Universe can surf the Big Rip; Nature article

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a theory proposed by Ivan Seeking regarding "Phartons," hypothetical particles that could inflate the universe significantly. This theory was previously shared with various institutions and has been around for over five years. Despite initial skepticism from some forum members, it is suggested that the concept has intriguing implications worth considering. The original post includes a link for newcomers to explore the theory further. Overall, the conversation highlights unconventional ideas in cosmology and their potential impact on our understanding of the universe.

Yes, I have indigestion?.. BBBUUUURRRRPP!

Thats better, I remember making a post some years ago, and I sent this post to a number of institutions and Universities, it put forward a theory of Phartons, and these Phartons would inflate the Universe like no other GAS!

I will post it here for all the newbies to give it the once over, go here to see this, bare in mind this has been around for more than five years, initially after sending it to 'all of the above', I got a lot of stick from certain forum owners, but nevertheless it does contain some interesting after-effects! :wink:

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
