Dear Prof. Dr. Fernando Alvarez, 

As the big bang theory is also challenged by observations, we’ve been thinking about alternatives; as a thought experiment, we start with a toy model which has everything to do with the qualitative and value:

  1. Assume the first manifestation of a thing is a geometrically simple infinitesimal sphere defined by the Planck base units with facets defined by the four primary irrational numbers. See a dynamic illustration.
  2. As a thought experiment, follow the simple stacking-packing-triangulating of spheres beginning at Notation-0.
    • Assume Planck Length is the first instantiation of space while Planck Time is the first moment of time and with the other base units defines thing. 
    • π’s continuity (infinite digits), symmetry, and harmony (Fourier dynamics) bridge the discrete Planck scale to continuous spacetime, avoiding the singularities of the Big Bang.
  3. The 202nd notation contains the current time, the Now. Once activated, each notation remains active, building on each other.
    • The first second of the universe is within Notation 143, the first year within Notation-169, the first 1000 years within Notation 179 (and 189-one million and 199-one billion). 
  4. Assuming one Planck Sphere per unit of Planck Time-Planck Length, and unit of Planck Mass-Planck Charge, it calculates to be approximately 18.5 tredecillion spheres per second: https://81018.com/tredecillion/
  5. Using those figures, Grok and ChatGPT calculate the Hubble Tension to be 71km/s/Mpc: https://81018.com/hubble-derivation
  6. Infinities of the four primary irrational numbers are the stabilizers of those infinitesimal spheres within Notation-0:  https://81018.com/Planck-Polyhedral-Core/The densities and speed create perfect stacking-packing
  7. Natural gaps within tetrahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons and icosahedrons open dissonance, indeterminacy and creativity (enchantment) which are first measured in and around Notation-64.
  8. The continuity-symmetry-harmony of the hyper-rational incommensurables amounts to a system of ethics and values: https://81018.com/ethics/

 It’s a bit different. What do you think? It actually may be testable! We’re working on it.

Thank you.

Most sincerely,

Bruce
