Before becoming a god, one had to open up the heavens and earth.
Mo Qiong held the Pangu Axe and inexplicably sensed an immense, boundless nothingness.
It was emptier than a vacuum. Within this nothingness, not even spacetime existed. It simply existed.
Spacetime could still twist and compress, but the void could not. There was no movement there, and no matter could propagate through it—apart from singularities.
A singularity had no discernible form. It was the starting point of spacetime, and also its end.
It contained countless possibilities for the evolution of a universe. When Mo Qiong focused his attention on a particular singularity, it suddenly blossomed.
It was as if it had originally been a cloud of probability, a function. Mo Qiong's observation forced it to take a definite value, causing the function to collapse.
When the universe was first born, the laws of nature were chaotic. Or rather, many of the laws summarized by the cosmic models established during the later stable period of the universe did not work during this period, making them seem like complete nonsense.
It could not be said that modern physics was entirely wrong. It could only be said that the laws themselves were not immutable.
Leaving aside everything else, just a change in the curvature of the universe's spacetime would make the physics of the entire universe different.
The laws of nature in the early universe were unstable, like an unsolvable Three-body Problem. Establishing a model of the universe at the moment of its birth was also an unsolvable problem.
Humanity had no physical system capable of describing it. All descriptions were merely deductions based on the state of the universe more than ten billion years later.
But such deductions were as incomplete as the Galilean Velocity Addition Theorem. Far too many
