SYMMETRICAL-ASYMMETRICAL

Symmetry refers to the homogeneity of a system.
All the living beings and all their thermal states are asymmetric.
We say that a system is symmetric when each of its parts offers identical effects, characteristics and conditions that the rest of its parts, anywhere and every time that the system exist or produce its influences.
The transition from a state where the most minimum value in which the symmetric system resides on the point of zero toward a state of asymmetry with a value from almost zero to one -or close to one- is called “Symmetry Breaking". (Barrow; 2000) 1
The laws of Nature are symmetrical because they produce their effects in the same way, at every place and every moment in the Universe; however, the results of the symmetrical laws are asymmetrical systems (states and/or structures).
There is not a special place in the Universe in which the laws of Nature behave differently, that is to say, where the laws behave asymmetrically. Nature’s laws can operate generating a vast range of systems and states which are complicatedly asymmetrical.
Consequently, the Universe started out from a symmetric state, that is to say, in a minimum zero value. (Randall et al; 1996) 2. Time has never been symmetric because it always has been differently from zero.
In this Universe, time would always adopt a value distinct from zero. If we could go back in time, splitting it in a smaller part each time, we would always have a minimal fraction of time, but we would never reach an absolute zero. So, time has always existed in the Universe and before it started off. (Hivon & Kamionkowski; 2002) 3
The idea of a Universe started off from a series of bouncing Big-Bangs is mathematically possible, but unfeasible in Nature. It is not rare to find this kind of inconsistencies between the procedure created by the human mind and the real Nature. Our observations of the Universe indicate that the Universe began an indefinitely expansion once it started off from a bubble of false void.
That there could be a prior Universe, from which our Universe emerged, and another Universe earlier than the universe that brought about our Universe is only a hypothesis, but it has a bulk of evidence.
There are not symmetric structures or states in the real Universe. To exist, a state or a system must be asymmetric about the homogeneity of the Nature’s laws. (See figure)
The living beings are not systems stretched out from the field of action of those symmetrical laws. All states and structures in the Universe are subdued to the laws of Nature, even when they are asymmetrical systems.
Our Universe grew out from a black hole produced in a bigger and older Universe. The history goes close this way:
1. A black hole is an asymmetric astrophysical body that has a so great density that no thing can escape from it and that collapses itself.
2. When the temperature of the black hole increased at more than 10e34 K, the particles with mass (hadrons) comprised by the system were separated into elementary particles without mass (gluons, quarks and photons).
3. The particles formed together a symmetric gluon-quark-plasma into the horizon of the black hole and formed a bubble of false void that extended “out” from the mother Universe through a highly unstable wormhole.
4. The highly unstable wormhole disappeared after few microseconds of existence and the bubble of quark gluon plasma separated from the ancient Universe to form another asymmetric system.
5. The temperature of the quark-gluon plasma decreased and the quark-gluon plasma adopted an asymmetric liquid-like phase whose enormous inner pressures drove the whole system to an accelerated expansion.
6. Then the Big Bang occurred and a new asymmetric structure (our Universe) started to exist. The quarks and gluons gathered to form asymmetries that are those familiar particles with mass, like protons, neutrons, electrons, neutrinos, positrons, etc.
7. As the system expanded speedily, the temperature decreased and the formation of more asymmetric structures (galaxies) with billions of more asymmetric structures (stars) was possible.
8. The laws that generated those asymmetric structures remain symmetrical at present.
9. Perhaps many of the stellar systems in those galaxies were hospitable for living beings and, perhaps, many of the worlds forming part of those stellar systems held living beings.
10. At least, one planet in one stellar system has living beings, the Earth.
11. Many universes will be breed from our Universe; perhaps many young universes have already arisen from our Universe in the past. Who knows?
That “who knows?” refers to our inability to see or detect the universes that bend the horizon of our Universe, as well as our universe bent the horizon of the universe that engendered it, doing it unobservable from our place in the cosmos.
