There is no beginning or end of event time in theory. Infinity events
ago in event time maps about 12 billion years ago classical time. There
is no before the big bang in event time. I suppose in some abstract
sense one might speculate about space and time existing without matter
and energy or events, but then we are stuck with a very ugly
singularity, or a mini bang part of some larger big bang.....

Say we have a gazillion events in the last 6 billion years, there
would be another gazillion in the preceding 3 billion, another gazillion
in the 1.5 billion before that. Each time you go 1/2 way back, another
gazillion. Like Zeno, you can never get to the beginning.

It is an error is to presume
that matter and energy are conserved intrinsically and must have always
existed. Quantum Theory shows that energy conservation is emergent, not
fundamental. We perceive conservation because systems that lose
information (energy) are generally gone. But there is good evidence
that inflation occurs, organization increases and information, as
relative energy is manufactured logically not physically. Measurement
of the cosmic background microwave radiation has ruled out all the
proposed non-inflationary models.

Systems in general tend to go to equilibrium. The equilibrium them becomes a substrate for new organization. In a information ecology, there is a competition for substrate, like in [[EvolutionaryGameTheory]]. Self synergy of protons made matter rather than antimatter prevalent in the last epoch leading to present expansion of uniform space ([[ZPE]]).

To understand information (energy) synthesis, think of the Mandelbrot
set being generated by discrete computation. The system that generates
it is finite, but the output is infinite variety (finite at any point in
time). Fredkin proved that computation requires no energy in the limit.
Quantum communications has the properties of general purpose computing
which can propagate forever (or not) without consuming energy.

There is no limit to the information (energy) that might have existed,
or might exist in the future, it is only our window on the universe in
this epoch, which manifests a particular mass, apparently, of about
10^40 kg. The inflation occurring now, I expect, will be manifest in a
future epoch.

Indeed expansion and cooling is increasing, what is slowing down is all
the clocks, events are slowing down. The universe is getting colder and
slower. The universe has cooled from millions of degrees down to 3
degrees in just 12 billion years. In a hundred billion years, quantum
events will be happening on a large scale with magnetic monopoles
filling the role of electrons. In a billion billion years most free
energy will be gone and only one giant consondate will exists where the
speed of light is less that one mile an hour. But because time between
events has no meaning, denizens of these worlds will not feel cold or
slow, any more than we do in this epoch of existence.

We cannot know how many epochs have come and gone before us. We only
know that things were must hotter and faster a long time ago. We
cannot see back to the first event or know if there was one. As far as
we can tell, at any time there was always a gazillion events before that
in the potentially infinite events in the big bang.

Sounds like a singularity you say? No. Event time need have no
beginning. Our mapping of 12 billion years ago to minus infinity events
is a mathematical construct, not a feature of nature. Our notion of
time is arbitrary.

Aether as vacuum energy is consistent with big bang generated [[ZPE]].
QED predicts a vacuum energy of nearly 3000 MHz, which was confirmed by
Lamb in 1947 to 8 places. I would think it should be easy to calculate
the energy density based on that, but apparently not. I have said
before that there is controversy over the value of the vacuum energy
from zero to nearly infinity and most people besides myself don't
consider it to be ordinary energy from the big bang. Wheeler pegged it
at about 200 [[GeV]] about 30 years ago, Most estimates are between 175
and 200 [[GeV]]/cm^3. I've speculated the correct answer is between 186 and
188 from the sort of particle activity we see around this window. The
simplest, and I think most relevant way of estimating it is by
measuring it's permitivity and conductivity and the resulting speed of
light propagation. The Lamb shift and Casmir effect measurements are
more direct but are difficult. Most recently it has been associates
with the cosmological constant, dark matter and dark energy in dozens of
refereed articles and calculated from expansion rates of the universe.

A basic property of the "zero point" is that we don't see it, so I guess
it is not too surprising we cannot measure it confidently.

There are many good reasons to think it comes from the big bang:
1. where else?
2. we see a cooling expanding universe, suggesting extraordinarily high
energy existed in the past.
3. such energy is missing from the observed spectrum below the [[CMBR]].

There are those who suggest the big bang came from vacuum energy rather
than the other way around. That makes no sense. There was, in theory,
no space and time before the big bang. The [[ZPE]] is clearly a property of
space. It is electromagnetic energy, we should expect that it comes
from somewhere.

I have answered at length why we don't see it, it is the lowest which we
can only measure relative to, it's long signals overlap such that they
seem to cancel each other in the macrocosm, it is so uniform that is is
white, featureless noise. But is has a real effect on the quantum scale
recognized, at least in part, by quantum theory. I believe the [[ZPE]] is
the missing spectra of red shifted energy older than the [[CMBR]] goes from
the energy of the Planck action up to the cosmic microwave background
radiation, which though nearly uniform, have enough variation that we do
see it, however, as time progresses and the universe expands, more and
more of it becomes red shifted into the invisible [[ZPE]] range.

If the simple inverse relation we see in the measurable radiation energy
density from gamma rays through microwave continues into the [[ZPE]] as we
might expect, we can calculate the expected energy density easily,
infinity. But accounting for discrete events, it becomes finite as
single plank action waves are continually red shifted out of existence.

Physics seems to be at a turning point as more and more scientists are
attributing gravity and inertia to the electromagnetic [[ZPE]]. e.g.
http://www.calphysics.org/research.html as I have been saying that for
over 25 years. Assuming that is correct, it must have an effective
energy density close to that of ordinary matter in order that it
manifest the properties that we see. This is the root in my confidence
that measurements in that area are most likely correct.

If we sit around a table and blow at a balloon in the center with equal
force, we will hold the balloon at the center. The emerging solution for
why a body at rest tends to remain at rest is that it is being bombarded
by huge numbers of low energy waves from all directions which hold it
firmly in place. Whatever low frequencies ([[ZPE]] range) the body can
absorb are equal from all directions keeping the body in the same place.
If we apply extra energy to one side of the object it accelerates, but
at any velocity it sees the frequencies it is able to receive in the same
amounts from all directions. It is the same because the energy
red shifted out of its frequency absorption range is the same as that
blue shifted into its absorption range.

Nice explanation.

A comment:
A body at rest tends to stay at rest means/because:
A body at rest stays at rest, because it isn't absorbing any unbalanced forces. Until it does, at which point, it is at rest no more. Yes?

This sounds remarkably to me like: Everything being equal, everything stays equal.

Well I guess thats true. As you said, a body at rest stays at rest. Newtons 1st law, no? Well, in a proportionate, if everything is equal it will stay equal, unless acted upon by an outside force, in which it becomes an unbalenced force/unequal.
