Would be a neat explanation for the engine driving the epoch of inflation... also wonder what the implications would be for the multiverse hypothesis that relies upon a mechanism of eternal inflation (leading to an infinity of bubble universes), if inflation is instead an extremely short lived phenomena driven by the latent energy of cosmic knots. All speculative, but nevertheless also thought provoking. I especially like how it would provide a mechanism for why we experience a 3-D + time geometry and not some other number of dimensions.-Chris Why is our universe three dimensional?

Cosmic knots could untangle the mystery Next time you’re untangling your earbuds, remember that knots may have played a crucial part in kickstarting our universe, and without them we wouldn’t live in 3D. That’s the strange story pitched by physicists in a new paper, to help plug a few plot | | | | -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
