Psychologists tell us the logical mind has a strong bias towards thinking in terms of cause and effect. Neuroscientists suggest reality itself is merely a construct of one's own brain. Physicists can't seem to focus on a solution because they have too many ions in the fire. So where do we turn for a definitive semi-constant?
The National Buffoon of course.
Humans seem to have a need to search for a cause for the first effect, the formation of the Universe.
We tend to frame this in terms of a spherical chicken-or-egg conundrum, a flawed a priori hypothesis. Since no success has been achieved using reason, the time has come for illogical acausal explanations.
Logical thinkers have a bias to associate “logical” with “true”, and
“illogical” with “false”.
Yet clearly Gödel’s incompleteness theorem tells us that there are true propositions which can not be proven within any given logically consistent system. These propositions are logically discontinuous, or not to put too fine a point on it, illogical but true.

Consider the universe forming into
a flat, featureless, dimensionless, and timeless void. This is the so-called
Big Bang which pops Mass, Energy, Space and Time (MEST) into existence. In the
absence of MEST there is a corresponding absence of physical law. In the
absence of physical law there is nothing to preclude something from happening
for no reason. Once a MEST is made, it's difficult to clean up...and it imposes the physical laws which govern what can happen next.
According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the product of the conjugate
attributes of a particle’s momentum and position, and, more interestingly, a
virtual particle’s energy and the time duration of its existence, can be no
greater than Planck’s constant, h bar (the bar is short for
the big bang..BARROOM! or Bar Room as we will refer to it in this article). The accountancy of energy conservation allows for inaccurate
balances. Nature (as well as Wall Street Banking concerns) take these liberties right up to the theoretical limit.
So it seems that if a particle with the
mass-energy content of the Universe pops into being and hangs around for as
long as it has suggests that the value of h would have to be many,
many, many times larger than its current value to be proportional
to the initial void it had to expand into. This particle with infinite energy
popping into existence and expanding at an infinite rate for an infinitesimal
amount of time yields a value of h which is in sore need of
renormalization.
Infinities are pesky. These particular annoying infinities need to be managed mathematically.

As
the threads of space spread out into the void of nothingness, nature’s freedom to create
was confined to the interstices. Creative freedom is only indirectly a function
of the fabric of space. It is more directly related to the space between the
threads, the bubbles in the froth of the residue of the Big Bar-Room. Thus as the voids shrank to the current
Planck scale, so did the value of h. This mechanism prevents one
universe from mounting the next. It is something akin to what the Urban Dictionary might call a cosmic Johnson Jamming Signal, Beefstick Barricade, Occlusion Occluder or Heavy Hindrance of Hiding Holographic Salami.
There are numerous terms for the universe's creative freedom :
- Quintessence
- Vacuum potential
- Hoover Maneuvers
- Primordial Pressure Parameters
- Void Family Values,
- Einsteinian Isomorphic Archaeo-Inanity Expectation
- Dork Energy
All terms for the Cosmological Quasiconstant, ☺.

So you have this single virtual wave-particle.
It is unimaginably energetic, incredibly hot. So hot, it would make the particle want to turn around and go back where it came from. This is called virtual spin or "The Ding Dang Big Bang Birth Pang".
(If all of this sounds preposterously illogical to you, then you have just earned your diploma from Ben's School O' Quantum Mechanics On Line. Congratulations.
Meanwhile Back in our local universe,
space itself was in the process of being defined,
all possible spaces existed simultaneously in superposition.
Dimensions, curvatures, orbifolds and spherical chickens all being tried on for size.
Don’t look at me; I didn’t make this part up !
The second phase transition
occurred when the fermions split off and decided to be spin one-half. The
Pauli exclusion pressure between these fermions caused an instantaneous quantum
leap as they separated. In economic language we could say, too few gravitons chasing
too many fermions causes inflation. At this point, space acquired a
fractal nature. Compactified dimensions count as less than one each. The three
main dimensions and all of the other compactified dimensions add up to, oh, say
3.1416… or thereabouts. Now, the fermions form a second sphere,
expanding outward at less than the speed of light, obeying the speed limit set
by Einstein with special relativity. All of the photons and gravitons in the
first sphere but outside the second sphere continue on outward, never to be
reabsorbed. This breaks time symmetry.
The Beauty is Truth in Physical Law
Act of 1939 states that CPT — charge, parity, and time taken all together —
should be a perfect symmetry. If time symmetry is broken, then CP
symmetry is also broken. The second phase transition brought with it the second
law of thermodynamics, and our old nemesis, entropy.
Entropy is the bane of information. Entropy eats information for lunch.
When information goes to the other side of the ledger book, wave functions start
collapsing all over the place. Galactic eggs are formed. Spherical Chickens are hatched.
The
speed of new bosons still emitted on a regular basis far outstrips the speed of
the fermions which emit them, and a portion of them escapes from the second
sphere to the first, never to be reabsorbed. The escaping gravitons constitute
leakage and there is no cosmic Pampers.
Just as Newton’s laws of motion had to be modified by special relativity, so his third law must be modified: For every action there is an almost equal and opposite reaction.
This is a slight asymmetry of dualities. The expansive force of quintessence causes the retractive force of gravity, but not with perfect symmetry.
Quintessence is conserved but gravity leaks out, so it is not conserved.
This explains the increase in the rate of expansion of the universe of late.
It is still unclear whether this leakage occurs because the bosons are not conserved, or that they are not conserved because they are leaking. Sort of what came first? The Spherical Chicken or the Egg...or maybe a Polygonal Lobster for that matter...hey anything is possible...but not everything is probable.

The other quasiconstants, G,
h, and c, change with the changes of the threads of the
corduroy of the cosmos. They change rapidly at phase changes and much more
slowly otherwise. Look for a yearly rate of change on the order of one part in
13.7 billion. The fabric of spacetime is woven from wave-entangled
timelines of the point-like or, time-sheets of string-like particles.
As noted earlier, nature takes its freedom not from the fabric of spacetime but from the voids in between. It is within these voids where the laws of cause and effect are not enforced. As new particles add new threads to the warp and weave, the voids diminish in size, and G, h, and c diminish proportionally. This does have an effect, but not so much that you would notice.
Don’t mess about with the fine structure constant. It works fine just the way it is.

As our universe expands out and
dies its heat death, the size of the gaps in the fabric increases. The value of
h again becomes very large. In fact, the remnants of one Universe
might mediate and fine-tune the initial values of each succeeding Universe. One
might have to wait a million billion trillion years for it to happen, but the
cauldron of creation boils eventually when there is no one there to watch it.
To sum it up, we now have the standard model of cosmology.
If the sciences were funded adequately, we might have had the deluxe model.
And Plasma of course...is...another matter. :P
