Title: An Alternative Cosmological Model: Spontaneous Matter Generation, Antimatter Segregation, and the Origin of Cosmic Structure
Author: Gerard van Dorst
Abstract: This paper presents an alternative model to the traditional Big Bang theory, suggesting that the universe is an infinite, self-sustaining system where matter is generated spontaneously from vacuum fluctuations. This model proposes that antimatter has not been annihilated completely but exists in segregated domains, forming a cosmic balance similar to the Yin-Yang principle. Furthermore, cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) and large-scale void structures may be remnants of early matter-antimatter interactions, challenging conventional views on universal expansion and structure formation.
1. Introduction
Current cosmological models rely on the Big Bang framework, which assumes an initial singularity and rapid expansion. However, several unresolved issues remain, such as the missing antimatter problem, unexplained cosmic voids, and inconsistencies in dark matter explanations. This paper proposes an alternative hypothesis where the universe is infinite and continuously generates matter, leading to its observed structure without requiring a singular beginning.
2. Spontaneous Matter Generation
Quantum field theory allows for spontaneous particle creation in a vacuum, as seen in laboratory experiments.
Instead of a singular origin, this model suggests that matter is continuously generated through a cascading chain reaction, similar to a mousetrap-ping-pong ball experiment, where an initial fluctuation triggers an expanding chain of matter formation.
Unlike traditional models where matter and antimatter annihilate instantly, this process allows for persistent matter accumulation.
3. Antimatter Segregation and the Yin-Yang Universe
Traditional physics assumes equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created but annihilated almost completely.
This model proposes that matter and antimatter were naturally separated into distinct cosmic regions rather than annihilating entirely.
The separation could be due to repelling gravitational effects or asymmetric quantum interactions.
Antimatter galaxies may exist beyond our observable universe or be hidden due to gravitational effects, contributing to what is currently described as "dark matter."
4. Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) as a Matter-Antimatter Boundary
The CMB is typically seen as the afterglow of the Big Bang, but it may instead be the residual radiation from early matter-antimatter boundary annihilations.
Regions where matter and antimatter domains met in the early universe would have experienced massive energy releases, leaving behind what we now observe as the CMB.
Variations in CMB temperature could be traces of past matter-antimatter annihilation intensity.
5. Large-Scale Structure and Cosmic Voids as Annihilation Zones
The large-scale cosmic web is composed of filaments of galaxies surrounding enormous voids.
This model proposes that these voids are remnants of past matter-antimatter annihilation events, where space was "cleared out" by violent interactions between the two regions.
Instead of being random, voids could mark former high-energy regions where antimatter domains once existed.
6. Gravitational Properties of Antimatter and Implications for Dark Matter
If antimatter has gravitational repulsion instead of attraction, it would naturally segregate itself from matter-dominated regions.
This could explain why we do not observe antimatter directly—because it remains at the edges of our cosmic horizon.
Some phenomena attributed to dark matter could instead be effects from gravitational interactions between matter and antimatter regions.
7. Conclusion and Future Predictions
This model challenges the standard view of a single-origin universe, proposing instead a continuous, self-generating cosmos.
Matter and antimatter exist in balance but in separate regions, preventing full annihilation.
Future research could test this model by looking for gamma-ray signatures in cosmic voids, anomalous gravitational effects, or unexplained CMB asymmetries.
If correct, this theory would redefine our understanding of cosmic origins, structure, and the fate of the universe.
Final Thought
If the universe operates as an ever-expanding chain reaction, then the traditional notion of a single beginning may be flawed. Instead, the cosmos may be an eternal, self-sustaining system where matter and antimatter maintain a complex but balanced existence.
