perplexed. He does not understand that his universe of one dimensional mass is a circle, containing two dimensions, including right and left. Suppose the Big Bang kicked off an object like an expanding balloon, with the Big Bang having occurred in the middle. That would be the same as a two dimensional universe, except that instead of being like a flat bed sheet, it would be like the balloon. And the two dimensional creature wonders the same thing about the edge of his universe. In his attempts to walk to the edge, he too ends up back where he started from with a perplexed expression. (Evidently a perplexed expression needs only one or two dimensions to accomplish.) He does not understand his universe of two dimensional mass has three dimensions, including up and down. And suppose the Big Bang kicked off an object shaped like an expanding (?). It would be just like our three dimensional universe, except that it is not shaped like a solid ball, it is shaped like a (?). And the three dimensional creature also wonders about the edge of his universe with the same efforts previously explained. Only instead of walking, he uses a starship (Enterprise) to go where no man has gone before, the edge of the universe. And surprise, surprise, surprise, he ends up back where he started. Because he doesn't understand his universe of three dimensional mass actually has four dimensions, including yik and yak. And there you have a possible explanation. As the great man said; the universe is curved and you will end up back where you started. But, just for the sake of another argument, let us return to the idea of gravitational pull on the attempt to reach the edge of the universe. Let us suppose the attempt uses universal escape velocity. Does he then escape his universe, since he can obviously escape gravitation, and with sufficient speed and power, reach the edge. No, I think not. I think that then he, himself, becomes the edge of his expanding universe. He does not leave it; he becomes his universe's forward scout in that particular direction. But he is still a part of his universe, having warped his universe in the direction he is going. I would like to pose a question. Is there anything left at the point, (I use the word "point" loosely) where the Big Bang (Burp) took place. Logic says that all has expanded outward in all dimensions from that "point". Little is left at the point in the air where the grenade exploded. Why would there be much left where the Big Bang took place. Is there then a near vacuum in that spot? Nature abhors a vacuum? Does that mean the "steady state theory" applies after all? The "steady state theory" says that as matter becomes sparser in an area because of expansion, other material is formed to take its place. And, it seems that enough energy can form mass. So, is the "steady state theory" viable, or is there an empty expanding hole in the spot where the Big Bang took place? As long as we are on the Big Bang, we should consider something else. If there was one Big Bang, there is no reason why there couldn't be an infinite (I use the word infinite loosely) number of Big Bangs. An outside observer (using the impossible as an example) might make note of them popping off all over the place. But the inside observer (using yourself as ...... continued on next page Previous Page <-> Next Page |
