    There's parts of theoretical quantum physics that I have a hard time accepting....such as multiverses. What's on the other side of that wall?...another universe. Or maybe this one is only two-dimensional and there are stacks of others above and below us. Or all the universe is on the back of a turtle and it's turtles all the way down. See?..at some point it just becomes wild imagination and little to do with physical concepts.
    Our brains can't handle the vastness of it; we have to seek a beginning and end to things and we just can't reach them all. If we choose to accept that it is a divine creation, can we at least accept the right to explore it and understand it without resistance or charges of heresy, blasphemy or the like? Astrophysicists don't live to try to "prove that there's no god" ; thry just want to understand what the universe is and HOW it was created. They do not concern themselves with WHO created it.

    If you don't want to be in taboo, feel free to not post taboo statements that break forum rules.


    I really like the multiverse theory. I'd have to do some digging, but you know a lot of scientists are doubting the Big Bang theory now as well.

    I understood about 67.4% of that.

    The big bang was always troubling to me because there should be no beginning as something has to eternal.

    You can either believe that the something is a deity or energy and gravity.


    I was reading about string theory I'm I'm not really sure if I completely understood it but what I essentially got was that is that all particles which make up everything are made of tiny strings of energy.

    Which means that everything is made of energy and according to the law of energy conservation it can not be created or destroyed bit only change form.

    If true then all of the universe would have always been because the entire universe is essentially just energy.

    What defines "a lot"? Sure some scientists might, but the overwhelming majority still favor the BB, however debates about what preceded the BB are ongoing. Currently the mainstream belief among scientists is the theory of Inflation (and by extension the multiverse) which has scalar fields as drivers of rapid expansion of spacetime leading to a BB.

    I can recommend Human Universe by Brian Cox, it's a very good read.

    Oh and with regards to Kepler 452B, as far as I know we still don't know the composition of the planet. It could be a gas planet and even if it's rocky there's no guarantee it has any atmosphere, let alone one suitable for life.

    Absolutely mind boggling how we could possibly see a planet now, but at the same moment be completely annihilated by a supernova or something else. That's why I get so twisted around when we talk about space time. We are so used to thinking as time being a 1:1 everywhere here on earth, the same minute in time now, is the same minute of time somewhere else.

    So there is some truth to Prometheus?
