Spontaneous Universe: 10D Static Universe from Quantum Fluctuation

In summary, the conversation discusses a paper by T. R. Mongan that explores the possibility of a static 10 dimensional universe arising from a quantum fluctuation. The paper also quantizes the Friedman equation and shows that M-theory has implications for our universe. Mongan, who lives in Sausalito, may welcome correspondence about his work.

A static 10 dimensional universe can arise spontaneously, by a
quantum fluctuation?

Very neat! See also his earlier paper http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0103021. He quantizes the Friedman equation. This is admittedly a simplified model, but it shows that M-theory(or at least its dimensionality!) has something to say about our universe yet.

Mongan lives right across the Bay from me, in Sausalito

from where I sometimes go for walks I might even have a line-of-sight (except for Angel Island)

I am betting that he'd welcome some correspondence----since he is a freelance he may not have as much contact and discussion as he would like

1. What is the Spontaneous Universe theory?

The Spontaneous Universe theory proposes that our universe originated from a quantum fluctuation in a higher dimensional static universe. This fluctuation caused the creation of our 4-dimensional space-time and the Big Bang, leading to the expansion and evolution of the universe as we know it.

2. How is the Spontaneous Universe theory different from the Big Bang theory?

The Big Bang theory suggests that our universe was born from a singularity and has been expanding ever since. The Spontaneous Universe theory, on the other hand, proposes that the universe has always existed in a static state and was triggered into expansion by a quantum fluctuation.

3. What evidence supports the Spontaneous Universe theory?

While the Spontaneous Universe theory is still a relatively new idea and has yet to be fully tested, some evidence that supports it includes the observation of cosmic microwave background radiation and the flatness of the universe, both of which are predicted by the theory.

4. What are the implications of the Spontaneous Universe theory?

If the Spontaneous Universe theory is proven to be true, it would drastically change our understanding of the origins of the universe and the nature of space and time. It could also have implications for other areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics and relativity.

5. How does the Spontaneous Universe theory fit into the current understanding of the universe?

The Spontaneous Universe theory is still a new and developing concept, so it is not yet fully integrated into the current understanding of the universe. However, it offers an alternative explanation for the origins of the universe and may provide new insights into the mysteries of our universe.
