the big inflection point

so how big was the universe at the last inflection point?
This actually is a dumb question, but it begs the question, what is the right question?
So when the universe was one second into the latest decompression phase the myth is that it was very small, the whole universe the size of a marble.  What size marble?  I do not know go ask your mother.
This question has too many other problems to worry about marble size
For example, what was small?  Space was not necessarily considered small which is a pretty huge flaw in the argument given the mathematical proofs that space is the same as everything else and therein lies the truth or the kernal from which the truth of the latest big inflection point comes.
People still believe in the bible and lord knows there is historical precedent for believing that the bibble reflects an oral history of one region of the planet, moralized to both explain the unexplained and to give greater control over the believers and non indidels as later religions would mandate; and this is also true of the big bang myth.
The big bang is both true and false, albeit more false than true.
How can there be any truth to it?
Well, it just so happens that a large part  4 or 5 dimensional universe would look very small to a 3 dimensional person because of the dimensional folding math that says when you jump to a 16 and 26 scale base things look pretty damn small.  Did we have any 26 scale phenomena?  It is pretty likely,  because the alignment of black holes represents the first arms of such a scale and therefore the beginnings of the phenomena are present in our visible universe and were probably visible in the pre-aut phantasy and the AUT last great net inflection point.
At the point before the big inflection point, large amounts, a simple majority at least, of the universe was in compression mode, that is the definition of the inflection point.
This is why looking at the background radiation as proof of something that did not happen the pre aut way makes a lot of sense.  if you knew what you were looking at you would say, ahhhh the ct6 states began to break down.  A very dense sort of time that we cannot experience began to break up, the more compact parts of the universe began to expand. 
But what did it reallly look like?  I am a little unclear on how you would answer this question from our perspective, but it looked like what the universe looks like today, it looked like an atom, or a galaxy or the universe; just with higher dimensional fractal structure at its core, even though it was likely a transitional ct5-6 type fractal (think electron or proton instead of neutron) so it had arms which had arms which had arms and so on down to space which is a different fundamental fractal and probably made of fractal elements that we do not understand yet, but which we will using the aum model, perhaps, when we are gods and not the playthings of gods; that last phrase being an unreasonably hopeful goal, but we must have hope or there is no purpose to life, which, of course, there is not, but that is a different story.
The core radiation moving at the speed of light never reaches the edges of our universe and while I routinely use the observed universe as the total amount of information thereby limiting the length of fuses in the unvierse, there is no particular observational reason why the universe cannot extend to the fringes only to run into other ct5-6 universe elements which perhaps cycle around ct7, 8, or 88 cores.  Since we use time instead of change for a measure, this remains entirely possible, since it remains possible, even likely from a theoretical (probabilistic standpoint) standpoint that such a much older universe exists and we are only looking at our bubble.  If we measure change rates (as opposed to dimensional time rates) we can make this determination or at least a limited version of this determination relative to our universe.
This latter test is theoretically possible and much more interesting than the waste of money looking for decay modalities that do not exist and that logic tells us do not exist, because if they did we would see them, just as velocity which we see all around us is the break down of ct2 to ct1 which we would have realized a long time ago if we had only listened to ourselves and which we will eventually realize when everyone listens to me.  As if.
Anyway, expecting everyone to  buy me a beer, a shot or whatever they buy in denver; i should be totally wasted after my speech, dont forget to view it here, there is a link in the prior blog posts.
