SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of "anti space," which is proposed as a theoretical counterpart to conventional space, drawing parallels to the existence of anti-matter in physics. Participants explore the implications of negative energy and the potential existence of anti-space within black holes or wormholes, suggesting a universal symmetry. The conversation highlights the paradox of existence from nothingness and the necessity of opposites for the universe's formation, emphasizing the interplay between positive and negative dimensions in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts, including space and time.
  • Familiarity with anti-matter and its properties.
  • Knowledge of quantum mechanics, particularly the Fourier Transform.
  • Awareness of black holes and wormholes in astrophysics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of anti-matter in modern physics.
  • Explore the concept of negative energy and its theoretical applications.
  • Study the role of black holes in the context of universal symmetry.
  • Investigate the Fourier Transform and its significance in quantum mechanics.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, astrophysicists, and anyone interested in theoretical physics and the philosophical implications of existence and space.

has anyone considered an "anti space"?

i think there is an equal and opposit to most things in physics, has anyone considered an "anti space"?

Its a basic property of math that most equations work exactly the same with positive and negative numbers. There is much debate however on the reversibility of physics equations in real life. Things like negative energy and anti-gravity don't seem to have a physical manifestation yet (that we have found).

In any case though, there are lots of negatives that do have physical manifestations. Anti-matter, for example.

Anti-space is a toughie because by definition anything outside our universe is by definition unobservable. But people are still thinking about them. Maybe "anti-space" is what is inside a black hole or wormhole?
 
Like a total Universal opposite symmetry !
Anti-Big Bang in a mirror, cool !
 
its a mind game, if you think about the possibility of there ever was nothing, we could not be here, unless you have two opposits that cancel each other, but can be separated to make a +,-. what other way is there for our universe or us to exist

No offense, but that was REALLY funny !
I mean, you claim existence out of nothing -
which is a totally mystereous and paradoxical
concept that doesn't seem to have any possible
reasonable explanation. And yet, you limmit that
paradoxical existence with laws of reason.

Yeah, yeah... I know - if such things make me
laugh I should probably get out more...

Peace and long life.
 
it wasnt suposed to be scientific drag, but for the bb to happen there must have always been somthing, my sugestion, that maybe we live in a bubble in "null space", that is say a combination of + space and -space that is neutral.its only when an anomaly occures that separates the two that the space we know exsists, absolute nothing is an imposibility, the above is just one way to seemingly have nothing, but obviously there would have to be energy:smile:
 
An opposite to space?

In a sense Momentum is an opposite to Space, or rather to position. In Quantum Mechanics it is the Fourier Transform quantity related to positiion.
