The Big Bang Explosion as An Icequake: A Novel Model for The Origin of The Universe Within A Rotating Tectonic Iceball

Abstract: : While the Big Bang theory remains foundational to cosmology, critical questions persist regarding the initial singularity and pre-Bang conditions. We propose a novel high-energy cosmological mechanism for the origin of the observable universe, modeled as a catastrophic icequake within the crust of a rotating tectonic iceball of cosmological scale, termed Feluc, embedded in a vast, cold medium we refer to as the Old-Water. In this framework, mechanical stress accumulation and sudden fracture in Feluc’s crystalline outer shell release a burst of energy sufficient to initiate sublimation, dissociation, and ionization of H₂O ice, giving rise to a rapidly expanding, rotating plasma cloud: the nascent B-universe. The model preserves energy conservation by linking cosmic expansion to ongoing progressive sublimation of the Last Scattering Surface (LSS), the spherical icy boundary of Feluc's cavity preserving the B-universe. The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is recast as thermal radiation emitted from the LSS. Observed temperature anisotropies in the CMB are interpreted as projections of density variations within Feluc’s crust, offering a physically grounded mechanism for primordial fluctuations. By bridging glaciology, thermodynamics, and high-energy astrophysics, the model generates testable predictions that both challenge conventional cosmological theories and provide innovative solutions to persistent cosmological problems, while establishing new observational constraints for probing the universe's formation through verifiable physical mechanisms rather than abstract mathematical singularities. The unification of planetary-scale physics with high-energy astrophysical phenomena creates a robust, observationally constrained alternative to traditional creation paradigms.
