I find this discussion quite exciting. The concepts of early inflation, dark matter and dark energy. However, I do think that a deep understanding of the big bang won't happen unless cosmologists can come up with a theory that can predict the shape of the early universe and still predict the current universe. Since we are talking about conditions that cannot be known by a mere extrapolation of current conditions and what we currently understand about time and space and matter I have some doubts over whether such a theory will ever present itself. But I do absolutely believe that the pursuit is worth trying because it enriches our understanding of the world even if the ideas are only just a further approximation to the ultimate reality (if there is such thing) and it makes things just make a little more sense. What is exciting is when predictions can be made that align with our current understanding of the universe. The knowledge that can be obtained is valuable, but I think also needs to be taken with the attitude that some of the ideas may be wrong and also that an ultimate understanding may forever elude us.

"Why" is the wrong question, it already implies purpose. That isn't science. One doesn't presuppose. The question is "How".

The limitation of human mind (thought) is that it divides and presents the world in terms of objects interacting in space and time. Could it be that the meaningfulness of objects is the creation of mind and subsequently the space and time are illusions. If so, we are in a dream like state, believing that the projected meaningfulness of objects is real and asking the question ‘why the world is so?’. I think, in this case, a more productive question would be ‘why are we dreaming?’.

Change is necessary and fundamental. Things are essentially relational. A beginning at a point in time can have meaning only in a relational context ( as representing a transition phase). There cannot be an absolute point before which there was no time. If time is defined as a measure of relative change, then in that sense, the concept of time has always been meaningful.

My 2 cts, I tell it a bit flat so again its a pointer not a total complete explanation about your question. for what its worth in the rough. The challenge in comprehending whether the universe had a beginning lies in the inherent limitations of our human perspective. As observers, we only perceive fragments of reality, not its entirety. This is particularly true for our understanding of the universe. Our observations and measurements are confined to segments of the whole, leading to conclusions that lack a broader dimensional perspective. Our experiences, based on these partial observations, inadvertently shape our perception of the universe's complete nature. To illustrate this concept, consider a metaphor: Imagine we are three-dimensional beings observing a two-dimensional world inhabited by flat, two-dimensional beings. We introduce a toilet roll into their world, each segment colored differently. We propose a game where they predict the color of the next segment after a certain number of rounds, based on the primary colors we've described. For these two-dimensional beings, this is a game of chance. However, from our three-dimensional vantage point, we can accurately predict the outcome of each round. What appears random and statistical in two dimensions is entirely predictable from a three-dimensional perspective. This metaphor highlights our situation as humans. Our observations and experiences of the universe are incomplete; we perceive only parts of a much larger whole. Therefore, it's challenging to describe and solve the mysteries of the universe, as it requires a holistic approach. Unifying the complexity of the universe into a single coherent theory is a formidable task. It involves discovering a key element that harmoniously integrates all forces and aspects into one unified whole. This pursuit of unification is complex, as it demands an understanding beyond the fragments we currently perceive.

It could be boundless at any size, as long as it has nothing to contain it. Imagine two balloons that are separated by an arbitrary space. The space between the balloons are still something. But if the balloons were separated by true “nothing,” they would touch, even if the nothing were infinite. Because with nothing, space-time doesn’t exist.

ZeroOskul • There's no "zero" in the real dynamic of the Universe, in the REALITY. "Zero" something, a "beginning" from "zero", etc, are all just useless, unreal theoretical models made up by the human brain only.

Bravo , Respect and admiration to the brave scientists digging away into the unknown. There seems to be as yet unidentified fundamental forces at work. Dark matter and dark energy a huge indication. Highlighted by the incompatibilities of general relativity and quantum mechanics. . . Dream on children of science . So much awaits us.

I should be talking to Saul Perlmutter.

He spent the whole time explaining why we don't know. He could have just said "I don't know" and saved us a lot of time.

Are Reality and what we see as the Universe (our incomplete capture of it) the same thing? Did Reality had a start? Personally i do not see Reality and the Universe as precisely the same. I see the Universe as a compartment within Reality.

Existence was there in some form before the present universe began and will continue after after the current universe cycle ends.

The universe is eternal. It never began because to have a beginning would mean space time didn’t exist before it did. If space time existed before the Big Bang, THAT is the true universe. On and on ad infinitum.

The universe CAN'T be infinite. All space, time, and matter began with the Big Bang. For something to exist before that, it would have to be nowhere (no space), made of nothing (no matter), never (no time). Good luck proving that.

@dr_shrinker I agree with that assessment. I like to think about a paradox that can be imagined with a simple line. Suppose the line extends infinitely in one direction, but that the other end of the line has a definite point of termination. If you attempt to the traverse the line starting from the terminated side of the line and moving *at any speed* towards the infinitely-extended side of the line, you will never arrive at the other end of the line. HOWEVER, to do the opposite, which is to traverse the line starting at an infinite distance from the terminated side and then travel towards the final point of termination, still moving *at any speed*, you still would never arrive at the other end. How bizarre that an infinite can be bounded on one side and yet still be infinite.

I also wonder how can it expand into all directions when there where no directions?? How can the edge of the universe move towards nothing? I geuss there must be something outside the edge or the big bang is wrong. Maybe space itself is infinite in size and the big bang is just a bunch of matter that exploded inside this space. Instead of space only coming to existence after the big bang

Darwinian Universal, what its about? OC Darwinian Universal is a cosmology and physics theory that aims to provide a comprehensive explanation of the universe's origin and evolution, as well as the fundamental principles governing its behavior. This theory incorporates elements of natural selection and evolution, as well as concepts from various fields of physics, such as quantum mechanics and general relativity. The Darwinian Universal theory posits that the universe is a dynamic and evolving system, in which structures and processes emerge and change over time in a manner analogous to biological evolution. This includes the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, and the emergence of life itself. The theory also proposes that the fundamental constants and laws of physics may not be fixed and unchanging, but could have evolved and fine-tuned over time through a process of natural selection. This could potentially explain the apparent "fine-tuning" of the universe for life, as well as the emergence of complex structures and phenomena.

Yes, I do favors Penrose. It always is and always will be. It is an isness! However within this isness we also, in our awareness of material dimension need, even desire, to express it in terms of time.

Nothing can only be defined relative to something. But nothingness comes first, and in the small gap between nothing and something, space and its delimiting time is drawn. Space will exist about as long as time, but when time is made unknowable by entropy a new state of nothingness will briefly (as brief as possible) reify and the whole process will start over. At least, this is how I choose to see it.

Seems like asking "why" the Universe exists denotes that there is a intelligence at work. Asking "how" does not bring necessarily bring a separate intelligence into the proper scientific enquiry. But to be sure, in my life time we have learned much. I am 75 years old. In my lifetime we landed humans on the moon. Sent landers to mars. Sent craft outside our solar system. We saw many galaxies with Hubble and Webb.

The Monoliths's did it. "My god, it's full of stars."

I can only answer that for myself (same as everybody else). The universe started because I was born.

Always question we are very early in the investigation

Do you think that anybody on this Earth will know the answer..why would they be granted such a unique insight..why?

how can we where we are in the universe look back at the big bang. then did components of our solar system travels faster than light

Einsteins principle, energy is neither created or destroyed. it simply changes form. so the universe has always existed. it has just changed form.

It takes the knowledge of consciousness to be able to answer the question on how something can exist out of nothing. This is because consciousness can exist without a body as energy with a natural will to experience itself. The manfestation of the universe comes therefore as the result of this natural will of the premordial consciousness to experience itself.

Whatever made the universe at the Big Bang I probably still spewing out new space and everything just looks like it’s expanding and accelerating when really it’s just more stuff we can’t even see

So stupid to say “could OF..”.

it takes them much too long to get things built - it has to do with money and relative importance of the ideas - even if we knew about the early universe it would not change much about today other than theoretical concepts since it will be slight degress of change not wholesale reordering - small changes can make big differences but building the devices to get to that point should be a faster process even if it is a complicated one

So that you can come to existance and inquier truth

The question is, is there a why?

So many variables,variables many🤔...not getting anywhere with this??

The universe is boundless, in time and in space.

All of physical science, including all the particles, is based ultimately on fields. So back at the time of the “big bang”, did fields exist? Were they created at the same time? Or did they come into existence first and then create particles?

Trying to assign logic to the ways our universe was created would mean that there was a smart designer that made it all logical to exist.

There are many theories on this subject. In reality, nobody really knows. And those who claim to know are taking a leap of faith.

That was a great Woody Allen bit. I did not know he was still around. 😂

Why not?

Not why but how is the real question. Why implies reason,.

Where is it located 😁

I liked it, but it never addresses the question in the headline! Was gibt?

Shamsi4 • No. From "nothing" can not come anything. Since you can see that there's something, it means that "nothing" has never existed.

Why did our universe begin? I have a better question: Did our universe begin? It may well have been here always. Otherwise, the best answer to the question is "Because!"

That's a very interesting idea I have wondered about too, that some elemental form of matter or energy from this present universe is an archaic remnant or relic of an older one.

What evidence do we have that the universe is expanding?

What if our universe is not only filled with our known matter, but also with dark matter? But we can't see it or interact with it because we are matter of electromagnetism and dark matter is not. It is everywhere, but we cannot collide with it because it works on a different basis. Where we see emptiness, maybe everything is full of it. But it could interact like our matter through gravity. And that is the (uncrossable) bridge between the different types of matter. Maybe that's why gravity doesn't match with the quantum effects of our matter.

Maybe less coffee before an interview. Still a great video.

The moment a particle is a wave; it has to be a conscious wave! Nicola Tesla states, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration” Gravity is the conscious attraction among waves to create the illusion of particles, and creates our experience-able Universe. Max Planck states: "Consciousness is fundamental and matter is derived from Consciousness". Life is the Infinite Consciousness, experiencing the Infinite Possibilities, Infinitely. We are "It", experiencing our infinite possibilities in our finite moment. Our job is to make it interesting!

They are just finding stuff in our solar system but this guy knows why it started?

❤❤❤

because I said so

Good question. There are times I wish the universe didn't exist.

Any "why" question is an infinite regress.
