I'm a retired accountant, who has developed an interest in physics and cosmology. It is good to see that you have some interest, because with your background, I will also have some questions for you to help me get some things right.

I’m not a cosmologist – my field is chemistry/physics, specifically spectroscopy, so I would like to understand your model a little better then pose some questions. I read your posts on the SciForum which really gave me a better insight into the model. YouTube is great, but to understand something in depth, the written word is still the best!
My understanding of your model is:
1. That the universe is actually one entity, comprised of multiple “arenas”.
2. The universe that we perceive is actually one of these arenas.
3. The arenas interface with each other as a consequence of the natural laws of classical physics and quantum mechanics (as we understand it now).
Collide is a popular media way to phrase it, but I like to say that the arenas and their galactic contents which have separation momentum, expand into each other's space.
4. Each arena experiences its own “big bang” resulting in a unique arena.
5. Over time and given the natural laws of physics, these arenas collide, condensing their matter at the overlap.
I don't use the term condensation, but for a starting understanding it will suffice; I say the galactic material from the parent arenas converges in the overlap space, and at that point gravity gains the upper hand over separation momentum.
6. As they form this new condensation ...
When we begin to get into the details, there are a few things I will mention that you can begin to think about:
... area, energy is preserved, entropy is decreased and eventually, a new arena is formed. In other words, entropy goes through a redundant, recycling process which would allow for energy condensation, expansion, dissipation and then restructuring.
Terminology again, but minor; the greater universe is an arena landscape where arena action plays out. The greater universe "hosts" the arena landscape .
7. This process occurs randomly throughout the larger universe which engulfs ...
Yes, you have it essentially correct.
... these arenas. The larger universe is infinite and its timeline has no beginning and no end.
Let me know if I have it essentially right.
I actually have been conducting a thread there as well, called, The Infinite Spongey Universe Cosmology. Come on over anytime.
If my understanding is fairly correct, then I have some questions, particularly regarding entropy and energy “leak”. Any corrections to my understanding would be welcomed. Thanks.
BTW, I do think you should post your video in Science and Technology too because there's a lot of nerds over there who will take an interest and respond perhaps with different takes on your model. Just a thought....

Thanks ... I’ll take each topic individually ...
Your description of the energy density equalization prompted me to think of the Bose-Einstein Condensation. ... it struck me as being very similar to the particle density you are referring to on the macro level. photonicssociety.org...
But I’m wondering why you place it in the macro level instead of the micro level?
I understand the statement. There is an event that initiates the emergence of a new quantum wave, at both levels. At the macro level, a crunch gathers galactic material from the two or more parent arenas as a result of the gravitationally induced accretion into the crunch. The question is, what keeps the entire greater universe from falling into the crunch to fulfill the prediction of General Relativity in a universe with the GR referenced closed shape. The answer is that each crunch reaches "critical capacity" and becomes a quantum of energy, a specific increment that triggers the collapse of the crunch under the force of gravity.
In your chart you show a minimum and maximum energy graph which has the high density state at the origin. The high density point would require a trigger for it to expand – in other words, some instability that would cause it to explode.
In the BEC experiment, one of the phenomena observed was: “An analysis of the time-of-flight images revealed that the condensate released from the trap does not just spread out with the velocity predicted by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation. This would only happen for a non-interacting ideal gas. In contrast, we observed condensates which virtually exploded due to repulsive interaction between the atoms.” It struck me as being similar to your model of the high density point. What do you think? If that’s the case, you have a built-in setup to begin some calculations as to how the model would perform going forward.
Yes.
On the overall structure of the model, you talk about the “landscape” upon which the arenas develop and evolve. Is this landscape supposed to be infinite?
Yes, I see what you are asking.
Why isn’t it a universe in and of itself that encompasses the arenas? The reason I ask this question goes to the issue of energy and the initial amount of energy that you have to work with. If you go a step further and develop algorithms to calculate and derive predictions for your model you need some initial values to work with. It's the amount of energy in the system that will determine the number of arenas. If you consider everything in the landscape as containing only energy initially - no condensed matter, no arenas, etc - the amount of energy is going to determine the final state. This might be an over simplification, but I think it's important to start from first principles.
The energy is infinite, and has always been in the form of gravitational wave energy that fills all space. Since space is infinite, energy is necessarily infinite as well, in my model.
So – if the landscape is infinite, the energy can be either infinite or finite.
Let me so declare, the landscape is infinite, the medium of space that carries the wave energy is infinite, and the wave energy has always existed, there was no first big wave .
If the landscape is finite, then the amount of energy can only be finite. It seems to me that in order to work with the model, you would either have to declare the landscape as infinite or finite, or develop two models – one for infinite (totally open system) and one for finite (one for a closed, or adiabatic, system). I think this would be critical when you want to design experiments to test any aspect of the model.
I see I reached the ATS word limit, but I said enough for now
I see it as laying the foundation.
Thanks for showing some interest. As you can imagine, it is rare when it comes to my hypothesizing. Any continuation of the discussion would be welcome. Any other members, creationists or otherwise, are welcome to engage in the discussion.

Very true. I still like to think there is one reality, but the individual's perception of reality is certainly not the real one. It helps to be reminded of that once in awhile.
