Before the Big Bang?

The big bang theory does NOT describe a universe at all, it merely describes an observation. That is all science ever does Max, it describes observations in a mathematical manner that allows quantitative predictions. Your anisotropy is a theory IMO since you have the equations to calculate the predicted value. You discussion of the origins on the other hand is merely philosophical since you cannot derive it from the anisotropy equations. But the gravity anisotropy is a consequence of the origin. Prove it. Show the maths that derives anisotropy from the postulate. If the anisotropy exists, it confirms the origin to some degree. The origin becomes increasingly valid as more of its predicions are confirmed, mathematically if need be. i.e. The CMBR. The CMBR doesn't indicate anisotropy of gravity. But how does one confirm an origin that doesn't predict anything? One cannot therefore it would be speculation. I find it somewhat hypocritical that you should say that when your previous criticism was "Your model doesn't say anything, it postulates it." That wasn't being hypocritical George. The only postulate required in the zero origin universe is the infinitesimally minute origin. Exactly. To be any better than that, you have to derive the claim from your equations, and those equation have to be derived from actaul observation. Even if your model doesn't make any direct prediction, it does predict that the origin contained the entire matter of the universe in some indeterminate "state" of non existence. Nope, it does nothing of the kind. Then you don't have a theory of a universe. Of course we do Max, it is a model that covers the whole universe with a bound just after the beginning and spatial bounds inside the event horizon of black holes. The cosmological principle can be used to extend it beyond the limits of what we can see though that could reasonably be called speculative. That prediction postulates that matter can somehow be "housed" in such a manner. An origin of absolutely nothing is by **far** the more logical. It is totally illogical since there is then no manner in which matter can be created yet we see it everywhere today. We are made of the stuff! The relationship between the very first infinitesimally minor signs of existence that opened up time and dimension should never have come to be because nothing existed prior to that event. OK, so there's another logical flaw. snip philosophy The process of pair creation (e- e+) is predicted to increase at a squaring rate per time. That is the prediction George. Then is is shown to be false Max - where are all the positrons? There should be an equal amount of anti-matter in our galaxy by that prediction. Try doing that with your universe. Sorry, my model doesn't go back to baryogenesis. Real scientific theories have limits Max, what you are doing is philosophy, not science. restoring the context: The predicted chemical abundance that you mention above is only in agreement with the observed values so long as the universe is actually expanding. But what if it's not? What if you're seeing a universe that's evolving from an origin of absolutely nothing? If it isn't expanding there was never a time when the temperature was high enough to create matter so there should still be 'absolutely nothing', no matter whatsoever. If it started with sub-atomic particles, the lone neutrons would have decayed (half-life about 13 minutes) into protons and electrons so there would be nothing but hydrogen and material produced by stellar processes. Instead, we see a quarter of all matter is helium. ------ ------ Neutrons are not involved in the initial part of any stellar process, as you are well aware, but they most certainly have had time and reason to form. But neutrons don't just form Max, in isolation they simply break up and you are left with hydrogen. Why would they be in isolation within a forming star? The stars would be formed from pure hydrogen and could produce helium but other elements would be formed too. I am talking about Pop I stars which have 75% hydrogen and 25% helium but with negligible amounts of anything else. These should not exist in your universe. ------ ------ I'm trying hard to understand where the big bang theory is going to lead us. It tells us how the universe evolved from what you called an intermediate state That word was "indeterminate", not intermediate. Sorry, I misread it. The state was fairly well known just before nucleogenesis as an equilibrium mix of sub-atomic particles. Has that been observed, ... It is a prediction of conditions in the early universe based on the measured characteristic of particles from high energy physics experiments where the conditions are similar. .. or is it a prediction that points backward toward the origin? Which is a back to front way of doing things. No, it is the right way to do things, science extrapolates from what can be measured. The zero origin concept predicts from the origin out. That is a more philosophical approach but if you can turn that into a postulate from which numerical predictions can be made then you can in theory confirm the postulate. And all the math in the world will not make your personal guess anywhere near as good. I have no idea why you have such confidence in it. I have no confidence in personal guesses whatsoever and that includes your. The only thing I have confidence in is maths that has been proven to accurately represent what we measure. GR falls into that category. Maths only confirms what it's designed to confirm. It can be nothing more than a facade when applied with bias. Wrong, 2+2=4 no matter how biased you are. On the subject of math, the manner in which you worded a reply to another poster "Chris L Peterson", regarding my proposed gravity anisotropy, strongly suggests that I was wrong. If you do have anything to add to that thread, feel free to do so. I'll reply separately to that. This thread is getting bogged down and going nowhere so perhaps we should cull it. It was never going anywhere anyway because you cannot accept my viewpoint anymore than I can accept yours. This debate has never been about us. But it's your call of course. This is not going anywhere because your words are all philosophical. If it continues that way I'll probably drop it as I have too much else on at the moment. George |
