The discussion centers on the compatibility of the Big Bang Theory with the First Law of Thermodynamics. Participants explore whether energy and matter were created during the Big Bang or existed beforehand. It is established that under certain quantum conditions, energy can spontaneously arise from 'nothing', challenging traditional interpretations of thermodynamics. Furthermore, the First Law of Thermodynamics does not apply within the framework of General Relativity, complicating the understanding of energy conservation in cosmological contexts.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, cosmologists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the intersection of thermodynamics and cosmological theories.
The first law of thermodynamics doesn't work in General Relativity.onlyatheory said:How was the big bang possible considering the 1st law of thermodynamics. Was all energy and matter created during the big bang or was it previously somewhere else?
has the energy and matter from the big bang existed forever?
