This post, http://www.sciforums.com/showpost.php?p=2311129&postcount=66, is incorporated in the Google.doc by reference to support one of the main features of QWC:
QWC is constructed on the very basis that the universe exists and did not come from nothing, therefore it has always existed.
That post discusses the presented link that supported my thinking that the universe has always existed. You might remember that link was one a many different opinions about the origin of the universe, but it is in line with my primary objective of having an internally consistent set of speculations that go beyond where the consensus of science has taken us so far.
The next step and actually the first step in the speculations of Quantum Wave Cosmology is the cause of the initial expansion of our observable universe.
Expansion is observable. The nature of our arena in space which is referred to by the standard cosmology as our “universe” is demoted to an arena that exists within a greater universe. That is a conclusion in QWC based on the idea that if the universe has always existed then space, time and energy too have always existed. Those are characteristics of the greater universe within which our arena exists and within which our observable universe got its initial expansion momentum. In QWC the greater universe is potentially infinite spatially and so our tiny arena consisting of a finite amount of energy is considered infinitesimal relative to that spatial infinity. That brings up the concept of the multiverse which simply means that in QWC there are considered to be a potentially infinite number of arenas similar to our own.
Step one of QWC is to select from the various multiverses that have been theorized and contemplated. That is why I give you the “multiverse” link in a recent post.
If you read that link you see that there are many choices that fit the multiverse concept but when you add the requirement that the arenas exist within the same greater universe that contains all space, then there only needs to be three dimensions of space to host the entire universe and all of its arenas. That eliminates the multi-dimensional cosmologies.
Out of all of the possibilities, we can also eliminate those that require a beginning of time since QWC includes the idea that the universe has always existed. The inflationary scenarios are fine as far as they go but if they don't say what caused the initial expansion they too are eliminated from consideration in QWC. So from my view, if a cosmology doesn't address the issue of its beginning it is not complete. As mentioned throughout the thread, that is the motivation for QWC, i.e. to have a physical picture of a complete and internally consistent cosmology.
Several models refer to ways that our arena might have come into existence and how expansion might have been initiated though none of the models in the link actually say that they are based on a universe that has always existed and that includes infinite space, time and energy.
Do you agree that there are no alternative cosmologies that come right out and say that? That is what QWC comes right out and says. So step one is to define the circumstances within such a universe that could give rise to our arena. That is what I have done. I refer to it as step one which appears in the Google.doc after the introductory section on “What is Quantum Wave Cosmology”.

QW said:And next let’s look at the Google search, “multiverse”, to see what we get: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=multiverse&aq=0&oq=multivers&aqi=g10
We get 1.5 million links and one that I have discussed before on another thread is a good one:
