The Big Bang was not a physical explosion of matter but a rapid decompression of pure digital information.
Mass and energy are actually secondary effects of a fundamental informational density that existed at the start of time. This model replaces the traditional fireball origin with a process similar to a computer file being unzipped. By treating the universe as a self-unpacking data set, this theory solves the horizon and flatness problems that have stumped cosmologists for decades. It implies that the fabric of reality is composed of bits rather than atoms. The expansion of space is simply the ongoing processing of the cosmic code.
The Decompression Cosmos: Information as Driver of Cosmic Expansion. A Synthesis of Gravitational Information Theory and Informational Inevitability
SSRN · 6645638
Cosmic expansion has always presented a puzzle: the Big Bang required enormous energy to drive explosive growth, yet we attribute this to mass-energy dynamics-and mass is precisely what resists rapid change. Something doesn't add up. We propose a resolution: information, not mass, drives cosmic expansion. Drawing on Vopson's (2025) demonstration that gravity emerges from information entropy reduction, and my framework of informational inevitability (Carboni, 2025), we argue that the initial sing
