This book is not your run of the mill recap of the Big Bang Theory (BBT), but a new and thought-provoking venture into an entirely different early universe. In this new vision everything we know to exist in the universe naturally evolves from the condensed energy that started our universe, and does so without positing into existence any new fields, forces, dimensions, or anything else that is not already known to science. This new vision only required a tweaking of the Big Bang Theory. Instead of winding the clock back to a singularity, the author stopped at a point just short of the singularity and allowed the speck of condensed energy to simply expand from there. Amazing things happened. Supermassive blackholes (SMBHs) spun into existence, then particles spun into existence, and then dark energy naturally permeated our universe becoming our intergalactic medium, all together forming the large-scale structure of our universe we call the cosmic web. The author then discovered that the creation of SMBHs, particles, and dark energy represent the foundation to our entire universe, and that everything else, including fields, forces, and complex matter, emanates from relationships between those three entities. This is the story of those relationships. It retains all the observational evidence supporting the BBT, covering the period up until the creation of atoms and the CMB, at which point our current vision of the universe takes over. The work is supported by numerous citations, quotes, and observations from many leading physicists, cosmologists, and mathematicians. Sound reasoning and observational evidence makes this new vision one that invites confirmation or rejection on multiple levels. It will surely stimulate discussion, theoretical assault, and experimental analysis for years to come. It is a momentous journey through 380,000 years of evolution that has never before been so thoroughly analyzed or so vividly recounted.

Destiny Theory marks the first chapter of An Evolution of Thought. It is the earliest published record of the author Jasper Littlewood-Brennan's thoughts about reality, and as such, it can act as a starting point from which the evolution, adaption, and changes to his ideas can be observed. Destiny Theory introduced some of Jasper's early thoughts on determinism and on time being comprised of discrete moments. It posited that specific deterministic laws are responsible for determining a future moment based on a past moment. Destiny Theory is not a game changer for philosophy. Some of the claims of Destiny Theory, such as the existence of scientific evidence for destiny, are unsubstantiated. Some ideas presented in this text, which may have been suggested as new, were pre-existing concepts, unbeknownst to the author at the time. Destiny Theory is a glimpse of some of Jasper's early philosophical thoughts, which may provide insight into the origins of future developments in more recent publications in the series. It is for this reason that Destiny Theory has an important place as Chapter I in An Evolution of Thought.
