Hello I am new here, I am a science and physics noob so please go easy on me. I have been wondering about the true nature of reality for some time, just because I am curious. During the proces I've come across the holographic universe theory, some quantum mechanics, some religious stuff, etc.

Heres what i have concluded so far and i would like to know if there are any mistakes in it:


The Big Bang started off as a singularity.

Quantum mechanics has shown that it is possible for energy to exist 'outside' of space and 'outside' of time.

So basically, all information/energy can exist in a single point(because it needs no space) without beginning or ending(because it needs no time).

So that could mean that right now, everything is still a singularity, because the energy doesn't need to (or cannot) exist in space and time.

So this means that the singularity is still there and that everything is 1 energy.


Ok that was it, please let me know if this is possible or if i made some mistakes.

It does? I think you might want to rethink that one.
 
I put 'outside' between quotes because i know i put it wrong somehow.

What i meant is: can't a photon be at two places at the same time and doesn't that mean that it doesn't really exist in space(until its observed)? That its nonlocal?

[edit] i think i put this one in the wrong forum, it should be in the philosophy section, ill put it there myself.
