Rapid expansion? Or, Big Bang?

No difference, really.

Interpretations of what occurred at "the beginning" of "this" universe, could lead to different interpretations of the same thing.

For the origin of the universe, all that would be needed is one single particle, and the manipulation of time. The singular particle could be the one thing that, with the passage of time, creates all matter as we "perceive" it.

A particle that can travel in time, forward and backwards, would, by "design", create more it's "instances" in any particular point in time, thereby creating a larger "universe" of "copies" of the same particle. That "creation" particle would need to possess a lot of different properties in order for the universe as we see, or perceive it, to exist.

So, at the beginning, all that would be needed is the "one" particle to be "placed" at a number of uncountable positions, with time stopped, and voila!, instant expansion. If time is a manipulative property of the universe, then the creation of the universe as we know it, is a "no-brainer" for something or "someone" that knew how to do it. If time has the property of moving forward and backwards, then why not also the capability of being stopped? If time can be stopped, then introducing a "creation" particle into that instance where time was stopped, would make it possible to create a universe of innumerable instances of that single particle. That would be the "instantaneous" expansion that cosmologists "see", but can't seem to explain.

Now, imagine that, if the universe is composed of the one single "creation" particle, with the assistance of time manipulation, then, that would mean that we are all carrying the "same" particle in every bit of what our bodies are composed of, not to mention the rest of the universe.

That's my theory and I'm sticking with it.

If time can be stopped, then introducing a "creation" particle into that instance where time was stopped,

Relativity, and standard Big Bang Theory, indicates that time did not "stop" at the moment of Creation, it did not exist "before" that.

Energy, matter and time are not separate things, they are intimately entwined.

Standard Christian theology is similar, with God creating Time when he created the Universe. He Himself is outside Time.
