    Was there a "Big Bang"?

    I have studied the Big Bang theory in sufficient depth to question whether it has to happen instantaneously. Following that question I discovered that the same outcome can evolve in a cold start, slow roll process, perhaps taking millennia, from a point-presence rather than a singularity...

    Have a good one.:)

    Was there a "Big Bang"?

    Hello Ignat:) I have presented here a paper that considers the implications of a closed (spherical) universe within which we reside, like the inside surface of a ball. I have considered the prospects of a hot Big Bang vs a cold start, slow roll process and have found that the universe as we...

    Implications of a Closed Universe

    What you are implying is that radiation has been leaking from the universe from the start and always will. The theory pertaining to the Higgs boson provides for two levels of vacuum- the metastable vacuum that we live in, and the true vacuum to which the Higgs boson can theoretically decay...

    I hear ya. It was well above mine when I first took it on. :)

    Implications of a Closed Universe

    Pardon. I have a somewhat compromised right hand and don't always catch my typos. The word is irrelevant. It naturally takes much longer for a P1 universe to develop because it involves a continuous series of causal feedback loops. In the paper I refer to it as a slow roll process, borrowing...

    Implications of a Closed Universe

    Not at all. It is just a different theory that brings us to the same end. But I want to correct one part of my response to: ' It may not assume the energy density of a classic BB universe until somewhere around nucleosynthesis.' The time it takes is immaterial under P1 theory. :)

    Implications of a Closed Universe

    Actually a P1 universe is always in a state of inflation on a hyperbolic curve, as explained in the text. The time frame of expansion is much slower though, but it is still exponential. It may not assume the expansion rate of a classic BB universe until somewhere around nucleosynthesis...

    Implications of a Closed Universe

    What a welcome! But thank you.:) I can't speak for metaphysics, but thank you for pointing that out. If I understand you correctly, I can only say that Big Bang theory does not presume that cosmic inflation starts directly from a singularity. The size of the universe at the time of inflation has...

    Implications of a Closed Universe

    Well, Claudio, that is quite a project, especially considering that we haven't even found a graviton yet. Good luck with it, though. prmpre :)

    Implications of a Closed Universe

    This paper pertains to the interval between a near singularity and the onset of the putative Big Bang, and subsequent developments. A hypothetical emergent bounded universe, governed by a single overarching precept (P1) that reality cannot be unbound, is followed in its evolution through a...
