According to the cosmological inflation theory in the very early phase of the universe and in a very short period of time, the universe expanded exponentially.
According to the grid model (see: the label Grid model), our universe exists on a grid field, space itself consists of an ordered (solid) structure of Planck size particles. The structure is the grid field, and the particles are the grid particles. This solid structure is empty space. The grid particles' vibrations affect the structure. Our regular matter, the standard particles exist on this grid structure as waves, as manifestations of synchronized vibrations of the grid particles. In the grid model, the neighboring grid particles' high-frequency asynchronous vibrations can transform to synchronized vibrations, form local structured vibration patterns, waveforms. These waveforms eventually are the standard particles. These waveforms are what we empirically experience in the space; these are the things that exist for us. According to the grid model, the synchronously vibrating grid particles are closer to each other than those, where the vibrations are not synchronized. Thus, the synchronously vibrating grid particles distort the structure of the grid field, distort the space, and create the effect of gravity. Other forces and fields of the standard model are manifested by the patterns of the synchronous vibrations.
The cosmic inflation theory can explain many aspects of the universe that we can see, which without the inflation theory would be difficult to understand or explain. What is the cosmic inflation model for and what are the properties of the universe, which the model does explain? How the grid model can approach these questions, and what answers it can provide to these problems?
The flatness problem
Our universe, more specifically the spacetime of the universe, the big scale curvature of the space appears to be flat. Flatness is determined by the energy content of the space. For the space to be flat, the energy must be a given, precise and single value, called critical density all over in the universe. The current density of the universe is observed to be very close to this critical value.
If the average energy density of the universe were even slightly greater or smaller than the critical density in the instant following the Big Bang, Omega (the ratio of the average density to the critical density) would have zoomed to infinity or crashed to zero as the universe evolves. The fact that we are still around is evidence that the density must have been extremely close to the critical density after the Big Bang.
According to the cosmic inflation theory, the inflation model's rapid expansion caused space to become flattened, forcing Omega toward one, no matter what its initial value was. The inflation forced the scale of any curvature to flatness.
According to the grid model, space did not born in the Big Bang, space always existed and exists as a grid field. Before the Big Bang, space existed in a specific quantum state, in a global quantum equilibrium, existed as a global Bose-Einstein condensate of the grid particles. Because of this global equilibrium, the grid field is homogeneous and balanced down to the dimension of the Planck size and energy at the moment of the Big Bang. In the grid model, the space is inherently flat.
The grid model does not need cosmic inflation to explain flatness and the precisely specific density of the universe. In the grid model, the Big Bang is a global phase change of the grid field, instead of a process creating the space.
Horizon problem
Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and galaxy surveys show that the observable universe is nearly-isotropic, and hence, homogeneous on a global scale.
If the universe started with even slightly different temperatures in different places, the CMB should not be isotropic, unless there is a mechanism that evens out the temperature.
According to the inflationary model, the universe increased in size by a factor of more than 10 over 22, from a small and causally connected region in near equilibrium. Inflation then expanded the universe rapidly, isolating nearby regions of spacetime by growing them beyond the limits of causal contact, effectively "locking in" the uniformity at large distances.

Because of this global equilibrium, the grid field is homogeneous and balanced down to the dimension of the Planck size and energy. The space in the grid model is inherently isotropic at the moment of the Big Bang.
Anisotropy
Total isotropy in the universe at the Big Bang would lead to a different universe, like what we can experience. A specific degree of anisotropy must be present or must be created at the Big Bang to create our universe. Observing the CMB, we can see this small-scale anisotropy.
According to the inflation model, small thermal variations, generated by quantum fluctuations of matter in a very tiny space had expanded by the inflation to the size of the observable universe that could create the observed anisotropy.
In the grid model, cosmic anisotropy can naturally occur. According to the grid model, the Big Bang was a phase change of the grid field. The difference created by the process of a phase change is a natural behavior of a phase transition. If the grid model is a valid approach to the physical reality, observation of the CMB anisotropy can help to define the grid field properties, to match the observed data.
Magnetic monopoles problem
Particle theories, the standard model predicts the existence of the magnetic monopoles. We did not find or encounter any of these particles.
According to the inflation theory, the exponential expansion of the space is separated the magnetic monopoles to a big distance. To find any of them is very unlikely.
To answer for the magnetic monopoles problem in the grid model, it might enough to consider that the model's phase transition in the moment of the Big Bang could allow rare and hence distant magnetic monopoles creations.
The grid model even can handle the magnetic monopoles problem fundamentally differently too. If the grid model is a valid approach to physical reality, it would provide one level deeper view of the physical reality than our current understandings. By this new approach, a new foundation could be used for the standard model, which might not require the existence of the magnetic monopoles.
The grid model might able to provide explanations to problems, to where the cosmic inflation model is the current view.
This is better perception, but has to be simplified such that common man understand it. They key is to visualize principle and design of particle that dances and explain why and how it from atoms and cosmic system we see
ReplyDeleteDear John,
DeleteThank you for your comment. Yes, you are right, what you mentioned is a must. If the grid model is valid, it would be a new physics, a deeper level of the reality.
As a thinker, I am only, who provide heuristic thoughts, ideas, hypotheses and unorthodox answers for unresolved questions. This is my limit and ability. The rest, the confirmation, formalization, or the disavowal is others' task if anybody thinks, it worth the effort.
