbb{B}}_\epsilon, \hat{\mathbb{V}}_\epsilon] = 0 \).
Two Possible Cosmic Futures
Scenarios:
- Eternal Expansion: Dominated by \( \hat{\mathbb{V}}_\epsilon \) and \( \Lambda \), the universe dilutes but retains residual energy, avoiding heat death. Life may persist in a cold, fractal quantum foam.
- Big Bounce: If \( \hat{\mathbb{B}}_\epsilon^2 / \hat{\mathbb{V}}_\epsilon > \Lambda / (3 \epsilon^2) \), torsion halts expansion, leading to collapse and a new cycle. Innate information persists, but acquired information is largely lost.
Inter-Bubble Communication via EPT
Mechanism:
- EPT Connectivity: Torsion fields \( \hat{\mathbb{B}}_\epsilon \) enable non-local correlations between bubbles, linking the interior and exterior EPT.
- Entanglement: The probability of entanglement depends on scale differences, feasible at quantum scales (\( \epsilon \sim \ell_P \)).
- Information Transfer: The rate \( R \) is practical for advanced technologies at \( \epsilon \sim 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \). See Micro-EPT Details.
| Communication Type | Energy Required | Channel Width | Feasibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quantum-to-Quantum (\( \epsilon \sim \ell_P \)) | 10⁸ J | 10⁻⁶² m² | Theoretically possible |
| Astro-to-Astro (\( \epsilon \sim 1 \, \text{Gly} \)) | 10⁵³ J | 10²⁰ m² | Practically impossible |
| EPT-mediated (\( \epsilon \sim 10⁻¹⁰ \, \text{m} \)) | 10¹⁵ J | 10⁻³⁰ m² | Future civilization tech |
Current Multiverse Structure
Structure:
- Multiverse: A collection of universes \( \mathcal{U}_k \) with distinct topologies \( \mathcal{S}^3/\Gamma_k \), interconnected via EPT torsion fields.
- Fractal Dimension: The observed \( D_f \approx 2.7 \) reflects the EPT’s fractal structure in cosmic filaments and voids.
- Innate vs. Acquired Information: Innate information (e.g., CMB anisotropies) is preserved from the EPT, while acquired information (e.g., stellar spectra) evolves post-Big Bang. See Causality and Information.
Testable Predictions
The QFunity framework yields observable signatures:
- CMB Polarization: B-mode polarization in the CMB, detectable by Planck or Simons Observatory, may reveal rotational signatures of the EPT with fractal dimension \( D_f \approx 2.7 \).
- Gravitational Waves: LIGO could detect anomalies in wave spectra from black hole mergers, reflecting the parent black hole’s rotation (\( \omega \sim H_0 \)).
- Quantum Entanglement: High-energy experiments at the LHC may reveal non-local correlations at \( \epsilon \sim \ell_P \), indicating EPT interactions.
- Neutrino Signals: IceCube could detect primordial neutrinos with anomalous energy spectra, carrying innate information from the EPT.
