  • Understanding how the universe began has been a goal for scientists, philosophers, and theologians for millennia. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln describes the scientific view on this topic. He covers what we know, what we think, and what we may forever never know.

      Great pure science up to 1x10-43 seconds. During this point he throws out the most obvious point and provides 3 explanations even more radical. Physics 'breaking down' is not the most obvious explanation. You can't explain physics if what you use to calculate it doesn't exist yet. Einstein's theory perfectly predicts that space, time, and matter are interdependent. That's the 'physics' relationship we have. It's pretty obvious if you don't have one you don't have any. The most logical explanation is that there was nothing as we know it. No time, matter, or space. His concept of multiple universes is also most logical mathematically, but does not need to intercept with ours.

      Chesky Stern it might also be a sin to say that we don’t know something when we clearly do! We do know what existed before or outside spacetime. You will see what I mean if you stop trying to make your way back to the beginning from within spacetime -when we know that the natural laws break down! Seriously that’s just being stupid. You can take yourself out of the universe one way. By finding the one solid thing that must have existed forever. Probability or probabilities. I explain the implications of this one foundation of reality in my video where I look hideous but Looks aren’t everything 😆🤷‍♀️
      People are so sure that they don’t know but that’s patently ridiculous because you can take the whole universe as an experimental result in a way- and then we DO KNOW that there was the probability of the universe existing. We know that and that’s huge. Probability is prime. It exists without the universe. The implications of that are staggering. I explain in my video. Incidentally I am a scientist in the top 1% of IQ and I have thought about this one thing my whole life. I am not being contentious, flippant, or cute. I discuss these things with Nobel Prizewinners. He’s just wrong.

      "It's not easy to explain difficult things in an easy way."
      That's true when someone's just trying to explain something difficult.
      Like a rocket engineer trying to explain how all the many facets involved in the mechanics of a rocket work together to produce a rocket that does what it's designed to do.
      That would be very difficult to explain in an easy way.
      But Dr Logan, I think it was, he's trying to explain the impossible.
      There is no scientific method in his description. There's no science that could reveal anything about what happened before creation came into being.
      And the big bang model defies the laws of physics, logic, the scientific method and common sense.
      Apparently, this fantasy club actually believe they represent Christ.
      Far from it. Christ taught us to trust God's word. Not change it, amend it, manipulate it, to conform with the secular ideologies of big bangs, billions of years, evolution, etc.
      When, and for how long the creation event took is clearly written in the book of Genesis, and specifically, the King James version.
      What God's word teaches is clear.
      The only question is do you believe God's word or man's best guesses?
      Because this guy is not teaching science aka observed, tested, repeatable knowledge.
      He's choosing what seems most reasonable, and aligns best with the modern secular concessions.
      Literally, you have to presume the big bang happened before compiling various theories about when and how it happened, what was happening prior to it, what caused it, etc.
      Without your initial assumption that it happened, there is nothing to extrapolate upon.
      That means it's all fantasy.
      So, you tell me... What, exactly, have you actually learned from examining a long list of previous fantasies?
      And if you're a Christian, believe Christ. He created the world as is, in six days, approximately 6000 years ago.
      Personally, I chose to believe God's word... At least until it can be proven wrong.
      And His word, as always, has proven to be, by far, the most scientifically sustainable model of the universe's origin and creation.
      No model that begins with "billions of years ago" stands up to objective scrutiny.
      Just the observation of the many clues just inside this solar system defy and debunk that model...
      Dinosaur fossils, and fossils in general, have been proven to be but a few thousand years old, by numerous examples of the actual application of the scientific method.
      Evolutionists have only one good reason to deny science every time it defies evolution. They prefer to believe there is no Creator.
      But Christians don't have any good reason to deny both God and science.
      Peer pressure is not a good reason, btw.
      Leave God out of it and just stand by the actual unbiased, objective, tested and repeated observable facts.
      Bio matter has a half-life of about 520 years, tops. Period. End of discussion.
      Rescuing devises are not how science moves forward.
      The bible, ancient textual human history, archeology, fossils, and the objectivity of the scientific method, just to name a few, all favor God's word, at all times, and in all things.
      But Christians need to learn to trust God...
      At least until His word has been demonstrably proven wrong.
      If anyone could have done that, there would be no bible.
      It's loaded from top to bottom, side to side, cover to cover with specific people, places, things, times, dates, prophecies, world renowned events, and more...
      If it was all made up, it would be the easiest thing in the world to debunk.

      Far too many people think a scientific hypothesis when stated, is something that scientists know to be true, or are asserting to be true. No, it's only a possibility they have reason to believe MAY be true, and do not have any verifiable evidence for it yet.

      Did you know God created the world?
      Did you also know a guy named Georges Lemaître, (1894-1966), Belgian cosmologist, Catholic priest came up with the idea of a big bang theory?
      The definition of ( theory ) is-
      a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
      "Darwin's theory of evolution is also just and idea some man had.
      In the 1920's is when the idea happen, and it's weird because he was a priest and if he read the Bible it says on the first page God created the world. Unless he didn't really believe the Bible and is one of the people the Bible talks about being a wolf in sheep's clothing deceiving people and causing confusion.
      Most people don't believe the Bible because they say it was written by man and it's wrong but instead some go and believe in nothing or in evolution and the big bang or both those together without the thought of God creating the world...
      Did you know the Bible says there's a number for man and it's the same number as the beast and the number is 666? How did someone thousands of years ago know that the number of man was 666 without DNA testing or the technology you'd need to know that? Because humans have carbon-12 in them which is made up of 6 protons 6 electrons and 6 neutrons and also Jesus and Lucifer where referred to as stars in the Bible and stars too also have carbon-12. How can they possibly know this information unless they where given the knowledge.
      But with all the confusion and lies in the world through time people lost the truth. Now we have people believing in other man's words about life and creation of earth and humans when they truly don't know and the Bible is the answer to those questions without a doubt if you are wide enough to understand what it says which everyone should because God is not the author of confusion...
      We all need to put are faith and trust back into God and his only begotten son Jesus Christ.
      For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him will not perish but have everlasting life
      He died on the cross and rose again to save us all from sin cause by the devil.
      Peace and love to everyone who reads this.
      JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO ONE CAN GET TO THE FATHER BUT BY HIM.

This duality combines general relativity’s singularities of infinite density breaking through spacetime in ‘Cosmic Egg hatchings’ of all created universes within ‘The Conglomerate’: multiverse with no random quantum fluctuation bubble universes, no parallel worlds, and no universes with different physical laws. Our Universe is 1-in-2 trillion ‘self-similar offspring’ each with the same inherited ‘DNA’.

The ubiquitous cause-and-effect ‘circle of life cycle’: birth-life-death-transformation-rebirth explains infinite space and eternity - a necessity.

There are many scientific explanations for which there is indisputably a consensus. Biological evolution and the Big Bang are two such examples. It may be that you personally don't like those explanations because (perhaps) they conflict with your preferred religious narrative, but it is demonstrably true that they represent the scientific consensus on those issues.

      @Larry Chappell The elephant in the room is that before the big bang there was nothing (no time, no space, no mass, no energy). Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created... The physical laws of time and space, and the relationship of mass and energy, and all atomic values defined in the first microsecond. Since God created them he operated outside those parameters and is in no way limited by them in any way. So what was before the big bang we can never know...until we die and then it won't matter.
      Apparently the universe is a one-time event. It was created, will exist for a period of time (approximately 145 billion years) then the "Big Rip" will end it all with all mass reduced to sub-atomic particles and be rolled up like a scroll.

      We could qualify everything with that though, absolute knowledge just doesn't exist. We could all be brains floating in vats, or simulated computer programs, but we still think it's appropriate to investigate and disseminate what we know about the reality we experience, even if that's just 'to the best of our knowledge'.

    The problem is that we only have a small sample size, taken over a tiny period of time, and from one infinitesimally small spot in the universe. Our perspective is fixed, and we have to make many assumptions based only on the tiny snippets of information we can collect at that point. It's like sampling the air one inch above the ground outside your front door for a week, and then trying to describe the whole of the Earth's atmosphere in minute detail, just from those readings. Yet even with millions of weather measurements taken around the globe every day, dozens of weather satellites in orbit, and vast amounts of computing power running simulations, we still don't have the granularity to accurately predict the exact conditions at that one spot at any point in time. Now imagine this on a universal scale.

I think we are in the birth of time and need to learn so much more about this universe it will probably take more than a lifetime to learn all that the universe has to offer. We are probably looking at 1000's of years before we learn what we need to know about the universe.

      "The BIG Bang-Bit Bang inflation/expansion of energy and information into the void 13.8 billion years ago was a supermassive white hole spawned by a supermassive black hole at the heart of a galaxy in our 'parent universe'. This duality combines general relativity’s singularities of infinite density in a ‘Cosmic Egg’ birth of this and all universes within 'The Conglomerate': multiverse without random bubble universes and parallel worlds. Our Universe is inside the Planck density of that SBH and shares the same event horizon. That SBH-SWH seed phase transition was a 'quantum tunneling umbilical wormhole' with energy-matter and data transformed/transferred, albeit scrambled and encoded. Our Universe is 1-in-2 trillion 'self-similar offspring' each with the same inherited physical laws (‘DNA’). This simple cause-and-effect cycle/'circle of life' - birth-life-death-transformation-rebirth - explains both infinite space and eternity. Reproduction is GOD/Nature’s simplest plan for spreading life for everything from cells to universes." - Seal #1a of the 7seals.blogspot.com

    Very good explanation. Thanks for being honest! Here is what I learned.
    So far It appears that the universe started as something tiny and started to expand to what we can observe and detect today. It also appears that anything we can observe or detect is made from extremely tiny particles which interact and combine with each other based on some fundamental predetermined rules. We have identified quit a few of these extremely tiny particles and have identified quit a few of the rules these particles follow to interact and combine. Perhaps most of the particles and most of the rules but there probably are more.
    We also discovered that anything that we can observe or detect is made from the same basic stuff and we call this stuff energy. We know this because we have figured out how to calculate a value or quantity of energy for anything that we can observe or detect. I think we can say the fabric of the universe is space time but we can also say that the fabric of the universe is energy time because we now know that space is not empty and is also some type of energy and we can calculate or at least estimate how much energy is in a given volume of space.
    It also appears that after the universe started to expand, no more energy was added or removed as it continued to expand. We do not know what the rules were that determined the amount of energy in the universe nor what caused the energy in the universe to start expanding. The rules for how energy expands, transforms, interacts and combines cause energy to cycle from concentrated to diluted states. Although the cycles can be repeated almost an infinite number of times, there will be a time when they stop because as the cycles keep repeating, the total amount of energy in the universe keeps becoming more and more diluted. We call this rule entropy.
    At some point in time, all the energy will become so diluted that it will not be able to cycle back into more concentrated states and we think this is when the universe ends. We still do not know the rules before the universe started to expand and we still do not know the rules after the universe ends and there are probably still many rules that we do not know about that causes the energy in the universe to cycle back and forth from concentrated to diluted states as it continues to expand.

      that's the holographic principle, based on information thought to be imprinted on a black hole's event horizon, which was established as the solution to the information paradox by stephen hawking i think. Then speculation arose that the same thing could apply to our whole universe, all the universe as information imprinted on a two dimensional hologram, either encircling our universe or imprinted on a black hole's event horizon. This encouraged further speculation taking the idea to its most extreme conclusion-the simulation hypothesis. Holographic principle though merely speculative is way more sensible than the latter. But that's only relatively speaking.
      They are both fringe ideas. Indeed two experiments have been done to test for the holographic principle, one was to test for the equivalent of pixels in the structure of space-time. If this is holographic, then space will be pixelated. However so far no pixelation has been found. Another experiment, this one non lab based, used telescopes to measure the journey of different types of electromagnetic waves, specifically if space-time is not a smooth membrane like medium, then Fermi's LAT would have detected a significant time lag between the arrival of the lowest-energy and highest-energy gamma rays. In fact, to within one part in 100 million billion, the two photons traveled at the same speed. Many approaches to new theories of gravity picture space-time as having a shifting, frothy structure at physical scales trillions of times smaller than an electron. Some models predict that the foamy aspect of space-time will cause higher-energy gamma rays to move slightly more slowly than photons at lower energy.
      Such a model would violate Einstein's edict that all electromagnetic radiation -- radio waves, infrared, visible light, X-rays and gamma rays -- travels through a vacuum at the same speed.
      Fermi showed that pixelation or rough 'texture' in space-time may not exist at all. So far the smoothness of the space-time continuum has been confirmed. So that's NO to the holographic principle or simulation hypothesis. It confirms the aether/vacuum conventional idea, supported by Einstein and his predecessors which describes spacetime as euclidean.
      However all this fringe speculation, especially occupying populist 'science' circles, started with the information paradox black hole problem, which I'm not satisfied is solved, and I don't even think it's that great a problem-energy can't be created or destroyed, information can't be lost. These rules may not apply in extreme situations e.g. at the high energy and temperatures just after time equals zero st the big bang our laws of physics did not apply. And similarly things break down in black holes-which are the most extreme predictions derived from General relativity's mathematics-all the tensor and vector calculus. the schwarzschild metric and the kerr metric describes the physics of black holes, and it's pretty crazy,the maths says in a kerr black hole you can visit your own past. Black holes spin space and time. All real black holes are spinning black holes. The angular momentum of the star thay collapsed, plus the material the black hole devows, even at a quantum level, the angular momentum of every fermion and boson means black holes always rotate. A paper in the astrophysical journal detailed how gamma ray bursts seem to produce superluminal motion, with superluminal gamma waves being time reversed.. gamma ray burst only happen in very extreme cosmological events and therefore are another example of where our laws of physics may break down to produce faster than light travel through space under that unique condition. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ab3bdf

    But the fact that science always takes a purposeful attempt to ignore that there might have been a higher being who started this whole thing from a literal zero and nothingness surprises me at times, it’s almost a daring thing from the minds of most scientists ( I consider myself a learned person myself but I am a believer of a creator too).
    Anyhow, I think science will reach at a point where there’s no escape from the truth, there’s an initiator of this whole universe and no way around it no matter what anyone says or tries to speculate or hypothesise !

      Maybe that's true, but then the next logical questions would be: Who/what created the creator? What existed before the creator? We would basically be in the same spot we are now, not understanding how it all began.

      there purpose is to find how the universe was created and not how a higher being created the universe that is the most possibly unbiased way of thinking

    Accepting that we don’t know something is a talent any good scientist must possess.
