Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a claim regarding the origin of the universe, specifically a hypothesis involving pions and their relationship to the Big Bang. Participants are examining the mathematical framework presented by one individual, which they find questionable and difficult to interpret.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes a claim that the universe originated from a neutral pion that split into two charged pions, suggesting a relationship between the mass of the universe and the mass of a pion using various equations.
  • Another participant criticizes the claim as "math salad," arguing that the use of pions is fundamentally flawed and that the equations presented lack meaning and coherence.
  • Concerns are raised about the conservation laws being violated in the proposed model, particularly regarding the decay of pions into other pions.
  • Participants express skepticism about the validity of the mathematical proof, suggesting that the equations do not represent Einstein's theory accurately and that the variables used are not properly defined.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on the validity of the original claim and the mathematical framework presented. There is no consensus on the interpretation of the equations or the scientific validity of the hypothesis.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the lack of clarity in the definitions and assumptions underlying the original claim, particularly regarding the use of pions and the mathematical relationships proposed.

First, I have no idea where to post something like this so I apologize if it's in the wrong forum.

Second, Hello.

Third, I was wondering if someone could give me a little guidance regarding what seems like a very dubious claim for the existence of the universe.

Basically the person is trying to overwhelm me with math. Math is not my strong suit, but the equations look dodgy.

His basic claim is that before the Big Bang the universe existed as an uncharged pion which spun off into two charged pions and then the universe was created. (I've already explained the orders of magnitude difference between a pion and the estimated mass of the universe. He's sticking by his proof.)

I guess the best way to explain what he's trying to explain is to post it.

the first particle, before the event of the Big Bang was a neutral pion of Plank density. It split into two opositely charged pions of half the Planck density. Each one of these created a universe, of net positive and negative matter respectively.

Let M = the mass of a universe.
Let m = the mass of a charged pion

One can determine M in simple relation to m, if we assume the Hubble Constant to be:
H = [G*m^3*c]*pi/h^2 = 2.2044E(-18)s^(-1) = 67.98 (km/s)/Mpc
This agrees with experimental results, to better than +/- 10%.

v = H*R --> v/H = R Hubble's Law

Using a simple substitution into Einstein's equation:

0 = (1/2)*H^2*r^2 -(G*M)/r -(1/6)*[-3/r^2]*c^2*r^2

0 = (1/2)*H^2*(c^2/H^2) -(G*M*H)/c +(1/2)*c^2

0 = c^2 -[G*M*H]/c

[G*M*H]/c = c^2

M*H = c^3/G

M = [c^3/G]*(1/H)

Recall that we are letting H = [G*m^3*c*pi]/h^2.

M = (c^3/G)*[h^2/(G*m^3*c*pi)]

M = (h^2*c^2)/(G^2*m^3*pi)

QED

I can't make heads or tails of what he's trying to show and he's trying to use that as some sort of vindication of his hypothesis.

Again, I apologize if this is the improper forum. Any help would be appreciated.

This is "math salad." It contains absolutely no meaning to anyone -- probably not even the moron who wrote it.

First of all, pions are particles composed of two of the lightest quarks. They have a mass density somewhat similar to that of an atomic nucleus, if you can even meaningfully speak of their 'density' at all. Certainly they don't even approach the Planck density!

If this person is using the word 'pion' in its accepted scientific sense, his words make no sense. If he's using the word 'pion' in some new way that he has not defined, he's a moron for choosing an existing word, using it a new way, and not defining it.

Futhermore, pions don't decay into other pions, as this would violate a number of conservation laws, including the one which everyone knows about, the conservation of mass.

The mathematics portion of his "proof" is garbage. There's really no better way to describe it. I have no idea what he thinks Einstein's equation is, but that ain't it... at all. Einstein's equation is a tensorial equation, the basis of his theory of general relativity, and this is just... meaningless symbols strung together.

I also have no idea what some of his variables even mean (r is certainly not a scale factor, since he seems to be implying it's equal to c/H, with units of distance, whatever the hell that means).

From what I can tell, this person's highest intellectual achievement might be grade-school algebra.

The short verson of warren's post is that you can't just take two equations and combine them because they both have the same letter in them. That's not how it works.
 
Thanks, that's what I suspected.
