The big bang is a fiction contrived to fill our void of understanding.<p>Convention looks at state as the building block of the Universe.<p>We are beginning to recognize that "potential" is the building block and state is the manifest resolve through constructive and destructive interface.<p>Looking at the "emptiness of space" it is apparent there are quasi particles and non absolute zero thermal energy (potential).<p>Through trillions of years these quasi particles interactions give rise to stably bound particles (constructive interference). These are the building blocks of all existing objective reality.<p>Conservation of energy is maintained as constructive emergence in one locality corresponds to energy deficit in another (cooling of the cosmic back ground radiation.)<p>Binary has nothing to do with it. The Universe is analog.
