  • Everything in the universe has a beginning, but how can the universe as a whole have a beginning? Does the cosmos come with a start date? Does a universal commencement make sense? What would it possibly mean? And what if there are multiple universes? Does the entire multiverse have a beginning?

    If that really was the beginning of the Universe in it’s entirety, and if the Universe is meant to continue expanding forever, then we are extremely lucky to be here at such a very early stage of the supposed lifespan of the Universe. 13.8 billion years is comparable to the first milliseconds when compared to the trillions and trillions and trillions of years to come

      Exactly.
      Hoyle was right, the big bang with initial inflation stage is a patchwork quilt, it's simply not clean enough.
      A steady state universe, with no beginning and no end, forever expanding and accelerating in its expansion, seems more probable now.
      Always remember, in physics, indications that back bad theories can look extremely "conclusive", only for them to be proven wrong by a later, deeper understanding, so might it be in the case of the discoveries that seem to back the big bang theory, CBR for example can be explained in a forever expanding accelerating universe. The other observations mentioned in this video, can also be consistent with a steady state expanding accelerating universe.
      I always hated the big bang theory right from when I first studied it in physics at university, but was too shy (and ill equipped) to challenge the orthodoxy. Now that the universe has been found to be accelerating, dare I say I might have been right.
      I think it's wide open.

    The big bang theory idea is too easy of an answer and never explains what brought about the dense circle and what actually triggered the band to happen? ( Now experts are moving away from that with newer theories) Even a bigger mystery is how could it happen without time?

      It doesn't matter that they say time began at the moment of the big bang because that is just not possible. Time is something that CANNOT NOT EXIST, period. Time exists whether anything else exists or not. This is just a convenient way for them to get around many questions they cannot and never will be able to answer and also to try to make their theory about this big bang theory look as if it makes sense when in fact it makes no sense at all and furthermore doesn't explain where this infinitely small singularity came from into existence. And according to this theory, it began to expand or inflate into a non existent area creating space as it did expand. In order for anything to expand, the space in which it will expand into has to already exist. They are smoking some pretty potent weed. They are framing this as if the universe is a creating force that is in itself a non contingent necessary existence, to avoid bringing a higher creative force into the equation. Right now you have 2 choices. The universe always existed, which makes no sense at all, or that you can get something from nothing, which also makes no sense. I believe it is something entirely different, and no one has even the smallest clue as to what it might really be. How can anyone speak of ♾️ when there is no way to be able to imagine it. And yet that is what always existed would require. If you can get something out of nothing, then becoming a trillionaire from being a beggar on the street seems easy enough, and makes me wonder what they are waiting for to make trillions of dollars appear on their cardboard boxes

    Rees didn’t really address the fundamental question that was being posed, namely, was there a beginning? It is certainly important and fascinating to know what happened down to a mind-boggling fraction of a second, but that still doesn’t tell us what happened at THE beginning, meaning at T=0 seconds.

    In order for something to have a beginning, it must be subjected to time - by definition!
    But only physical matter is affected by time (Einstein's theory of gravitation) so therefore, only our physical universe had a beginning.
    Science found such a beginning when they discovered the Higgs boson in 2012.
    That beginning was very soon after the Big Bang when the Higgs boson appeared and gave matter mass.
    Einstein said that mass curves the fabric of space into the 4th dimension known as time.
    Once matter acquired mass, it had a beginning and was forever subjected to time.
    However, the energy field at the root of physical matter (String Theory, Quantum Field Theory) is NOT subjected to time as energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
    So, the short answer is yes and no.
    Yes, our physical universe had a beginning.
    No, our energetic universe behind physical existence does not.

    From the book … Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen ... author Jane Hawking ... The True Story Behind the Theory of Everything.
    Only a month later we found ourselves again in Rome, where Stephen was to be admitted by the Pope to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, despite the heresies he was still preaching about the universe having neither a beginning or an end.
    I watched and listened from the sidelines and my heart sank as I heard it repeated again and again in some form or other. "Professor Hawking, what does your research tell you about the existence of God? Or "Is there room for God in the universe you describe?" or, more directly, "Do you believe in God?" Always the answer was the same. No, Stephen did not believe in God and there was no room for God in his universe.

    What if other structures, in this dimension or another, existed before our universe? Who is to say that this universe is the only one and that all dimensions existed at the same time. What was the universe before it started expanding? What is the universe expanding into?

    In our holy book QURAN ALLAH SAID:
    Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds.") And He placed on it [i.e., the earth] firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days without distinction[1384] - for [the information of] those who ask. 11) Then He directed Himself[1385] to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come [into being],[1386] willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly."
    (12) And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired [i.e., made known] in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars, for beauty] and as protection.[1387] That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

    Before you ask if there was a beginning you must define excactly the beginning of „what“? The beginning of the visible i.e. observable universe or the entire universe? These are two different things. The visible universe started shortly after the big bang but this big bang was maybe not also the start of the entire universe which we know is at least 125 Million times as voluminous as the visible universe and the entire universe might be Even infinite.

    Martin is a very good speaker, very clear, however the interview should have been longer to deal with other issues at Big Bang, such as Inflation, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, antimatter and backward time. These are fundamental issues and as a consequence, the picture Martin painted was too simplistic. Also, the sudden creation of the universe ex nihilo, implies the existence of G-D.

Measurement is believing you exist because you therefore actually exist and if you actually exist then you will first believe you exist, the odds of existing and first believing you exist are the same even if the odds themselves are different. Science, God, evolution, and religion are all different concepts of existence but they are still the same existence as an infinite first belief of existence, you and your thoughts will never change but they will repeat by believing this is your first belief of existence which is the realization that this is actually your infinite first belief of existence.

    I think the idea of a big bang is wrong if you include space but correct if your talking about matter. It's Apple's and oranges not the same. A hot dense start ok our blacksphere was our big bang and every galaxie has had a big bang . They all didn't happen at the same time. Everything in space is moving nothing is still so what's making everything have to move. What moves our solar system around the star the star. What moves our star around the milkyway the blacksphere at the center. So what's moving the milkyway around in space perhaps were moving around our bigbang? And in doing so it create the illusion of expansion because of the vast distances. The milkyway could in fact be part of an enormous arm of the mother galaxie that we can't observe because we're in it. Size doesn't matter in space it's only relative to our surroundings

    I have some Concerns about Looking at Very Very Old Images in that the Current Vision of that May not be the True Appearance at the Time of Image Creation. In other Words the Image is Likely to have Changed with Time and Consequence.
    SECOND POINT
    Obviously What We See Via a Number of Methods of The Universe. This May Only be a Very Very Small Part of the True Universe. In Other Words We Have Absolutely No Proof that What we See is The Entire True Universe.
    THIRD POINT
    We Must Acknowledge the Unknowns of the Distant Past. In that The Sciences of Space, Earth, Life May Never Never be Capable of Figuring Out Something which has been Destroyed by the Actions of Time. Hence Science is Pursuing Futility on Some Issues.
    FOURTH POINT
    Yes as some of Us have Pointed Out. The Fact that Time is Infinite is a Major Flaw to The Bing Bang Theory. The Theory that Time is Infinite Backwards and Forwards is Far More Sound than the Big Bang Theory.
    FIFTH POINT
    I am Very Very Sceptical about the Back Ground Radiation and what that Indicates.
    SIXTH POINT
    Evolution can Not be Proven to be a Constant. Or Proven to Apply to All of the Known Universe.

And, i don't know how old is this video, but today is not at all generally accepted that the BB was the begging. Many cosmologists, like N. Turok, don't accept this. Even though in these videos the host generally keeps an open mind, in this one he seemed to fell into the classic BB mambo jumbo.

      4. Changeless ( Change depends on physical being )
      5. Timeless ( Without physical events, there can be no time, and time began with the Big Bang )
      6. Immaterial (Because He transcends space and created matter),
      7. Spaceless ( Since it created space)
      8. Personal (The impersonal can’t create personality, and only a personal, free agent can cause a change from a changeless state )
      9. Enormously Powerful ( Since it brought the entire universe, space-time and matter into existence )
      10. Necessary (As everything else depends on it),
      11. Absolutely independent and self-existent ( It does not depend on a higher causal agency to exist otherwise there would be infinite regress which is impossible )
      12. Infinite and singular (As you cannot have two infinities),
      13. Diverse yet has unity (As all multiplicity implies a prior singularity),
      14. Intelligent (Supremely, to create everything, in special language, complexity, factories and machines),
      15. Purposeful (As it deliberately created everything with goals in mind),

    The ultimate source of existence, whatever you call it, has to transcend time. It can have no beginning, nor can it have an ending.

      There is, though, Hoyle's work and the theories of the formation of the heavier elements in stars and supernovae, and the relative abundance of those elements relative to each other, that theory seems to be strongly consistent with a universe starting from a hot dense amorphous big bang.

    29 when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
