Quantum steps towards the Big Bang

If it continues to prove successful, the researchers could perhaps use it to explain also the assumed inflationary expansion of the universe shortly after the Big Bang as well, and the nature of the mysterious dark energy.

And why a slice of toast when dropped always lands buttered side down.

Go to youtube.com Do a search on “The big bang never happenend” and/or “Halton Arp”

According to Krauss and Dawkins, this was settled years ago.

I LOVE these articles!
Thanks SC and keep em’ coming.

Quantum Gravity: The latest effort to harmonize or unify the two most important, yet incompatible, theories of physics. These two "Master" Theories are Einstein's Theory (General) Relativity, and Quantum Theory as developed by a host of 20th-century physicists. The first-mentioned theory accounts for all the very large things in the Universe, like planets, stars, and galaxies, while the second theory is meant to account for all the very tiny things in the world, such as: molecules, atoms, electrons, neutrons, baryons, hadrons, etcetera, etcetera, right on down to quarks, with all their Charm and Beauty (a little inside humor there). Logically, there are just three ways that physicists can proceed: 1) Form a theory which describes the micro-world from a Relativistic -instead of a Quantum- perspective, or: 2) Form a theory which describes the Mega-world from Quantum -instead of a Relativistic- perspective, or: 3) form a yet-to-be-named theory which describes a unified view of the entire universe, from left to right, up to down, past to future, and mega to micro. This third theory would be neither Relativistic nor Quantum in nature, but would nevertheless be shown to mathematically lead to either a Relativistic or Quantum view, depending on the scale or perspective one chooses. Despite what this press-release implies, physicists are both currently and heavily doing research along all three possible lines of research that I have just outlined.

Indeed. Thank you for sharing your insights, dear MHGinTN!

My pleasure, and thanks for the kind remarks — I only pinged this one of course. :’)
