Could a High-Energy Particle Collision Create Its Own Spacetime and an "Internal Universe"?

This work explores the speculative possibility that an extremely energetic quantum event could, under certain conditions, lead to the formation of a new causally disconnected region of spacetime. Such a region could potentially possess its own spacetime geometry and its own cosmological evolution. As a concrete thought experiment, the analysis considers a proton collision with a total center-of-mass energy of approximately 14 TeV, corresponding to the maximum center-of-mass energy of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The work first converts this energy into its equivalent invariant mass and then calculates the corresponding Schwarzschild radius, a hypothetical energy density, and a characteristic cosmological timescale obtained from the Friedmann equation. The possibility of inflation is then examined, together with the hypothetical causal separation of a new region and the idea that the total energy of a universe might, in some global sense, be approximately zero due to a compensation between positive matter-field energy and negative gravitational binding energy. The calculations themselves do not demonstrate that such a process can occur in nature. The main difficulty of the hypothesis is not simply the amount of available energy, but the unknown mechanism through which a quantum event could generate a new spacetime geometry or a topologically separated region. The purpose of this work is therefore not to claim that the LHC creates universes, but to investigate what a future theory of quantum gravity would have to allow in order for such a scenario to be physically consistent.

Abstract

This work explores the speculative possibility that an extremely energetic quantum event could, under certain conditions, lead to the formation of a new causally disconnected region of spacetime. Such a region could potentially possess its own spacetime geometry and its own cosmological evolution. As a concrete thought experiment, the analysis considers a proton collision with a total center-of-mass energy of approximately 14 TeV, corresponding to the maximum center-of-mass energy of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The work first converts this energy into its equivalent invariant mass and then calculates the corresponding Schwarzschild radius, a hypothetical energy density, and a characteristic cosmological timescale obtained from the Friedmann equation. The possibility of inflation is then examined, together with the hypothetical causal separation of a new region and the idea that the total energy of a universe might, in some global sense, be approximately zero due to a compensation between positive matter-field energy and negative gravitational binding energy. The calculations themselves do not demonstrate that such a process can occur in nature. The main difficulty of the hypothesis is not simply the amount of available energy, but the unknown mechanism through which a quantum event could generate a new spacetime geometry or a topologically separated region. The purpose of this work is therefore not to claim that the LHC creates universes, but to investigate what a future theory of quantum gravity would have to allow in order for such a scenario to be physically consistent.
