| i believe the big bang theory and model for the creation of the
universe is mankind's best answer to the ultimate question of
origin. i believe the big bang model may not have all the pieces
and there may be gaps, but overall the concept and idea is very
plausible. also this theory has been tried and tested by hundreds
of scientists and others and still stands as our best guess at the
ultimate origin.
we do not know what caused the big
bang.
my idea of the big bang is that of an explosion
type event. something happened to release a very large amount of
energy (from our perspective). there was a large amount of heat
and energy and everything in a small area, at a very high density. with the release
of this energy came expansion and cooling. as the universe cooled
and became less dense, distinct parts and energies formed and were
able to separate. the four forces (strong, weak, electromagnetic,
gravity) were created. elementary particles combined into bigger
complex systems and these atoms into the elements which make up
everything we know and see. the size and age
we predict of the universe (12-20 billion years) is determined
from the expansion of the universe. all the galaxies and
everything we see seems to be flying away from each other. the
expansion is equal in every direction. from this we deduce that at
one point everything was closer together if not completely
together. we can backward plot the expansion by reversing it
conceptually to see where the beginning might have been. its as
if we are inside a huge explosion. an "explosion" so big and huge it
lasts for billions of years, which is a long time from our
perspective. but if we were "bigger," say we were on a
scale to perceive the universe as if it was a single cell in our body, a billion years
would be nothing to us. at some level of scale, the earth circling the sun a billion times would seem to
happen almost instantly. just as we observe electrons orbiting the
nucleus billions of times a second, each one of these orbits would
be an "earth year." all that said to explain that the
universe as we know it could be an active reaction, process or explosion type event inside
which we are existing. i am also very very interested in that
which can survive singularity. that which can survive passing thru
a black hole. i believe that black hole type objects exchange
energy or matter (not as we know it) with other universes. these very
dense singularities could resemble what is perceived to be the
initial conditions for the big bang. maybe
the universe is a single cell in a bigger organism or entity and
has a function and/or supplies other cells (other universes) or
the bigger organism with processed energy or matter. maybe the universe is one
of many "cells" that process matter as we know it into a
form of energy and transfers this energy to another cell
(universe) via black hole type objects. may 25, 2003
i have no reason to believe our
universe is unique
im leaning towards a multiple universe scenario. be them a
"single" continuously expanding and collapsing (consecutive/
sequential) universe or a multiple universe scenario (simultaneous/ parallel
universes as foam bubbles). in both of these scenarios universes the
universes exchange energy/ matter (maybe not as we know it)
via black hole singularity type objects
