Proving the Universe Origin via Quantum Cosmology

HOW QUANTUM COSMOLOGY EXPLAINS THE ORIGIN OF UNIVERSE WITHOUT APPEALING TO ANYTHING SUPERNATURAL ABOUT THE UNIVERSE ORIGIN.

It is important to note that scientists claim that the universe is around 13.8 billion years(13,800.000.000) and the earth around 4.543 billion years. In making this proof, Professor James Pearce divided his work in 3 parts of listed 25 points.

PART I

1. Matter = energy. I assume everyone knows this; we can thank this fact for nuclear weapons and reactors.
2. Traditionally (going back at least to Aristotle), it was believed that something cannot be created from “nothing.”
3. But what is “nothing”? No attempt was ever made to formulate this concept, beyond “the absence of properties,” “absolute void” or “perfect vacuum.”
4. Science has known since the 19th Century (long before quantum theory) that there is no such thing as an “absolute void” or “perfect vacuum.”
5.  Hence, there is “no thing” like “nothing” as traditionally understood, so part of the problem is already resolved.
6. But if there is no such thing as “classical nothing,” then what was there before there was a universe?
7. The answer is “low grade background energy.” Such energy would not be perceivable with the naked senses (if we can even imagine such things existing), any more than radio static can be perceived without a radio.
8. But what is energy? Here’s where it gets weird and interesting.

PART II

9. Most people think that energy is composed of atoms which are composed of sub-atomic particles, but this is a mistake. At the level of the atom (or below) the concept of “particle” doesn’t really make sense (that’s why photons are regarded as BOTH waves and particles). In fact, the concept of “particle” is a MODEL that we impose upon the universe in order to understand something which, strictly speaking, can only be expressed mathematically.
10. But if energy does not consist of particles, of what does it consist? Here’s the hard part.
11. Energy consists of probability. (Say what??) One way of expressing this might be, “To say that energy is present at location <L> is equivalent to saying that the probability of the occurrence of some event <E> at< L>, at any unspecified time <T>, is greater than zero.”  Translated into ordinary language, this means something like, “Where there is energy, the likelihood that something will eventually happen is always greater than zero, and given an incalculably long duration (possibly infinitely long), the probability of something (eventually) happening is 1.  [In probability theory, a probability of 1 is equivalent to guaranteed, absolute certainty.]
12. A random event within the field of “quantum nothingness” (an actual term used in quantum cosmology, but not to be confused with “classical nothingness”) is called a “vacuum fluctuation.”
13. Vacuum fluctuations occur randomly, and forever and ever without end, amen, within the field of quantum nothingness.
14. What results from vacuum fluctuations?
15. Typically the result of a vacuum fluctuation will be a pair of “particles” (poor but unavoidable term), one positively and the other negatively charged. These “particles” will have extremely brief life-spans (on average, 10^-27 seconds). HOWEVER, given the random nature of quantum probability, it is POSSIBLE (though extremely unlikely) that ANYTHING could result from a vacuum fluctuation. Theoretically, a fully formed goat or a bicycle could suddenly pop into existence from quantum nothingness. Moreover, if the duration of quantum nothingness is infinite, then it is INEVITABLE that, at some point in the course of infinity, EVERYTHING will happen.
16. Those who have understood me to this point will see that the problem of “creating something from nothing” has already been solved; but, for the benefit of those to whom this may not be obvious, I’ll unpack it.

PART III

17. Suppose a particle-pair pops into existence as the result of a quantum fluctuation. (There would be no way to judge the size of this particle, since there is no space in which to measure it, but I have read hypotheses ranging from sub-atomic to 400 miles in diameter.)
18. It just so happens that the mass of this particle-pair is GINORMOUS. In fact, the mass of this particle-pair is equivalent to the entire total mass of what, today, we call “the universe.”
19. Because of its incredible mass, this particle pair is gravitationally unstable. [I am assuming that everyone understands that gravity is a function of mass.]
20. Despite its likely sub-nanosecond lifespan, this massive particle-pair is so unstable that it explodes before it can pop back out of existence.
21. [In what follows, I am uncertain of the time-spans involved and too lazy to look them up, so the numbers I give here are approximate but checkable.] Within about the first 3 seconds after the explosion, the “impact zone” of the explosion had already expanded to cosmic dimensions. This period of hyper-sudden, initial expansion is known as “the inflationary period.” The inflationary period would have required the “shockwave” of the explosion to travel much faster than light, which violates special relativity; HOWEVER, those regularities to which we refer as “natural laws” do not yet exist and hence do not apply to events prior to the cooling cycle.
22. The “big bang” is followed by a cooling period, around 300,000 years, during which the elements form, and law-like natural regularities begin to appear.
23. The events described above are calculated to have occurred between 13 and 15 billion years ago. How is this calculated? Given the current known (or conjectured) locations of the most distant celestial bodies, given the speed of light (c) as a constant, and given a central point from which everything originated, it would have taken 13 to 15 billion years for the celestial bodies to reach the distribution they now exhibit.
24. As the universe begins to unfold with law-like regularity, certain events become inevitable like, for example, the formation of stars, planetoids, star systems, galaxies and the appearance of life. [This explains why most quantum cosmologists believe that the occurrence of life throughout the universe is common; the occurrence of intelligent life, perhaps not so common; possibly even unique to earth.]
25. The “multi-verse hypothesis” emerges from the fact that, given enough time (perhaps an infinite duration), there is absolutely no reason why the events described above could only have happened once. Indeed, if quantum nothingness really is eternal, then it is virtually certain that this process has occurred an infinite number of times.
