However, we learn by observation that our Universe is expanding.


Yes, and the theories were to say that expansion will slow down, and then the universe will shrink again. Except that I seem to have heard somewhere that in fact the expansion of the universe is accelerating instead of slowing down !!!

sen-no-sen wrote:If we take the film of time backwards we realize that the farther we go back, the more the universe was dense and warm, until it reached a point where the whole Universe was contained in a space infinitely hot and infinitely dense, that's the Big Bang.


But made up of what, and in the middle of what?


sen-no-sen wrote:because it implies that the Big Bang was an explosion, which is not the case.


Well if at the start the universe was concentrated in an infinitely dense and hot point, why did it suddenly expand?

sen-no-sen wrote:If space and time appeared with the big bang, we can say that it is impossible to envisage a "before".


Impossible to envisage a before, I do not see why, each thing having a priori a beginning and an end. But how can we suppose that there could have been a beginning, since that means a limit before which there would be .... nothing. It is inconceivable, and the term bewitching, is indeed the good term, I would even say fascinating, because it is purely and simply impossible to be able to imagine "the infinite".


sen-no-sen wrote:
1) "Before" the big bang, our universe would enter into contraction (Big crunch), from this contraction there would have been a "rebound" (Big bang) and the universe would then have started expanding again (current phase).


Yep, this is just a theory, and which still does not explain anything, especially since it becomes an endless expansion / contraction loop, except that a priori it is invalidated by the fact that the expansion of l universe would accelerate !?

sen-no-sen wrote:3) An infinite time passed, that is to say that it would be impossible to "arrive" at the zero moment ... a kind of Zeno paradox!


Yeah but infinity is impossible to materialize for our little brains of human being !!


sen-no-sen wrote:4) The universe would have come out of black holes ...

5) The Big bang would come from a quantum matrix creating multiverses.


These are just theories, we will never know !!

sen-no-sen wrote:
And if this big bang took place at a specific point, what was around it?


It is a mistake to think that, the Big Bang is an expansion of space time, not an explosion.


Oh sorry : Lol:
But always the same, a dilation means that something is getting bigger, and to define that it gets bigger there has to be an end to this thing. However, there is not supposed to be any !! And if there is one, what is there after ...

sen-no-sen wrote:The Big Bang did not therefore "take place" in a precise place. Also pay attention to the notion of "around", it implies the notion of a pre-existing space, apart from space and time (space-time) its appeared jointly.

Certainly, but I said precise point to imagine that if it went well, it went well somewhere, or nowhere, it changes nothing in the problem anyway, if the universe was only one point, what was around?

Yes but especially if there was an intervention, it does not change the question, because it is necessary that the intervention has been made !! So who, when, how, why : Mrgreen:

Absolutely, but "universal law" means that the basics have been laid, so that still doesn't answer the questions :?

It's good because there is no possible answer that it makes you dizzy. In my opinion, that's why religions have taken over on all these questions, because man cannot remain unanswered, so he invented it ...

Ah, yes, but here we have an NLC problem!

Because if there was no "before" and the zero point is fictitious, then we would have to find a new theory that integrates everything we have discovered (since the theoretical model works very well in reality: A bomb, chemistry, etc.) and here we are not in shit : Mrgreen: : Cheesy:

I did not say that, I just note that we are there, and able to question ourselves on the 3 fundamental questions!

If yes, then there are bound to be balancing interactions! And there again ... In the name of what, who etc ...

However, the theory of multiple universes (developed by
Hugh everret and its derivatives, is far from being far-fetched.

The Big Bang was made up of energy, at a theoretically zero volume and at an infinite temperature (I insist on it theoretically, because in reality there was certainly a limit).
To be in the middle of something you need a preliminary space ... which did not exist!

Well if at the start the universe was concentrated in an infinitely dense and hot point, why did it suddenly expand?


This is still unknown, why a volcano explodes?




Impossible to envisage a before, I do not see why, each thing having a priori a beginning and an end.

You have to know what we are talking about, what is time?
Has time always existed?
Has time had acceleration or even deceleration phases?
The notion of beginning and end requires time, except if we admit that time appeared at a time 0, there can be no "before", unless invoked a pre-time, or an a-time , a kind of eternity that escapes all calculation.

The fact that there was a universe in contraction does not invalidate the fact that our current universe is expanding.
Not having all the data, we do not know if this is possible or not.

Infinite is synonymous in some way with impossible, so you're right we can't imagine something like that.

You should never say never, nor always (damn I said!)
A few centuries ago people said that and yet so much has been discovered!
We know, for example, that atoms do not have their own mass, who would have imagined that!

Certain like Edgar Gunzig thinks that the quantum vacuum would be in a way the cradle of the universe, and would have constituted the famous "cradle".

The notion of origin does not come into play in Obamot calculations.
Besides, no one is really able to define time, at the present time the majority of scientists defend the notion of a "block universe", a minority favors "presentism", yet the both run into difficulties, the first to quantum physics, the second to special relativity.

I do not understand the concept of balancing interaction?

The worst part is that we can't even get depressed on it, nothingness, the unnamable, can't be imagined, so we'll have to be depressed on something else ... growth forecasts for example! : Mrgreen:

Ahahahah, this one is very good, why? My passport is expired? : Cheesy: You know, explain it to me, I know more or less where I come from, but the origin of the Universe, no matter how much I explain it ... My brother tried well though, well that's the job:

This is an idea from our chemist ... Starting from the fact that this parallel world theory exists: he often tells me that "If we create an interaction here, something inevitably happens elsewhere" along the same lines, or "If there is war there there should be instant interaction here" (and so on) ... and add "That we would do well to do the minimum (there he thinks not only of pollution and waste of resources, but for everything) because we do not know the consequences of the boomerang effect ..." : Shock: He always amazes me : Cheesy:

I understand it, because he sees it under the eye of chemical interactions translating to the atomic plane! Electron exchanges, catalysts and everything ... And there is no reason to waver: quantum logic is relentless (if you can say it!) "What must happen, must happen, impossible to stop it, the forces involved are colossal»

This is an idea from our chemist ... Based on the fact that this parallel world theory exists: he often tells me "That if we create an interaction here, something necessarily happens elsewhere"


Theoretically there would be no reason for a hypothetical parallel universe to interact with ours.

It's not exactly what he thinks ...

How it would be possible, I don't know (I'll have to ask her : Cheesy: )

And yet a professor at the Uni and a researcher at the Battelle Institute, he also knew Charpak well!

Knowing him, I know he is the type who does not rule out any hypothesis!

Bein maybe he doesn't know! : Mrgreen: : Cheesy: : Mrgreen:

And precisely, knowing him, his thing is "precautionary principle"...

He thinks that humanity will go towards successive peaks (peak oil, uranium peak, rare earth peak, etc. and that its insatiable bulimia will make it exhaust everything, without ever being able to stop) ...

And he does not see how man can stop this given the current negligence! And the fact that he is very immature ... Unable to learn from what is happening to him, and especially that he is guided by primitive instincts against which he cannot resist: jealousy, self-centeredness, search for power, statelessness and other greed (all that in general, in outline ...)

He is very pessimistic about the future of humanity! Paradoxically, he thinks that humans must leave our solar system to go to the one next to us and where it appears, there would be a habitable planet!

But it's been more than two centuries back and forth! : Mrgreen: : Cheesy:
