In some String theory that I read in Scientific American, the big bang was never anything close to a point, but rather a previous universe existed, which collapsed to a small size, then expanded again.
Phobos "The modern view still only has 3 dimensions of space."
Except in string theory which has 11 dimensions, most spatial. The concept of curved space still has not penetrated the assumptions that the Euclidian geometry of our everyday world implies. There is no center or many centers to...
Big Bang is quite a misleading term. Big unwind might be better. Consider the torque when all the universal energy was circling around in a meter of space!
The idea of a center is implicit in the concept of space having finite size which implys walls, but is wrong: curved space and...
'IF' the final state of our Universe is a collapse, then all Black Holes will meet and in the final instant of the last ones meeting, our universe will dissappear into a giant Black Hole. With no effect from our universe left, a new Big Bang might occure, until then the interior of a presently...
Duality of Gravitational Field
Gravitational Relativity by Ronald A. Bracale
Gravitational Relativity 01: Negative Gravitation.
Euclidean or Newtonian space-time exists only in the mind as an abstraction of the universe, an idealized form. Its description does not exist in the real...
Images from Hubble
Upon thinking about this, I realize that the above comment about images from Hubble being clear, proves that gravitational waves must be faster than light, as light is faster than sound. If they propagated atc, space would be full of them and these curvatures would cause...
Gravity as curvature in space
Gravity as quantized gravitons is only a reflection of the electro-magnetic particle/wave fields. General relativity stated that gravity is the curvature of space itself! If a change in that curvature is created by mass which cannot move faster than light, then...
