RE: "energy is force in one form or another"
Not so.
Back to basic physics - force is the conversion(i.e., use) of energy.

Smolin suggested a 26d unified field ? (far out, man!)
Where did this field come from ?
Jumping over this foundation question, if Smolin indicates that the expansion ha
ppens by compactification of the first 16d, WHAT(WHO) caused this compactificati
on movement ?

"That actually happened in our own big bang." - a Smolin believer ?
Even if a small mass from one universe in the form of a 26d unified field
can create another universe containing a much greater total mass,
where did the first universe(s) come from ?
"Smolin reasoned that the creation of baby universes has been going on forever"
From this, Smolin appears to confirm that the first universe(s) is
eternally existent and, thus, there is no beginning ?

RE: "which strangely is the type required to create life as we know it."
Not so strange if you know life as I know it.
I pray you keep searching.
