The Repulsive Cyclic Multiverse (RCM) model, proposed by Antonio Carlos Pinto, is a speculative theoretical framework in cosmology that seeks to offer a reinterpretation of the origin, evolution, and transition of universes, based on the coexistence of attractive gravity and a radiant form of repulsive gravity.
This proposal challenges the standard cosmological view (such as the absolute Big Bang) by postulating that universes are cyclical, dynamic, and multidimensional expressions of a complex gravitational mechanism.
Central Principles of the RCM
The RCM is not seen merely as an adjustment to existing theories, but as a paradigm shift, introducing key concepts:
Gravitational Coexistence:
The model proposes that the forces governing the cosmos include not only traditional attractive gravity, but also a radiant repulsive gravity. This repulsive force is elevated to the status of an "ontogenetic engine of the cosmos," crucial for accelerating the expansion of the universe and for the creation of new universes.
Primordial Repulsive Explosion (PRE):
Instead of the Big Bang as the absolute starting point (the birth of the universe from nothing or from a quantum vacuum), the RCM proposes the PRE as the generating act. The PRE would be the result of the collapse of a predecessor universe, whose inverted gravitational energy is repulsively ejected, giving rise to a Daughter Universe (ours, for example).
Cosmic Superwhite Hole:
This is the physical and conceptual "cornerstone" that replaces the role of the Big Bang as the origin. The Cosmic Superwhite Hole is conceived as the interdimensional generating matrix that articulates the transition and gestation of the new cosmos, establishing an eternal and cyclical flow of succeeding universes.
Cyclical and Multidimensional Vision
The RCM supports a cyclical vision in which universes go through phases of creation and destruction:
- Collapse: A predecessor universe reaches a point of collapse.
- Repulsive Transition (RVT): The collapse does not lead to silent extinction, but rather to a "cosmic overflow" in which inverted energy is repulsively ejected through the Cosmic Superwhite Hole.
- Generation: This ejected energy gives rise to a new Daughter Universe.
In essence, the model proposes that our universe was not born ex nihilo (from nothing), but was ejected from a supra-universal-scale event, in a continuous cycle of collapse and creation.
Implications and Structure
The work of Antonio Carlos Pinto (published in books such as The Repulsive Cyclic Multiverse Model (RCM)) addresses several topics in modern cosmology, integrating:
- Classical Foundations: From the laws of Newton and Einstein.
- Recent Debates: Dark matter, dark energy, white holes, and multiverse theory.
- Inverse Gravity: The formulation of this concept is the central and culminating principle of this alternative cosmology.
The RCM presents itself as an invitation to new avenues of thought, where science and metaphysics engage in dialogue in the search for an explanation for cosmic vastness. It is important to note that, as a recent speculative theoretical proposal, it lies outside the dominant cosmological consensus, but offers a conceptual framework that challenges the current limits of physics.
