In Chapter Nine, we explained why galaxies fly apart according to Kapp. We said they don't travel through space; space appears between them. Flat space (which we thought was nothing) and tightly curved anti-space (which we knew as something) split into two parts of actuality. Suddenly, we had more space (distance) out there than we had before, causing antigravity. Eventually, pieces of something bunch up somewhere. Then more space disappears than appears creating the net effect of gravity. These two forces, antigravity and gravity, work like a big pump keeping the universe in existence forever.
We went from nothing to nits. We'll put two stages between nothing and matter. The second stage is from nits to matter. Millions of stages were probably necessary to get to matter, but using two will at least remind you of the gradualness of universal evolution. We saw the same step-by-step pattern when we covered the evolution of living things.
When a couple of nits appear trillions of miles apart, they create the simplest form of energy: distance. Then falling is the most natural thing for a nit to do once a steady source of gravity develops somewhere. With gravity, distance equals potential energy, and there can be a lot of distance in a universe like ours. In fact, we're full of it. (No comment, please.)
Because these random appearances occur all the time, the universe as a whole has no real beginning. We can talk only about a local beginning. Oops, did you see that new piece of something right over there?
