Riddles in the Dark

If a letter is an element and a word is a molecule then what is a subatomic particle? A phoneme? Then why do some letters denote multiple phonemes? Perhaps that is the utility of vowels and consonants. Is there a relationship between a phoneme's shape and the sound this shape symbolizes? What is the relationship between sound and shape? All that aside, consider actual sub-atomic particles. Protons, neutrons, electrons. Quarks. Photons. Photons and electrons are supposed to be irreducible units of pure energy. The atom's nucleus - its protons and neutrons - can be split, but an irreducible energy unit such as a photon cannot be split. So go back in time to the beginning of time itself. The singularity. The "moment" before the "big bang." When the Word said, "Let there be Light." Amidst infinite darkness, there appears a tiny ball of pure light, pure energy. This unit contains all the mass and energy that will ever constitute the universe. From the perspective of the infinite darkness engulfing it, this singularity appears tiny. It looks just like a photon. One tiny ball of pure energy. The singularity supposedly explodes. But what is the force and angle necessary to sever a fragment from the singularity? And what is the cause or explanation for such force and angle? Is it even logically possible for a singularity to split in two? Or are string theory and/or God logically imperative?
