I’ve been thinking lately about how we still aren’t sure where all the matter came from. It can’t be created or destroyed, only transformed, which in the case of science fiction means we can assume we find a way to transmute matter to different materials, likely permanently unless it’s an unstable process, but…
Can’t the creation of matter occur like the creation of a tree? You have an acorn. That acorn will eventually turn into a towering oak, much larger and expansive than the measly little acorn, and we don’t normally think of the process. Like, the tree grows because it absorbs nutrients from soil, water, and sunlight. All on its own. And yeah there’s probably a scientific reason as to why it grows so large with such a small starting amount, but can’t the creation of matter be similar? Isn’t there a possibility that all of matter was created as a new step in the life cycle of something else? If even space is matter, and the absence of space is considered a black hole with similar attributes to a star such as the sun, isn’t it also possibly that all our matter didn’t completely start with the Big Bang? And the Big Bang was just another step in the process? I’m not a scientist, and I’d assume that finding anything concrete after an explosion in space so long ago would be extremely difficult if not impossible, but I’m not one to look at a bomb and decide ‘yes. This is where life began.’
Again, I’m not a scientist, but I would like to hear others ideas on this
