Here is an interesting article w/video explaining a theory of creation in the universe. It really is very intriguing and as contradictory as the theory is, it comes together and makes sense in the end. Enjoy.

I think I have a few universes in my wallet/bank account!!!! :rofl:
Now you know how they say you are rich when you have nothing...
:D
I guess the Neverending Story is really true.
No really... interesting vid..

Damn it now my brain hurts.....
(going to have to get that magazine too :P )
Your all heathens!!! :rofl:
As Tao tells us, when we die we are something that returns to nothing. How foolish it would be to not believe something can come from nothing.
Guth's work has been out for a while now, and is certainly interesting and well-argued.
Not so sure about the secondary component of the argument this video makes, which is also fairly popular. There is something logically problematic with taking certain physical 'rules' or characteristics of the universe as it is and then assuming (a) the universe has always had these rules or characteristics exactly as we see them today, and (b) these same rules or characteristics would necessarily apply to the ??????? into which the universe came to be.
For it certainly cannot be missed that the universe is expanding into something (or nothing), and if it indeed 'banged', it arguably banged into this same something (or nothing), and this matrix, whatever it is or isn't, has no reasonable expectation of being anything like the universe that banged into it, either in terms of its form, its structure, or the physical rules that undergird it.
Hence, just because the structural 'DNA' of physics in this universe permits (so we currently think) things to pop into and out of existence with no particular cause, there is no reason to assume this same DNA is at work in the unknown beyond the universe.
We see this even in our own universe. At a micro level quantum mechanics operates, but it does not (to the best of our knowledge) operate at a macro level.
Again, a most interesting theory, but by definition probably completely impossible to verify.
But that's still no reason not to think it over. :D
Nice chew-worthy topic!
Great post! Your points certainly created more questions for me. I have always been a fan of magazines like pop. science, discover, the history channel specials that have been on the air recently but aside from that, I'm very much an amateur. I'm getting ready for some physics classes next semester at IU, so hopefuly that will elevate my "science talk" in the future.Quote:

I'm curious as to how scientists would accomplish that feat. Maybe through blackhole studies/experiments...I know the LHC was going to create some micro black holes, hmmm. But youre right, many of these theories may be almost impossible for us to concretely prove with current technology.
Thankee!
And always bear in mind that we are all 'amateurs'. Some are a little further down the road than others, but in the grand scheme, we are all illiterate children at best. Most of what is out there, we don't know. And probably much of what we 'know' is also not out there. ;)
So far as the physics stuff is concerned, bear in mind that when dealing with extreme scenarios such as black holes or the big bang, we have to tentatively table our understanding of normal physics. Case in point: since time (so far as we know) is a function of cosmic space (properly space-time), we cannot rightly talk about a 'time' before the big bang, since the space-time in which we live and operate and gauge time, did not exist. It's a hard concept to get the mind around, but again, one of those things we are born into and have to un-learn when we tackle the really thorny problems.
And again, every possible scientific inquiry in this universe will only provide, eo ipso, a further understanding of . . . this universe.
Black holes are nice, but they occur in this universe, which means in the end, they operate according to the rules that fund this space-time. Even if their operation alters the normal rules, the 'abnormal' rules they write for the rest of space-time are still underwritten by the larger cosmos.
Probably it is the case that the only way to 'get out' of this universe is to think in ways that are entirely unlike this universe. One of the greatest barriers to new learning is the learning we already have. Science is really good in this place, so perhaps it may require something very un-scientific to think about whatever it is that is outside our little expanding bubble. ;)
Cheers.
this dangeriously simplified. i get where the creators are comming from in making this, but its boardering on bull **** with how watered down it is.
the matrix if you will is space time, and i agree completly.Quote:

this is why i am consistently annoyed when poeple say that the universe came from nothing. there version of the big bang is that there was nothing, then something exploded and filled the void. this is incorrect, rather EVERYTHING was in the singularity, and everything expanded - the void included. space included. before the universe there may have been no such thing as time, there might have been no such thing as length. but again, our words break down ... how can something be BEFORE time itself?
this leads us down some interesting thought experiments. if everything expanded, and if we live in a closed universe, or a multiverse - then everything will come back together, and expand again ... perhaps with totally different natural laws and fundamental eliments and forces. we know that in mere seconds after the big bang, the four natural forces were really one force, and then gravity broke off ... what if in a progression of natural big bangs each one produced a universe differently? perhaops the multiverse is a series of universes with fundamentally different laws, and formations. existing simulatnously, yet, also being consecutive.
Interesting post. I'm not being snarky with my questions, I'm genuinely curious, this is a really mind bending subject.Quote:

Just got home from work and thought i would have a beer and check out whats happening on A.O,Ya WOW that video is deep,But i was talking to one of students at the u.of.a and they have learned about ANTI MATTER,That you take anti matter to create matter or somthing like that, then came on this Whole disscussion about creation.well i thought i would throw something out there. :spit_take
anti-matter destroys matter. it doesn't create it.Quote:

why? we dont know.

ps Are you the same cockerpunk on you tube?
yeah thats me.Quote:

If only gravity was a real thing... and if only we where not being lied to about how this place turely works....
stick to paintball kids.
if you truely want to know whats going on, look up nassim haramine.
