-x+x=0 therefore the Universe doesn't need a cause?

Question

Math can't be applied in this way to describe the real world. Math is used as a model for the physical world, not the other way around. You can't just pull random equations out of the air and expect them to hold water.

It's the same with the old "think of a sphere, it doesn't have a beginning or an end and the universe is like that" arguement. There is no physical evidence that shows that time is some how looped onto itself. The application of this equation is just pure non sense.

A more plausible explination is that matter's wave-like nature could cause the physical universe to cancel itself out as we reverse time. This is a decent arguement for an eternal universe but we have yet to find any plausible mechanism to make the universe fold back in on itself.

Answer 1

2+2=4, therefore the Universe does need a cause.

That was a joke, which however still shows your 2 statements are illogical.

Right now, the best data suggests that the universe shrinks to a singularity. The issue of cause is unknown and probably unprovable. It can be materialistic or it can be purposefully created.

I think it takes less faith to believe in a creator, than, a universe appearing without a cause, life being created, and matter becoming conscious.

Answer 2

With the fact that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, not slowing or stabilizing, in fact, it is more likely that the universe will tear itself apart in time. It will never return to being a singularity as expected by the cyclic universe theory (expanding/contracting cycles).

However, the inflaton theory, which operates on the idea of the quantum vacuum, states that vacuum fluctuations would occasionally exceed a given (but as yet unknown) value and that the vacuum in that vicinity would collapse into a lower vacuum energy state, and the vacuum potential would be released as a massive surge of particles and spacetime. The balance would be maintained by the fact that the virtual inflation would have to be balanced (by the indeterminancy principle) by an equal pertibation elsewhere in the vacuum, with a value of the same magnitude but opposite sign of the pertibation that caused the given universe.

Our universe could literally be giving birth to an uncountable number of universes, under the known laws of quantum physics.

Answer 3

x^2 + y^2 = z^2; therefore, the universe shouldn't produce any more barry manilows? This is like the old way of thinking that says that linear algebraic pseudo-parabolas can be hyperbolically applied to non-spherical conical elements where the hyperthyroid cubics are meant to serve as placeholders of the infinite dimension of translucent lustrousness with quarks being the basic foundation of ellipsoidism. A more plausible explanation, though, is that time is akin to the heisenberg uncertainty principle of Plank's constant where the universal sum of divsibility is undivided for so as long as integral properties of fractal primaries hold.

Answer 4

But entropy would have a non-existent universe.
