It introduces the concept of a primordial bud instead of a primordial atom, and likens the universe’s expansion to pomological (fruit-like) growth, with dark matter acting as the sap fueling its development. Drawing on personal observations and scientific analogies, the author argues that the universe grows similarly to a fruit, silently and organically. The article encourages rethinking the formation of the cosmos using biological and observational metaphors, while also considering the potential of dark matter as a renewable energy source.</abstract><keywords><keyword>Big Bang Theory</keyword><keyword>Dark Matter</keyword><keyword>Universe Expansion</keyword><keyword>Pomological Growth</keyword></keywords></article>
