Before the Big Bang when there was just a single singularity, before there was space and time, what was the state of energy inside the singularity? at a state of equilibrium? or in a state of imbalance trying to reach equilibrium?

The thing you have to realize is that what we take as reality is in actuality nothing. It is only tangible to us because we are able to interact with it via forces, but the forces and energy which make us up are nothing.

I had an idea today that if the universe is infinite then the big bang wouldn't have necessarily created it, but only created the galaxies that we can see in close proximity (relatively) to each other.

But across this infinite field there is another area where anothet big bang occurred and another set of galaxies are together.

This, of course is too far away to be able to be proven, but is there a reason as to why this doesn't hold up? I'm obviously coming at this without anything other than a basic basic understanding of space.

Because of the cosmological constant, particle masses are related to the space time volumes of the universe. As the space time volume of the universe expands, as a whole, then the particle masses decrease.

If we had a truly infinite universe, an infinite amount of time and space, then all particle masses would be driven to zero.

The human perception of dimension is made manifest by scale. Observe, the universe appears infinity vast because the singularity is nearest to itself. Sub-atomic particles appear so small because they are very distant reflections of the very same singularity. Indeed, your vaunted 'big-bang' has it all backward. The universe was never small, then exploding out and evolving into bigger and more complex forms. The large structures came first, and the smaller structures arise from the decoupling (polarization) of their singular state. Hence, The Higgs Boson was created by the very instrument built to discover it.

I never went to school :/ I lived in the woods instead. I was rarely exposed to academia, so I don't know how to not sound bhuddist. The only double slit experiment I was exposed to where two French college girls who walked with through part of the PCT. Still, I like to think of the singularity as a single big volume which is defining itself through the interference of it's own probability. The 'expansion' would merely be ever smaller permutations of the original structure, like a fractal. I don't know how to rectify this, or change it to make it fit better with the standard model, though.

No you have not. You made up a bunch of claims that are laughable to anyone who knows even a cursory amount of physics. There is no center of spacetime expansion because the expansion is happening everywhere uniformly. And the volume of space has nothing to do with the mass of particles. There is an infinite volume of space and an infinite amount of mass in it, and this creates a finite density.

Wow. Just wow. Hey, just to be sure, why don't you try reading the rest of that paragraph.

>Thus the universe was known to be flat to within about 15% accuracy prior to the WMAP results. WMAP has confirmed this result with very high accuracy and precision. We now know (as of 2013) that the universe is flat with only a 0.4% margin of error. This suggests that the Universe is infinite in extent; however, since the Universe has a finite age, we can only observe a finite volume of the Universe.

>All we can truly conclude is that the Universe is much larger than the volume we can directly observe.

A positive vacuum energy density resulting from a cosmological constant implies a negative pressure, and vice versa. If the energy density is positive, the associated negative pressure will drive an accelerated expansion of the universe.

If you are educated, you must know that the cosmological constant is too complicated to write into 4chan. I also assume you don;t have to do any research to know it.

I also assume you do not take Einstein seriously.

one simple equation you keep ignoring as I describe it. pity that all you have is a pleb version of your ideas to submit.

Here, let me give you a pleb version.

If there is energy, there is spacial expansion. This expansion will continue to the point that photons will be too distant from themselves to interact, trillions of years from now. This expansion begins from a center point where "the big bang" began. Time itself is finite. Mass is finite and space is finite. These are the most important variables of the cosmological constant.

>> No.7465363

It never happened, there was never a singularity.

What happened was that the dark energy eventually accelerated everything so much that the pressure was enough to spontaneously create new particles, so many everywhere at once that this work drained the dark energy field for a few hundred billion years.

Again, there is no "center point" where the big bang occurred. The Big Bang was an expansion of ALL space. This expansion occurred EVERYWHERE, and is still occurring EVERYWHERE. The fact that you do not know this is simply embarrassing. Please stop talking about what you clearly do not understand.

>>7465362
>So I am just going to quote your fucking source you didn't read.

What center of expansion??? The Big Bang was an expansion of all space. Do you understand what that means? It was not an expansion of a certain part of space, it was ALL space.

Educating yourself in basic facts is not hard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

>That space is undergoing metric expansion is shown by direct observational evidence of the Cosmological principle and the Copernican principle, which together with Hubble's law have no other explanation. Astronomical redshifts are extremely isotropic and homogeneous,[19] supporting the Cosmological principle that the universe looks the same in all directions, along with much other evidence. If the redshifts were the result of an explosion from a center distant from us, they would not be so similar in different directions.

cause and effect is something that exists inside our universe as far as we're aware. We don't actually know if anything caused the big bang, as difficult to comprehend as that may sound. As people have already mentioned, a singularity is something which can't be extrapolated on. There's nothing about it.
And, as people on this thread have already pointed out, there is no 'before time' that can be speculated about in any meaningful way because again time exists only within our universe as far as we're aware.

I think a satisfying response would come from studying how humans understand things. If we lay down all the frameworks of understanding and study them, maybe we can come up with a GOOD question with a GOOD answer, whatever that may mean. That's what we wan't here, isn't it? I mean so far nobody has accepted "I don't know" as an answer, but nobody has at all come up with a suitable physical answer, and some are even saying "there is no possible answer." Is something wrong with the question and the way we tackle it?

The Geocentric model makes perfect sense. But it had problems from the very beginning. The Greek's called 'epicycles' the retrograde motion of the planets, describing some invisible force to explain the strange motion. However, the the Heliocentric model with elliptic orbits explains the motion without the invisible force, the sheer apparent motion of celestial bodies created such a strong bias the in the minds of people the idea was largely disregarded until the math used to describe heliocentric models became widely enough available to be the favored model.

We are stuck in the universe, 'looking out', and so all of our observations will be marked by a strong anthropic taint. I can't help but think the big bang, dark energy, etc are all the modern equivalent of epicycles. Many today are desperate to describe our observations using these explanations as a model. We need to consider the universe from 'beyond', 'looking in', and develop some radically different maths to explain this unknown framework. Expansion, for example, could explained by a contraction along another dimension (if dimension is even the right word to describe it).

I think we should create and develop new branches of math. Create explanations that might seem absolutely silly.

There is deviantly more going on than meets the eye.
