Besides getting married [Mrs is now watching me] at the ripe old age of 30, the greatest thing I have ever did was in 1974, when I had my 3 month long service leave from the company I worked for than. I was looking for something "different" to do, and came across a small advertisment in the...

Hi Chronos: What speculative scenario do you suggest to explain why the universe exists, or for that matter, why we exist, also? http://www.phys.utas.edu.au/physics/aip_tasbranch/program/Abstracts/2012f%20Krauss-9August2012c.pdfI'm not saying the speculative comments of Alex Filippenko or...

I was only a young teenager at the time, but I loved "The Outer Limits" as silly as some episodes were...:biggrin:

You are speaking of t+10-43 seconds? Again, speculation as I said in my previous post, although I like the idea of eternal Inflation, but as yet still speculative. What do you guys think of the following scenario... https://www.astrosociety.org/publications/a-universe-from-nothing/ A Universe...

I have plenty of respect for Sean Carroll and his general cosmology knowledge, but speculation is just that: Nothing wrong of course in speculating as that is generally the first step to any legit scientific theory. I like to speculate myself that the BB is simply the back end of a BH from...

I agree, as I said to Drakkith in the following... Perhaps I have not put it clearly enough, and my use of extrapolation back to t=0 was wrong. I also realize that the further back we go, the less certain of conditions we become, but particle accelerators such as the LHC have taken us pretty...

That would obviously be great! But we need to proceed one baby step at a time. :smile: As I said earlier, a mission to Europa was being considered around the time the New Horizons was proposed: NASA could not do both, so the Europa mission was pidgeon holed. In my view, the first thing that...

I totally agree with your statement that the BB says nothing about the how or why spacetime came into existence, or evolved, but from my understanding, and as encompassed by the BB, it does say that space and time had a beginning. I also understand that our understandings, maths, laws and GR...

Hi Drakkith: Yes, I certainly understand that at some critical value, the maths blows up: This is at t+10-43 seconds, and the region where quantum effects take hold as I understand it. Extrapolating back to the instant of the BB, is presumed as the beginning of space and time, except of course...

I totally agree with the international co-operation bit, but I certainly hope you are wrong with your several decades prediction! Two things I would like to happen before I kick the bucket...final confirmation of Life beyond Earth, and Men setting foot on Mars.

I'm saying space and time, [spacetime ] had its beginnings as we understand them at the BB, and which we are able to reasonably describe and assign the laws of physics and GR to, at t+10-43 seconds. There is no before according to the BB.

I'm not sure I understand what you are inferring. As per the BB model, space and time had a beginning as we know them, and that can be applied at t+10-43 seconds. Our first fundamentals did not evolve until around t+10-33 seconds when the hypothetical Superforce started to decouple. These...

My choice of the greatest Sci/Fi movies are... 2001: A Space Odyssey: The Day the Earth Stood Still: 1953 version. War of the Worlds: 1953 version. Contact: Mission to Mars: Forbidden Planet: Gravity: Interstellar:

Hopefully, just an hiatus before its up again running on all cylinders. I personally believe a fully united effort by most nations of the world, would be helpful...But I'm an optimist. :wink:

The BB was the evolution of space and time, as distinct from matter,[in the first instant] is the important point being made.
