1. Introduction
The standard cosmological model describes an accelerating universe [
1,
2], yet the mechanisms remain debated. This paper builds upon a foundational framework first proposed by the author [
12], redefining
as
, and introducing Energy-Mass where spacetime and quantum physics emerge with
. Unlike static WIMPs probed by XENON1T with null results (
[
11]), this model posits dynamic injections detectable via cosmic microwave background (CMB) anomalies, bypassing underground constraints. A feedback loop accelerates expansion as cold-mass absorbs energy near an infinite state
, detectable via CMB anomalies [
4], offering alternatives to dark energy and dark matter. This framework integrates thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, extending prior concepts with new evidence and derivations.
2. Energy-Mass Framework
Einstein’s
is reframed as:
defining Energy-Mass (
) and Space-Time (
). When
,
; when
, spacetime exists, forming an expanding state.
3. The Infinite Universe
Since ( undefined) and is viable (, ), Energy-Mass indestructible ensures an infinite universe across forms.
4. Pre-Expansion Infinity: The Golden Point
Hubble’s expansion and infinity before expansion implies an origin at
, denoted the Golden Point
, where
and momentum is absent. Cold-mass
transitions to
, yet
remains immutable:
5. System Definition
Three states define the universe’s evolution:
5.1. State 1: Pre-Spacetime State
Energy:
Mass: (latent, pre-physical)
Specific energy:
Temperature:
Spacetime: Absent (, no metric)
Entropy: (single ordered state)
State 1, the Golden Point , exists pre-spacetime, with no volume or dynamics, rendering density () undefined; p=0 negates Pauli exclusion; Heisenberg’s is undefined without spacetime.
5.2. State 2: Cold-Mass
Energy: (pre-injection)
Mass: (single WIMP)
Specific energy: (pre-injection)
Temperature:
Spacetime: Absent (pre-transition)
Entropy: (single WIMP, pure state)
State 2 represents cold-mass as WIMPs translocating from before energy absorption.
5.3. State 3: Expanded CMB-like State
The universe evolves within an FLRW metric [
3]:
Energy:
Mass:
Specific energy:
Temperature:
[
4]
Volume: , expanding
Entropy: (high, photon disorder)
6. Thermodynamic Evolution and Feedback Loop
Energy () near triggers WIMP injections from State 2 into State 3:
Equilibrium () looms as grows.
Theorem 1 (Emergent Properties)
. When , spacetime and quantum properties emerge as derived from Maxwell’s equations, based on a framework first proposed by the author [12].
Proof. Begin with Maxwell’s relation for the speed of light:
where
c is the speed of light,
is the permeability, and
is the permittivity of free space. Squaring yields:
In the Energy-Mass framework,
, so:
Now, consider wave properties where
(wavelength
, frequency
f):
Substitute into the framework:
Equate with Maxwell’s result:
Multiply through by
:
For quantum mechanics, use Planck’s relation
(where
):
With
:
This relates mass to frequency, implying quantum properties (e.g., wave-particle duality) emerge when . If , , suggesting within spacetime. However, conservation of energy holds as persists outside spacetime (e.g., pre-injection cold-mass), transitioning to upon entry, preserving total energy. □
7. Results and Discussion
The feedback loop drives expansion via WIMP injections, detectable as CMB anomalies (cold spots,
,
of CMB sky [
9],
Figure 1; hot spots,
,
,
Figure 2) or redshift trends [
6]. CMB
supports cold spot scale [
4,
8], while hot spots reflect annihilation energy near
, contrasting static dark matter halos [
10]. These scales align with WMAP’s
anomalies across 41,253 deg
2[
8]. Unlike traditional WIMPs forming halos post-recombination, these dynamically inject from
, offering a testable alternative to dark energy [
7].
8. Conclusions
Energy-Mass () drives expansion via a WIMP-based feedback loop, detectable via CMB anomalies, approaching equilibrium, contrasting dark matter theories.
