The Energy of Space: This being all there is

This book, together with its upcoming companion titled "The Seeds of Life" (planned for 1Q 2026), considers the main aspects of what might be the biggest mystery of all - how everything came to be. As a broad outline, this book covers the creation of everything around us from seemingly nothing, leading to the origin of life itself in the next title. Although they are treating very different topics in the long evolution from what we believe was the complete void to the world we know, they can be read separately. Also, there are no undertones of any religion or supreme deity in any of this work.By bringing the concept of the aether back and explaining how absolutely everything is made of this intangible energy medium of space, we have even attempted to explain how the aether itself originated and evolved from the complete nothingness in the remote past. This alternative creation theory requires the rejection of the creation in the so-called Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago. However, the Big Bang is not a true creation theory, because what existed a priori to allow this event to happen? Do not expect to get a satisfying answer to that from anyone.With the void of space being filled with energy, what was to become our Universe evolved very slowly. Building upon what we refer to as the granularity of space and which is the direct cause of what we observe as quantum effects today, all the fundamental particles and photons, forces and fields and their properties evolved, and so also the laws of physics. We will present an entirely new theory of what particles and hence what tangible matter is. You will find that our models are very different from established theories. Our calculations are substantiated with actual measurements.Admittedly, an “ex-nihilo” creation theory like this must be rather speculative and with no hard evidence given. But it does focus on what other texts on this subject have failed to consider.As you read along, you will discover that this new approach has paved the way for a radically new perception of the material world and what Mother Nature has in hiding for us. Not only have we presented a theory of what electric charge actually is, we have even given a radically different explanation of the force of gravity and calculated the value of the gravitational constant. We have also developed a model of particles of matter, which allowed us to calculate their physical dimensions and other properties to an accuracy that is no short of amazing. To this we must also add that our model of the photon – the so-called particle of light, allowed a very simple explanation of what is known as the wave-particle duality of light. What might seem as impossibilities make sense once the correct models are used to describe the phenomena.It is our hope that independent researchers in theoretical physics, astronomy and other fields might find inspiration in what is presented here and over time fill in the many gaps that this book has revealed.The book is written in a textbook style, with sufficient details given, so that even a reader with a limited background should be able to follow the reasoning. Where there is mathematics beyond what is given in the Appendices, references are given to free online papers where more in-depth explanations and calculations can be found. Read more
