A Conceptual Synthesis of Physics, Metaphysics, and Biblical Narrative
This document presents a highly speculative conceptual synthesis of physics, metaphysics, and biblical narrative. It is not a testable scientific theory but an exploratory framework intended to provoke thoughtful discussion and critique.

1. Introduction
This framework proposes that the foundational element of physical reality is not matter, energy, or spacetime, but a universal wave disturbance—a primordial harmonic introduced at the beginning of the cosmos. The Genesis creation account and modern physics both begin with light and form arising from void. This model takes that convergence seriously as a potential metaphysical blueprint.
2. Genesis and the Metaphor of Light
Genesis begins with darkness and void. Then, ‘Let there be light’ initiates all subsequent creation. This light may be interpreted as the first wave—an oscillatory disturbance that seeds order. In this view, ‘light’ is not limited to photons but represents the coherent propagation of form and energy from a singular source.
3. Defining the Primordial Wave
We define the primordial wave as a scalar field, Φ(x,t), that emerges from the void. It is governed by a modified wave equation, potentially nonlinear, and generates a global harmonic structure that underlies all physical phenomena.
4. Mathematical Structure of the Primordial Wave
The field may be described as:
Φ(x,t) = A sin(kx – ωt + φ)
Where A is amplitude, k is wave number, ω is angular frequency, and φ is phase. The nonlinear extension:
∂²Φ/∂t² – c²∂²Φ/∂x² + λΦ³ = 0
allows for self-confined structures, such as solitons or breathers, that could be interpreted as particles.
5. Wave-Node Interaction and Mass Emergence
Mass may emerge at points where two or more wave zero nodes intersect. At these points, energy becomes confined due to constructive and destructive interference.
6. Hydogen Atom Genesis from Photon Interference
Consider two photon wave functions:
ψ_A(x, t) = A · sin(kx – ωt + φ_A)
ψ_B(x, t) = A · sin(kx + ωt + φ_B)
Node condition: ψ_A(x₀,t₀) = 0 and ψ_B(x₀,t₀) = 0
Emergent energy:
E = ∫ [ δ(ψ_A)·δ(ψ_B)·((m_p + m_e)c² + h(f_A + f_B)) ] dx
Creation operator:
Ĉ_H(x,t) = 1 if all conditions are met
Hydrogen atom energy:
E_H = Ĉ_H(x₀,t₀)·[(m_p + m_e)c² − 13.6 eV]
7. Implications for Quantum Field Theory
This model invites reinterpretation of quantum fields as resonant modes of the primordial wave. Virtual particle creation might be understood as momentary interference nodes. Non-locality could arise naturally from global harmonic correlations.
8. Relativistic and Gravitational Considerations
Localized energy nodes curve spacetime, aligning with Einstein’s equations. A frequency-dependent effective mass for photons might also link gravity and electromagnetism.
9. Cosmological Consequences and Structure Formation
The primordial wave might seed early universe structure, influencing galaxy formation, CMB patterns, or even dark matter as standing wave energy not resolved into particles.
10. Theological and Philosophical Reflections
The concept of a foundational wave aligns with many metaphysical traditions—Logos, AUM, Tao. The Bible’s ‘Let there be light’ may represent a metaphysical principle where reality begins as ordered vibration.
11. Simulations and Visualization Concepts
Future work could include:
– Simulations of wave-node intersection
– Animation of hydrogen formation
– Modeling global harmonic fields
– Visualization of resonance as particle behavior
12. Conclusion and Forward Outlook
This speculative framework reimagines physical reality as arising from a universal harmonic event—the primordial wave. Particles are standing waveforms. Mass is node-based confinement. Hydrogen emerges from interference. Reality is harmony made visible.
