Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of dark energy and its potential link to a primordial mother-universe, as proposed by a new participant. The scope includes speculative theories about the origins of the universe, the nature of dark energy, and possible implications for black holes.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • A new participant proposes a pseudo-theory suggesting that dark energy could be linked to a primordial universe with inverse properties, such as antigravity and antimatter.
  • Some participants challenge the plausibility of this idea, arguing that it does not align with current cosmological understanding and that the Big Bang represents the beginning of time and space.
  • One participant suggests that any idea is plausible but emphasizes the need for mathematical support to make the proposal meaningful.
  • Several participants provide resources and references for further reading on cosmology and related topics.
  • A participant notes that personal theories are not permitted on the forum, leading to the closure of the thread for further discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the validity of the original proposal. Some participants express skepticism and challenge the ideas presented, while others acknowledge the exploratory nature of the discussion.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in the original proposal, particularly the lack of mathematical backing and the challenge of reconciling personal theories with established cosmological principles.

Hello all,

I'm new and this is my first post here, I don't expect my idea to be plausible because I'm more of a curious than a scientist.

I was thinking a lot about dark energy and it's origins lately, and have come up with this pseudo-theory that the Big Bang could have occurred in a primordial universe (a mother-universe of some kind) which is defined by the exact inverse properties as the universe created by the Big Bang. I mean the mother-universe would have antigravity and antimatter, and so on. The post-Big-Bang universe would then have been pushed to expand due to the dark energy of the universe in which it occurred. It would also have created spheric planets and stars due to it's own gravity.

Could this be possible?
Could this tell us more on the nature of black holes?

EDIT: also, if this is in the wrong section, I am very sorry.

Your proposal, while creative and thoughtful, doesn't really make any sense. So the answer to these questions is pretty much 'no.' It's not meaningful to speak of this-universes, current, physical properties as due to a a previous universe... if that were true they wouldn't be different universes. Also, remember the big bang was the beginning of time as-well as space, so there isn't really a 'before' either.

I recommend you read up on cosmology, the big bang, and dark energy (wiki is a great place to start). Also, I don't see how these things are connected to black-holes---is there a particular way you were thinking?
 
I see this is your first post.
Until you establish yourself around here don't be surprised if you don't get many responses.
You will get more responses once you establish that you are really here to learn and not just stir up trouble and controversy.
until then you would probably be better off asking more conventional questions first.
 
Any idea is plausible at this point although I'm not sure your idea does anything to actually teach us about the Big Bang unless you can provide the mathematics.
