If time and space are infinite how is it possible to have a point of singularity (Big bang) within infinity?

Question

If they are not infinite, then time and space has an end.
Therefore we are living in a shell.
Then the layers of this shell would consist of no time and no space.
Witch of course is bolderdash, because space is infinite.
I have a substanal theory that makes sence on how the universe all began.
Would you consider this theory to be Nobel Prize adequate?
Or is a point of singuarlity possible to exist with in infinity?
Your choice.

Answer 1

May be space is infinite only on certain directions, not in all, and the limits of space is the non infinitive direction is the singularity

Answer 2

Infinite is Mans way of explaining that We cant see the end, but everything has a beginning and an end. The Universe is so huge that It is impossible for Human Beings at this time in History to do anything but guess. And I'd figure You won't win a Nobel Prize if You dont know how to spell " which".

Answer 3

First of all, Space and Time are not infinite. They are finite and have a begining. I know this sounds unimaginable but I thought so too till I read Stephen Hawking's " The Begining of Time". It made sense. Think about it.. If Space really was infinite then there would be infinite number of stars and any light reaching us from a long distance would have been deflected/ reflected from at least another star as there will be no line of sight between the origin of that particular Light and earth. That would mean that our whole sky will be filled with light from those infinite stars and it should feel like we are on the Sun. That would mean we wouldnt exist. Hence the space has to be finite. If you didnt understand then please the lecture by Stephen Hawkings on "Begining of Time'. Sorry to say your basic assumption for your theory itself is false....

Answer 4

you are way off base, I am not even sure that the big bang is a singularity, I dont see hw that woudl preclude infinite space, and many scientists DONT believe there is infinite space or time.

You seem like a smart interested person, but I think your notions of cosmology are a little naive. Take some courses in college and learn what the current thoeries are before you propose your own.

Answer 5

perhaps our universe, our reality, has limits and is finite. i dismiss the big bang theory as just a theory. but consider if all we see and know came into existence when acted upon by an outside force. a force that exists outside time and space as we know them. a force that created all we see and know solely for our consumption and that we are to never know (at least not yet) how this all works. i've been told i would have to have a lot of faith to believe such a notion. but it would require just as much faith to believe that all of this just happened by some cosmic chance. so to answer your 1st question, i haven't a clue. 2nd question, yes, you can be awarded a nobel award for a wordy theory on just about anything as long as you can convince enough people to agree with it.
3rd, it's a question of semantics. call it what you want, it is what it is.

Answer 6

wow, first slow down and learn how to spell then learn the basics of the big bang. It created time and space there was nothing before it. space and time were created and are expanding, yet they are infinite it is difficult to make sense of this. there is no way you are going to win a Nobel prize for an idea with no mathematical support.

Answer 7

bullhonky. This isn't the only universe. Space is too big to focus on singularities. Before you even begin to figure out a single thing, an explosion of more info will knock you off your thinking throne. I'd say just sit back and keep learning.

Answer 8

You're question is illogical.

You said "IF they are not infinite" - which is OK, because using the word "IF" makes it hypothetical.

But then you turn around and say that the consequences of this "if" statement is "bolderdash, because space is infinite."

In a logical "arugment" or debate, you can not say "If something is true, then this or that, but it's not true because the if clause is false"

Anything you say after this point becomes mute, because you're starting off contradicting yourself with a logically internal inconsistency.

So, if you want to present a theory, or if you want to debate a point, make sure you don't logically contradict yourself.

For instance, to make this perfectly clear, I might say "If it were true that red birds never fly at night, then that would imply that you could never do something (fill this in with anything you want, since this is only an illustration). But you CAN do (this "something"), because red birds do fly at night."

Do you see how I started out by saying "if they DON'T", and end by contradicting my initial "IF" statement?

A good debater or logician would never do that kind of thing.

Therefore, your entire argument is fallacious (erroneous), since it is based on poor logic.

Answer 9

Big Bang is only a theory! I believe in an intelligent design (God-the Creator)! How else can u explain the intricacy of creation? God decided when in infinity to have a period called "time." It would take a lot of time & space here to try to describe it all, c more at http://www.gotquestions.org search for ur keyword.
U seem to be a real intelligent person! God Bless You.

Answer 10

Its infinate however since its expanding it will contract when it contracts all the way we will have another big bang then itll star expanding again
