As I already said: "This can not be calculated in terms of standard point-based observational or theoretical measurements (such as planck units), because the objective nature of the phenomenon defies observation." Again, I am suggesting that you consider that the fundamental assumptions under which you are operating are the source of the conceptual barrier theoretical physics has faced since the time of Einstein. Planck units are theoretical units that were concocted in relation to observed physical constants, such that a unit of each constant would be equal to one, correct? I.e. light travels at a speed of one Planck length per Planck time? It is assumed that measurements of these constants can be made objectively in relation to observation, even given what we all know to be the natural limitations of observation that can not be transcended. If we acknowledge that observation is necessarily limited, it follows logically that any measurement derived from observation would inherit those limitations. Again, consequently, it follows that no such thing as Planck units can be known objectively to exist (even given their obvious theoretical importance) because no objectively accurate measurement of said constants can be made in terms of observation. You are placing an artificial constriction on the origin of the Universe in terms of mathematics as you understand it, and you are declaring this to be objective when nothing could be further from the truth. As I have already explained and demonstrated, you are operating on a series of theoretical assumptions that you can not prove, and it seems furthermore that you do not comprehend the theoretical nature of the assumptions that you are making or even that these assumptions are implicit in your statements. But a DeBroglie wave still still describes probability, right? Specifically the relative probability of finding a particle at a given point within a configuration space? Furthermore, as the velocity of a particle approaches zero (rest) the de Broglie wavelength approaches infinity, correct? Now assume just for a moment that what I'm saying is correct, and the singularity is a gravitational wave in spacetime with no upwards limit in frequency. As opposed to the Universe spontaneously emerging from a point, we now can see the universe as an infinite progression expanding from a common space (what we call "origin"). In this understanding it would follow that one could estimate the probability of finding a particle at a given point in space, but never measure with perfect accuracy where that point is, because there is no objectively real zero point ("origin point") to use as reference, even though there appears to be. Am I missing something?

Implicit in your initial statement is the very assumption I already described, "the assumption that theoretical units such as the Planck length, and observable measurements from which said theoretical units are extrapolated, are objectively accurate." Again, you affirm the basis of your opinion in said assumptions. And if you understood what I am saying you would know I agree with and believe that Einstein's field equations have resulted in many predictions which have been proven to be accurate in accordance with observation, which we all know and no reasonable person would deny has intrinsic limitations (you can't observe the entire Universe at once, can you friend?). Because Einstein's field equations are built on observable measurements, and because observation is inherently limited, there is a conceptual flaw at the foundation of his theory that manifests in the form of a point in space that is irreconcilable with the observed measurements. I believe I am proposing a novel way of conceptualizing this problem, and I would love your assistance in determining if that is correct without the pious diatribe about the sanctity of discrete mathematics.

What we call wave-particle duality (the dual nature of all particles as both an observed particle and a wave of probability) is a simple consequence of what we observe as the origin of the Universe. Due to the limitations of human observation, a gravitational wave in spacetime increasing indefinitely in frequency would be virtually indistinguishable from a point. This is what we call "the singularity". Because we can not distinguish this wave from a point, we measure the age of the Universe relative to what we conceive of as an origin point, and we estimate that the Universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old. Because the Universe as we observe it expands from what appears to be a common origin point, but what is actually a gravitational wave in spacetime with no upwards limit to its frequency, we observe the phenomenon that we call wave-particle duality. All of your assumptions follow from the assumption that theoretical units such as the Planck length, and observable measurements from which said theoretical units are extrapolated, are objectively accurate. The reality is that all measurements derived from human observation inherit the intrinsic limitations of human observation relative to the singularity. In Einstein's Relativity the singularity is incorrectly resolved as a point in spacetime, when in reality it should be thought of as a gravitational wave in spacetime with no upwards limit in frequency. The limits of observation, and the assumptions derived thereof, exist relative to a pervasive gravitational wave in spacetime with no upwards or downwards limit to its frequency. This can not be calculated in terms of standard point-based observational or theoretical measurements (such as planck units), because the objective nature of the phenomenon defies observation.

Does it or does it not appear according to modern scientific theory that the Universe emerged from a point in what we call "The Big Bang"? What I am suggesting is that a wave in spacetime increasing indefinitely in frequency, would be virtually indistinguishable from a point due to the intrinsic limitations of human observation.

You do not seem to understand the distinction I am making when I say "observable universe". Relativity as formulated in terms of observable measurements demands the theoretical existence of points in space and time. The resolution of the singularity as a point in Einstein's Relativity is a consequence of the intrinsic limitations of observable measurements. Einstein could not make heads or tails of the singularity. This is why: to resolve the singularity as a point in spacetime is objectively incorrect. The singularity is a wave in spacetime with no upwards limit to its frequency

The singularity is a gravitational wave with no upwards limit in frequency. Consequently, we measure the age of the Universe to be 13.8 billion years, and also the past is infinite. This is the simple essence of wave-particle duality. We observe what appears to be a point in space, and any point in space we observe can be traced back to the original singularity. The point is what we conceive of in relation to our observation, and this is what we measure. The singularity is the objective reality underlying all observational experience.

What happens if, instead of considering the singularity as a "point", we consider it as a gravitational wave with no upwards limit to its frequency? In this understanding although the Universe appears to expand from a point, the expansion of the Universe and thus the progression of time is explained in terms of a pervasive gravitational wave in spacetime with no upwards or downwards limit to its frequency. At a certain frequency, this wave due to the limitations of human observation would be indistinguishable from a point, but nevertheless capable of increasing in frequency to no end. The singularity is a wave of ultra-high frequency that underlies all of spacetime, but is only noticeable under certain conditions such as preceding the Big Bang or at the heart of a black hole. The observable universe consists of spacetime within the visible spectrum of spacetime (commensurate with the visible spectrum of light). Spacetime beyond the event horizon of a black hole would be ultra-low frequency spacetime as spacetime is stretched towards the ultra-high frequency singularity under conditions of massive amounts of gravity. I.e., spacetime "redshifts" towards the singularity, from the downwards limit in the visible spectrum of spacetime (in terms of frequency), which we call the "event horizon".
