Can anyone explain the beginning of the universe?

Question

I'm sick of hearing how our universe originated from some collision of branes in an 11 dimensional space. Maybe it did. Maybe millions of universes exist. But you still have mass&energy obeying the laws of physics, however far back you look.

How do you explain the beginning? Something must transcend time and space. How do you do this without saying God?

Answer 1

Well what scientists say is that time and space are just products of this universe. When the universe was created so was time and space. In essence, they believe branes are beyond the realm of what can be considered time and space and thus different physics laws apply beyond what is your universe. As for mass and energy obeying the laws of physics, they don't actually believe that. Even in the quantum mechanical world, to not go beyond the universe at present, laws seem to be frequently broken.

This, of course, is what they theorize; not exactly my cup of tea. I still don't quite comprehend, (neither do they) the workings of some of the theoretical suppositions that they have gotten through the abstraction of mathematical complexities.

Answer 2

See the first September issue of Time magazine for a good handle on this. Don't worry about branes or 11-dimensional space -- all of that is strictly hypothetical, and not even to the point where it generates testable theories. You can, if you like, posit a deity to have created the thing in the first place, and established the rules by which it runs, but that leads to no useful (or even testable) predictions, so there is no point in bothering with it.

Answer 3

The existence of energy is a tautology because energy is existence (they are the same thing) and because existence has no alternative (nothing that doesn't exist exists). The physical expression of that tautology are the random fluctuations of energy in vacuum. Universes occur when these fluctuations occur in constructive superposition with a magnitude and with a density great enough to form an event horizon around itself. A universe is born, in other words, from a statistical anomaly. Once the primordial energy of the universe had fallen inside its own black hole, it could not disperse back to a more probable distribution by normal thermodynamic means. So, in order to relax some of the energy became particles of mass (such as leptons and quarks) and some of it became momentum or momentum flow, and some of it became space by which the particle separations could express the potential energy relating to the forces acting between the particles. Since then, energy (mostly in its matter form) has been engaged in the creation of ever-higher emergent properties from linkages and permutations in earlier and simpler properties. An early example of that was the creation of hadrons in the early universe from the association of three quarks by the strong nuclear force. Much later examples include such things as life, consciousness, and philosophy.

Answer 4

Once upon a time, 20 billions of years ago, all matter
(all elementary particles and all quarks and
their girlfriends- antiparticles and antiquarks,
all kinds of waves: electromagnetic, gravitational,
muons… gluons field ….. etc.) – was assembled in a “single point”.
It is interesting to think about what had surrounded the “single point”.
EMPTINESS- NOTHING….???
Ok!
But why does everyone speak about EMPTINESS- NOTHING in
common phrases rather than in specific, concrete terms?
I wonder why nobody has written down this EMPTINESS- NOTHING in
the form of a physical formula ? You see, every schoolboy knows that
is possible to express the EMPTINESS- NOTHING condition
by the formula T=0K.
* * *
Once there was a “Big Bang”.
But in what space had the Big Bang taken place
and in what space was the matter of the Big Bang distributed?
Not in T=0K?
It is clear, that there is only EMPTINESS, NOTHING, in T=0K.
Now consider that the Universe, as an absolute frame of reference is
in a condition of T = 2,7K (rests in relic radiation of the Big Bang ).
But, the relic radiation is extended and in the future will change and decrease.
What temperature can this radiation reach?
Not T=0K?
Hence, if we go into the past or into the present or into the future,
we can not escape from EMPTINESS- NOTHING .

ok...your not going to believe that this is coming from a 13 year old...but it is. Billions of years ago there was just empty space (hence the name Space) where there once had been thousands of stars.

You see, when stars die they either collapse and turn into black holes and suck in everything, including light. Or they collapse and leave small bits and peices of remains...such as dust and chunks of rock.

Within the first few years, gravity began to take it's corse and start pushing the remains together. These became the ten planets. Now are you paying attention? 10 planets? that can't be true...or is it. Theory states that when the Earth was still hot from its early spinning and rotation around the Sun, it came into the orbit of another smaller planet. when they collided the Earth still remained, though smaller, but unfortinatly the other planet disapeared from the star map. But with out this collision...we would not see the moon every night. when these planets collided it left remains around the Earth. But sence the Earth span much quicker back then, the remains began to pack together, just as the dust did for our planets. sooner or later...we had the moon.

But back to the Earth. After it was created it was just all molten rock...until it hit the other planet, which slowed Earth's rotation and revolution. The planet then began to cool. Was their enough for life to begin on the Earth then? NONONOOONONONOOOOO! Their was not enough oxygen and no WATER!! We now need the little thing that life began in. WATER! But where did the water come from? one word. asteroids. It has been discovered, from what very little resourses we have, that water came from asteroids. Technichally ice came from asteroids but you get my drift. after the Earth was hit by these large and small asteroids for years and years...there was enough water to begin...

LIFE!

the end...i hope this was of help to you...=)

Answer 6

matter at a very highly active dense state reacts differently then mater and energy in our state of being. The fundamental law of physics remain intact, and i propose that the laws exist before and after the "big bang" you speak of. however because we live in this time and space we do know know what the laws of physics are for a time and space like the big bang, but that was not the beginning just the far reaches of what we now know of. There is no start and no finish. time and space go on infinitely.

as with all matter of this like a highly unfalsifiable idea as "god did it" will always haunt this corner because god by his own description is unknowable but by faith. so if one seeks to disprove him it is impassible because all it take is one person to say he exists and no one then knows which is right. you can no more say that god exists or doesn't not exist then you can say i am not standing behind you invisibly recording what you are doing. because all it takes is me to say "I am there" and you can not prove me wrong.

Answer 7

YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO KNOW MY AGE FOR ALL THESE THINGS. 11 IS PRETTY YOUNG BUT I AM OPERATING ON BY DAD'S ID
HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU WANT THROUGH THE INFORMATION I HAVE.

The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions.
In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lemaître's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance.

The big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery.

Although the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions.

BEST OF LUCK.
