“The Universe did not begin with a Big Bang; it began with a flicker.” This is the first sentence of this book, and Israelsson and Vinterheden give a satisfying and reasonable answer to the ancient question of how everything came to be. The authors explore how particles and antiparticles are created in a cosmic vacuum. This is done with entirely new theories about the elementary particles and how they are created from nothing – the foundation for the origin of the Universe from the void. The authors introduce a new elementary particle – the priton – that constitute the smallest building block for all other particles. This new particle logically explains the construction of the Universe and its development in the Cosmos. The book also go into how dark matter and black holes were created, developed and still develop, as well as their functions for the survival of the galaxies.
