1. Introduction

In Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), Negative Apparent Mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) arises as a fundamental concept explaining the displacement of kinetic energy from matter mass (Mᴍ). This concept has a strong physical analogy with Archimedes' principle, which describes the buoyant force on a submerged object due to the displacement of fluid.  

By drawing a parallel between displaced fluid mass and displaced kinetic energy, we can provide a clear and intuitive understanding of how Negative Apparent Mass functions within ECM.  

2. Archimedes' Principle: The Classical Explanation

Archimedes' principle states that:  

An object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force (buoyant force) equal in magnitude to the weight of the displaced fluid.

Mathematically, this is expressed as:  

Fb = ρ_fluid V g

where:  

- Fb is the buoyant force,  
- ρ_fluid is the density of the displaced fluid,  
- V is the volume of displaced fluid,  
- g is gravitational acceleration.  

The key insight here is apparent weight loss:  

- The submerged object appears to weigh less because the displaced fluid exerts an upward force.  
- This means that the object's apparent mass in the fluid is less than its actual mass in free space.  

3. The ECM Interpretation: Negative Apparent Mass as Displaced Energy

In ECM, an analogous effect occurs when potential energy (PE) from a matter mass (Mᴍ) is displaced as kinetic energy (KE).  

The ECM force equation is:  

F_ECM = (Mᴍ - Mᵃᵖᵖ) a_eff

Here, Mᵃᵖᵖ represents the apparent mass loss, analogous to how an object in a fluid experiences apparent weight loss due to buoyancy.  

Energy-wise, this displacement is expressed as:  

E_total = (PE of Mᴍ - ∆PE of Mᴍ) + ∆PE of Mᴍ = PE + KE

where:  

- (-∆PE) is the displaced energy-mass from (Mᴍ),  
- The displaced portion manifests as Negative Apparent Mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ),  
- This apparent mass behaves oppositely to normal matter, just as a buoyant force acts opposite to gravitational weight.  

Thus, Negative Apparent Mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) in ECM plays the same role as displaced fluid in Archimedes' principle:  

- Just as a fluid's buoyant force counteracts weight, -Mᵃᵖᵖ counteracts the effects of Mᴍ in gravitational dynamics.  
- Just as an object's apparent mass decreases in a fluid, the total effective mass in ECM is reduced by -Mᵃᵖᵖ.  

4. Direct Mathematical Analogy

Comparing the two principles:  

| Archimedes' Principle | ECM (Negative Apparent Mass)|

|--------------------------|--------------------------------|

| Buoyant Force: Fb = ρ_fluid V g | ECM Force: F_ECM = (Mᴍ - Mᵃᵖᵖ) a_eff | 

| Displaced Fluid Mass: ρ_fluid V | Apparent Mass: | -Mᵃᵖᵖ | |

| Apparent Weight Loss | Apparent Mass Reduction |

| Upward force opposes gravity | Negative Apparent Mass opposes gravitational pull |

Thus, ECM generalizes buoyant effects into gravitational dynamics, where Negative Apparent Mass functions as a displaced entity, influencing motion and interaction in a similar way.

5. Physical and Cosmological Implications 

- Motion and Acceleration: Just as a buoyant object rises in a fluid due to displaced mass, a system influenced by -Mᵃᵖᵖ experiences motion that counters normal gravitational expectations.  
- Dark Matter & Dark Energy Analogy: -Mᵃᵖᵖ, arising from displaced energy, provides a better physical explanation than Einstein’s cosmological constant (∆) for cosmic expansion and large-scale gravitational effects.  
- Cosmological Expansion: Instead of requiring a repulsive force, ECM shows that the displacement mechanism of -Mᵃᵖᵖ naturally leads to accelerated expansion.  

6. Conclusion

The analogy between Archimedes' principle and Negative Apparent Mass provides a deep physical insight into how gravitational dynamics in ECM work.  

- Just as buoyancy reduces an object's apparent mass in a fluid, Negative Apparent Mass represents an apparent reduction of matter mass due to displaced energy.
- Just as displaced fluid produces an upward force, Negative Apparent Mass results in forces that alter gravitational behavior. 
- This analogy strengthens ECM’s foundation and provides an intuitive way to understand why Negative Apparent Mass is a superior alternative to Einstein’s cosmological constant.

Conditions of Singularity & Unification of Forces:

The question arises: What was the inevitable consequence of the extremely hot and dense state of singularity at the moment of the Big Bang, and what was the state of the four fundamental forces under such extreme conditions?

Summary:

The text explores the conditions and consequences of the singularity at the Big Bang, as well as the state of the fundamental forces during this event. It highlights that at the Big Bang, the universe was in an extremely hot and infinitely dense state, with matter compressed into an infinitesimally small volume due to gravitational forces. The four fundamental forces were unified into a single force, primarily manifested as gravity. This gravitational force was the inevitable consequence of the singularity's conditions. The concept of a singularity, seen in both the Big Bang and black holes, presents challenges and opportunities for our understanding of physics.

Answered : 

At the Big Bang singularity, all known fundamental forces were unified into a single force, manifesting as an extreme gravitational effect that compressed matter into an infinitesimally small volume of infinite density and temperature. In cosmology, and particularly in the study of black holes, a singularity represents a state where gravitational compression leads to such extreme conditions. At this initial moment, gravity emerged as the dominant force, governing the highly dense and hot state of the universe. The four fundamental forces—gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force—were initially unified, with gravity being the force responsible for the extreme compression of matter.
