So in your consideration of the premise that the universe has always existed, and has always looked very much like it does now on a grand scale, you prefer to work with a start time at t=0, with no explanation for preconditions to the existence of the energy field, and no explanation for how the "first" particles could have formed. That seems incomplete, and in place of any preconditions you leave "something from nothing", and "God did it", on the table. Do you have a preference between those two explanations for the existence of the universe?
From that can I take the understanding that the energy field, without particles, has always existed, or is that also an "I don't know"?
You are speculating about many things, why not speculate about the things you don't know to fill in the "as yet" unknowns, and offer us a complete view of the cosmology, including speculations about the as yet unknowns?
I had very cautiously entered into this origin foray. It was meant to respond to your specific finite / infinite universe post. I will stick to gravity for time being lest the focus would shift.
