“...Inflation left them in entirely different universes...”

THAT is something we can grasp, for sue!!

But does it also mean that all other universes are populated with bone head Liberals, TOO?

I paraphrase Julian Huxley (Aldous’s grandfather) when he said,

“The universe is not only stranger than we suppose but stranger than we can suppose “

“Objects separated by the width of an atom at the beginning of inflation,” notes Dan Hooper, Senior Scientist and the Head of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, in At the Edge of Time, “were trillions of miles apart from one another by the time it was over—only a minuscule fraction of a second later.”


Much faster than the speed of light then?

“The universe is not only stranger than we suppose but stranger than we can suppose “


Reminds me of the infamous scene from “Event Horizon”:

Sometimes you should just leave the strangeness to itself.

The fundamental force everywhere known is accretion. Gravitational attraction.

The first application is our moon circling earth. Then there is our solar system with planets and moons and uncountable asteroids in gravitational order with our star, the sun. Then there is the Milky Way Galaxy that is the matter including our sun gravitationally attracted by by our own unseen black hole. I do not know what attracts our galaxy but it is out there along with uncountble and unfathomable numbers of others in our universe. Some say that all the matter is flowing outward from an unknown and un seen source, propellled by a huge antigravitational force.

But what if our universe is a body in its self some how just one of many different universes that are subject to accretion and gravity?

“It’s hard to build models of inflation that don’t lead to a multiverse,”


just like climate change models.

Not impossible to build a model that doesn’t lead to multiverse.

The entire universe, multiverse, both seen and unseen are an illusion of the ego. But it is always fun to read another’s fantasies.

“It’s hard to build models of inflation that don’t lead to a multiverse,” observed MIT physicist Alan Guth who developed the idea. Cosmic inflation and the nascent inflationary universe passed through a phase of exponential expansion soon after the Big Bang, driven by a positive vacuum energy density. “It’s not impossible, so I think there’s still certainly research that needs to be done.

Ah yes....more research needs to be done on the idea he came up with....show me the money!!

Atoms “moving through space” implies an absolute frame of reference, which I think is disallowed. Relative to one atom, another atom moved away trillions of miles, let’s say ~1 light year (6 trillion miles), not in 1 year, but in 10^-32 s. I don’t know how else that could appear to the other atom than as having superluminal speed.

Where did the material for the “big bang” come from?

There was no “epoch of inflation”, but the Universe is much bigger and older than the part we can see. It started approximately 10^137 years ago as three concentric spheres whose radii correspond to the cubit, the sacred cubit, and the rod from the Bible. The universe remained a void lattice until about 10^15 years ago when the size of the quantum of area got to about half what is is today. That was the time “let there be light” became operative, and matter began to appear all across the Universe in little “firecracker” events.

Always wondered about the Big Bang theory was one or many or another chain of events seems like every month new things in the theory world.

What would Albert think now days?.

Very well done, so I have to put her two cents in:

Dark woman

A lot of dark matter in the Atalanta multiverse!

Watch out for the plasma discharges associated with it.
