A universe before the big bang

In summary, Stephan Hawking states that there could have been a so called "Pre-Universe" or a universe before the Big Bang. Now Black holes he states can lose their mass because matter is somewhat able to escape. Thats why when you look at pictures of black holes you see that there is matter streaming at the poles at high speeds. Now when to much of this matter is ejected out the smaller the mass of the black hole. Now it is "said" that when the black hole finally loses all its mass and then implodes.

Or it could be the merging of other black holes to create a massive black hole. Well its just a thought and if you guys have anything to say go ahead. This is just one of my bizarre ideas.

That matter is not being ejected from the black hole, it's made of the stuff it is feeding upon.

A black hole does not implode, more like explodes. A black hole radiates away mass until hardly any mass remains. How much is not certain, but a good guess is around a Planck mass [~10E-08kg]. At that point it gives off one last tiny burst of radiation and evaporates althogether - at least in theory. This takes a very long time so don't expect to see any photos anytime soon.

Hawking's concept is interesting, though highly speculative. The universe more strongly resembles a time reversed black hole: it began as a singularity that rapidly expanded to enormous size and has continued to expand since.

Are you saying that black holes actually lose all their mass and then evaporate?

Is this all based on Hawking Radiation or is there other theories supporting this?

How would black holes evaporate when Hawking Radiation happen on the event horizon and it's not really part of the actual black hole?

If a black hole kept consuming mass, then it will never evaporate right? Since the rate of mass loss is less than the rate of consumption.

Yes.

Through Hawking radiation.

Energy conservancy. The black hole sacrifices the mass equivalent required to power the radiation.

Eventually it will run out of food and the CMB temperature will fall below the temperature of the black hole. But, be patient. This might take awhile - like a day short of eternity. Super massive black holes will be around long after the last star in the universe winks out.

What's that process called again? There's name for what's going on when you see energy and light from the poles of a black hole...

According to theory, black hole jets originate in the accretion disk surrounding the event horizon. Infalling matter behaves much like a fluid as it approaches the black hole, forming a disc similar to the rings of saturn. As it spirals into be consumed, it gets entangled in the intense magnetic / electrostatic field of the black hole. A portion of this highly accelerated matter escapes through the poles creating jets.
Jets are a common phenomenon in objects such as protostars, neutron stars, and even galaxies. The velocity of jets is proportionate to the escape velocity of the central object. Hence, jets from black holes are spectacularly energetic, traveling at nearly the speed of light. Jets from more pedestrian objects, like protostars, travel at a much more sedate pace.

Jets, that's what it was, thanks.

How does a black hole sacrifices mass in order to power the radiation? Nothing can excape a black hole, how does it supply mass in the form of energy? If you're talking about Hawking Radiation, that happens outside of the actualy black hole and has nothing to do with the black hole itself. How would the black hole itself actually lose mass?

Or the universe could have emerged from a primordial vacuum by fluctuation...meaning a dead universe gave birth to our universe

I read somewhere that in Hawking Radiation, fluctuations happen all the time and sooner or later one of the fluctuations will look like a Big Bang

I think Smolin is still counting on it with his Cosmological Natural Selection theory.

Yes, nothing is actually escaping from those "jets". They occur due to the same force of gravity sucking matter in. To put it closer, its like using the Earth's own gravity, to "slingshot" and escape being pulled into it, and even having a net gain in energy from the occurrence. But the matter/energy never crosses the event horizon, else it could not escape. Yet since the matter can leave the area of a black hole with a net gain in energy, it is somehow robbing the black hole of this (energy). But how? I suspect a black hole never actually loses energy. I suspect energy is robbed from other things that are destined to be pulled in, not already in it. What does this mean there is absolutely no "food" for a black hole? ha ha now we are getting into interesting ground! Bring on the theories, I will now bite my tongue (as hard as it is to contain myself), I don't want to give away what i am working on in the field of gravity right now -toooo much
gravity...

The jets you see called "quasars" is matter being ejected at close to the speed of light, even black holes have magnetic poles of which the particles are ejected but in a more concentrated way, which is why u can see them. But b4 the matter makes it to the jets it gets whipped around the event horizon, forming the accretion disc, which is why it appears to be coming directly from the black hole itself. My confusion about black holes is if its orginally there due to extreme mass in such a small area, how can it just dissolve away via radiation? My only conclusion would be that's its radiating mass into pure energy and is the only thing that doesn't apply to the rules of physics considering everything else is trapped by the gravity. I also believe that micro-scopic black holes are in a completely different class as the stellar, medium, and super massive ones. so much so that i would even consider the micro-scopic black holes to be black holes in the first place. I think black holes will always be and won't ever dissolve away, there is a singularity but we won't see it since the theory states that light can't escape, so the light will not hit our retinas, even if we were standing next to it. i would like to believe the universe was born, and there are many others being born as well, hence the m theory

I feel that before the singularity, Fr. Goreges Lemaitre called "the primeval atom", erupted as the big bang, this singularity, must have had an origin.
Since this singularity DID NOT, occupy a three diminsional time space enviornment, it must have occupied an alternative enviornment. Note, I am not using the Word UNIVERESE, becaise there WAS NO UNIVERSE.
I propose that the alternative enviornment where our progenitor singularity emerged from was a vast TWO Dimensional UNIVERSE, which we are unaware of, and it with no interaction with us...It could be that Big Bangs are being produced by the google(not the search engine) by that two dimensioal universe, that we are unawere of.

If you look at the theory of 'strings' would these (fundamental? things) (presuming they are (?) massless) even be effected by gravity? would they or could they possibly exist in a singularity? If they weren't effected by gravity... they could radiate off too in the form of something like (x-rays)? Could they disappear off into some other dimension (sounds like a sci-fi question, sorry) or to rephrase -What would happen to these other dimensions? Do they break down? Is there any work being done on applying string theory models inside a black hole?

Else; does the incredible forces at work create a state where even these strings are no more? Do they from as one dense oscillation or something? I would like to see some ideas as to what happens to string models in a singularity. String theory has me very confused, but my idealistic thinking edges me slowly towards it... I am wondering if a black hole state is the same as a pre-universe state also.

I personly like the idea of the multiverse, where every songle possability that could of happen appears in a super state and creates a parallel universe, and if the conditions where right, at the big bang the four forces could merge together and when they reach the plank size, they begin to grow again.

Sigh, try introductory calculus.

You stated in your post #4, Chronos, that black holes evaporate by Hawking radiation. How long would it take an exterior observer, in theory, to observe Hawking radiation?
 

What do scientists believe existed before the big bang?

Scientists believe that before the big bang, the universe was in a state of singularity, meaning that all matter and energy were compressed into an infinitely small and dense point. However, the concept of time did not exist before the big bang, so it is difficult to speculate about what may have existed before it.

Is it possible to know for sure what happened before the big bang?

No, it is currently not possible for scientists to know for sure what happened before the big bang. The laws of physics as we know them break down at the moment of the big bang, making it impossible to fully understand or observe what occurred before it.

What evidence supports the theory of a universe before the big bang?

There are a few pieces of evidence that support the theory of a universe before the big bang. One is the observed expansion of the universe, which suggests that the universe was once in a very dense and compact state. Another is the existence of cosmic microwave background radiation, which is leftover radiation from the big bang that supports the idea that the universe was once in a hot and dense state.

Could there have been multiple big bangs and universes before our own?

Some theories suggest that our universe is just one in a series of many universes, and that the big bang may have occurred multiple times in different "pocket universes." However, this idea is still highly debated and there is currently no concrete evidence to support it.

How does the study of a universe before the big bang impact our understanding of the universe today?

Studying the possibility of a universe before the big bang can help scientists better understand the origins of the universe and the fundamental laws of physics. It also opens up new avenues for exploration and discovery, as there is still much we do not know about the pre-big bang universe. Additionally, it challenges our current understanding of time and the concept of a beginning of the universe.
