The Devoid Hypothesis (v.0.3): A Humorous Take on the Universe's Unseen Shenanigans

The Devoid Hypothesis (v.0.3) offers a lighthearted yet profound exploration of the universe, playfully suggesting that what we see is merely the tip of a cosmic iceberg. This version, aimed "for the rest of us", reimagines fundamental physics as a "cosmic comedy" driven by energy's incessant self-interactions at scales far beyond our current perception.

Key Insights from the Devoid Hypothesis (v.0.3):

The Invisible Universe is Bustling: Much like a bustling city with hidden alleys, the cosmos is teeming with undetectable energy interactions and transient particles ("Planck relics") operating below our observational resolution. This "invisible universe" is constantly creating and annihilating matter and antimatter, like a cosmic prankster.


Reality is an Emergent Sitcom: Our perceived reality, including matter and the "pesky conservation laws", are just the visible choreography of an underlying "hidden ballet" of energy interactions. Charges and quantum properties add "drama" to this otherwise unseen play, giving rise to stable particles and elements.


Forces are Energy's Acrobatics: Fundamental forces are not rigid rules but "emergent properties" of energy's ceaseless "Olympic gymnastics." Charges arise from subtle asymmetries in these interactions, leading to the "clingy" strong force and the "laid-back" weak force. Even phenomena like superconductivity are "energy's cool tricks."


Spacetime as an Expanding Blanket: Forget a static stage; spacetime itself is an emergent phenomenon, constantly "knitted" and expanded by energy interactions. This explains time dilation and length contraction as the universe's way of "keeping the beat" at high velocities.


Gravity's Quiet Facade: Gravity, often seen as weak, is merely a "diluted fraction" of a primordial attractive force. Its apparent meekness stems from the continuous generation of space, which spreads its influence "thin" like pizza dough.


Dark Energy and Dark Matter are Undercover Agents: These cosmic mysteries aren't separate entities but rather manifestations of sub-Planckian energy interactions that invisibly fuel the universe's accelerating expansion ("dark energy") and exert gravitational influence without electromagnetic interaction ("dark matter").


The Big Bang's Encore: The universe's vastness and the uniform cosmic microwave background are remnants of "cosmic inflation", an exponential early expansion driven by unfettered energy interactions. The Big Bang is reimagined as an "ongoing, eternal fireworks display", with continuous energy interactions perpetuating creation and evolution.


Quantum "Telepathy": Quantum entanglement is explained as a "secret network" of diffuse particles generated during primordial interactions, allowing "telepathic" connections without violating the speed of light, which remains the "ultimate speed limit" for information propagation.


Conservation Laws are "Conservation-ish": The hypothesis playfully challenges strict conservation, suggesting existence arises from a "pre-existing abundance of energy", making fundamental conservation unnecessary. Infinities are seen as the universe's "endless puzzles" or "infinite mirrors" reflecting ongoing energy dynamics.


Beyond the Void to the Elute: This framework paves the way for understanding even more complex emergent phenomena like biology, consciousness, and spirituality via the "Elute", recognizing that the universe is a "masterpiece" of evolving complexity from simple energy interactions.

The Devoid Hypothesis encourages a "playful yet profound exploration" of existence, inviting us to embrace the "cosmic comedy" and find humor and wonder in the "endless puzzles" and "never-ending saga" of the universe.
