" The History of our Universe and its Physics ". Tom Gehrels (Department of Planetary
Sciences, University of Arizona) Abstract: A wonderful thing happened when I started
using an equation left by Chandrasekhar, of which he believed it might go
far. It leads to our universe being a member of a quantized system of
universes. In that trial-and-error evolutionary system, they survive only
with the critical mass and physics of our universe. The analysis is simple,
strictly from the equation. Now
the question is how our universe originated from that system. The second part
of the discussion is based on experience with the interstellar medium (ISM)
and with star formation on 1019-times smaller scales. In our
astronomical environment everything appears to age and decay; even the proton
may have a limited half-life. The decay products of all the universes expand
eventually into the inter-universal medium (IUM), and that causes the new
universes to start uniformly, with small variations due to the local
distribution of galaxy clustering. Recognition of the uniformity and galaxy
clustering in 3-K-background observations brings proof for this history. It
also indicates that the proto- universe stayed cool enough so that the
galaxy characteristics were not melted away. That is explained by the
gravitational energy being used for re-energizing and re-combination of the
old decayed photons and sub-atomic particles. This history clarifies several
old problems, such as the question why the baryons in our universe amount to
only 4%. Furthermore, a "Proton Bang" event appears to have
happened near proton density of 1018 kg/m3 at t ~ 10-6
secs with preserved particle properties, instead of the Big-Bang at t = 0.
From t ~ 10-6 secs onward, our universe proceeded as in the
standard model of particle physics. Two
papers, "The Cosmos is Quantized and based on the Proton", and
"Our Universe began at the Proton Level", as well as two 2007
