This research work is the author's theory of the nature of the universe, based on modern achievements of physical science in understanding the laws of the Universe.
The work provides the first scientific explanation and logical justification for the origin of the Universe, how material matter appeared, when and how the Supreme Mind, souls, the immaterial world of the Universe appeared and what they are, provides evidence of the existence of the soul, what is the meaning of the life of the soul, why the Supreme Mind created and develops the material world of the Universe, why and how the soul interacts with a human, who is a human, what is the meaning of human life, why the Supreme Mind is interested in humanity and its development, why and how the Supreme Mind helps a human, why and how the Supreme Mind manages the development of a human and predetermines his fate, what are the functions of the human brain, what is the information field and how a human interacts with it, what future awaits the Earth, humanity and human civilization, why human civilization has a limit to its development, what is the meaning of the existence of the Universe.
The purpose of the work is to provide a modern person with the opportunity to rise to a higher level in cognizing the nature of the universe and understanding the meaning of his life.
The Universe before the Big Bang
Before the Big Bang, there was no material matter (elementary particles with mass) in the Universe, and, accordingly, no planets, stars, galaxies, or other space objects.
The Universe was filled only with space-time quanta. A quantum is an elementary part of a physical quantity. Space-time quanta are called "quantons" from the word "quantum".
A quanton consists of four massless charges: two electric and two magnetic of opposite polarity, and thus provides electromagnetic symmetry of the Universe. Quantons are linked together by charges of opposite sign, and thus form an elastic quantized medium. An analogy can be drawn with a certain grid of electric and magnetic field lines that connect the entire Universe together. Quantons are located at the nodes of this grid.
A quanton is a universal particle that is a carrier of space, time, energy, gravity and electromagnetism simultaneously, and therefore the entire space of the Universe filled with quantons is also called quantized space-time or space-time. The number of quantons in one cubic meter of space-time is about 10>75. The diameter of one quanton is about 10>-25 meters, which is ten orders of magnitude smaller than the size of an electron. The calculated electromagnetic energy of a quanton is about 10>-2 J. Quantized space-time has a colossal energy capacity. The energy capacity of one cubic meter of quantized space-time is 10>73 J. Therefore, quantized space-time is a carrier of super-strong electromagnetic interaction.
At some point in the existence of the Universe, the concentration of quantons in the Universe increased to such an extent that it led to an increase in the density of quantized space-time and, as a consequence, to an increase in the pressure and density of electromagnetic energy in the center of the Universe.
When the pressure and density of electromagnetic energy in the center of the Universe reached a critical level, at the point of singularity the destruction of quantons occurred, which released the colossal energy of the quantons located there, which in turn led to the Big Bang.
According to modern concepts, the Big Bang occurred in the Universe about 13.8 billion years ago.
The one who filled the Universe with quantons and increased their concentration in the Universe, which led to the Big Bang, is the Creator of the Universe. For possible reasons for the creation of the Universe, see the chapter "What is the Meaning of the Existence of the Universe?" below.
The Shape and Size of the Universe
The increase in the concentration of quantons in the center of the Universe, which led to the Big Bang, indicates that the Universe is not infinite and has a spherical shape.
