senior.  Seconds after the "Big Bang", there was only false vacuum. It
has several unique properitys unique only "it".  First, it isn't matter
(as we precieve).  It has no mass or volume, it either "is" or "isn't".
So, when there was only false vacuum, it was every where, and in
infinite abundence.  Second, (this is where I get lost, I think)it has a
half life of sorts, so after a while, it is half gone, but half gone all
at once.  What's left is the elementry particles that we know and love,
and the other half goes and spawns more universei (plural).

What do you think it would be like to be magically altered to exist
within this medium?

Well, um, er ah, i think things have gotten a little of the topic's
purpose.  That's my fault.  Let me try and put things right.

If (very powerful, artifact-level) magic could control it, you could do
just about anything with it.  After all it is the primoridal matter for
everything.  But being immersed in it, or crusin' through with squidship
may generate problems.  The closest thing that i can think of that be
"like" it is how the plane of limbo is cescribed in the planes of choas
boxed set, OR it could be similar to the plane of positive energy.
As far as it being another plane, i doubt it.  a new crystal sphere,
with nothing but false vacuum, would be closer to the mark and it could
pose a interesting adventure.
