What is your alternative theory about the UNIVERSE?

Question

If how big is it, is there an end or is it infinite, how did the universe began, who made the universe, are there any living organisms outside our planet, is it intelligent, what do you think about dark energy, the black hole, and so much more. Make your own theory. I want to know what is your mind capable of.

Answer 1

I am thankful for the contributions of all of the scientist that came before me but I think it's just plain wrong and the death of true science to just blindly accept what the science establishment is dishing out. Your question is very good in that it is very open ended and allows input from many perspectives. Science leaves a whole lot to speculation. It is this frontier which fuels the quest for knowledge and it is a wonderous journey. Each person sees the universe from their own unique perspective and if we can respect eachothers opinions and keep and open mind, we may learn something new that we would have never thought of ourselves.

I personally believe in God. To me, this is the only way things make sense. The more I learn about the universe, the more improbable, it seems that this was an accident.

I have a problem with todays standard model that includes a vast quantity of dark matter and dark energy. It just seems like we need to go back to the drawing board with our theories and not accept this much of a cosmological fudge factor. I hope we can either find some tangible evidence of this dark matter or find a more coherant theory. Either way, it would make me feel better to know that we have somewhat of a basis for our theories.

Answer 2

I accept the current estimates of the size of the universe, nobody made it, that is a dumb concept. There are other living entities in this universe, and they are intelligent. Dark energy is a construct of science to explain the unexpected continuing expansion of the universe, I believe it does not exist. Black holes are common place, and fairly well understood. I have a problem with the big bang theory in that science tracked the galaxies back to a point in time of 10-43 second, at first glace it made sense, but now the waters have been muddied, it is now claimed that the first particles did not appear until some 600,000 years later when the singularity had expanded considerably, if this is true, then the first estimates were far off base, it has to be one, or the other. If the first estimate was correct it seems apparent to me that all of the energy in the singularity must have condensed from potential energy that existed in the vacuum of the infinite void from which it all came, problem solved. However, science maintains that a total void does not, or never did, exist. How can they rule out such a possibility? To me, the idea of it all coming from nothing, energy is really nothing, it has no mass or density, and if matter is considered to be another form of energy, it is not a stretch to claim that energy is another from of nothing.

I think the universe we occupy and all it's properties - distance, time, gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear force, mass, energy - are all consequences of a far larger multiverse. One with many dimensions and properties that we can not currently discern. The actions and interactions of these higher level properties and dimensions allow for the existence of our 'universe', such as it is. Our entire universe and all that it is comprised of is a 'side effect' of these higher level interactions. The fundamental constants that we take for granted such as time (or change), space (or distance) and energy in all it's various forms familiar to us, do not exist in other dimensions. There are other fundamental properties at work in those unknowable realms. What is 'real' in those dimensions might pass through the 'stuff' of our universe as if it were a ghost. In the same fashion that neutrinos pass through the earth or any solid object without interacting with it.

Picture a place with no time. Where that property and any possible idea and meaning of that property 'time', do not exist. Now picture some how, the first instance or idea of a thing called 'time'. A thing that was never present, never known about or thought about...now coming into existence. It's kind of like imagining the color 'red' in a universe were there is no such thing as the color 'red'. Or even more like imagining the idea of 'color' in a universe where there is no such thing as 'color'.

Just because we take for granted all the things that we can see, feel, measure and experience as being 'real', does not mean that they are. It does not mean that is all that there is. It just means it's all that we can 'conceive' of because it is all that we know. Just as the fundamental property of 'gravity' functions in a completely predictable way in 'this' dimension or universe does not mean that there are not other fundamental properties in other dimensions that function just as predictably, without us having the slightest inkling of their existence.
What I mean to say is that there is certainly more that is actual, then what we think there is possible.

Answer 4

In attempt to be brutally honest with you, I pretty much accept what's been put on the table to this point.
These are mind- boggling matters, and with the hassles of everyday life, (the job, the house, the bills), it's all just too much for me to spend real thinking energy on.
I defer to the experts in the field.

Answer 5

Goodness, goodness, goodness.....

You wish to have the whole of mankind's intelligence
compacted into a few short words in Yahoo Answers.
Hmm-m. Wouldn't that be nice...Then none of us would
ever have to go to school.

The Universe is presently thought to extend well beyond
40 Billion Light Years distance in every direction from
Earth. How do we know that? Because astronomers can
see distant objects (galaxies) at distances of 13 to 14
Billion light Years with their best Optical Instruments.
Radio Telescope Astronomers can detect objects out in Deep Space at distances of 40 Billion Light Years in all
directions from Earth. Space does not stop there...we just cannot see any farther out there than that because of the limitations of our equipment.

Your question asks "WHO" made the Universe as if it was some person with a definite name like "ALFRED E. Newman." That in and of it's self is a gigantic myth if there
ever was one, a terribly oversymplified fairy tale at best.
Mankind suffers from a limitation in their brains which tends
to make them personify the unknown in Human Terms.

Mankind would observe a shimmering pool of intense light and say, "Well, Hello, what is your name?" ...assuming that
the pool of light was alive and had a name just like humans do. And where are you from? Now please imagine that the Pool of Light responds..."I am from the Lower Eastside,
down around 34TH Street."

"My friends call me 3772801529."

And the Human responds, "...Hmm-m, Err-r is that your First Name, or your Last Name 3772801529?

Answer 6

Hi. I envision a type of foam with a cell within that foam enclosing our visible universe. The foam has an infinite number of cells. But I don't know what it is floating on!

Answer 7

I go contrary to popular opinion.... I like the Big Bang/Big Crunch idea.... solves it all for me.....

Answer 8

God farted and lit it with a match
