Abstract

We consider a contracting universe and its transition to expansion through the big bang singularity with a time varying equation of state ww, where ww approaches 11 as the universe contracts to the big bang. We show that this singularity is non-regularizable. That is, there is no unique extension of the physical quantities after the transition, but rather infinitely many. This is entirely different from the case of w>1w > 1 studied in \cite{Xue:2014}, where ww approaches a constant value wc>1w_c > 1 as the universe contracts. In that case a continuous transition through the big bang to yield a unique extension was possible only for a discrete set of wcw_c satisfying coprime conditions. We also show that there exists another time variable, NN, at the big bang singularity itself, at t=0t=0, where ww, varies as a function of NN. This defines an {\em extended big bang state}. Within it, HH is infinity. In the extended state, ww varies from a universe dominated by the cosmological constant to 11. After ww reaches 11 then the big bang occurs and time t>0t >0 resumes. This gives a dynamical mechanism for the big bang that is mathematically complete as a function of NN. Dynamical systems methods are used with classical modeling.
