AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a proposed reinterpretation of the Big Bang as a self-propagating matter-antimatter annihilation wave, rather than a singular explosion. However, this idea is deemed fundamentally flawed as it does not align with current observations and established physics regarding the Big Bang Theory (BBT). Participants emphasize the importance of adhering to well-supported scientific models, referencing resources like "An Introduction to Modern Cosmology" by Andrew Liddle. The thread concludes with a reminder that personal speculation is not permitted, and users are encouraged to engage with mainstream cosmological concepts in appropriate forums.

I’ve been thinking about the Big Bang not as a single explosion, but as the beginning of a self-propagating matter-antimatter annihilation wave — where energy from the first explosion creates matter again, which continues reacting with antimatter, causing the expansion of space to still be part of the original chain reaction.
Is this idea fundamentally flawed, or does it overlap with any existing speculative models?

The big bang wasn't an explosion. The physics of the big bang is well understood. See An Introduction to Modern Cosmology by
Andrew Liddle, for example.

Personal speculation is against the rules of this forum.

It's fundamentally flawed, as such a model doesn't match our observations about the current and past state of the universe. As PeroK said, take a deeper look into what we know about the BBT and how we know it and you'll see why we model the big bang the way we do.

Thread locked, since personal theories and speculation of this nature are not allowed here at PF. If you'd like to make a new thread in the cosmology forum asking about the Big Bang Theory as it is understood by mainstream cosmology, please feel free to do so.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
