This is probably my most ambitious work:
How to explain the universe.
Step 1 is to get a sense of what Infinity might be thinking. Spending a long time thinking about infinity can be a dicey proposition.
There is not much margin between genius and insanity. While I am not in the genius category, I am not in a straitjacket either. (At least not yet.)
I cannot tell you what infinity is, but I can tell you what I think it isn't.
Infinity is not space. I believe the Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea was correct to assume there is an infinite distance between any 2 points (look up Zeno's paradox).
What he did not ponder was that God had to solve that problem before God could create the universe; otherwise, hydrogen atoms could never coalesce into clouds to form star nurseries, and sunlight could never reach the planets.
So God created the fabric of space with convergence, decay, relativity, and time woven into it.
Also, envision Infinity as one solid unit that is limitless. The Infinite is a sphere because it extends equally in all directions.
Visualize a sphere that is filled with a liquid, let us say water.
Can a drop of that liquid exist as a drop within that fluid?
The answer is yes and no.
Yes, we know it is potentially there, and no, it is not a separate entity.
It is simply part of that fluid.
Suppose then a bubble or vacuum is created within that liquid; then now there is a stage for that drop to be manifested as a finite entity, and a relationship can exist between the finite and the Infinite (which was not possible before).
That bubble is our cosmic space.
Where it ends, Infinity begins, and where Infinity begins, space ends.
Maybe that is why we sometimes feel so removed from God; he/she gives us a lot of space (and free will, too).
I suspect that if there is a heaven, it also requires the separation of the Infinite from the finite.
Otherwise, we could not continue to exist as individual entities after we die.
Maybe the heavenly bubble has convergence relativity but not time decay or matter.
Maybe it is cognition built on a different unit of finiteness.
I imagine that Infinity is a complex yet the simplest entity.
The Big Bang inflated the universe, the entry point of matter from infinity.
Maybe black holes are the exit points, recycling matter, time, and space back into infinity.
The difference in my mind between black holes and infinity is that a black hole extends infinitely in only one direction, inward.
They are gravitational singularities according to Einstein's definition.
Infinity, on the other hand, extends infinitely outward and infinitely inward.
That tension of 'dimensional opposites' exists in every instance of infinity.
I speculate that should matter ever venture out of its space cocoon and touch infinity, it would disintegrate into its infinite state (as it does when it enters a black hole).
The tension within Infinity exists in perfect balance.
Consider this possibility: what if the nature of our universe reflects this characteristic in the form of polarity (+,-) or strong force vs weak force, etc....
We know what we can do with "on and off" or (0s & 1s).
Just with these 2 elements, we can build switches, computer languages , etc.
If humans can create marvels with 2 elements, couldn't God do better?
Maybe God created the universe in 7 steps, not 7 days.
Maybe after 7 steps God found mankind precariously perched on a rock and decided "I am that I am" could work with this creature, and touched, not man's fingers as Michelangelo depicted, but his mind to give him understanding and communion.
The atoms did as they were destined: build star nurseries, create the elements, morph into molecules, create biology, and then life.
They could not have done anything else.
They are still at work doing all these things today.
