Before the Big Bang ping!
When God said, “Let there be light!”, I’m sure there WAS A HELLUVA BANG!............
It seems almost unimaginable,...
That’s because it is.
Why is there something rather than nothing?
No good. “Cause and effect” has always been the rule. Probability won’t hack it.
Move down, move down, move down. Why is a raven like a writing desk?
How did the dense atoms come to be? Something that was and then changes cannot be the beginning.
First there was a grapefruit...
And then it exploded. Er, bounced.
“However, the CMB which marked the “inflationary” period of the universe poses its own much-argued mystery: why isn’t it smooth? How did the “lumps” emerge?”
Well, it’s not that hard to figure out, if you actually look at the effect of ALL the fundamental forces and stop looking myopically at gravity when you get to big scales.
We know that most gravitational bodies also emit electromagnetic fields. We know that the universe is filled with gases, which can be easily transformed into plasmas under the right conditions, which will then interact with electromagnetic fields. We know that the interaction of plasmas and magnetic fields can exhibit, in our laboratories on a smaller scale, most of the puzzling phenomena of gaseous bodies in space, include drastic compression of matter to the point of causing fusion (*cough* stellar formation *cough*).
Now, physicists know all these facts, but they don’t want to have to be bothered to examine the obvious conclusions and investigate whether they can explain “mysteries” like the structures in the CMB. They’ve invested a century or more in gravity-only cosmological models, and they aren’t about to abandon them now.
The difference between Quantum Physics is identical to the difference between Political Correctness and simply being correct.
First law of Quantum Physics
Second law of Quantum Physics is once a theory is proven by physics, the question is not Quantum, its just Physics.
Third law stems from the above law, Nothing in Quatum Physics is proven.
According to Big Bang theory God likes to play with IEDs.
If Big Bounce theory is right God just has a bassaball jones.
