One Big Bang Or Many ?

According to a radical new theory, the universe is at least 986 billion years older than physicists and probably even much older. Revolutionary studies show that time did not begin 14 billion years ago with a big bang. This massive explosion that created all the matter visible around us is one of the most recent. The standard Big Bang theory states that the universe began with a big bang, but the new theory suggests that it is a cyclical event that repeats big bangs. Neil Turok, a theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge, said, "Then people have thought that time has begun," and we have thought, "The proposal we are proposing is very serious. It is to say that there was a time before. The big bang."

According to his theory published today with Science with Paul Steinhart at Princeton University in New Jersey, the universe must be at least a trillion years old, which could contain very large explosions. The theory is that with each explosion, radiation and another terrifying explosion of matter expands into infinite space before filling it. "I think it's likely to be more than a trillion years old," Pro Turok said. "Time does not have to start. According to our theory, the universe can be infinitely old and infinitely large."

Many cosmologists believe that the universe will continue to expand until all the stars have burned up, but their cold dead remains remain. But there is an inherent problem with this film. The cosmological constant - a spiritual force originally posted by Albert Einstein that appears to separate galaxies - is small enough to fit the theory. Einstein later dismissed it as his "biggest mistake".

The cosmological constant is a mathematical representation of the energy of space, also known as "dark energy", a kind of gravitational force that pushes galaxies at a rapid rate. This compares to Gogol (1 after 100 zeros), which is smaller than the one created by the universe in the same Big Bang. The universe is much, much older than most experts but its value can be explained. There are policies that are constantly declining through time. But these processes take a long time, according to the standard theory, all the substances in the universe are completely dissolved during this time. Turok and Steinhart's theory is an alternative to another interpretation called the "anthropic theory", which argues that there may be a range of values ​​in different parts of the continuous universe, but that we live in a field favorable to life.

"Anthropological explanations are very controversial and many people do not like them," said Alexander Wilkin, a professor of theoretical physics at Tufts University in Massachusetts. He said that human theory gives a vague category rather than making accurate predictions about the properties of the universe, so it is difficult for physicists to test. "It's absolutely horrible, it really gives," said Professor Turok. "It says we can never understand the state of the universe. It must be the only way we can come into existence." On the contrary, his interpretation is based on the first principles. If he's right, how much time do we have until the next Big Bang? "We can not predict when this will happen with certainty - we can all say it will not happen in the next 10 billion years." Good job, because if we were around we would immediately be scattered in light mass particles.
