The Dark Shell (5) Before the Big Bang

The Dark Shell (5) Before the Big Bang

If folded dark matter exists largely or completely in another dimensionality, that is in a different time & space region, then it can be argued that during the early phase of the big bang, the mass of the dark matter had little effect on the developing universe.

It would seem that the current accelerated expansion of the universe is primarily, if not solely, due to the expansion of unfolded dark matter and not to the unfolding process (which is now probably complete). Some unfolded or partially unfolded dark matter probably still exists in black holes.

Once the boundary conditions for the expansion are known, it should be a rather logical result. Somewhat like popcorn which explodes in a similar manner (internal water turning to steam). It is unclear whether the current density of dark matter in our universe is greater or less than that found in our dark shell.

A more interesting and difficult question is the question of whether or not a dark shell has an inner skin. If it does, it probably leaks over some range of the spectrum of dark matter. If an inner skin exists, then the skin may in some fundamental way be different than the skin on the outside of the shell. If only the outer skin exists then one can argue that some topological or mathematical functionality may be at work. This is not essential but it is a nice thing to consider.

If an inner skin exists however, the situation becomes very complex. This would imply that dark matter inherently is capable of forming a surface boundary. All of the diversity of liquid-gas boundaries then come into play. One could postulate interior voids in the dark shell. One could postulate enclosed quantities of dark matter (with a little baryonic matter thrown in) with these items external to the dark shell. The issue of whether or not an inner skin exists or not thus is a serious item.

If stars are produced by clouds of interstellar dust & gas and universes are produced by dark shells, then the river of energy from which dark shells are derived must be a truly special region. It may be supposed that it has a somewhat periodic nature.

The proposed sequence thus is as follows: A great and somewhat periodic river of energy gives rise to ultimate black holes, each of which is larger than our universe. The inherent characteristic of the dark matter expands inside of an ultimate black hole causing the creation of a ballooning black hole, the shell of which oscillates about the residual fragment of the original ultimate black hole. This large scale oscillation of a dark shell can create a triple point singularity which is in effect a great sink into which massive amounts of dark matter flow. The dark matter is folded as it goes in. Baryonic matter which enters is converted into energy. At some point, the singularity becomes unstable resulting in a big bang. The folded dark matter then unfolds, except in local black holes and begins to expand except near baryonic matter. Near baryonic matter, there is a limit on compressibility and beyond a given distance, the constraint radius, it expands. A universe ultimately falls back onto the surface of its dark shell and then becomes part of it. Dark shells can be destroyed by rogue singularities but tend to reform.

Arguments in favor of an inner skin for dark shells: Even if folded dark matter does hold most of its mass (characteristics of mass) in another set of dimensions, it must be argued that some residual amount of mass must remain in our space/time so as to allow for aggregations of dark matter in black holes. Let us assume that an ultimate black hole for an instant contains only folded dark matter and some final form of baryonic matter (Mj) and let us assume that due to unique local conditions, an unfolding of a small portion of the folded dark matter commences. For convenience, let us assume that this occurs at a point of maximum density (i.e., in the center). It is assumed that unfolded dark matter is less dense than folded dark matter. For the ballooning of the center of an ultimate black hole to occur, it seems logical that there must be some sort of contact effect whereby unfolded dark matter causes nearby folded dark matter to unfold. It can be argued therefore that this boundary in some sense constitutes a skin or layer, at least at this stage of the expansion. What about Mj? It may be that some small variation at this time determines whether all baryonic matter will become matter or antimatter. Since it is all concentrated in one region of extreme density, this may be the result. If so, then a dark shell and all of the universes it might create would be composed of either matter or antimatter. One could then argue for the existence of single dark shells or for multiple groups of dark shells of one type or the other. One then must tolerate the possibility that a collision between different types of dark shells (one composed of matter and one composed of antimatter) would constitute an event of extreme proportions. This seems to be a good point to again suggest the possibility that dark matter is a third type of matter and that it stands aside from this type of destruction (conversion to energy).

If folded dark matter has the power to unfold and enlarge an ultimate black hole, then it should be no surprise that it is expanding our universe at an accelerated rate. It would seem that black holes in our universe might more properly be termed "small wobbly black balloons" since the processes involved should be much like those which would create a dark shell.

It may be that the black holes in our universe are too small for an unfolding of folded dark matter within a black hole to occur. The size of an ultimate black hole and the great duration of its existence prior to such an event may be requisites for such an event to happen. However, if such events occur in black holes in our universe, then the presence of such a distortion may be detectable in the motion of nearby rotating bodies.

Black holes may be rotating and if such a void exists within a black hole, then the overall shape would be elongated with one end larger than the other.

A further argument can be made for the existence of an inner skin for the dark shell. The free and accelerated expansion of our universe argues for a constraining skin on the inner surface of the dark shell. The interior would only be filled with the remnant of the original unfolding dark matter that formed the dark shell. It can be argued that the boundary which propagated outward from the center of the ultimate black hole became the dark shell with the inner and outer surfaces of the outwardly expanding boundary becoming respectively the inner and outer surfaces of the dark shell. Again, it must be stated that there should be a basic difference between the skin on the inside and the skin on the outside of the dark shell.

The unfolded dark matter within a black hole is probably a remnant of the original dark matter passing through the big bang.
