After several years of thinking about how the universe evolved, I would like to offer my own theoretical approach.   There are a lot of questions that have baffled the scientific and philosophical world for centuries, and I hope that some answers can be found in the new ideas presented here in my Cataclysmic Collision Theory.

It is hard to believe that a mass so gigantic in density and gravitational force (where it is difficult even for radiation to escape), can reach such a critical point as to cause self-destruction.  We are led to believe this from the Big Bang Singularity.  No one can visualize the mechanism for such an event to occur, nor can one calculate why a phenomenon of this nature could take place.  It is not logical to believe that a body can achieve a critical mass, and with its massive density and gravitational force, can explode. Furthermore, it explodes with just the right force so that it is not completely dispersed, nor is the force insufficient allowing it to condense into its original form.

I believe there is a different answer as to how our universe and countless others have come into existence.  In space there are many entities which we call Black Holes.  I prefer to call them enermatias  - a word I formed by the contraction of energy and matter.  Many of the enermatias may be located at the center of galaxies where eventually all, or most, of the orbiting bodies will condense.  In addition, there is nothing to prevent many enermatias from consuming more than one galaxy or other celestial bodies.  In our universe alone the number of galaxies could be 750 billion and each one a potential massive enermatia.  While astronomers have identified very few in our universe, I think there are many more that will be discovered in time.  Where the cosmos is infinite so would the number of galaxies and enermatias.

These enermatias travel at various velocities relative to each other, and the probability of two or more of them colliding would be hard to conceive.  Yet with their massive gravitational fields, and where time has no meaning, collisions do occur.  In fact, we were privileged to have witnessed such a collision.  On May 7, 1998, approximately two years after my first version of Weber’s Cataclysmic Collision Theory was sent out into the scientific world, the Associated Press reported:  “Gamma Ray Burst Called Most Powerful Ever Seen.”  According to the article, this event was observed by an Italian team on December 14, 1997 with the Beppo-Sax orbiting observatory.
