Iāve been thinking lately about how we still arenāt sure where all the matter came from. It canāt be created or destroyed, only transformed, which in the case of science fiction means we can assume we find a way to transmute matter to different materials, likely permanently unless itās an unstable process, butā¦
Canāt the creation of matter occur like the creation of a tree? You have an acorn. That acorn will eventually turn into a towering oak, much larger and expansive than the measly little acorn, and we donāt normally think of the process. Like, the tree grows because it absorbs nutrients from soil, water, and sunlight. All on its own. And yeah thereās probably a scientific reason as to why it grows so large with such a small starting amount, but canāt the creation of matter be similar? Isnāt there a possibility that all of matter was created as a new step in the life cycle of something else? If even space is matter, and the absence of space is considered a black hole with similar attributes to a star such as the sun, isnāt it also possibly that all our matter didnāt completely start with the Big Bang? And the Big Bang was just another step in the process? Iām not a scientist, and Iād assume that finding anything concrete after an explosion in space so long ago would be extremely difficult if not impossible, but Iām not one to look at a bomb and decide āyes. This is where life began.ā
Again, Iām not a scientist, but I would like to hear others ideas on this
