Is there a relationship between temperature and gravity

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the potential relationship between temperature and gravity, particularly in the context of the early universe and the evolution of gravity shortly after the Big Bang. Participants explore theoretical implications and seek clarification on the nature of this relationship.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that gravity "evolved" after the first 10^-34 seconds of the universe, questioning whether gravity existed before that time and if there is a relationship between temperature and gravity.
  • Another participant challenges the assertion about the timeline of gravity's evolution, seeking clarification on the basis for that claim.
  • Links to external resources are provided by one participant, possibly to support the discussion or provide additional context.
  • Another participant acknowledges the complexity of grand unified theories and suggests that there might be a relationship between temperature and gravity, but emphasizes that the nature of this relationship is not straightforward and depends on the specific context being considered.
  • A suggestion is made to move the discussion to a more specialized forum for deeper exploration of the topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the existence and nature of a relationship between temperature and gravity, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference complex theories and historical contexts without fully resolving the assumptions or definitions involved in the discussion of temperature and gravity.

I know that it wasn't until the first 10-34 seconds after the birth of the Universe, that gravity " evolved" and at the time the temperature was 100 million trillion trillion degrees. Does that mean that within the first moments even before this time, gravity did not exist? And if so, then does that mean that there is a relationship between temperature and gravity?

I mean I'm sure it's pretty negligible, especially with those temperatures. But the question still remains...

how do you know that?

well... grand unified theories tend to be a little complicated... sure there might be some relation between temperature and gravity... but i guess it depends on what kind of relation exactly you are looking for.

It would be better to ask this question in the "beyond the standard model" forum. Cheers.
