What's so hard about believing in the Big Bang?
-
Our universe is the child of the previous one and there will be many after our too.

Did you read the article I linked? Not only "many after" butOriginally posted by Lim Wei Ming:Our universe is the child of the previous one and there will be many after our too.
Dark matter
"At present there may be an alternative 'dark matter' universe that exists at the same time as ours, but we could never reach it," explained Professor Turok.
"The best way to think of this is to think of a pane of double glazing with a fly on it. The fly is unable to cross over from one side to another, just like we are unable to get from one universe to another.
"These two universes are drawn together by the force of gravity and will eventually collide.
"This means that things that are happening now will help to create another universe in the future."
All these of course is just high level speculating. -
Actually it depends on whom you ask.Originally posted by xXStormFallXx:What was before the big bang? Okay so the universe was an ultra-dense little singularity, but when it was like that, what was around it? Space? If so where did that space come from?

There is something called quantum theory simaliar to the tree theory but not totally similar.Originally posted by SixSentinels:There is another theory, that our Universe isnt the only one, and that each Universe is like a small leaf existing on a big tree, and that each big bang is like the growing and dying of a leaf. This shows that Universes never cease to exist because leaves will keep on growing and dropping off the tree...any thoughts on this?
Whenever a quantum measurement is taken, the universe will split into many universe based on the factors and predicted calculations and from there, it will choose the most fine tuned one.
It must be stressed that quantum theory does exist anywhere. An example: I an going out to buy some soft drinks but I an wondering whether I should go... my local convenient store or 7 Eleven? Based on these two choices, I can only assume I will go to either one of them but I can predict the other. -

Like if 2 people were to travel towards each other half way between the distance that they were apart, stop and then do it again; they will never meet. -
If quantum theory is accurate, that means there is virtually millons of our own universe, slightly different from each other, based on the decisions & actions that we make. From there, the universe will select the one that is most fine-tuned for our survival, because if its not fine-tuned, we will not survive to see it!

What do you guys think of the Steady State theory (that opposes the Big Bang)? Personally I think the BB theory makes more sense with regards to properties of physics...

Actually quantum theory couldn't care less whether the universe exist or not, much less select the most fined tuned? If there are no observers, the the universe is not in existence. There is only a probability of the universe's existence but not the universe's existence? What's your take?Originally posted by Lim Wei Ming:If quantum theory is accurate, that means there is virtually millons of our own universe, slightly different from each other, based on the decisions & actions that we make.

Our brain consists of atoms which all has quantum behaviour. That's the problem. Its not until the mind comes into play that the answer is given out. It is said that we still do not fully understand the relationship between the mind and the brain. Sciencetist John Wheeler has even concluded that it is in fact the mind that brought the universe into life.Originally posted by casino_king:Actually quantum theory couldn't care less whether the universe exist or not, much less select the most fined tuned?

i say many times already, we're instances of objects in a lifeform simulation program as an experiment done by real people. it will end in 2 hours of their time!

I think it is just speculation to the extreme if the conclusion are based on Quantum Theory. Quantum Theory by itself is silent on the relationship between mind and "answer."Originally posted by Lim Wei Ming:Our brain consists of atoms which all has quantum behaviour. That's the problem.
