The universe was born out of nothingness, but what is the nature of this nothingness? Understanding the answer to this question lies at the heart of many of the riddles being discovered by modern science and attempting to be defined by quantum theory. Since Dr. Alex Vilenikin, a Ukrainian Physicist, first presented the idea of the universe being born from nothingness, the struggle to define the nature of the nothingness that precluded the universe has remained enigmatic to quantum theorists. In general, quantum theory does not approve of the condition, or state of, nothingness. At the same time, however it is easily recognized that the converse assumption of a, “somethingess,” to have precluded the universe also leads to an endless loop of trying to define the nature of this “something,” and where it originates. In order to grasp the concept of the nothingness that precluded the universe, understanding the modern principles of the “vacuum” in which the universe resides is needed. Most people generally think that a vacuum is a vacant space, or a state of zero (or a machine to clean the floor). However, this assumption also contradicts the quantum theory that everything is indefinite, as we will see later. The quantum understanding of vacuum is not a condition of emptiness, but rather a state in which particles and antiparticles are constantly produced in pairs, then these pairs are instantaneously joined together as one, and then disappear. This is called, “pair annihilation.” When thought about in this way, it is proposed that the mysterious mechanics of the quantum field are actually reflections of fluctuations in the pair annihilation balance within vacuum. Lynne McTaggart has published a book on the subject of ‘vacuum’ and the ‘zero point field’ called, “The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe,” that is recommended for knowing more in depth about the physics of these particles and anti-particles.


At this point it is interesting to consider the creation myth of the Kojiki. The brother / sister Gods, Izanagi and Izanami, emerge to simultaneously break and create a stratum, but they are not able to arise as a substance. All of the Gods born after them are symmetry breaking Gods that do not arise in pair, but rather one after the next. When this story is applied to the modern understanding of the nature of vacuum, it mirrors this understanding in that when mass is introduced to the vacuum, the symmetry of the spontaneous field of pair annihilation is broken. In Kotodama Linguistics, the birth of the creation of the material universe is represented by the birth of the concept of the child sound as a derivative of mother and father sounds. From a Shinto understanding, the three creation Gods that existed at the beginning of time represents the spontaneous creation of particles and anti-particles as they unite as one and disappear into nothingness, as seen in pair annihilation. The symmetry of the vacuum is broken by the appearance of polarity represented by the last generation of perfect Gods Izanaminokami and Izanaginokami. After that the derivative Gods, correlating to the child sound concept from a linguistic point of view, are energetically represented by things of this world like rocks, rivers, moisture cycles, etc… From this perspective, the cycle of the energy represented by the Gods that arise from that point on to be more direct allegory for a metaphysical understanding of reality.
