Devoid § 5

The Illusion of Conservation and the Emergent Nature of Reality

This section examines the limitations of conservation laws within physics and introduces a model of reality centered on the fundamental nature of energy and its self-interactions. Contrary to the ingrained human perception of conservation necessity, this model contends that existence arises from a pre-existing abundance of energy, thereby obviating the need for strict conservation at its most fundamental level.

The Scale Dependency of Physical Laws

Scientific laws, frequently perceived as universal and immutable, exhibit substantial dependence on the scale at which they are applied. The efficacy of these laws, particularly those governing gravity and electromagnetism, diminishes when extrapolated beyond immediate frames of reference. The hypothetical graviton, potentially representing energy's earliest manifestation, exemplifies this scale-dependent nature. If proven, its existence would likely be observed as a particle possessing energy levels currently unattainable by human technology, rendering it undetectable within existing scientific frameworks.

The Information Paradox and the Limits of Observation

Human proclivity towards conservation extends into the realm of information, resulting in the information paradox. Although resolvable, this paradox underscores the limitations inherent in applying macroscopic observations to the microscopic realm. Reality, as perceived, emerges from a complex cascade of interactions occurring at scales beyond immediate comprehension. Energy, perpetually interacting and becoming confined at multiple levels, generates new interactions and further confinement. This endless cycle fosters emergent properties and phenomena observable at the macroscopic level, including the illusion of information conservation.

The Primacy of Energy and the Emergence of Spacetime

At its most fundamental level, energy exists outside the constraints of space and time. This concept, though seemingly paradoxical, constitutes the model's foundation. This primordial energy, through continuous self-interaction, undergoes a process of confinement, giving rise to the very fabric of spacetime. This initial confinement, akin to energy splitting into entangled regions, marks the genesis of matter and antimatter.

Symmetry, Invisible Energy, and Invisible Matter

The ongoing interaction and confinement of energy lead to the emergence of increasingly complex structures. These structures, while demonstrating inherent symmetry stemming from their origin as entangled energy regions, interact with primordial energy, resulting in the continuous generation of space, time, and further energy confinement. This continuous expansion driven by fundamental energy interactions underpins the concept of "invisible energy," a more precise term for what is currently referred to as "dark energy."

Similarly, the ongoing confinement of energy produces a spectrum of energy states. Some of these states, undetectable by current technology due to their lack of electromagnetic interaction, exert gravitational influence, constituting what is perceived as "invisible matter"—a more accurate designation than "dark matter."

The Statistical Nature of Reality and the Search for a Unified Theory

The immense scale and complexity of energy interactions within the universe give rise to the statistical nature observed in physical phenomena. The sheer volume of interactions facilitates mathematical modeling and prediction, leading to the development of mathematical physics. The interconnectedness of all matter and energy, originating from the same primordial source, further suggests the potential for a unified theory encompassing all physical laws.

However, reliance on mathematical models without a complete understanding of the underlying mechanisms can yield multiple interpretations of the same phenomenon, impeding the development of a truly comprehensive theory.

Rethinking the Multiverse

The multiverse concept, often arising from interpretations of quantum mechanics and the universe's fine-tuning, can be misleading. The multiple outcomes inherent in quantum systems exist within the same universe, albeit at scales currently inaccessible to observations. Similarly, the universe's vastness, exceeding the observable horizon due to space expansion, should not be misconstrued as comprising separate universes.

The True Extent of the Universe

While estimates regarding the age and size of the observable universe are remarkably accurate, they should not be extrapolated to encompass the entirety of existence. The universe, propelled by boundless energy interactions beyond the observable horizon, likely extends far beyond these estimations, potentially approaching infinity.

Conclusion of Devoid § 5

A paradigm shift towards understanding energy as the fundamental building block of reality, existing outside space and time constraints, offers a more accurate and comprehensive framework for comprehending the universe. This model, challenging intuitive conservation laws, provides coherent explanations for spacetime emergence, dark matter and energy's nature, and the statistical nature of physical phenomena. Further exploration of this model may pave the way towards a unified theory encompassing the entirety of physical reality.
