Nth Quantisation and Cosmology

In summary, the article discusses the concept of 4th quantisation, which takes the WDW equation to 3rd quantisation and further to 4th quantisation in order to understand the spawning of universes from false vacua in a multiverse. The conversation also mentions the use of inflation and QFT in curved space to explain early universe phenomena, and questions why 4th quantisation is being used separately in addition to inflation to account for the end state of universes from false vacua. The speaker notes that these concepts are highly speculative and that inflation based on QFT in curved space is a solid framework for understanding the early universe.

This article on 4th Quantisation

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.0259v3.pdf

Takes the WDW equation to 3rd Quantisation to understand the spawning of universes from false vacua from a Multiverse

And Furthermore goes to 4th Quantisation to investigate multiverse interactions

Is this the best way to understand how false vacua lead to spawning of a universe or a multiverse, ie is this best practice physics, mainstream physics

Are you familiar with inflation? Much of the early work done on inflationary phase transitions in which the false vacuum decays into our observable universe was done throughout the early 80's and is based on QFT in curved space. No need to even talk WDW.

I am aware of the inflationary cosmologies, but I was wondering why they are using Nth Quantisation to explain away Universe interactions

Why is this Quantisation approach used separately in addition to inflation to account for the end state of universes from false vacua

I don't think I can be of much help here -- WDW, quantum cosmology, and multiverses are all very speculative pursuits. Inflation based on QFT in curved space is a comprehensive, solid framework that helps us understand the early universe. I would say, then, that you don't need to use nth quantisation at all to understand the inflationary universe.

I find the concept of Nth quantisation and its application in cosmology to be a fascinating and promising avenue for further exploration. The article on 4th quantisation, which builds upon the work of 3rd quantisation, provides a new perspective on the spawning of universes from false vacua and the potential interactions between multiple universes in a multiverse.

However, it is important to note that this is still a theoretical framework and has not yet been experimentally verified. While it may offer valuable insights and potential explanations for cosmological phenomena, it is not yet considered mainstream physics. As with any new concept or theory, it will require further testing and validation through experiments and observations.

That being said, the approach taken in this article is a valid and rigorous method of exploring the complex and mysterious nature of the universe. It opens up new possibilities for understanding the origins and evolution of our universe and provides a framework for investigating the potential interactions between multiple universes in a multiverse.

In conclusion, while the concept of Nth quantisation and its application in cosmology is still in its early stages, it holds great potential for advancing our understanding of the universe. It is not yet considered mainstream physics, but it is a valuable and legitimate avenue for further exploration and study.
 

1. What is Nth quantisation?

Nth quantisation refers to the process of quantising a classical field theory multiple times, resulting in a higher level of complexity and potentially new insights into the underlying physics.

2. Why is Nth quantisation important in cosmology?

Nth quantisation is important in cosmology because it allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the early universe and the processes that have shaped it. By quantising the fields multiple times, we can explore the dynamics of the universe at a deeper level.

3. How does Nth quantisation relate to string theory?

Nth quantisation is closely related to string theory, as both involve the quantisation of fields and the study of fundamental particles and their interactions. In fact, string theory can be seen as a type of Nth quantisation, with the added dimension of extended objects (strings) rather than just point particles.

4. Can Nth quantisation help us understand the origin of the universe?

Nth quantisation can potentially shed light on the origin of the universe by providing a more complete and detailed understanding of the underlying physical processes. However, it is just one of many approaches in cosmology and may not provide a definitive answer on its own.

5. Are there any practical applications of Nth quantisation?

While Nth quantisation may not have direct practical applications, the insights gained from studying it can have practical implications for our understanding of the universe and potentially lead to technological advancements. For example, understanding the dynamics of the early universe could inform future developments in cosmology and astrophysics.
