Space Time Journal Club examines Evidence Against a Supervoid Causing the CMB Cold Spot
arxiv.org/abs/1704.03814
If you study a map of the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB, you may notice a large, deep blue splotch on the lower right. This area, creatively named the Cold Spot. Is this feature a statistical fluke, the signature of vast supervoids, or even the imprint of another universe?

    How can two different universes collide and merge when they each would potentially have a unique set of universal constants?

  • @garethdean6382

    @garethdean6382

    7 жыл бұрын

    In eternal inflation it's not a given that universal constants would vary between universes, since in essence you're merely merging bubbles in a single, much larger universe. If there WAS a difference the more stable spacetime would 'win', and start converting the other universe at light speed from the point of contact in a massive release of energy.

  • @garethdean6382

    @garethdean6382

    7 жыл бұрын

    Well the complete answer is that neither I, or anyone else does; the cold spot may be evidence for another universe but says nothing of the physics of that universe. (At present; closer observation would provide clues.) The simplest version of eternal inflation would simply involve making analogs of our universe; in the same way ever bubble that forms in boiling water is filled with identical steam the universes produced would be identical. Even in that case it may be possible for one merging universe to have a 'false vacuum' and be higher energy. It's a little more tricky to create universes with different physical constants since you then need each universe to be far more 'flexible' in how it transitions from inflation; not just a move from high to low energy but an alteration of how the fundamental forces work. If you DID have universes with differing physics that form from the same inflationary space then they should be 'compatible' in that you could turn the spacetime of one into that of the other via the high energy inflationary spacetime and possibly by lower energy means. In that case the lower energy universe should convert the higher. BUT it may be possible that it would take too much energy, resulting in a 'defect' where the two universes met, a 2D barrier between the two spacetimes. So there's a lot of 'best guess' involved at this point, based on theories we've developed with our single-universe observations.

    So two questions on this. Firstly if the voids can create such a noticable effect on the CMB map is there work underway to more accurately measure these voids and calculate an ISW corrected map? Secondly, I would expect the statistical effects to be proportional not just to size but also to magnitude of such an area. The estimated chance of this area is 1/50 but if we correct for the ISW effect how much does this change the probabilities we are looking at? Obviously it's going to be an anomaly but a 1/20 would be a lot less "weird" than if it corrected to say 1/48.

  • @garethdean6382

    1.) There is an effort, but it involves measuring a lot of the universe and will take quite some time; you're literally trying to measure every galaxy out as far as we can see and there are a LOT of them. 2.) The corrected probability is indeed greater, depending on how you look at it, significantly so (Though not twice as great as 1/20 would assume.) Physicists prefer something that's more likely than not, the cutoff point is often arbitrarily set at 5% chance or lower.

    You should do the recent paper claiming to provide a possible explanation of dark energy. They claim it is pressure from the quantum vacuum foam. In the past, calculations of this theory were off by so many orders of magnitude it was considered the least accurate prediction in history. But the new approach does a close examination of the impact of that kind of energy density and finds that the vast majority ends up being unobservable, leaving behind an effect that is of the right magnitude for dark energy. I have no idea if this is plausible, but I bet you can help with that.

    In the event of two bubble universes colliding, is it possible (or likely) that one of them is a false vacuum relative to the other, causing the more false vacuum state to fall to the more true vacuum state starting at the point of collision?

    Yes, that's entirely possible. In this case the 'false universe' never sees the collision, only an expanding sphere of more stable spacetime erasing everything it touches. The other universe sees a hot spot dumping energy into it.

    If it is indeed another universe colliding with ours, there are a few things to consider. 1. One of the multiverse hypotheses that predicts spatially disconnected and independent "bubbles" is true. 2. Why don't we actually "see" anything (galaxies and such) from the other universe, other than the imprint it's making? 3. If it's a case of some kind of surface tension, where it's just pushing on an edge and hasn't actually broken through, that would necessitate a physical barrier at the aforementioned edge. What's the nature of that barrier? Is it something that could be traversed? 4. Such a barrier may also indicate that there is a physical "outside" that the universe is "inside" of. 5. There is the question of why we're only seeing one universe nudging us from one direction. Why not multiple universes all around ours, like bubbles grouped together? 6. Further, that could indicate some medium that the universe(s) are moving around in. What's the nature of that medium? Is it a kind of spacetime in itself? Would it necessarily be higher dimensional? 7. Physically, it doesn't make sense that there would be only two universes comprising the totality of everything that is. Either there's only one universe (which this colliding universe theory would rule out), or there are a number of them, possibly an infinite number. 8. Would all these other universes have the same physical laws as ours? If not, would only the values change, or could there be universes that don't even have all of the physical laws that we do, and/or that have laws we don't? For example, this other universe over here might have a variable _c,_ or maybe no _c_ at all? 9. It's 1:30 am right now. I'm only going to get more and more outlandish if I keep going.

    So what do we call distinct components of a multiverse if not universes? Each is a universe because, under normal circumstances, no information can be exchanged between them. In this sense, the definition of 'universe' to mean 'everything' is outdated and misleading. A better, operational definition of 'universe' is that region of space with which we could have (in the past) or could (in the future) communicate with. And all such universes comprise the larger multiverse. So maybe universe doesn't mean a post-inflationary pocket since inflation could, in the future, bring two universes to collide and comprise a new universe.

    "Dark Matter" could just be another fundamental force of nature that isn't directly observable at our scale (the scale of human observation). If we were on the electromagnetic scale (i.e. atomic scale), gravity would seem to not exist due to our inability to directly observe it. All we could observe is electromagnetism and all theories that we had about observations of gravity on a large scale we would attempt to explain with strong force, weak force and electromagnetism.

    Since people made so many weird theories about this cold spot, allow me to write my own: What if it's the result of matter clumping within a higher physical dimension? Think of it like this: Suppose you take a basketball ball and cover it in a viscose liquid (such as honey), you will later see all of it piling down toward the bottom due to gravity drawing it there while a clean spot forms at the top. If our 3D space really is the surface of a 4D hypersphere, perhaps some +4D force causes matter to flow at one point on this sphere! Just a random idea that's fun to think about.

    I think in this case Occam's Razor is a pretty good rule to follow, stating you should follow the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions. A statistical fluke relies on exactly one: it is possible for such a cold spot to generate randomly, vs the colliding universe's multiple assumptions: multiple universes exist, they form as bubbles on infinitely inflating spacetime, they can collide, colliding would create such a cold spot, and our universe was in one such collision.

    I like that there's "always another explanation" for rare (unique) and/or unexpected observations. Even if that other explanation has the odds stacked against it, being "possible" is not it's only purpose: Alternatives also serve to provide us with new perspectives on the original observation, perhaps suggesting additional explanations that my yield better odds of being the correct one. Perspectives are important! Having a single perspective is like looking through a straw, or seeing with just one eye: You see only what you are aimed at, or a flat world. A second perspective is more like looking out a window to see the surrounding context, much like how seeing with a second eye (instead of just one) lets you perceive depth. The third perspective adds volume, but only if it is different enough from the other two. Beyond three they get harder to compare and contrast (combinatorial explosion = confusion and distraction). This is why I carefully listen to climate deniers: The odds are very much against their (often silly) positions being correct, but it makes me look at the climate data and arguments with a much more critical eye. Similarly, though I'm an atheist and skeptic, I always enjoy discussions (not debates or disputes) with people of faith. Now a leading argument for the Cold Spot has been weakened, making us look more critically not just at the overall statistics, but also at the alternative explanations. I think this is the best kind of fun a brain can have.
