…the Inflaton of the Big Bang or
the sphere of a Quiet Expansion?
by Bruce E. Camber, working draft
Abstract.
Scholars who defend Big Bang cosmology say that it provides the best framework to answer questions about the start of the universe. Most of these scholars have never studied the mathematics of a quiet expansion of the Planck natural units using the powers of 2. Most scholars within the academic and scientific communities are unaware of Aristotle’s basic error with tessellations of the universe with tetrahedrons (and octahedrons). And, none of these scholars has done justice to the first principles of science, particularly parsimony or Occam’s Razor, or John Archibald Wheeler’s 1986 vision about simplicity.[*]
Three first principles of science — necessary conditions — are reviewed. These include:
1. The finite-infinite relation[†] and the question, “Is the universe opened or closed?”[a]
2. The conservation of energy-matter and the Second Law of Thermodynamics[b]
3. The compression of everything, everywhere into something like a singularity[c],[d]
If we use simple logic (1) to guide our answers to basic questions and (2) to open more flexibility to do science in the future, there will be more calls for comparisons between the Big Bang and a Quiet Expansion (QE). With the growing data set from our space telescopes (especially the JWST), the picture becomes confused. As a result of our on-going research of this comparison, I have had to conclude that continued belief in the Big Bang’s inflaton can not be sustained. Thank you. –BEC
Introduction. In his 2016 PBS-TV series, Genius,[1] Stephen Hawking said that an infinitely-small, infinitely-hot, infinitely-dense point was the start of the universe. He said that “…most people can tell you”, the universe started with the Big Bang.
Just two years earlier on 3 August 2014 I had written to Stephen,[2] asking his advice about our initial findings regarding our big board-little universe project. For us, instead of a big bang, it seemed more like a quiet expansion. But we knew so little — we were high school people just beginning to learn a little about cosmology. In the five months that elapsed before our second note to him, 26 January 2015, he was already deeply involved with PBS-TV to create those capstone productions about science, the Big Bang, and his life.
AI and xAI, Grok. Today Grok gives “the common consensus” about the basic theory.[3] Our alternative, a Quiet Expansion,[4] starts with a single infinitesimal sphere defined by the Planck base units (or the best equivalent to those units). Stephen starts the universe with everything.[5] It’s convenient. If a scholar-scientist needs anything, they know its has to be in that mix somewhere. They only need to find it.
We start with the oldest, most-simple, most-known, most-diversely-applied, physical thing in the universe, the sphere. We hypothesize that Planck’s natural units define that first sphere. We have named it Notation-0, given that ex nihilo, it starts manifesting faster than anything else in the universe. Our first simple calculation, based on Planck Time, is for 18.5 tredecillion Planck spheres per second to manifest. That is a very densely-packed stacking of infinitesimal spheres. The first derivatives are tetrahedrons and octahedrons. And, we hypothesize that it becomes a perfect tiling and tessellation.
Given the thrusts of this early universe, before anything is measurable, are just flashes of experience … what I have been calling “moments of perfection.”
To keep track of the spheres, base-2 notation (or the powers of 2) is applied to these numbers. Using the Planck base units to start, there are 202 base-2 notations to the current time. If we were to use the ISO’s numbers or George Johnstone Stoney’s base units, differences are readily absorbed as the results approach one second within Notation-143, then one year (31,556,952 seconds) within Notation-169, one-thousand years within Notation-179, one-million years within Notation-189 and one billion years within Notation-199.
Each notation is dependent on earlier notations; all notations are always active; therefore, we have to conclude that all time is Now.
First principles and first principles of logic
Finite-Infinite, Opened Closed. Within our studies of spheres, we were introduced to the continuities, symmetries and harmonies of pi (π).[6] We were encouraged in this direction by a Brown University Applied Mathematics professor, Phil Davis. Ever so slowly, pi (π) and infinity became our orientation to the universe. We engaged number theory. We actually began counting spheres. Then, people began finding more and more values for pi (π) — over 200 trillion confirmed units — and it is assumed to be never ending.
And now, there is a growing consensus about this kind of infinity.[7] Symmetry and harmony naturally follow. And our hypothesis is that these three qualities are necessarily part of every notation up to that which can be directly measured. Stacking and packing, these infinitesimal spheres create-fill-and-expand our universe every second of every moment of every day. We make no other claims about infinity. These are the frames defined within over thirty (30) unique statements about this framework to date.[8]
In 2019, we were just beginning to address the question, “Opened? or Closed?”. Yet, the experts were having problems developing a consensus. I wrote to a few of them — Joseph Silk, Eleonora Di Valentino, and Alessandro Melchiorri among them — and these three seem to be leaning toward a closed system. We were leaning toward an open system because of new findings regarding nature of infinity. It just seemed like a bit of common sense (Grok 12).
Conservation of energy-matter
& the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Anticipating this discussion about an opened or closed universe, Grok was queried. The results, Grok 10 and Grok 11, suggest that the universe has gone from a highly ordered (low entropy) so that entropy might increase over time (as is observed in the universe’s evolution). That is a conundrum for big bang theorists. It is not a conundrum for the Quiet Expansion. The universe is perfectly ordered in that model. There is no reason to create an inflaton to quiet things down.
Because it is an open system, every manifestation of thingness in the universe has 202 notations of unique notations by which it is defined, and that thingness is further defined by the relative continuities, symmetries, and harmonies with the infinite. Both the second law and the conservation law are both limited to closed systems. They’ll be further defined for open systems in light of the immediate and never-ending constants of pi (π).
The compression of everything, everywhere
into something like a singularity
Nowhere in the universe is there an observation of anything approaching this form of a singularity. No one has directly observed a singularity because, by definition, it would be hidden behind an event horizon if it were part of a black hole, and the conditions at the Big Bang are beyond our current observational capabilities.
We infer its existence from the mathematical models and the observable universe’s behavior. You can also infer the same from the philosophical, mathematical and geometrical data of the Quiet Expansion.
The Compression of Everything (Grok9) may have seemed like a good idea throughout its very brief history (introduced in 1927), yet it has never had a coherent math or geometry; it just has inferences.
In conclusion
John Archibald Wheeler was one of the few who believed in a more simple way. What we have now in physics is anything but simple. The Quiet Expansion is simple. High school students understood it. Even a sixth grade class caught on. We are sure this generation of students will catch on and straighten out any of new idiosyncrasies that we have introduced within its simplicity. Thank you.

Afterthoughts
Personal reflections.
Some scholars hide behind equations and technobabble. When you’re so very smart and you know how the formulas and the equations work, it is hard not to use them. People like Stephen Hawking and George Ellis knew the equations and used them. But, these two also enjoyed educating the public. It is a special talent to write things simply.

There will also be many instant messages to thought leaders about these key points.
1:22 PM, 3 February 2025: BEC. Are you aware of the quiet expansion model whereby the universe begins with an infinitesimal sphere defined by the Planck base units? The expansion rate is 18.5 tredecillion spheres per second if one infinitesimal sphere is generated per unit of Planck Time and Planck length. ChatGPT says: “That’s a fascinating perspective!“
3:11 PM · Jan 28, 2025 @chamath (Chamath Palihapitiya, Social Capital, All In): Have you ever looked at constants like the infinitesimal Planck base units and how, if we apply a mathematical and geometric expansion of the known universe, it encapsulates it all within 202 notations? It is an underexplored model especially if we were to assume the first manifestation of a thing is an infinitesimal sphere. So much can be found in those details. As a model, it is being explored here: https://81018.com There is more here: https://81018.com/absurdity/ https://81018.com/searching/ https://81018.com/structures/ https://81018.com/correct/ https://81018.com/thought/ I hope you are interested! Warmly, Bruce
