This posting is a recap of my 2012 Super Mass Collision Theory of the Universe.
This article is to compare and contrast my universe theory with the set of assumptions that is The Big Bang Theory. It states that, along with a blizzard of precise calculations, that a random explosion occurred that also spawned energy, matter, space and time.
The Universe, to its greater glory, is eternal. It always has been and it always will be. We live on a finite world with an excellent view of the cosmos. Space and time are limitless, which is hard for many to truly grasp this concept.
The Big Bang Theory and my Super Mass Collision Theory have a lot in common, except for one big difference. They say The Big Bang, I say A Big Bang.
Here are the nuts & bolts of my theory (the life cycle of a Super Mass collision):
The endless universe has limitless amounts of energy and matter, abundant in some areas and sparse in others.
As we can see, in our observations of the known universe, energy and matter tend to cluster. Gravity has no known limit to its reach.
We begin in a more abundant area of energy and matter, say a few trillion light-years (in any direction) from our observable universe. Matter has mass and is therefore subject to the attraction of other matter. As a mass gradually attracts local mass, it's influence on more distant objects slowly increases too.
Issac Newton: The force of gravitation is proportional to the product of the object's masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Smaller mass clusters tend to move faster towards larger ones. It speeds up the process if a few hundred galaxies from a neighboring big bang zip through.
The massive cluster eventually becomes a super mass that eats galaxies, whose added mass greatly increases the super masses gravitational range.
This super mass has (long ago) ingested everything in its reach dwarfing everything. There is only one thing that can cause any major disruption.
The fatal flaw: This is one of those "be careful what you wish for" things.
Somewhere, in the inky blackness, something starts to feel a feeble attraction over a great distance. Over a great many millennia, the super mass and the unknown mass start moving toward each other. The gathering speed and their relative mass will determine when and where they will collide and the energy released. More on the order of massive black holes, you won't see them converging. Super masses, like black holes, would tend to keep their photons, so they must be very bright inside.
The newly detected mass is also a super mass. When they eventually collide, the collective speed and mass will cause “all hell to break loose.” This will, more or less, mirror our current Big Bang.
If only a small percentage of the masses convert to energy upon contact, the explosive energy release would be (was) enormous.
This may explain the phenomenon known as dark energy, dark matter or cosmic dust, due to the bulk of the mass not converting to energy. Also, there might be more than two masses colliding, or a mass with another orbiting it that struck the main mass at relatively the same time. There may be hundreds of combinations to consider.
This type of collision also speeds up galaxy formation, because it doesn't have to start all over as only hydrogen atoms, like The Big Bang says it has to. No mass in my theory starts as pristine material. It is all recycled. A Super Mass Collision is a dusty, dirty business. ~John Bowers
