AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores how the presence of intelligent species can alter the fate of the universe compared to a universe devoid of such beings. It posits that intelligent species could potentially influence cosmic events, such as the expansion of the universe following the Big Bang. While intelligent life may reconfigure matter and energy to meet their needs, it cannot escape fundamental laws like entropy and the eventual heat death of the universe. The conversation raises the question of whether intelligent beings should intervene in cosmic processes or allow the universe to unfold naturally. Ultimately, the fate of the universe remains a complex interplay between intelligence and cosmic laws.

what is the difference of fate(fortune or future) of a universe
for universe consisting of intelligent species(living beings that can think) and for universe null of the intelligent species.

This question is important (i think) because the intelligent species can divert away from the usual track of universe.

More clearly let us consider an example of big bang.

a)The point A big bangs to expand to sphere B, and finally to sphere C. This is if we consider if there are no intelligent species

Now we consider the big bang includes the intelligent species.

b) The point A big bangs to expand to sphere B. The intelligent species play the role to stop further exapansion to C and limits them sphere B.

Look , how the fate of the universe can change with presence or absence of living beings.


In universe there are lot of rocks , gases and clouds, and also the species (like humans) that can feel and think, and perform.
so what is the solution of this problem?

No matter how intelligent we are I don't see us overcoming entropy and the heat death. At the end of the day all our intelligence has given us is better ways of reconfiguring matter and energy to suit are needs, we can't create either or those from nothing.

Don't touch anything. The fate of the universe hangs in the balance.
 

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...
