AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the origins of the first universe, questioning how it came into existence if universes can collide and split. Participants acknowledge that this topic is highly speculative and lacks concrete answers. There is a consensus that current scientific understanding does not provide a valid explanation for the beginning of the universe. The thread concludes with a note that it will be closed due to the lack of serious sources on the matter. Overall, the origins of the universe remain an open and unresolved question in cosmology.

TL;DR Summary
Sorry for the noob question:


If universes can collide to make universes and split to make new ones, where did the first universe come from? Do we have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

That's a very, very, speculative hypothesis. And no, we have no idea how everything started.

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Rutgers finds a transparent Einstein Cross - apparently a dark matter "halo".'

The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...

Thread 'Big Bang and Infinite Universe'

Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
