Thank you so much for reading this, Astoria Bob. I know you mentioned this is a bit out of your league, but of an interest nevertheless.
There is nothing to say about what was before other than that is was capable of producing matter.
In the Big Whisper theory, the tiniest of slightest movement, establishing the primordial setup for inward motion, was all it took to establish matter.
We all know that the tiniest of tiny tiny things can break up a marriage, so let's not make anything tiny tiny unimportant.
What was prior was capable of producing matter, and matter is actually then still very much of what the prior energy inherently was. Except now, we've added all this material real estate to it, hundreds of times more in our faces than that tiniest of movements.
So, whatever was prior was probably a whole lot easier and less complex than what we have today. Our very own energy is from that state as well. But who looks for tiny tiny nowadays. It is easily ignored and considered of no value.
Thank you, sir, I really appreciate your reply.
