TIA, AGIf it's infinite and you multiply it by an infinitesimal scale factor...it can still be infinite. Brent I could be fixated on an erroneous pov, but if the observable and unobservable regions obey the same laws of physics, and the former is getting progressively smaller as we go back in time -- both as spatial extent and as space-time -- for either to be infinite at t=0, via tunneling or whatever, seems to suggest a discontinuity. Or going the other way, from infinite at the tunneling or creation "moment", to finite in virtually no time duration, is equally hard to process. AGSo is it your view the universe starts out flat, tunnels through the vacuum as an infinite spatial hyperplane, and the expansion just means. for example, that the average distance between galaxies has been increasing, from their formation until present?

I'm not a cosmologist, but it's a possible view. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
