10. Imagining the Nothing: Extension of the 200BC Myth

Imagination is imagination. We can be logical and consistent in imagination but that may not be entire scientific because no scientific methods may be available to test imagination of Nothing.
By definition Nothing cannot be described given the accepted specifications that Nothing must satisfy. We can only have an imaginary, probably alternative hazy ideas. We try imagining one now and here as a start.

Let us consider any two points in the Universe and pass an imaginary line through them and extend the line beyond the two points on either side for infinitely strong stretches. This line need not a straight line: it can be curved in any manner through random choice or on any ad hoc basis (though for simplicity and without loss of generality, one can think in terms of straight lines).
Now let us imagine passing such lines through all possible pairs of points in the universe. The entire Universe will now be covered by infinite number of such lines. You may call these lines or strings. And, Nothing is nothing but the entangled mess of imaginary lines or strings of infinite length.


One can easily see that this Imaginary Nothing satisfies already FIVE out of the eight desirable criteria.
One, Nothing is perpetually ceaseless, permanent, indestructible and inexhaustible even after the Universe comes out of Nothing.
Two, Nothing is uncharged, unchanging, unaffected and unperturbed by the Universe.
Three, Nothing must never have been born or dead.
Four,  Nothing is incomprehensible, unexplainable, inexpressible, unalterable and original.
Five, Nothing is as infinite as a Source capable of explaining the infinite nature of the Universe.
Sixth, Nothing is formless in the sense of the Universe, i.e, it does not have any physical form that matter, energy or space or time can take.
The above SIX criteria are satisfied by simple construction of imaginary lines.

To see whether the other two criteria are met, we need to imagine some thing more about these imaginary lines.

Before we do this, we need to refer to the elementary particles called Neutrinos. Neutrinos are virtually mass less no-electrical charge particles that can and do pass through any type of bigger particles without being affected themselves and without affecting those through which they pass through( see http://universeofignorance.blogspot.com/2011/01/7-eluding-elementary-particles.html). It is now known that beams of neutrinos pass through our physical bodies all the time.

Let us now imagine that our imaginary lines or strings pass through all space, all matter and all energy all the time: by construction these imaginary lines remain unaffected by the mass , energy and space in the Universe all the time. Thus. by construction, our Nothing is all pervading: it always exists in each and every thing, biggest of physical bodies or smallest of particles, space  and energy in the Universe.

The question is how did this Nothing lead to the emergence of  energy, matter, space and time. If we can get energy from this Nothing, energy in turn will produce all other elements as per the Big Bang theory.
But how do we get Energy from Nothing? For this, we need to expand our imagination of lines passing through every thing just little. We imagine these imaginary lines to be in continual motion at infinite speed. By this extension of imagination, we ensure that the Nothing remains unaltered all the time: since the lines move in infinite speed, it remains all the time static-unchanged and unaltered. Most important, this infinite speed continual motion generates energy: here E=mc^2 doe not apply. There is no mass as yet, but speed is infinitely higher than the speed of light.

We have now generated energy from Nothing (the continually moving imaginary lines at  infinite speed).  This energy is initially stuck with the lines in an uniform manner buts gets clustered in some stochastic (probabilistic) way in around some point in one of the imaginary lines. Over  a periuod of trillions of human years the concentration of this energy is so dense at certain point(s) that we get that infinitely dense energy concentrate with which the Big Bang started.

We now have the entire Universe produced from Nothing. The Nothing now satisfies the other two criteria.  Nothing is apparently powerful enough to contain at least energy, matter, time and space in implicit form in itself.
And, Nothing is now capable of making its impact felt in any part or the whole of the Nothing must make its presence felt in each and everything in the Universe: Nothing must be felt to be present everywhere and in everything.

To get back to the Cosmic Myth @ 200 BC, the Universe had Nothing at some point of time. This Nothing existed ceaselessly all the Time and permanently. Because of its internal infinite speed motion, Nothing generates energy. That energy gets concentrated at an infinitesimal part of one of the imaginary lines to create the infinitely dense energy concentrate (Hiranyagarbha) that, owing to the continued impact of the spin generated by the infinite speed motion of the imaginary lines of Nothing, starts a process of inflation reducing energy density, creating space, elementary particles and so on. The Big Bang inflationary expansion takes place in the domain of the Nothing only. Thus, that Nothing still remains permanently and ceaselessly unaltered, unaffected and  Infinite containing the entire universe - space, energy, matter and time and remaining within each and everything in the universe in an indivisible formless existence.
