Cerenkov's latest activity

Yes, I read it. Given the turn of events in this thread I think it best if I take up Bandersnatch's idea and read up about the concepts...

Thanks Bandersnatch, Umm... if questions arise from the reading of this (as I'm sure they will) what's the best policy? Bring those...

I would like to second Cerenkov's suggestion here. As another member who finds themselves reading these threads with a mix of...

Hello and thank you PAllen. You reply has touched upon another aspect of singularities that I've been grappling with. I'm...

Thank you Peter, I appreciate that you are doing your best here, being rigorously accurate in your descriptions. But please consider...

Ibix, If I keep referring to the initial singularity as point-like, that'll be because the first, unmodified diagram which I posted...

It's late here and I must log off. But I thank you both for your patience and perseverance. Until tomorrow. :smile:

That's helpful... I think. Couldn't the blue line that I placed at the extreme left hand edge of the modified diagram be considered as...

Hmmm... to properly understand what you meant in those two posts I'd first have to understand what proper distance and comoving distance...

Yes, forgive my loose usage of the word 'see'. I'm aware that 'seeing' through the opaque plasma of the very early universe is not...

Ah... now I might be getting it. Are you saying that any finite volume of our universe will have an initial singularity which is...

Yes, I tried to capture what you've since said Peter by converting the point like singularity of the original diagram into a spacelike...

Thank you Peter, Let me see if I'm following you about our observable universe having a point-like singularity. An observer in...

My thanks to Peter Donis and Ibix for their help. The following diagram seems to show that the universe originated from a point-like...
