Hi, I would like to ask HOW you become a theoretical physicist. By how, I mean what classes are needed? What is college like for one studying to become a theoretical physicist?I would like to specialize in Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Of course this all depends on what college you attend...
Thank you. Using what you said, is it correct to come to the conclusion that the topology of the universe isn't quite known but the geometry has been found to be flat or a Euclidean Geometry?
So I'd like to ask a question that generally gets me confused, so if one could clarify it for me that would be great.
The universe is flat, in the sense of geometry and topology, so when physicists refer to there being more universes, they refer to them as being bubbles as well as ours. Is...
Hi, I was just wondering if someone could explain to me in detail what cosmologists mean when they say "the universe is flat."
To my understanding it is the geometry and topology of the universe they are referring too. But is space itself a sphere? And everything inside space is geometrically...
Well everyone has a different viewing of things and I respect yours. Me personally can see that the Big Bang tries to explain how the universe banged into existence. The singularity is part of this theory to me. But it's how I'm taught. I do agree though that yes physics does break down when it...
Saying there was no 'singularity' would indicate that the universe was formed from nothing. Which is a very big misconception when talking about the Big Bang. There was essentially a singularity according to the Standard Theory of course. A singularity is thought to be at the core of a black...
Hey dude not to say any of these people are wrong cause they aren't but they're making it a little complicated.
Black holes are formed when an object like a massive star collapses in on itself due to the amount of gravity pushing on it. The reason the Big Bang didn't become a black hole is...
