What is the Egg Shell Theory of the Universe and its implications?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the "Egg Shell Theory of the Universe," which posits that the observable universe is only a small remnant of a larger mass that was expelled during the Big Bang. Participants explore the implications of this theory, particularly regarding the accelerated expansion of the universe and potential methods for measurement and testing.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that the universe we observe is merely a small remnant of a larger mass that was blown away during the Big Bang, which could explain the accelerated expansion.
  • Another participant inquires whether the Egg Shell Theory has been published in a scientific paper, seeking references to support the discussion.
  • A different participant claims that the idea has been proposed to well-known astronomers but has not received any responses.
  • One participant argues that well-known astronomers may not respond because the theory lacks testability, providing a link to the concept of the observable universe for further context.
  • Another reiterates that the idea has been proposed but emphasizes the need for publication before further discussion can occur.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the validity and testability of the Egg Shell Theory. There is no consensus on its acceptance or the feasibility of testing it.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the lack of published work on the theory and its implications for scientific discourse, highlighting the challenge of testability as a significant limitation.

Dear reader,
Of course I searched the site to see other persons discussing the the egg shell theory, but I did not find it.
So, perhaps someone can direct me to the subject.

I am interested in the theory that when the universe was created in a big bang, the only part of it is the part we observe at this time.
It could be that the larger part of the total mass was blown away first. We then are only the small remnents of this blast.
This can also explain the accellerated expansion, because we are attracted towards this huge blown away mass.
Well, I would like to see what other readers have already discussed about this idea, and what can be done to perform measurements to test it.

Has this idea been published in a scientific paper? If so, please point us to references.
 
Hi,
No, the idea has been proposed to well known astronomers, but no answer has been received yet

When it has been published, then we can discuss it here.
