I myself have wondered why all the matter in the universe occupied a much smaller volume in the past. Then I considered the universe from the perspective of wave mechanics. Can any of these points be rebutted?...

- All matter in the universe consists only of electromagnetic waves. How can mere waves interact to produce all the phenomenon we observe?

- Photons have zero net charge, but must consist of equal parts of positive and negative charge, and like a magnet these charges must orient themselves to attract other matter, causing the path of the photon to bend around massive objects. Gravity may simply be an electrostatic effect.

- Special types of interference fringes of waves travel at less than lightspeed. These are perceived as particles. The photon is a bare wave. A particle is an impeded wave, a fringe, a subset of the pattern created by interfering photons with higher energy. This interference pattern can be seen in the double-slit experiment using low-energy photons. Somehow these interference fringes become uncoupled when generated by higher energy photons, and particles can split off in any direction that satisfies conservation of momentum law.

- When a high energy photon collides with other matter, an interference pattern emerges, perceived as a particle shower consisting of both positive and negatively charged ions, moving at less than the speed of light.

- That's what the Big Bang may have been: a particle shower. The ions generated immediately expanded to fill the volume allowed by the Schwarzschild radius. That's why all the matter in the universe appeared to occupy such a small volume in the past, but by now has probably expanded to fill a volume upwards of 170 billion lightyears in diameter.

- Prior to the Big Bang there was no matter. There were perhaps only a couple of high energy photons zipping around each other. Something changed, and they collided, or interfered, resulting in a gigantic particle shower.

- So the nature of the universe changes from time to time. Now it appears that black holes will dominate regional phenomenon throughout the universe, growing, flashing-over, recycling complex forms of matter back into primorial hydrogen and helium. This process would seem to be extrapolated into the infinite future, if only it weren't for evidence that things have a beginning and an end, or at least a profound sense of punctuated equilibrium.

- A photon travels in a circle around a black hole event horizon. A model for how mere wave mechanics alone can produce this result is needed.

Any ideas on this?
