The Universe before the Big Bang
Before the Big Bang, there was no material matter (elementary particles with mass) in the Universe, and, accordingly, no planets, stars, galaxies, or other space objects.
The Universe was filled only with space-time quanta. A quantum is an elementary part of a physical quantity. Space-time quanta are called "quantons" from the word "quantum".
A quanton consists of four massless charges: two electric and two magnetic of opposite polarity, and thus provides electromagnetic symmetry of the Universe. Quantons are linked together by charges of opposite sign, and thus form an elastic quantized medium. An analogy can be drawn with a certain grid of electric and magnetic field lines that connect the entire Universe together. Quantons are located at the nodes of this grid.
A quanton is a universal particle that is a carrier of space, time, energy, gravity and electromagnetism simultaneously, and therefore the entire space of the Universe filled with quantons is also called quantized space-time or space-time. The number of quantons in one cubic meter of space-time is about 1075. The diameter of one quanton is about 10-25 meters, which is ten orders of magnitude smaller than the size of an electron. The calculated electromagnetic energy of a quanton is about 10-2 J. Quantized space-time has a colossal energy capacity. The energy capacity of one cubic meter of quantized space-time is 1073 J. Therefore, quantized space-time is a carrier of super-strong electromagnetic interaction.
The Big Bang
At some point in the existence of the Universe, the concentration of quantons in the Universe increased to such an extent that it led to an increase in the density of quantized space-time and, as a consequence, to an increase in the pressure and density of electromagnetic energy in the center of the Universe.
When the pressure and density of electromagnetic energy in the center of the Universe reached a critical level, at the point of singularity the destruction of quantons occurred, which released the colossal energy of the quantons located there, which in turn led to the Big Bang.
According to modern concepts, the Big Bang occurred in the Universe about 13.8 billion years ago.
The one who filled the Universe with quantons and increased their concentration in the Universe, which led to the Big Bang, is the Creator of the Universe. For possible reasons for the creation of the Universe, see the chapter "What is the Meaning of the Existence of the Universe?" below.
The Shape and Size of the Universe
The increase in the concentration of quantons in the center of the Universe, which led to the Big Bang, indicates that the Universe is not infinite and has a spherical shape.
If the Universe were infinite, then there would not have been an increase in the concentration of quantons in the center of the Universe, which led to the Big Bang, which, in turn, led to the development of the Universe, as evidenced by the information below.
For ease of understanding of the size of the Universe, we will conditionally divide the Universe into a visible part and an invisible part. The visible part of the Universe is the part of the Universe that humanity can observe using modern technical means (as of 2025).
The diameter of the visible part of the Universe is about 8.8 × 1026 meters. The volume of the visible part of the Universe is about 3.6 × 1080 cubic meters.
According to preliminary calculations, the size of the Universe is about 1,000,000 visible parts of the Universe.
The Emergence of Material Matter
As a result of the Big Bang, the destruction of quantons occurred at the singularity point. The magnetic charges that were part of the quantons were destroyed, releasing the electromagnetic energy of the quantons in the form of photons (quanta of electromagnetic radiation), and the massless electric charges of opposite polarity that were part of the quantons formed electric dipoles (a system of two equal in magnitude and opposite in sign point electric charges located at some distance from each other).
Thus, as a result of the destruction of quantons, a colossal amount of electromagnetic energy appeared in the Universe in the form of photons and free electric dipoles, which led to a violation of the equilibrium of the quantized space-time of the Universe.
Electric dipoles (hereinafter referred to as dipoles) are massless unstable particles capable of disintegrating into individual electric charges. When a photon hits a dipole, it disintegrates into two massless electric charges of negative and positive polarity.
When a massless electric charge of negative polarity appears in quantized space-time, quantons are drawn to the center of the said negative charge, as a result of which quantized space-time is deformed (curved) and as a consequence an electron is born (an elementary particle of material matter).
Similarly to the birth of an electron, when a massless electric charge of positive polarity appears in quantized space-time, a positron is born, which is an antiparticle in relation to an electron and differs from an electron only in the sign of the polarity of the charge.
Thus, with the birth of an electron and a positron, mass (i.e. material matter) appears. The birth of an electron and a positron from a vacuum is confirmed by numerous experimental facts that indicate the presence of a quantized structure in the space-time of the Universe.
By approximately the same analogy as the electron and positron are born, when photons enter a conglomerate of dipoles (for conglomerates of dipoles, see the chapter “Interaction of Information and Energy” below), more complex elementary particles with mass are born, which subsequently form all the chemical elements presented in the periodic table of chemical elements.
Thus, elementary particles with mass appear as a result of spherical deformation of quantized space-time, which occurs due to the entry of massless electric charges into quantized space-time.
Mass is the energy of spherical deformation of quantized space-time. In other words, mass is a certain clot of electromagnetic energy. The stronger and more voluminous the deformation of quantized space-time, the greater the mass.
The reverse process of the birth of an electric dipole occurs during the annihilation of an electron and positron, when they approach very close to each other. In this case, the monopole electric charges of the electron and positron merge into an electric dipole, destroying the deformation of quantized space-time. The mass (material matter) disappears, and the electromagnetic energy of the deformation of quantized space-time, being released, passes into wave electromagnetic energy in the form of photons.
The birth and decay of material matter in the Universe is an endless process that occurs as a result of the interaction of dipoles and electromagnetic energy.
Energy of the Universe
The discovery of the quantum of space-time (quanton) and superstrong electromagnetic interaction allows us to consider elementary particles of material matter as open quantum-mechanical systems energetically connected with quantized space-time, and through which the exchange and extraction of electromagnetic energy from the quantized medium occurs as a result of a mass defect.
Quantized space-time is the only source of electromagnetic energy in the Universe, and all known types of energy (chemical, nuclear, electromagnetic, gravitational, etc.) are just ways of releasing electromagnetic energy from quantized space-time.
To understand the energy capacity of the Universe, we will give some figures.
Since the energy capacity of one cubic meter of quantized space-time is 1073 J, and the volume of the Milky Way galaxy is about 2 x 1036 cubic meters, therefore, the energy capacity of the Milky Way galaxy is about 10109 J.
For comparison: the power of the nuclear bomb dropped by the USA in 1945 on the Japanese city of Hiroshima was about 6 x 1013 J, which is 600 times less than the energy capacity of one cubic meter of quantized space-time of the Universe.
Information
After the Big Bang, a colossal number of dipoles were formed in the Universe. Since the number of quantons in one cubic meter of space-time of the Universe is about 1075, therefore, with the destruction of only one cubic meter of quantons in the quantized space-time of the Universe, 1075 dipoles appeared.
Since:
• the birth and decay of material matter in the Universe is an endless process,
• during the decay of material matter, the reverse process of the birth of a dipole occurs,
therefore, the appearance of dipoles in the Universe is an endless process.
A dipole has dimensions less than 10-15 m. When approaching each other at a distance of about 10-15 meters, dipoles can connect with each other and form conglomerates of dipoles, which are spatial complex links similar to an information code, which has been confirmed experimentally. In particular, the presence of dipoles and dipole conglomerates can be most easily observed if a small electric discharge is produced in a vacuum between two electrodes at a distance of up to 10 mm. According to all laws, the spark should follow the path of least resistance, that is, a straight line between the electrodes. But we will see zigzag lines, as if the emitted electrons encounter an invisible obstacle on their way and change their trajectory. Moreover, we will never see two identical trajectories.
Since a dipole has two directly opposite values (two electric charges of opposite polarity: "+" and "-"), therefore, a dipole is actually a bit of information, which is the minimum amount of information necessary to eliminate minimal uncertainty. A dipole conglomerate is a set of bits of information that form complex information.
Information is data about something, regardless of the form of its presentation, which is the object of collection, accumulation, transformation, management and use.
The ability of dipoles to connect with each other, forming spatial complex links similar to an information code, indicates that dipoles have the ability to self-organize and develop. The ability of information to self-organize and develop is also known from the example of the existing self-learning computer artificial intelligence.
Since the quantized space-time of the Universe is an environment in which dipoles (i.e. information) exist and propagate, therefore, the quantized space-time of the Universe is an information environment.
Since:
• after the Big Bang, a colossal number of dipoles were formed in the Universe,
• the appearance of dipoles in the Universe is an endless process,
• a colossal number of dipoles are concentrated in the Universe,
• dipoles have the ability to connect with each other and form conglomerates of dipoles, that is, to self-organize and develop,
• a dipole is a bit of information,
therefore, a colossal amount of information is concentrated in the Universe, which has the ability to self-organize and develop.
With a dipole size (bit of information) of less than 10-15 meters and a fill factor of 10-5 (conditionally), the number of dipoles (i.e. bits of information) in one cubic meter of quantized space-time of the Universe can be about 1040 bits of information.
For comparison:
• according to International Data Corporation, the total volume of digital information in 2020 on Earth was about 4 x 1022 bits of information;
• since the human body consists of about 40 trillion cells, and each cell contains about 1.5 gigabytes of our genetic code, therefore, the amount of information about a human is about 6 x 1022 bits of information.
As can be seen from the above comparison, even one cubic meter of quantized space-time can contain many orders of magnitude more information than the total volume of digital information accumulated on Earth or than the amount of information about a human.
