   Is this variant of the big bang theory possible?
  Well I was just thinking about how they say the universe is expanding since it was hotter and galaxies were closer together back then. Now what if space-time was infinite and the only thing that was created during the big bang was energy?Stars would form then black holes and matter which was formed from the energy into would compress into the regions we call galaxies. The galaxies would collide with each other and some of the smaller galaxies would compress to the point in which light can no longer escape.So the the farther we go back in time the more dispersed matter/energy would be and the hotter things would be.So instead of looking at it as space expanding we look at it as matter and energy compressing.To me this would explain why there are no white holes as space-time would be infinite and could not be folded on to it's self.What makes this theory invalid as I have never heard of it and would think it would have been thought of a long time ago?EDIT: I know I was very wrong but this I believe is a unified theory of relativity which explains everything.[Edited by - CodaKiller on May 29, 2009 6:26:01 AM]
  How does your variant explain Hubble's Law?   ;Quote:What makes this theory invalid as I have never heard of it and would think it would have been thought of a long time ago?In a sense, all meaningless strings of words have been thought of a long time ago.Lets rephrase the question: what makes your theory valid?   ;Quote:Original post by EelcoLets rephrase the question: what makes your theory valid?Exactly the right question. In order for a theory to be taken seriously you need to provide some evidence that it is actually true either mathematical or experimental.;Quote:Original post by CromulentQuote:Original post by EelcoLets rephrase the question: what makes your theory valid?Exactly the right question. In order for a theory to be taken seriously you need to provide some evidence that it is actually true either mathematical or experimental.I'd say first it needs to explain the existing evidence at least as well, if not better, than other hypotheses. Then, once you've established that the hypothesis is worth investigating, you can look for evidence.;Quote:Original post by SandmanQuote:Original post by CromulentQuote:Original post by EelcoLets rephrase the question: what makes your theory valid?Exactly the right question.

Then, once you've established that the hypothesis is worth investigating, you can look for evidence.The woefully underappreciated Hermann Weyl said it best:"Do not ask whether a statement is true until you know what it means."Personally, im not even going to bother trying to figure out what he means, untill i get a suspicion he has a clue himself.   ;  I suppose I don't understand the context in which you are stating this hypothesis.  Is this for the underlying driving plot in a video game story?  What difference would a discovery like this have on the story?  In this assumed context pretty much anything that doesn't get you a slap across the back of your head ("SH'MUCK!!") is fair game.  I mean Mass Effect and even with such totally unrelated to science ideas of how the universe is formed like in Super Mario Galaxy an awesome game does make.  Other than that....'got nuth'n.   ;Quote:Original post by CodaKillerSo the the farther we go back in time the more dispersed matter/energy would be and the hotter things would be.In your own life experience do you find that dispersed energy is hotter than condensed energy? When cooking food in a kitchen, do you find it hotter the farther away you get from the stove or the closer your get to the stove?

Now what if space-time was infinite and the only thing that was created during the big bang was energy?In the time of bing-bang was created a huge amount of particle-anti-particle pairs.But nature laws has a tuny asimmetry,and for every anti-particle was created 1.000001 "normal" particle on an average,i don't remember exactly this number.I.e almost all particle pairs annihilated in the first moment,and since  universe is filled mostly with  photons/energy.What about singularity in black holes-it doesn't exist still from our point of view.Relatively to our universe "clock" it will be  in the infinite future.AFAIK,only so-called "event horizon" exist in our world,and on this surface the time speed is equal to zero.[Edited by - Krokhin on May 16, 2009 4:08:23 AM];  Just so we are clear, Sandman's first post pretty much made me realized that it was a stupid theory but I can defend it on some level just for the fun of it even though I am around 99% sure it is wrong.Quote:Original post by LessBreadIn your own life experience do you find that dispersed energy is hotter than condensed energy? When cooking food in a kitchen, do you find it hotter the farther away you get from the stove or the closer your get to the stove? Well the idea was that condensed energy would create black holes which would not allow light to escape, so it would appear cooler and less dense.Quote:Original post by LessBreadWhat would you say constitutes a white hole?On second thought we may be seeing them all of the time with the gamma ray bursts in space.Red shift pretty much disproves my theory, I didn't think about it at the time.Some reason it's hard for me to think of an edge to space which is why I thought of space being infinite. Does space loop back on it's self at the actual edge? I also find it hard to believe that warm holes could exist.
