AN ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVE…
(about the formation of the Universe)

In our Issue No 48, we explored the Mayan perspectives about time and calendars. Since then we’ve gone even further with our speculative explorations, to consider an alternative perspective about the formation of the Universe.

This will probably not sit well with either the Creationists or the Evolutionists among us, but we’re inclined to think such an alternative perspective about it may be on the right track. Of course, we could be wrong about our premise for it, but we’re laying it out here anyway.

And that alternative perspective is this: What we call the Universe is just a vast debris field, resulting from an explosive “fission” event (a Big Bang) from which energy and matter was sent flying off in all directions as cosmic particles. Particles which subsequently coalesced here and there in to vast numbers of nebulae from each of which then formed what we call stars(suns), planets, etc., all the while the entirety of all of that still expanding and streaking away at high velocity from the source of that explosive event.

At some point, however, the velocity of that outward expansion will begin to slow…ultimately to then begin to reverse itself (much the way a bungee cord does), slowly accelerating back into what we call a Black Hole which, much like a whirlpool, will progressively suck in all these particles of energy and matter within its proximity. A process now of progressive “fusion” of all that energy and matter, to become denser and denser until, having reached critical mass, it will once more “fission”, thus starting the cycle all over again.

In short, our so-called Universe may not be the product of a single explosive “Big Bang” event, but rather, part of a cyclic continuum of fusion-fission events. The remaining unknown here of course is how such a cyclic continuum originated in the first place. We don’t know. Nor do we know how long it has been going on, or, how long it will keep on…keeping on.

What makes answering such questions even more difficult is the fact that there are multiple Black Holes in this cosmic matrix. Which further suggests that it may just be a matter of “seniority”. That is, each Black Hole is either younger or older than any other one, and thus at a different stage of either fusion or fission…and that’s what determines the schedule of such explosive events in this cyclic continuum. The existence of our world therefor is derived from the fission of one of those Black Holes perhaps some 8 Billion years ago…to last until another one does the same…and replaces it.

Well, this is all wild speculation on our part, but we think it may have some basis to be considered as a strong…possibility.
