When scientists create thier own mini-big bangs in labs could they be creating new universes?

Question

I ask this thinking about the sub-atomic level not the type of universe we exist in.

Answer 1

I think its actually just a small big bang, not quite the same as ours. it doesn't have enough energy or matter inside to result in a normal big bang

I suppose your question might be true, but it wouldn't result in much within that universe. It would seem to be a waste of time and space and a blank universe just to basically go phhhttttppp with your tongue,

there is talk of scientists creating a full big bang in another universe, but an important element called a monopole is still evading us.



within the experiments your talking about, mini black holes form as well. They seem interestingly dangerous but they too are only MINI black holes and disappear instantly almost.

even if we did create a big bang of normal proportions it too would disappear immediately but find itself disconnect from us and solely existing in its own universe

Answer 2

they do create the small big bangs but not the whole universe the size of that..........thats just freakin impossible.

Answer 3

Brilliant question! Theoretically it's possible, if every decision creates another parallel universe in which the opposite choice was made, and everything is relative then absolutely it should happen. I like the way you think, keep it up!

Answer 4

Noone knows what the Big-Bang was that created our universe or why it happened. Noone can tell therefore whether high-energy experiments on modern colliders will create any new universes or even mini-big-bangs.

One day you may wake up and the Earth is gone, all for they finally turned on LHC :).

Answer 5

If we scientists indeed make our own mini-big-bang explosions in labs, then we could be creating new universes, and ultimately, alien life. Perhaps the necessary materials needed to make new universes could be chemicals and petri dishes used in biological experiments. Maybe our universe is created by lab scientists, and they could be watching us now!

Answer 6

Mini-universe? They are doing nothing more than combining atoms and particles the same as a fusion bomb or a star does. You grab one thing and squeeze it together with another thing. Maybe it changes it's state from matter to energy. That's not a universe. A universe is just a collection of infinite seamless locations. They are not creating a location that did not exist before. Regardless of what is happening to the matter the location that it's happening in does not start or stop existing. It's completely unaffected. Locations can't be affected by anything really.

Answer 7

I think no because the one person that made the universe is GOD and no one except him can create another one.

Answer 8

Current particle accelerators are not strong enough to create a real mini-big-bang.

Answer 9

They've already figured out how to create life so i wouldn't put it past them to figure that out too.

Answer 10

i have very little logic & am not really of scientific mind, but I am generally curious about stuff like this. I think it's a great idea - loads of little universes, all having little new years and little birthdays.....i hope it's true, anyway!!!!!
