Or is the only viable theory that the universe floats through empty space?
I know this is a dumb question, but please, any insight is useful.
SpaceTiger said:The universe just is, we don't usually embed it in a higher dimensional space. The empty space around us is part of the universe.
Pippo said:Do you mean with empty space a free space that can be occupied or do you mean: empty space = nothing ?
As the universe is not infinite what is there after the "something"?SpaceTiger said:I mean the vacuum, which, in QFT, is most certainly something.
Universal Regeneration is a scientific theory that proposes the idea that the expansion of the universe is a result of recycled matter and energy. It suggests that the universe goes through cycles of expansion and contraction, with the expansion being driven by recycled energy from previous contractions.
According to Universal Regeneration, the universe goes through a series of expansions and contractions. During the contraction phase, matter and energy are compressed and then recycled during the expansion phase. This recycled energy is what drives the expansion of the universe.
While Universal Regeneration is still a theoretical concept, there is some evidence that supports it. One example is the observation of recycled gas in galaxies, which suggests that matter and energy are being recycled in the universe.
The Big Bang theory and Universal Regeneration are not necessarily conflicting theories. In fact, Universal Regeneration can be seen as a potential explanation for the cause of the Big Bang. It suggests that the Big Bang was just one event in a series of expansions and contractions in the universe.
If Universal Regeneration is true, it could mean that the universe will continue to go through cycles of expansion and contraction indefinitely. This would have significant implications for the future of humanity and our understanding of the universe as a whole.
