Deltaville's Brief History of Time - Part 1

Post Reply New Topic

This is a small guide to clear up some misconceptions in the thread 'Do you believe in God?' The main two arguments I have advanced are the impossibility of ex nihilo creation of the universe which I will discuss momentarily, and in the next part, why the notion that our universe is part of a larger multiverse is not a valid scientific endeavor. It will be divided into two parts, each given with their own thread.

PART 1

Creation from 'Nothing'

The following ideas come up very much from those who wish to eliminate God from creation in its entirety.
'
1) Myth#1 -11111+11111 or -1 + 1 = 0 = Free Universe or the Universe is the ultimate free 'lunch' nonsense/BS.

This is an idea advanced by some pseudo-intellectuals like Michio Kaku and Stephan Hawking. Unfortunately, this indicates that the two men are absolutely clueless about General Relativity. Our universe is essentially a closed system. That means Relativity tells us that it is completely impossible to determine how much energy a closed system (like our universe) contains, let alone the amount of it, or even the type of energy. Furthermore, this notion takes a further beating in the fact that a physicist will quickly run into chronological issues when confronted with idea. As energy can only be definable within an intangible length of time, it would take an infinite amount of time to generate any form of energy. That means, energy to exist within a said system, must be compeltely invariant to time, and thus such models will fail when embedded with a given time vector. Unless you use Wheeler-Dewitt which ignores time in its entirety, it will work! But of course the given notion is incorrect.

2) Myth#2 '...because there is a law like gravity, the universe will create itself.' - Hawking

Again Hawking ignores time variance, so essentially he defrauds his audience. If his idea was even remotely correct, our universe would already be in a heat death/big rip state and would have been eternal. BGV proves that this notion is not even remotely correct.

3) Myth#3 Quantum Flux generates universe(s) from nothing.

Again, anyone that studied quantum gravity or quantum loop theory will know the stupidity behind this notion. First and foremost, the atheist's worst enemy in physics a.k.a time variance returns, and is again confronted with the fact that for any virtual particle to emerge it must be generated from something known as a quantum vacuum. And a quantum vacuum is anything but nothing! In fact it is a pool of energy in which quantum flux can emerge from, and can form temporary virtual particles. And perhaps the most important notion to realize with this model is that translation of a quantum state to classical form is an extraordinarily difficult and misunderstood facet of theoretical physics, so it begs the question whether this 'quantum' flux model is of any use at all, for both theoretical and applied purposes in physics.

@Mods

Please removes - Part one from the thread title. I have decided to post the second part once it is done on the same thread.
