Does Gravity from Other Universes Affect Our Universe?

AI Thread Summary
In the context of a hypothetical multiverse, the discussion explores whether mass from other universes can exert gravitational attraction on mass in our universe. This concept is linked to ongoing research into why gravity is significantly weaker than the other fundamental forces. One proposed theory suggests that gravity's perceived weakness may stem from its ability to interact across universes, unlike the other forces. The potential implications of such interactions could manifest as observable deflections in our universe. The topic invites further exploration of theories, such as those presented in Lisa Randall's "Warped Passages."

In the hypothetical multiverse, is it possible for mass in other universes to be attracted to mass in our universe?
 
Space news on Phys.org
That's the idea. Physicists are trying to explain why gravity is so much weaker than the other three fundamental forces (electromagnetic-, strong- and weak force). One theory is that gravity only appears to be weaker since it can move between universes, whereas the three other forces cannot.
 
I recommend reading Lisa Randall's Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions.

if it attracts mass in our universe, then we should see the deflection in our universe.
 

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Rutgers finds a transparent Einstein Cross - apparently a dark matter "halo".'

The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...

Thread 'Big Bang and Infinite Universe'

Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
