Anyone interested in speculating on this?-
At a point in space, more energy than a Ia supernova,say 10<sup>75</sup> ergs, is released in a Planck time,10<sup>-43</sup> sec. What would happen? A hypernova with 25 orders of magnitude more energy than a supernova in a fraction of the time?
I thought about it(let me say I am not a physicist),and instead of an incredible explosion, I think nothing would happen.Why? I read that the energy density of inflating spacetime is 10<sup>96</sup> ergs/cc, so in the case of 10<sup>75</sup> ergs being released, an atom-sized "parcel" of space would pinch off into another dimension and commence inflation,therefore we would have no information about it.
Does this sound physical or am I mistaken? Any comments on this and/or what would really transpire would be appreciated.
