Never was a Big Bang - The universe has infinite age

[BoyNextDoor]

Which makes way more sense to me than all the backflips to make inflation work and the invention of dark matter to balance the equations.

Glad that is settled.

My Thinking???

Light passes at a speed and times in one direction; mass is apparently indivisible, when was the Big Bang is irrelevant and how old is the Universe is unknown; from which we arrive at the precise time of understanding!

Scientology ...

The calculations for the age of the universe from big bang cosmology are on firm foundations these days.

Of course there was no beginning. And there will be no end. Those are human terms. The 'universe' is a human term. 'Space' and 'time' are human terms.

Things just are, always have been and always will be. Humans have an incessant need to compartmentalize and name things.

So it really is turtles all the way down.

I remember it just like it happened yesterday. Or maybe last week. I remember something going bang!

So I actually read this paper last year. It relates a speculative but compelling means of resolving the big bang singularity. An issue with the popular account is that the quantum corrections which are the subject of this paper do not themselves provide an alternative explanation for dark matter. Rather, in this paper calculations rely on a "quantum fluid" which is taken to be a graviton condensate. In a previous paper, the authors discussed the graviton condensate as an alternative to dark matter. This is potentially problematic, as there are multiple independent lines of evidence for cold/hot dark matter. I would be interested if these quantum corrections to the Friedman equations can be generalized to cases other than those involving quantum fluids.

Asking what was before the big bang and the creation of the universe is like asking what is north of the north pole. There was no time or space so any equation will result in either 0 or infinity.

We're in just another bubble of the multiverse.

Infinitely more universes are hotly scattered out there.

When we outgrow this universe, we'll find others to fuck over.

I don't see how that would negate the existence of dark matter.

"A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”

The frog is satisfied, and they set out. But in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”

Replies the scorpion: “It’s my nature…”

I miss Never.

I miss Sheldon's sister.

 

[Hypoxia]

Replies the scorpion: “It’s my nature…”

Same as quantum froth.

This is not really news.

The incompatibility of quantum physics and gravitational physics (the latter essentially requiring a big bang) has been recognized for almost a century. I'll wait until this is further develop to form an opinion. It may take a resolution of M-Theory before we really know anything, if that ever really happens.

i learned something new.

Thanks.

I like a lot of froth on my beer. After that everything is relative and it fades into a dark hole.

There was a big bang. It's a theory coz it can't be proven beyond any doubt. But... we know, there was, a big, bang, that, created, everything.
