Do scientists believe that for every occurence in the Universe there must me something to be the cause for ?

Answer 1

If the laws of physics have the same forms in all frames of reference than the cause of interaction is confirmed.
In the case of this question there must have been someone who caused this fine question.
Other wise it would have never existed.

Answer 2

No, not necessarily. You're trying to get to the "First Cause" argument, which is fallacious, because any first cause must itself have a first cause according that mindset.

"Modern quantum physics is sometimes interpreted to deny the validity of the first premise of the cosmological argument (that everything has a cause), showing that subatomic particles such as electrons, positrons, and photons, can come into existence, and perish, by virtue of spontaneous energy fluctuations in a vacuum. Though such occurrences do not violate the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy, Bell's theorem shows that these are impossible to predict.

Modern physical cosmology is neutral on truth of the second premise (that the universe "began" to exist and is not a result of infinite regression of causes), asserting that while spacetime as observed tends toward a singularity giving the universe an observed finite age, this does not discount the possibility that the stochastic processes that govern the early evolution of the universe actually cause the universe to be eternal. In particular, the lack of a consistent theory of quantum gravity has meant that there is no physical theory and no meaningful prediction can be made about what character the universe had before the Planck time. Indeed the supposed singularity from which the universe is said to have originated in the classic Big Bang picture is actually a physical paradox - an indication that current theory is not an adequate description. This era of the universe and its associated energy regime remains one of the unsolved problems in physics and as such does not lend itself either to the existence of a "first cause" or lack thereof.

Recently, newer, speculative theories have been offered by a number of theorists, but there is no scientific consensus as of yet on whether the universe necessarily began to exist or whether it is eternal (for example, "big bang," expansion of cosmos, then contraction, then "big crunch," then a "big bang" again, once every 30 or 40 billion years ad infinitum).

A commonly stated workaround for the cosmological argument is the nature of time. The Big Bang is said to be the start of both space and time, so the question "What was there before the universe?" makes no sense; the concept of "before" becomes meaningless when considering a situation without time. This has been put forward by Stephen Hawking, who said that asking what occurred before the Big Bang is like asking what is north of the North Pole (however, this comment was made in reference to cosmology and not theology)."

Answer 3

I am not sure if anyone knows what scientists believe and that includes the scientists. I am not sure if what you are asking is thought out fully. No one really knows what all the Universe consists of to accurately answer that. We do not know if the universe may have other dimensions that may make theories applied to what we experience on earth not applicable. I believe the question refers more to "with every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". According to physics and science on earth that is the case and has been proven but we cannot be so narrow minded in our thinking to believe all we know is infallible. Humans are arrogant and would like to think they have the capacity to figure everything out. That is why science and religion creates answers or theories so it is all in a nice package all wrapped up and served to everyone else. What answers we have to the mysteries of the universe vary in their being rediculous to being almost believable. It is o.k. not to know it all and surrender to the fact none of us are really in control of it all. Our knowledge is limited to a spit in the ocean.

Answer 4

Yes, like laws of motion. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Everything has a cause.

Answer 5

I believe so..yes. At least they try to find and discover what the cause is. Actually, there are plenty of cosmic happenings that they HAVE found a cause for.

Answer 6

Yes, which leads me to believe that the universal past is infinite...

Answer 7

They believe that there was a big bang and life was able to be perfectly produced. I don' t know about you, but I feel that in order to believe in science's theory you would have to believe that you can take a deck of cards , throw them in the air , and have them , not only stack perfect on top of one another , but in perfect order as well..... impossible

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

yes
