How can you find yourself anything but alive?

... but just being alive is too soon to celebrate. When you find yourself alive, its time to evaluate the circumstances ... As a baby you realize you are hungry and all you can figure out to do is cry. (Once you get past the diaper stage, you learn to ask for sweets, lol.) At some point you realize that you won't live forever, and building a pyramid didn't prove to be a solution. I predict that is when being philosophical really kicks in  .

I don't believe there is any irrefutable evidence though that says there was a beginning

There indeed is no irrefutable evidence of it. The big bang theory itself does not preclude it, but neither does it give any meaning to the phrase 'before the big bang'.

True. And the phrase, "before the Big Bang", loses any sort of special "singularity"
 in a multiple big bang cosmological scenario where you have to ask, "before which big bang", lol.

However, now we do understand that the Universe was already infinite before the Big Bang.
Therefore, the time was ticking long before the Big Bang moment.

The current assumption is that time started at the Big Bang, which would make these two assertions incorrect.

So, please are you sure that we can bypass the law of physics while the time was already there?

There is no need to bypass the laws of physics. The energy was always there since the beginning of time.

My premise is that there was no beginning, i.e., space, time, matter and energy have always existed. I do agree with the multiple occurrences of Big Bang events, but I like to say that they occur here and there, now and then, when gravity accumulates so much matter that the resulting accumulation (Big Crunch) reaches critical capacity and collapses/bounces into expansion (a big bang). The very first moment of time might be construed to be an event particular to each big bang arena in a multiple big bang scenario, meaning that there may not be an initial beginning, but that each big bang arena has its own beginning.

The " New Theories " section limits Us to be inside the bounds Logical Reasoning & Critical Thinking...

Maybe, U should create a New OP in the " Just Chat " section..

& name it ' Wild Speculative Imagination '.

P.S. - lol
😇
(angel smiles emoji)

Maybe "New Theories" does limit us to some reasonable logic, but we are posting in the "On the Lighter Side" sub-form, which by its name, seems to summons some degree of speculation and maybe limited flights of imagination. I think this thread is within the forum guidelines, but whether my thinking overall would be considered logical probably calls for a subjective conclusion.

Then what happens if there are really " Multiple Universes " but no way for Us to observe, measure or obtain any evidence for Them?

...

Then we'd never know; but going with the idea that there is just one, infinite, eternal universe solves that problem,     Now on to the next problem ... What if there is just one infinite universe?

We'd never be able to stop looking and probing deeper into space because it seems to be human nature to keep trying to find the limits of things.

Returning back to the Original flavour of this OP...

The Observable Edge of the Universe is drifting away FTL, Correct?

I'm not sure ...

So if there ever was to be a new BB at the Farthest Edge of the Universe, how would/could We Observe it?

I was thinking that one possible sign of a distant BB might be a gamma ray burst.?

If WE cannot Observe/Measure it & there ain't no Data/Evidence for it, does it then mean it's Not Real?

I'd say no, though you do need some evidence to support a theory. But speculation can be fun, lol.

P.S. - i wonder if the Universe is what We make off of it, based on Our species potential & capacity of Understanding.

(human brain emoji)

I guess it is what we make of it, but maybe if we were more brainy we could make more sense of it.

I remember driving out into the high dessert from Las Vegas back in the 70's and coming to petrified bones sticking out of the side of the rocks. I found a rock just lying there that looks like a fragment of a skull bone. I put it in my suitcase and to this day it is sitting in my yard in Florida. I hope my yard doesn't get mistaken as an original dinosaur habitat someday, lol. I should probably use Zero's picture posting instructions and post a picture of it, but compared to what anyone can Google, my Dino pic would be very unremarkable

My apologies for not being able to grok what you're asking. Possibly you're not even responding to my post.

I'm the one failing to make the point clear, that both the hospitable environment and the advanced intelligence exist here today, so we have "beat the odds" so to speak.

With the Basic ingredients for Life scattered across the Cosmos, How is it possible that Intelligent Life never emerged elsewhere before Us?

It seems probable that life emerges when the elements and conditions are conducive, but those conditions are not common, and the resources don't sustain life long enough to reliably evolve to intelligence :shrug:

If They were Truly Intelligent, How could They have not survived the Great Filter?

Fill me in on the Great Filter ...

I'm Very Optimistic about Life originating elsewhere, a little Realistic when it comes to Intelligence emerging elsewhere, but forced to be Pessimistic when Absolute Silence abounds all across the Universe.

I agree. Earth and human intelligence being a "one off" occurrence does seem improbable,

P.S. - How Odd would it be, if We are the Only Ones out here all Alone!
👽

It is our nature to speculate and to calculate the odds, but the "as yet" unknowns will always haunt us until we find the answers.

Our history emerges out of a past that is speculatively marked by an infinite number of civilizations, on Earth and/or anywhere else in the infinite universe, where intelligent beings could have existed. And it can be suspected that many have held beliefs in various Gods, religions, and myths. It may be the case that most of those beliefs have been lost in time and across the vast reaches of space.

What has survived for us here on Earth covers a vanishingly short history relative to the amount of time that has passed in our tiny corner of space, and the point can be made that that corner of space is no more than a tiny blip when measured against the infinite universe.

Beyond Earth's brief existence lies the infinity of past time, and the possibility of an infinite number of occurrences of intelligence across distant habitats. Though Earth has arrived at what I would call an almost unimaginable present time, it is almost nothing, almost nowhere, almost never, relative to the infinity of space and time.

If we could accept an "edit" to the details of the Big Bang Theory

That's like accepting an edit to 2+2=4 to 2+3=4. A simple change, but the mathematics don't work anymore. You are free to still believe that 2+3=4 because it makes you feel happy, but it isn't a valid theory. You are also utterly free to ignore where people point out where 2+3=4 doesn't work and continue asserting it, and even asking if anything is wrong with it.

True. TRUE.
That is why I hypothesize out here on the "lighter side", and I don't call my rantings a theory; they are ideas for discussion.

I like that model because I can see the eternal repeating process of crunch/bang. It would fit my Infinite Spongy Universe Model better though if it encompassed an infinite volume of space, multiple Big Bangs occurring here and there, now and then, as crunches reach some gravitational limit (critical capacity), whereupon the crunches Bang .

I think Big Bangs happen all the time, here and there, now and then, but are far removed from each other in space, and are preceded by a lengthy period of gravitational accumulation of matter (into a lump) from a swath of surrounding space.  The growth of the crunch continues to a point of "critical mass", which when reached, the local gravitational force defeats the atomic forces at work within and among atoms, and the crunch fails/collapses with a Bang.


What's wrong with that scenario?

I'm sure there is a lot wrong with that scenario in the Mainstream point of view, but I am not offended when considered a fringe character. The simple scenario that I propose has been stated above in single paragraphs, and often in single sentences, with only passing admission that I don't shy away from what goes against the mainstream; sorry for using this "on the lighter side, new theories" sub-forum space to expose my alternative ideas, but the places where wild ideas can be stated in reputable forums like this one are few.

Out here On the Lighter Side/New Theories, I feel I can say why I think the universe exists.


It is simply that the universe has always existed, so there is no alternative to its existence.


It doesn't exist because there was a Creation event sometime in the past, and it doesn't exist through some chance convergence of great forces at the beginning of time, it simple has always been here.

I've talked about the idea of multiple big bangs. Given the supposed infinity of space and the eternity of time, the conclusion that there could have been more than one big bang doesn't seem to antagonize anyones sensitivities.

I've made it clear that I think that space is infinite, and it is filled with much the same kind of things as we observe in the space that we can see. That is not to say that somewhere in the unfathomable expanse beyond our view that there aren't things that will be surprising. Certainly there are things we will never know about, or understand. The unknowns are many and our chances of knowing most of them are slim.


But if we pay attention to how our knowledge of the universe is expanding all the time, there is reason to believe that the "as yet unknowns" will gradually be resolved.


I hope that we are able to find intelligent life out there so that we might have a chance to expand our knowledge in giant steps on the shoulders of other advanced life forms and civilizations.
