I have a question of sorts.
I was taught that the universe formed from the Big Bang, which was a unique event. Much later I learned about the hypothesis of a multiverse, and the prospect that the Big Bang and our universe might not be as unique. This has off course has yet to be proven. Later we have also been introduced to the concepts of dark matter and dark energy.
What I want to get around to is an idea of the nature of dark energy. As I understand it, dark energy is necessary to make the math add up with an accelerating universe, which should not be happening if our universe was unique. Dark energy seems to me a Ad Hoc solution.
The question that keep coming back to me is: "What if there was a infinite space filled with stars, galaxies, black holes, the works, before the big bang?" What would it look like after the shockwave of the big bang passed through? What would happen to a black hole?
If you detonate a cracker in the sand, it will create a crater. The shockwave pushes the sand in front of it. In the case of matter and mass, we know that it behaves much the same way as sand would, and would probably be dragged along with the shockwave. Mass, as I know it, makes a curvature in space. If there was a perfectly good universe in place before the cracker detonated, would we not se a similar accumulation og mass along the edge of the shockwave, which then gets left in place when the wave looses momentum. If this is the case, then it is not unlikely, for me, that there could be a significant sphere of mass surrounding what we perceive to be the universe. Sort of like a crater. If that is true, then what amount of mass would be required to create the effects we see, and how distant would it be?
