My Journey to the "Grand Tautology"

In August of 2001, I realized that modern cosmology had gone amuck. I had always believed that the fundamentals of the Universe were profoundly simple, but the theories I saw were anything but.

So, I began a personal project. With my Excel spreadsheet, I set out to describe the Universe in the simplest terms possible.

My process was one of trial and error. I would make a series of assumptions, one by one. With each assumption, I calculated its value in the present Universe. Then, I wanted to see how that calculation would be affected if I "rewound the clock."

I reduced the Universe's radius by half, and then by half again—repeating this reduction for over 200 iterations until I reached Planck's radius. With each new assumption, I compared my calculated results to observed values.

I was stunned. Each time, I found a "very close agreement to observation."

Encouraged, I proceeded to describe another factor, followed its changes back to the Big Bang, and tested it against observations. Each time, this process produced results that I found to be "stunningly close to expectations."

Over the next few years, this process produced revelation after revelation. This process led to descriptions of the fundamental structure of the cosmos. All of the formulations locked together to produce one "grand tautology."

I can't explain how exciting this process had become. With each new insight, there was an "aha" moment. In the process, I determined the mechanism that the Universe uses to generate events and the rate at which they occur.

I determined that the Universe has experienced 10¹²¹ events in its history. But when I reduced the Universe's size by half for those 202+ iterations, I found the resulting calculation produced a number of exactly one.

The formulas had divined the first event of the Universe and labeled it as such. The excitement at this unexpected result was beyond any that I had ever known. I wasn't even looking for this number; I was just fooling around. But there it was: the Big Bang. The first event.

Through this trial and error process, I found that the Universe was simple on the grandest scale. Its physics were created by the expansion process, and its formulations were interlocking.

Unlike the many cosmological theories with their embedded adjustable parameters and unseeable structure, this theory has no flexibility. The formulations are either correct in their entirety or entirely wrong.

I invite you to judge for yourself.

To that end, I am making my complete calculations available as a free PDF download for all visitors to garylyonotto.net. Please, dive into the formulations and see the data for yourself.
