Chapter 3. The Light of Existence

“There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

Douglas Adams, 1995.

If our universe began as one photon, in the beginning there was light, but not as we know it. In the last chapter, our universe began as one white-hot photon of light in one unit of space. This first event then cascaded into the chain-reaction that physics calls inflation, which created all the quantum waves that constitute our universe in a million, billion, billion, billionth of a second, until space expanded enough to dilute the light and stop it. The result was a tiny plasma of white-hot light that then expanded at light speed to form the galaxies and stars we see today. In this view, pure light, and only light, was the first thing to exist, so what is light? Download Whole Chapter
