    Bubble Theory
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a theory proposing that the universe exists as a giant bubble, floating in a larger reality, akin to a bathtub or sink. This theory suggests that time within this bubble operates differently compared to the external environment. Participants reference string theory, particularly the concept of "brane" theorists, who posit that our universe may be a three-dimensional bubble within a four-dimensional space. The conversation highlights a blend of speculative thought and scientific theory, inviting deeper exploration into the nature of the universe.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic cosmology concepts
  • Familiarity with string theory and its implications
  • Knowledge of dimensionality in physics
  • Awareness of theoretical frameworks in modern physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research string theory and its implications for the universe
  • Explore the concept of branes in higher-dimensional space
  • Investigate the philosophical implications of a universe as a bubble
  • Study the relationship between time and dimensionality in physics
USEFUL FOR

Philosophers, physicists, and anyone interested in theoretical physics and cosmology will benefit from this discussion, particularly those exploring the nature of the universe and its dimensions.

someone told me to post this so i could get more of an intelectual veiw on it. i was talking to someone i work with about our veiws on the universe and possible natures of it. i came up with a theory of us living in a giant bubble. the universe is a bubble and and though it seems giant and endless it isnt. now this bubble is actually floating around in the bathtub or sink of some other giant world exactly like our own. for every certain amount of time that passes here, the smallest fraction of that time passes there. so we live life just wating to pop, and that pop will decide the end of the universe. i know its stupid but its just our deep talk stuff...

Well, if our Universe were entirely composed of air and water, this would be tenable. As it is, some string theorists (more specifically, the "brane" theorists) are indeed postulating that our Universe may be a three-dimensional "bubble" in four-dimensional space. Have you looked into string theory at all, spikebrdr?
 
no i havent, what is it?
