Suppose I wanted to create a new universe in my lab. What would I need to get started?
The question may seem absurd. After all, the universe is enormous. It is billions of years old and, as far as we know, it contains all that ever existed and ever will exist. Still it appears that all this—including space, time, energy and matter—came into being with the Big Bang. If so, everything we know was created out of nothing. Or was it really? If it is possible to create a universe from nothing—except perhaps from some rules like in a computer program—what is to stop us from doing exactly that some time in the future? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
