In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of multiple universes overlapping and the limitations of the Big Bang theory in explaining the infinite space and matter outside of the observable universe. The conversation also touches on the reliance on mathematical solutions in astrophysics.

Might multi universes overlap? Might there be limitless space to infinity in which Big Bangs unsynchronized in time overlap and have done so through eternity past? What is it about Big Bang theory that makes impossible the inifinite of all space versus the limit of that space which has expanded from the Big Bang? Why can't a Big Bang occur with matter and space outside it's expanding sphere? Can such matter meet?

Hi Dave! Welcome to PF. The problem with that idea is it imposes a background over which it is overlayed. A bigger problem is it introduces a non-casual influence over the observable universe. And that introduces the even bigger problem of explaining how the 'edges' overlap without violating the Copernican principle.

I would tend to think those issues are mainly a matter of the mathematical context space/time/matter is described as though doesn't necessarily invalidate the ideas.

They are mainly mathematical matters, but that is the most pressing issue in astrophysics. We rely much more heavily on mathematical solutions than observation - which is almost always less reliable.
 

1. What is the Big Bang theory?

The Big Bang theory is a scientific explanation for the origin and expansion of the universe. It proposes that the universe began as a single, infinitely dense point and has been expanding and cooling ever since.

2. How did the Big Bang happen?

The exact cause or trigger of the Big Bang is still a mystery. According to the theory, the universe was once in a state of extreme density and temperature, and a rapid expansion occurred, giving rise to the universe we know today.

3. Is the universe infinite?

The universe is believed to be infinite in size, although the observable universe is limited by the distance light has had time to travel since the Big Bang. The concept of infinity is difficult to understand, but current evidence supports the idea that the universe has no edge or boundary.

4. What existed before the Big Bang?

The Big Bang theory does not address what existed before the Big Bang event. Time and space as we know them did not exist before the Big Bang, making it difficult to speculate on what may have existed in that state.

5. How do we know the Big Bang happened?

The Big Bang theory is supported by a wealth of evidence from various fields of study, including cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements, and the observed expansion of the universe. These pieces of evidence, along with mathematical models, continue to support the validity of the Big Bang theory.
