Space, time, energy, power, mass - and above all: light. We work with these terms in formulas and images that are already far too rigid and entrenched to do justice to the still very young age of the sciences. Has the Standard Model of cosmology passed its half-life? Cosmological diffusion provides clarity on a variety of topics that a Big Bang cannot explain and places Albert Einstein's theory of relativity in a context that makes his work seem all the more important. The "dark energy" predominant in the universe is of pre-cosmic origin and, due to Darwinian development, the basis of all energies and substances known to us - space and time also originate from it. It is therefore neither a resultant nor an additional factor since a "Big Bang". The universe is not a closed system, because the consequence would be that we would have to exist under laboratory conditions - an unfounded scientific assumption that also seems completely unnatural. Physical, chemical and biological processes impressively illustrate sets of rules that build on each other - which should have been preceded by at least one even more fundamental one. In this book, you will learn how this could have happened and how our known world could have developed from it.
