I wanted to blend modern Space-time Theory to include fantasy elements. I could use some help to round out the rough edges.
Origin of the Multi-verse:
The broadly accepted theory for the origin and evolution of our universe is the Big Bang model, which states that the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point just over thirteen billion years ago.
The Big Bang was not an explosion in space, as the theory's name might suggest. Instead, it was the appearance of space everywhere in the universe, researchers have said. According to the Big Bang theory, the universe was born as a very hot, very dense, single point in space.
Let us suppose that rather than a single universe, three were created a this point. Each of these universes would have similar concepts of the Space-Time, but in different proportions. A multitude of variables can be grouped in to three broad categories, which are essential to the formation of any universe. These three categories are inflation, energy, and matter. Let’s call our universe the Prime Material Plane, and the other two the Ethereal Plane and the Astral Plane.
When the Prime Material Plane was very young — it underwent an incredible growth spurt. During this burst of expansion, which is known as inflation, the universe grew exponentially and doubled in size at least 90 times. After inflation, the universe continued to grow, but at a slower rate. A great deal of energy was expanded to fuel this inflation. Further, tightly compacted matter scattered across this vast space. As space expanded, the universe cooled. This cooling then converted more of the existing energy into matter.
Light chemical elements were created within the first three minutes of the universe's formation. For the first 380,000 years after the Big Bang, however, the intense heat from the universe's creation made it essentially too hot for light to shine. Atoms crashed together with enough force to break up into dense, opaque plasma of protons, neutrons, and electrons that scattered light like fog.
About 380,000 years after the Big Bang, matter cooled enough for electrons to combine with nuclei to form neutral atoms. This phase is known as "recombination”, and the absorption of free electrons caused the universe to become transparent.
During this time, clumps of gas collapsed enough to form the very first stars and galaxies. The emitted ultraviolet light from these energetic events cleared out and destroyed most of the surrounding neutral hydrogen gas. The process of re-ionization, plus the clearing of foggy hydrogen gas, caused the universe to become transparent to ultraviolet light for the first time.
Many scientists think that suns and solar systems were formed from a giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula. As gravity caused the nebulas to collapse, they spun faster and flattened into a disk. During this phase, most of the material was pulled toward the center to form stars. Even now, the universe continues to expand as new galaxies, stars, and solar systems are created.
Of course, modern scientific theory does not entertain the possibility of magical energy. But, if we are going to focus on the Fantasy based multi-verse, then magic energy will have to be part of the equation. I contend that magical energy is another form of energy different from gravity, radiation, and a multitude of others, but equally important. Further, magical energy would be lumped in with the energy category that is essential for universe creation. Thus, as the universe expands, magical energy is also scattered throughout creation, some in large concentrations, and some in minute quantities.
This concept is then expanded to include;
Ethereal Plane, Inner (elemental) planes, Astral Plane, and the Outer Planes. If you want to review these aspects they can be found here -> Fantasy Space-Time Theory (https://sites.google.com/site/pointsystemgaming/fantasy-time-space-theory)
The website also includes a few pictures that illustrate the temporal concepts.
Comments & suggestions are welcome, and criticism is needed, especially if you have a firm understanding of Space-time.
Thanks in advance;
