    If you have watched a few inch column of clear water at the bottom of a pot just at the beginning of boiling on top of the stove, then you have witnessed what resembles the creation of multiverse in the form of bubbles that expand, burst, and give birth (space) to bigger and hotter multiverse (bubbles) to develop. The process that seems to have never started and never ends as long as the heat intensity does not destroy their formation.

    If there is a multiverse, then it seems possible that we simply live in one of the universes in which there is more matter than anti-matter. Perhaps in other universes, the balance is different. In other words, the preponderance of matter over anti-matter cannot be derived from first principles but instead results from some mysterious initial condition which varies in some way from one universe to the next.

      They don't have a theory for the very beginning, the moment of creation, or how the universe was created. The Big Bang theory explains how the universe expanded after it was created, not how it was created. They say they can't develop a theory for the creation of the universe because two of their important theories are incompatible, general relativity and quantum mechanics. They're working on reconciling those two. In the early universe, according to what Alan said in this video, there were quarks before there were elements or atoms. Then, as the universe cooled, quarks combined to form the nucleii of atoms, so then there were elements and atoms. (Quarks are elementary particles that are what protons and neutrons are made of in the nucleus of an atom)

    Amazing. We are here because of uncertainty.
    An uncertainty in the fundamental mechanics of the quantum realm. If there had not been this uncertainty, the universe would have expanded in such perfect homogeneity that not a single fluctuation would have caused the gravitational imbalances needed for particles to attract one another, and subsequently "cascade" into the large scale structures of our universe (galactic filaments).
    Could one have asked for a more succinct rebuttal to the concept of an intentional being behind our creation? We are here because of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and the Evolution by natural selection which followed it. Without, this universe, as I understand it, would be a sea of quarks, with no more or less meaning than our universe save the forces which precede it's very formation.
    Ill defined as theism already is, could one argue that an intentional, personal, loving "God" created us through uncertainty? Sure, with a small side of hubris.

      You're very astute and obviously well-versed in quantum physics. I'm an older man and I've read Guth since he appeared on scene with "inflation" I guess at least 25 years ago. I understand you and I agree with your educated observations (sea of quarks). I was disappointed to hear him say at the very end that the theory indicated an "ultimate beginning." And if the theory requires "a beginning" then it's explained by the quantum fluctuations on a Planck scale by positive electromagnetic energy and negative gravitation energy fluctuating for as long as it takes to finally at some point "smooth out" (Stephen Weinberg) and for a moment create an area of zero energy, and well-known dynamics (mentioned here by Guth) allow for the exponential growth (70 times faster than light (Guth) and the rest is particle physics. Peace. Oh, yeah, Nobel prize winner Stephen Weinberg predicted three quarks and named them and told us their spin, etc; we humans built the Atlas at CERN and found all three. Weinberg said words to the effect that if science can do anything to weaken to hold religion has exerted on us, it might be its greatest contribution to mankind. So yeah, everything we tell the creationists is used by them to lie to their flock. God was the Higgs boson; now he's fargin dark energy. Hard to get a handle on that dude.

      The uncertainty that you speak of seems very highly finely tuned.
      The cosmic microwave background radiation displays fluctuations of 1 part in 100,000, enough as you say to cause organised structure to emerge but not too much to cause a universe dominated by black holes.
      Add to that the critical density of the universe (the balance between matter,energy and the expansion rate of the universe)that physicists know is balancing on a ‘knife edge’ and we have an extremely finely tuned universe.
      And of course the further we go back towards the beginning the more finely tuned those initial conditions would have needed to be.
      It smacks of having been Created as many eminent scientists who’ve looked carefully at such have acknowledged.

    First of "all" ; The universe has no absolute beginning as absolutely nothing comes out from nothing. One key components for this widely misunderstood conception of beginning is a realization that we can not extract any information beyond Big Bang and that validates our conception of absolute beginning. Not a logical conclusion, but a pleasant one, that feeds our hubris etc. "makes me feel a little bit special..". Just quarks without understanding what is the thrue/fundamental nature of matter. For ex. the absurdities concerning elementary particles such as: How can a particle which doesn't consist of anything but itself send & receive any information i.e. have any kind of formation, what is the density of a particle that consist only of itself, what is the shape of this assumed particle, as it must be 3D? "There must be a ultimate beginning" even there can not be.

      As for your “explanation,” resorting to Bronze Age mythology doesn’t explain anything, for who or what created God? Religion is a primitive culture’s explanation for why the sun goes down out night, why droughts happen, where the earth comes from, and that sort of thing. Scientific inquiry has produced actual answers to these questions, so there’s no longer any need to resort to primitive superstitions like gods and demons.

      But unlike religions he doesn't claim that he does. What he does do is give us the picture of where we have actually gotten to so far, according to the best theories based on the observations we now have access to. That is as good as it gets and much more sensible than dogmatically believing what it says in old books written by people who hadn't even worked out that the earth was not flat.

      I majored in physics for one reason and one reason only, I didn't care about a career or anything like that. I wanted to know "why is there something rather than nothing?" I was at the University of Minnesota the day Alan gave his talk on Inflation, in January 1980; I went to the talk. As someone who has been looking into this for an entire lifetime, in my humble opinion Alan's Theory of Inflation comes closest to answering the question.

      @BradHolkesvig 8 лет назад

      Shahid Ashrif
      You're right. The Bible is not evidence that there is a Creator of us and everything we experience with our created senses. It was our Creator who had me write and speak for Him this past 7 1/2 years where the knowledge came from to know how we're created. He taught me everything He wanted me to know before the body that's typing this post has been killed by Christians who hate the Truth.
      I have known our Creator for over 36 years now since Dec. 7th, 1979 when He spoke these words into my mind, "I AM YOUR CREATOR". From that point on, He began a long 28 1/2 years of getting me ready to write and speak for Him. This takes a lot of trust in order to write and speak about things that are about the past and the future besides how we were created.
      In order to get me to trust Him before He had me start testifying to His knowledge, He had me go through all kinds of crazy experiences that most people would never believe. Once I learned that He's in total control over my body, it became easy to trust Him for each word He put in my mind to write and speak about hidden knowledge that has never been revealed to anyone in this universe.
      I learned about quantum mechanics in visions that He had me experience. This means I didn't need the mathematical language to understand that particles are only illusions that can never be contained and observed by us. They all came from the language of our Creator which is totally invisible to us. His computing language is nothing but vibrations that don't require any matter to exist. In fact, matter can only be observed when these vibrations are processed into an observable object such as a particle.
      It's very difficult for me to believe that quantum physicists can actually believe we're real people with what they understand. Some of them have come out and actually tell people that we're living in a computer generated program but most people don't believe them.
      However, our Creator has used the computer technology and many of the programs to teach me how He created His program called Eternal Life with His voice. The last bit of teaching He did was to have me look up in Google for any computer programmers using voice recognition programs to speak code into it from their invisible thoughts and build computer programs.
      Once I understood that there are over 100 computer programmers speaking computer programs into existence, then I realized that this is how our Creator created His program where we are only characters in that program.
      I can show you many OT prophecies to show you that they fit the knowledge that was revealed to me through the written and spoken testimonies besides all the visions and dreams I experienced this past 7 1/2 years, soon to be 8 years on June 16th, 2008.
      What we observe in this world is only an illusion. We are not real people made of hard physical matter and all our experiences are nothing but a running program that was created a long time ago.
