  • English physicist and professor of particle physics Brian Cox explains the details behind the Big Bang theory.
    The moment where space, time and everything else that came into existence which would eventually give rise to the present day cosmos, occurred some 13.75 billion years ago.
    The prevailing cosmological model explaining the existence of the observable universe from the earliest known periods is known as The Big Bang theory.
    It is one of the best theories we have in all of science. But of course it doesn't explain everything. Like "Why" did the big bang happen in the first place. But maybe the question "Why" is not a good question. As it presupposes the Universe had a purpose. Maybe, a better question is... "How".
    Brian Cox points out how the idea that the universe began as an unfathomably single point, then expanded and stretched out to grow as large as it is today is truly mind boggling. But that's what the evidence strongly suggests happened.
    Two major scientific discoveries provide strong support for the Big Bang theory: Hubble’s discovery in the 1920s of a relationship between a galaxy’s distance from Earth and its speed. And the discovery in the 1960s of cosmic microwave background radiation.
    When scientists talk about the expanding Universe, they mean that it has been increasing in size ever since the Big Bang. But what exactly is getting bigger? Galaxies, stars, planets aren’t getting bigger. Their size is controlled by the strength of the fundamental forces that hold atoms and sub-atomic particles together, and that hasn’t changed. Instead it’s the space between galaxies that’s increasing - they’re getting further apart as space itself expands. And if that's the case, one might wonder: What is the Universe expanding into?
    Brian Cox explains that its extremely difficult to imagine the idea that space and time itself may have been created at the big bang.
    As counterintuitive and as strange these ideas may sound, they have firm theoretical framework based on our understanding of the laws of physics.

    "We don't know." - Brian Cox

    • @fluentpiffle
      @fluentpiffle Před rokem +1

      Brian Cox does not know. He is the 'face' of unknowing.. Currently a very profitable pastime..
      But if it is genuine knowing you want to achieve, there are ways.. However, the first requirement is to realise that knowing is its own 'prize'. It does not need to be lavished with capitalist adornments and/or piles of cash..
      So here is one of the main problems of understanding..
      People have a very poor understanding of what the word 'infinite' actually means.. This is not any kind of 'fault', but just that we have evolved within the confines of what appears to be a finite environment, and we thus try to look at things in finite ways, also justifying those 'finite' thoughts. When I first approached the 'problem' I had the same difficulties, so it takes our minds a lot of effort to reach another perspective of understanding, but it IS achievable..
      Firstly, there cannot be more than one 'instance' of infinitude, otherwise a secondary 'thing' would render them both 'finite'. So we are describing a 'oneness'.. Also, it can have no 'beginning' nor 'ending' as these would also necessitate a secondary 'thing' (or the utter nonsense of a 'nothing'!), so we are describing 'eternity' when we apply 'time' concepts. Then, we have to admit that it can only be the one thing that interconnects all other 'things', and we deduce this to be 'Space', necessarily..
      All references to 'size' or 'direction' do not apply to the nature of infinitude, and thus have no relevance to our understanding of the true nature of existence. 'Measurement' has limitations.. When we point to any position in Space, we effectively create a 'beginning' to any subsequent forms of measurement, which only has relevance to the entity desiring to understand said 'measurement'. This does not make it a feature of the nature of reality, only a desire from a Human perspective.

    • @Bob-of-Zoid
      @Bob-of-Zoid Před rokem +1

      It expanded into the universe as it is now! Plenty there to explore. As for "Where" the single point was, that's a fallacious question if space and time came into existence by that point inflating into what is space and time which didn't exist up until then. No space = no place for the singularity, and no time = no time for it to exist in. Remove the 3 spatial dimensions and the forth one: time, and you are left with a single point of no size, nowhere. It sounds impossible to us as such, but only because we don't know, and cannot access such things as other dimensions, opposite/negative dimensions... all being out of our scope of not just exploration, but existence as we know it altogether, yet possibly existence not much different for a whole other, possibly immeasurable amounts of universes within the same space and time that aren't space and time to each other, and can coexist without interfering with each other, or exist being entwined with each other within the many quantum fields, just on different frequency harmonics than what give our universe mass and energy, and allow interactions between them, even if not apparent.
      Mind melting I know, but such are very possible truths of theoretical physics.

      I think what OP is Saying is that when something is said to expand it is implied that there is a space into which it is expanding. Big bang contained all of space along with all matter, then what space was there for it to possibly expand through? The answer to this question I have always been given is that the universe is not expanding into anything, but rather simply expanding. Growing larger in size. This isn’t exactly an answer to the question but rather a clarification of the meaning of the word expand, or the more specific meaning of it In this context

      What is we made a deviice in the future ( don't get caught up on how its possible this is just a hypothetical) that sucked the entire universe into one point and then released everything again in the exact same way the big bang happened. If we did that wouldn't the universe play out exactly as it did? And then eventually we would do the same same exact thing and recreate the big bang again and again forever? and if that's the case then the big bang we all know of was potentially created by ourselves in a past version of the universe as well. this would create and infinite paradox but the cyclical nature of this little thought experiment would also explain the absurdity of the Big Bang happening seemingly out of nothing. It would mean the universe has always been happening and time is a circle. And under these conditions we would be our own god of sorts

    "Why" is a philosophical question. It's the philosophy's final question. The answer lies in the following dilemma:
    If you had a choice between:
    - being Nothingness;
    - deluding yourself into believing this dream equals reality to create and feel love.
    You would do anything to create and feel love, hence why you exist.
    Note that my words have an expanded meaning:
    - Nothingness = a state where nothing exists at all, yet something exists that allows the creation of the dream; a true paradox.
    - Dreaming = believing this reality is real while it cannot be real due to the paradox of inability to create something out of nothing.
    - You = God, Everything that exists, Absolute, All-encompassing infinity of all possible realities.
    - Creativity = Love = Everything that exists, all possible combinations of things and no-things, Being, Togetherness, Intelligence, etc, etc, etc (includes everything, both Evil and Good because evil and good are relative to the POV of the material form).

      Of the 4 fundamental forces (the strong force, the weak force, electromagnetism and gravity), strong is by far the strongest (duh) but has a very short range - on the order of subatomic particles - and the weak force also has a very limited range.
      That just leaves electromagnetism and gravity able to act over distance. Electromagnetism is much stronger than gravity, but the strongest known magnetic objects are magnetars, neutron stars with massive magnetic fields, so there's nothing we know of that can emit EM force with strength comparable to a supermassive black hole's gravity. Electromagnetism also affects most bodies much less than gravity, as the vast majority of material in an average planet or star is non magnetic.
      This leaves gravity, which affects everything, as the only force with universe-shaping capabilities.

I also believe consciousness is fundamental and consciousness is all that exists. This stems from philosophy however rookie presumptions have been made in science such as the reductionist view of what is the base particle or strings ect...science will rectify these mistakes in the near future and discover something about consciousness that is far more incredible than we can currently imagine.

    I hope Brian reads this because it's a question I long to try and understand an answer for. If travelling at the speed of light, strange things happen to time (as far as we understand). So what happens to particles say from an exploding star that travel at the speed of light? Does this mean these particles are somehow travelling in time? If so, is the universe a soup of different times? How can different times exist together, because these particles would reappear in space at different times from their origin?

      Search CZcams for videos on Special Relativity. Only light travels at the speed of light. Nothing else. Light particles (photons) could not experience time even if they had eyes and a brain. Imagine a photon leaving Earth at the speed of light and as it started it was looking a clock, the time displayed on that clock would never change, no matter how long the photon looked back at that clock as it raced into space. Because new photons showing different times could never catch the Our photon flying away at the speed of light To someone on Earth the clock would continue to work normally. Humans on Earth would experience time normally, protons never experience time.... that's Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. How we experience time is affected by how fast we travel and how far we are from massive objects. So if you stayed on the International Space Station for a year, time would slow for you compared to someone who stayed on Earth. But the difference would not that much, the Space station is flying fast enough nor its orbit that distant from Earth. On practical problem caused not to work well if adjustments aren't made for the speed of their satellites and how the height of their orbit. So GPS would be impractical if Special Reality was ignored. Crazy as it might seem time passes differently depending on your location and the speed at which you are moving.

      No, it’s because there is no definitive answer, like when BC said that the atoms “crystalized” from the energy is a guess, there is no mathematically theory as to how it happened, there is a theory that there was a field that decayed into the quarks and electrons, again no supporting evidence or math. The truth is what BC also said, we just don’t know

    the physics of fusion in stars has been known for all of my life.. I'm 69.. my dad was a nuclear engineer.. he helped build the weapons designed at Los Alamos in the early 50s.. he was teaching reactor physics when I was in high school.. this is something I have been aware of literally all my life...
    stars can only fuse elements up to iron... even the largest blue giants... this limit involves the outward force of fusion... and.. the most fundamental law of physics.. two.. things... with the same energy cannot occupy the same space... those two forces and the infall of hydrogen from gravity going inward... are exactly what creates fusion.. but the inward pull of gravity is insufficient energy to fuse elements beyond iron... my dad said the rest occur in supernovae... 4 generations to obtain all of the 92 elements of the periodic table...
    the size of stars is also limited by this two way pressure...
    big bangs require an invisible guy to squeeze stuff past the point of fusion ...
    black holes are another result of finite universes... and magic
    because the relativity equations are very clear... as mass accelerates it gains mass through kinetic energy... provable in any car crash..
    * at light speed.. the mass becomes infinite
    * it takes infinite energy to move infinite mass
    the event horizon of a black hole is said to be the point at which the infall exceeds 300Mm/sec... from which light can no longer escape
    it's either one or the other.. not both
    I'm going with Einstein
    there's no such thing as magic

      multiple direct observations say that is not the case
      in a finite universe.. there's only so much stuff... WYSIWYG
      quantum foam was hypothesized in 1957, and experimentally verified in 1964... and my laboratory the past few years... the passage of light through vacuum creates quantum foam.. when there are two sufficiently energetic sources... there's a lot of math... but it's not difficult... it's just 1... 2... 3...
      the Universe grows one hydrogen atom at a Time.. in an infinite Universe
      hydrogen atoms have one thing none of the other ones have... duration...
      they last forever ♾️
      that is what creates Time
      space is the distance between 2 things
      it requires neither making, nor a beginning or end
      Time and space.. no magic required
      the Universe grows along the Fibonacci sequence.. as all populations do

      the Planck length is calculated using the golden ratio.. the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci sequence numbers... it's a variable irrational number between 1.5 and less than 1.7... that ratio is exactly why our lovely Universe is fractal

    The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. It would appear that all the energy in this universe is being converted into space through the interactions of the charged particles that exist in it. The expansion of the universe is fueled by the interaction of the charged particles that exist in it. Electromagnetic radiation is just the neutral memory of the interaction between these charges broadcast through space but also stored in it. The fabric of space recording the record of time, using the instruments called particles. Does it sound good enough to go platinum though...

      Force transfers the energy we bring to bear from our internal state to an external state. That force can be applied to external bodies and transfer momentum internal to external, external to internal. A good example of the internal to external back to internal exchange of momentum through force is a knockout punch. That is internal energy brought to bear delivered by force to a body external to yours and that momentum is transferred by force to the internal of the body it is delivered to.
      It seems conservation of energy would apply to energy moving from an internal to an external state, as well as energy moving from an external to internal state. In this way energy cannot really be contained to a closed system. The nature of force transferring energy from internal to external states will never allow it to be contained to any particular system permanently.

      The 0s and 1s in binary represent OFF or ON, respectively. In a transistor, a "0" represents no flow of electricity, and "1" represents electricity being allowed to flow. In this way, numbers are represented physically inside the computing device, permitting calculations.
      Atoms are built from quarks, two up quarks and one down quark produce a proton. Two down quarks and one up quark produce a neutron, they are interchangeable. A neutron is unstable outside of the nucleus of the atom and will decay into a proton. Protons are stable outside of the nucleus.
      Neutron "0" represents no flow of electricity.
      Proton "1" represents electricity being able to flow.
      The carbon atom for example represents 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons. That makes up the nucleus of the carbon atom, so it represents a 12 bit byte. Each proton and neutron represent a single binary digit.
      A single carbon atom representing 666, is a 12 bit byte. If you account for particle spin you realize that these 12 bit bytes of carbon can be arranged in various nuclei alignments, to represent any combination possible within that 12 bit byte. This is just a single carbon atom.
      12 binary digits, or 3 nibbles (a 'tribble'), have 4096 (10000 octal, 1000 hexadecimal) distinct combinations. Hence, a microprocessor with 12-bit memory addresses can directly access 4096 words (4 Kw) of word-addressable memory.
      Extrapolate that concept on to every atom in the universe. The computational power makes no rational sense.
      We are a duality of self. I am just a duality of my "self and I". Self converts biological binary codes into conscious depictions, projects those depictions back to us. Just like we do with our form of binary code, on modern devices. Self observations are subjective to the individual, self projections are objective to individual consciousness.

      So here is one of the main problems of understanding..
      People have a very poor understanding of what the word 'infinite' actually means.. This is not any kind of 'fault', but just that we have evolved within the confines of what appears to be a finite environment, and we thus try to look at things in finite ways, also justifying those 'finite' thoughts. When I first approached the 'problem' I had the same difficulties, so it takes our minds a lot of effort to reach another perspective of understanding, but it IS achievable..
      Firstly, there cannot be more than one 'instance' of infinitude, otherwise a secondary 'thing' would render them both 'finite'. So we are describing a 'oneness'.. Also, it can have no 'beginning' nor 'ending' as these would also necessitate a secondary 'thing' (or the utter nonsense of a 'nothing'!), so we are describing 'eternity' when we apply 'time' concepts. Then, we have to admit that it can only be the one thing that interconnects all other 'things', and we deduce this to be 'Space', necessarily..
      All references to 'size' or 'direction' do not apply to the nature of infinitude, and thus have no relevance to our understanding of the true nature of existence. 'Measurement' has limitations.. When we point to any position in Space, we effectively create a 'beginning' to any subsequent forms of measurement, which only has relevance to the entity desiring to understand said 'measurement'.

Maybe in different bubbles they all run by the same base laws but maybe in every bubble the factors to the power and the interactions of those base forces are randomly jumbled up, and there's many bubbles that are unstable, but through natural selection, you would come across stable bubbles but it would be like nature and evolution or if babies survive to past birth and childhood to adult hood... Idk just a random theory but of course nothing answers how that started I don't understand how we will ever figure that out and honestly I'm okay with that. I've found peace with finding that it's okay to not find the answers for everything, for certain things, maybe that's the point. It's probably impossible for us in our human perspective to figure out these questions and that's okay, nature has it's ways and I'm sure it will all work out in the end or else why would it function the way it does.

      The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring :-). Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. There are 7.7 billion people on planet Earth, yet I was the only one who knew I was viewing the light and images of the universe in real time, maybe I should be working for NASA or Elon Musk :-)
      Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot be both a particle and wave. There are no space-time fantasy unions or gravity waves that can join a particle, wave and time together then bend, curve and stretch them like a rubber band. Neither time nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch time like a rubber band into space-time dimensions. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other.
      The speed of light can be slowed from 186,000 miles per second down to 38 mph by shooting a laser through extremely cold sodium atoms acting as “optical molasses” If the universe were suddenly destroyed, collapsed or fell into a black hole do you honestly think slowing down the speed of light with sodium atoms would save the earth from being destroyed, giving people on earth time to find another planet to colonize and destroy :-). Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing.
      If black holes reside in a region of Einstein's theorized space-time where gravity and mass are so dense that nothing, neither mass-particles nor electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape then how could it be possible for the entire mass of our universe to escape the unimaginable density of the proposed Big Bang? According to general relativity sufficient compact mass-density will deform space-time to form a black hole which obviously debunks both Big Bang theory and relativity! Big Bang theorists rely on red shift to support the hypothesis that the universe is expanding, the very phenomena that supports the hypothesis of a (non-expanding static universe). You can duplicate the ion thruster jets of a black hole in a vacuum using a Tesla coil or build one using high voltage-an array of magnets-a CRT-TV yoke or inductor coil. Black holes are nothing but plasma driven vortex electromagnetic fields expanding electromagnetic waves in space. Since the vortex of black holes are thought to be at the center of all galaxies they might be the very force that created them.
      Gravitational lensing occurs in all wavelengths of light including (red shift-microwave background radiation). Gravity from huge celestial objects of galaxies bend, curve and expand light giving the appearance of what Einstein wrongly theorized as time dilation-space-time-debunking the big bang. Mass from galaxies, planets and black hole electromagnet fields bend, curve and expand light giving the appearance of what Einstein wrongly theorized as time dilation-space-time dimensions. Light like all electromagnetic radiation and electricity is the result of moving electrons, as moving electrons of charged electromagnetic waves-light travel through the plasma of the universe each lump (or "quanta") of energy in the electromagnetic waves are charged then discharged to the next lump, eventually the energy dissipates causing the delay in radio communications giving the appearance of time dilation - the appearance of longer wavelengths in red shift. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other.
      If space was curved-warped according to Albert Einstein's curved-warped gravity theory, like a boat in the ocean these same gravity waves would affect time and the perfect balance in solar system orbital mechanics throwing planets off course-out of orbit in a collision course towards the sun where a planets gravity and time would increase and decrease with different velocity rates as they ascend and descend the curves of gravity waves. Using optical clocks and lasers to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing.
      If gravity is the result of mass then before the universe came into being gravity couldn't have existed simply because mass was not yet created! Galaxies with massive gravity from the early Big Bang would have been gravitationally bound like the Andromeda galaxy is to the Milky Way galaxy, the sun, moon and planets in all solar systems in the universe yet these early galaxies were able to somehow escape these massive gravitational forces continuing to expand at an increasingly faster rate. Into what, nothing? Nothing has no properties! Neither the atom, universe nor time can be created or destroyed. Albert Einstein an autistic violinist patent clerk that had access to more papers than Suzanne Somers litter box yet creates theories with more bugs than Terminix. “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time, and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end.

      The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories.
      Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-).
      It's truly amazing how the science and politics of the left are able to keep people denying reality, there are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" Revelation 22:13. Disciples, remember thy 1st commandment, thou shalt not question thy lawgiver of relativity for blasphemers are the devil's pawn. Let thee not dwell in dissension of our Lord Albert, shun them, drive them back to their jungle lair amen.

    In the beginning of this piece they say "Why?" is not a good question, but rather "How". Actually, "why?" is a very good question; a question which is continually asked in all areas of science. Just because we have no idea of the "why?" doesn't make it a bad question.
    The "how?" question is related. How did the infinitely small and hot singularity come to be is another way of putting it. Sometimes science just needs to be bluntly transparent; eg. "we haven't a clue". Yet most school text books put up a nebulous posture rather than the transparent, honest truth.

      I like your idea, and interpret it as expanding spacetime implies time expanding - and time expansion is essentially it's arrow. Hence the 'tick' of time is merely an expansion from frame to frame.
      Scientists have been really dumb in deciding initially that space was the vaccuum, and then only later finding that the vacuum has energy - essentially because one could not have a construct of space without an energy supporting it. And now they fail to take another leap to realize that time must have energy as well, and is not 'nothing'.

      So here is one of the main problems of understanding..
      People have a very poor understanding of what the word 'infinite' actually means.. This is not any kind of 'fault', but just that we have evolved within the confines of what appears to be a finite environment, and we thus try to look at things in finite ways, also justifying those 'finite' thoughts. When I first approached the 'problem' I had the same difficulties, so it takes our minds a lot of effort to reach another perspective of understanding, but it IS achievable..
      Firstly, there cannot be more than one 'instance' of infinitude, otherwise a secondary 'thing' would render them both 'finite'. So we are describing a 'oneness'.. Also, it can have no 'beginning' nor 'ending' as these would also necessitate a secondary 'thing' (or the utter nonsense of a 'nothing'!), so we are describing 'eternity' when we apply 'time' concepts. Then, we have to admit that it can only be the one thing that interconnects all other 'things', and we deduce this to be 'Space', necessarily..
      All references to 'size' or 'direction' do not apply to the nature of infinitude, and thus have no relevance to our understanding of the true nature of existence. 'Measurement' has limitations.. When we point to any position in Space, we effectively create a 'beginning' to any subsequent forms of measurement, which only has relevance to the entity desiring to understand said 'measurement'. This does not make it a feature of the nature of reality, only a desire from a Human perspective.

    Brian Cox - Why Did The Big Bang Happen? If I were to take my "HDV" hypothesis as correct, i.e. not destroyed by the masters of physics, then to the question "why did the Big Bang happen" with the logic of my hypothesis, I would say that the logic is very simple in the cyclical behavior (see Penrose) of dimensional warping changes: Big-bang is here as a sharp "lightning" interface of a) state of 3+3D flat, uncurved space-time, i.e. the curvature of all dimensions is zero, until "the end of genesis" (those curvatures) through the cross-section of the unfolding of the universe, the unfolding of the 3+3 dimensions of space-time, i.e. until b) again to the "big-cruich", when the curvatures will be smoothed out (thus the disappearance of gravity, the disappearance of other forces and the disappearance of matter as well, and the flow of time), then b) will occur again after the total smoothing out of every curvature "anywhere" to the new big-bang a). It is an endless carousel of dimensional curvature changes. However, in such a way that the smoothing is slow-gradual and the big-bang is absolutely instantaneous, an immediate change from zero curvature to incredibly high curvature (plasma, boiling vacuum) - - This interpretation can be refined to perfection with simple improvements... I like it I'll leave it for another time.

But that's not entirely true. You see a blacksphere is infinitely small it can't get any smaller that's as small as anything can get. It doesn't matter how big it is to us. The definition is correct and if space was already there then how big would that blacksphere actually be compared to infinite space smaller then a grain of sand very small indeed. So really it just depends on how you interpret the theory your perspective 🤔 and who's perspective is correct. That's how I interpret the theory. So the theory? I think that maybe it's not the wrong theory I think it's trying to make something harder than it is. If you look at it from my point of view you don't have to add anything the theory holds up and if u don't need to add anything and it adds up maybe it might have some merit to it.

Also: information on a quantum level could be observed as all matter and energy together at the point of the Big Bang, e.g as the anomaly that started the Big Bang, or: the formatting for our universe was ready.

      @@lowket Im was not talking about math. If u have a completed formatted hard drive the actual bit values in memory are all zeros and on a binary language that means zero information can be extracted from that hard drive.

      Actualy i agree with u that before the big bang there was information, what i cannot link the analogy is that the big bang add more information, formatting deletes information.

      ​@@joaoviana9643 The universe is nót a hard drive; it acts like one from the observer's point (we as humans) when thinking about the origin of the Big Bang. The universe is not a hologram, it is real to us, the observer. The most probable theory on the Big Bang is this:
      the Big Bang is the starting point of our universe, the beginning of our spacetime. The Big Bang anomaly could be a white hole: the exit point of a supermassive black hole in another universe. Supermassive black holes in our universe can in time create their own black holes and thus create other universes, and so on. We get our information at the start of the Big Bang from all the information collected by the black hole in the other universe. Our universe was already there, inside the black hole, but only formed when there was enough information to expand into the white hole, thus starting the Big Bang and our universe.
      Another theory is that of the branes, which is mostly the same theory, but where two branes collide or connect, a new universe is formed. I can imagine but of them, but only one single theory can be true and i am convinced that within a few hundred years, we will know for sure what and how started the Big Bang. Lately we've seen information got thrown back into our own universe by a black hole: czcams.com/video/tukvxwSJeaM/video.html
      My hypothesis is that this information that escaped the black hole is equal to gunpowder vapor after a gun fired. In this case, the black hole 'fired' all absorbed information into the white hole, creating a new universe. The 'gunpowder vapor' is a remnant of that proces. And in case we ourselves live inside a black hole, then there must be proof of information leaking out of our universe, which it does. This is also a popular theory, but we are talking about the Big Bang itself and the simple comparison with a harddisk formatting.
      Since space and time are interconnected, both the brane theory as the white hole theory are the most logical answers for the Big Bang in our universe, for us as observers. In the case of the connecting branes, a simple addition of the 4th dimension to the existing other 3 should have started our universe. In the case of the white hole, the anomaly in the Schwarzshield geometry should be the answer.

    Maybe the CMB is the fingerprint for our universe and defines us from a myriad of other universes throughout the vastness of infinite emptiness. Our SM and it's physics are applicable only to our universe. Each universe will have it's own unique signature and physics, which defines it from others and the dynamics, mechanics, content etc will be completely incomprehensible for our intelligence.

    Mathematics is a tool of measurement. It does not describe events, it only measures them. Then there is the question of 'interpretation', which can be done a number of ways. The genuine scientific method is deduction from necessity and plausibility..Also known as 'Occam's razor'.
    "We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances." (Sir Isaac Newton, Principia: The system of the world)
    "Some things that satisfy the rules of algebra can be interesting to mathematicians even though they don't always represent a real situation." (Richard P. Feynman)
    "Mathematics has the completely false reputation of yielding infallible conclusions. Its infallibility is nothing but identity. Two times two is not four, but it is just two times two, and that is what we call four for short. But four is nothing new at all. And thus it goes on and on in its conclusions, except that in the higher formulas the identity fades out of sight." (Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe)
    "Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality." (Nikola Tesla)
    “Science is more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking; a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. . . If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along.”
    -- Carl Sagan, May 27th 1996
    "All these fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no nearer to the answer to the question, 'What are light quanta?' Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he knows it, but he is mistaken. … I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept, i.e., on continuous structures. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included, [and of] the rest of modern physics." (Albert Einstein, 1954)
    "‘Mainstream’, ‘standard model’ or politically funded ‘scientists’ make the great claim that they are “Standing on the shoulders of giants” when the reality is that they are pissing on their graves.. - It is individuals that care about things, and thus truth is revealed to those who care enough about it.." (truth)

    Who are we to even talk about this subject in OUR language. When we don't actually speak the language of the Universe. We will never know how or why we became. We will NEVER KNOW.

    Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?
