Even light has some weight. I know right...

I'm not trying to be rude but faster than light speed is impossible, in nature, as far as I've read. (the subject is very interesting and the link is great and informative)

Not to derail this well thought out thread but just fealt you should know

If you're suggesting all of the mass in the universe was in two 'rocks'- it doesn't work that way.
Once something gets enough mass, it has enough gravity that its insides are under significant pressure- which creates heat... aka, stars.
There's a lot of interesting information about what happens to stars when they get too big- or get old, and what they turn into ...

Photons are believed to be massless. They do however have energy. They also have momentum.
Massless particles wiki
Since they can't slow down the next link makes no sense right?
Slower than light speed photons
Physics, who gets it?

unless there is incredible force keeping it 'apart'
There is strong potential for another theory right there.
The Big Bang alludes to an internal explosive type event. What if the Big Bang was an external event that pulled the singularity (which you don't really need now) outwards into every direction (space being created) at once? Imagine holding a quantity of water in your hands and then pulling them rapidly apart. Leaves behind filaments of water when you do.
Some older reporting of high energy events at the edge of space left me wondering if the Big Bang was ever really over with.

Physics, who gets it?
The speed of light was invariant, the path of light was longer in one case, meaning that it took longer to traverse.
Why does this happen? One way of thinking about it is that some of the light in a structured beam is moving in the “wrong” direction – sideways rather than forwards. This isn’t a strictly accurate picture of the energy distribution within the beam, warns Padgett, but it is a way to imagine what might be going on. “Personally I think that’s a useful concept, though the scientific rigour police might not welcome it.”
The researchers found that one photon reached the finish line as predicted, but the structured photon which had been reshaped by the mask arrived later, meaning it was travelling more slowly in free space. Over a distance of one metre, the team measured a slowing of up to 20 wavelengths, many times greater than the measurement precision.

Just for sake say there was no gravity with mass before big collision. No boss higons no nothing the strike of two so huge objects created that.

Are you referring to the Higgs boson?
boss higons might be some guy in the early 20th century, not sure though.

Are you suggesting a 'super-cosmological constant' force? Perhaps one that could only operate in the conditions of the BB and shortly after?

Very interesting. Your knowledge on these subjects far exceeds my own. I stand corrected.

That is not exactly true I think, what happened there is you took the easy way to define it and used it as a fact.
