    Sources Theory
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the search for peer-reviewed theories proposing a smaller, more accessible universe. Participants express curiosity about whether established scientists challenge the conventional understanding of the universe's size and accessibility. The conversation highlights a desire for links to credible sources rather than speculative opinions. It is emphasized that physics is grounded in empirical evidence rather than personal preferences or feelings about how the universe should function. The thread ultimately seeks factual information on the topic without delving into speculative discussions.

Are there any supported theories that call for a smaller, more accessible cosmos?

Is anyone important suggesting that our fundamental understanding might be so wrong that we have an incorrect idea on the size and accessibility of the universe? I am asking because I was thinking about how the size of the universe + the light speed limit is the creators way of separating the species like at a zoo. Which is kind of a depressing idea :( Soooo in the spirt of physics that fits my preference of how the universe SHOULD work, provide a dude with some links.

Edit :While reading the rules I saw that over speculation is not allowed. Please do not speculate on the merit of these theories, just provide some links to sources or explain the theories yourself :) THANKS

Physics does not deal with how people feel the world should work, it only deals with how the world actually works. By definition, theories on subjects that are beyond the realms of our current study of physics are speculation.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
