Once Before Time: A Whole Story of the Universe by Martin Bojowald

[UCANSEE2]

I think it’s really interesting when they try to explain the complexities of the Universe based on the ‘little’ that we understand. It leads to much speculation.

(p.s. All the answers so far are wrong. But please don’t mention it to anyone else. They’ll just get mad)

The three reviews at Amazon are parsimonious in their praise for this book.

Not worth buying based on those; maybe I’ll check if the library has it.

LOOP DE LOOP
Johnny Thunder

Here we go loop de loop
Here we go loop de li
Here we go loop de loop
On a saturday night

We’re having a party
Ev’rybody’s havin’ a great time
All the gang’s here and a-dancin’
Yeah I’m loopin’ with a baby of mine

Here we go loop de loop
Here we go loop de li
Here we go loop de loop
On a saturday night

Darling are you ready
To loop a loop loop with me
Start right there
Wait just a minute until I count to three

(one, two, three)
Here we go loop de loop
Here we go loop de li
Here we go loop de loop
On a saturday night

> At the moment of the big bang, our universe emerged from a state of infinite density, a point in space and time so small it had no size at all.

“We may call really really large and small numbers “infinite”, but in reality, they are just really really large and small numbers.” ...Me

What if one of these guys is wrong and he succeeds only in destroying our universe....who do I sue?

[samtheman]

He discovered that as we trace the universe's evolution back in time we find that near the singularity too much energy tries to cram into the finite loops. When the loops can't absorb any more, they expel energy. The effect is a repulsive force that counteracts the inward pull of gravity, preventing total collapse. But there's another, stranger side effect as we continue back in time: the repulsive force swaps space's orientation. Instead of contracting into the would-be singularity, space-time begins expanding again on the other side, creating an inside-out looking-glass universe on the other side of the big bang.

He "discovered" this, did he?

And how, exactly, did he "discover" all this?

He obviously didn't ride a timespace machine back to the beginning to "discover" this.

He "discovered" this by running some equations that gave him some other equations and then -- the actual magical step in the whole process -- he interpreted the resulting equations to mean all those words about an inside-out looking-glass universe.

What I'm interested in is that interpretation process. How, exactly, did his equations tell him everything in that paragraph I just quoted?

How does this process of discovery actually work?

There, fixed it.

Time, being a derivative function of state change that progresses relative to E within the context of the inertial frame(s) in which it is observed...
