The Casimir force is a several order of magnitude stronger than the force of gravitational attraction.

An interesting link on the force

I have simplified the argument down to chaos and self organization only. An intelligent designer is no longer necessary Occam's razor.

Space "density" continually increases as a function of time. Analogous to being inside a black hole, yet we do not feel the crushing force, because our atoms are shrinking in correspondence to the increasing density of space-time. We are, after all, made OF space-time.

Yes, the laws of physics break down at the "Planck scale" which is the basis of my conjecture. From chaos, comes complex self organization.

order-->chaos-->order--> ... chaos-->order...



Lee Smolin might be onto something with his wild idea that black holes give birth to new universes. I take the logic one step further and postulate a theory of quantum gravity. Our universe could really be the inside of a collapsed star from a parent universe. The physics for a compactified dimension of radius R is the same for the physics of a compactified dimension of radius 1/R. There is no need to hypothesize an external hyperspace for the "baby universe" to expand into. As the star collapses, approaching the Plank scale, it becomes a chaotic "quantum foam". This chaos self organizes into a compressed quantum universe.

So what we observe as an absolute spacetime expansion is not really true. The expansion is relative. From a local perspective, the universe appears to expand with radius R. From a global perspective energy density is compressed with radius 1/R. The only real constant for the universe is "h", which is Planck's constant. All other physical constants are related to this basic evolutionary parameter ...h, an energy density ratio. The singularity then becomes a limit that is approched but never reached.

If the locality principle is not going to be thrown into the trash heap, then a viable option is that space is something analogous to homogeneously distributed probability density functions(a perfect fluid?) i.e. increasing energy-density gradients, giving the observed thermodynamic arrow of time. The observed cosmic expansion is, again, a "relative" one. A perspective effect from our local vantage point. A shrinking object gives the illusion of receding motion. Increasing *refractive* density gradients give the appearence of a doppler-red-shift. Space increases density as matter is re-sized.

Quantum Gravity.

Solve the Swcharzschild solution for the entire universe. Solve for the imaginary time value of the Schwarzchild solution using analytic continuation, which becomes periodic in the imaginary time direction. Quantum field theory calculations where imaginary time is periodic, with period 1/T are equivalent to statistical mechanics calculations where the temperature is T.

The periodic waveforms that are opposed yet "in phase" would be at standing wave resonance, giving the action, also, equivalent to an observed statistics for evaporation of black holes. In effect, a damped oscillation. Reality at resonance

As the energy density continues to be compressed, it becomes a quantum gravitational refractive effect, with paths of light rays being deflected by energy density variations. Light rays are deflected near massive objects. As the compression approaches singularity, the local observers will percieve an asymptotically flat, expanding universe.

Is life only an accidental by-product of the cosmic evolutionary process?
