I gave Nature a vacuum for her birthday. You're right. She hated it.

I'm not overly fond of vacuums, either.

What I said is neither theory nor hypothesis. All I did was mention some observations that others discovered. Both theory and hypothesis require some conclusion and prediction, usually discovered by some novel math, which I don't provide. If you have discovered something, I'm sure my statement is not significant. Your theory is safe.

@EdEarl What you said is very interesting. In particular where you mention how matter comes to be in a vacuum. My theory explains how the vacuum got there.Perhaps you might know who I could notify of my theory. Someone who's actually accessible and might even send me a, "Hmm... that's a thought!"

Perhaps its not so much of a theory as it is a new way of looking at the singularity. It even seems self evident since it must be the case that those 4 lines theoretical intersected. Take any one of them away and you're still stuck with theoretical lines.

And consider the nature of a straight line: A straight line has neither starting nor end point and is of infinite length.

It kind of sounds like the makings of a universe doesn't it?

The next question, then, would be "How did the theoretical lines come to intersect?" That would be the theory complete with its conclusion, prediction, the fancy math and a Nobel Prize.

@MarqG I'm a retired programmer, don't know any physicists. I can't help you, as I'm not a physicist. Sorry.

Good point! Where does it end? Does it ever end? And indeed, how can something come out of nothing?

If there is something, it must either come out of being or non-being. But it is impossible for being to come out of non-being, then it must come out of being. But if it comes out of being, it already is. I remember that from intro Philosophy back in college, although there may be more to the fundamental argument.

Something from nothing? Easy. Zero equals one plus negative one. Want me to prove it? One plus negative one equals zero.

Fun with math. How come god couldn't figure that out in his "divinely inspired" book?

@MarqG Where did the negative one come from?

@marga One example would be matter and antimatter. When one particle of matter was created its opposite was also created. Think of the universe as a duality. Up has to have a down. In has to have an out. Love has hate. Good has evil. In the end it all adds up to zero.

@MarqG where did the universe come from? where did matter and antimatter come from? In the end, it may all add up to zero...but what is "it"? And what about before "in the end"? It's something then, isn't it? And who or what was present/around/available to create the first particle of matter?

@marga
Religions says that was god. Science says, "We're trying to figure that out." Science accomplishes more in any given week than religion has accomplished (outside the arts) in thousands of years. I'm going with science.
