Salyavin, I think the 2 simplest answers are: the universe never started; it just always was or, the universe is starting at every nanosecond. Which one of these is most wobbly, do you think? Hmmm, well the first can be disproved because the universe is expanding, if it's getting bigger it must once have been smaller. Amazingly if you run the whole thing backwards you can get everything in it to a state where it was infinitely dense and infinitely hot. From there the maths describes exactly what we see and in the order it must have appeared. There's a book called "Universe: the first three minutes" that goes into it in some detail. But what was there before it? A better question might be: what could have been there before it? Perhaps the death of a previous universe? Apparently not, which is good because it spares us an infinite regress. According to Hawking there could have been a universe with time running backwards - but I know not why! One thing is very likely and that it existed in a state of perfect symmetry - Buck's beloved unified field - all the forces we see now folded back into one miniscule space/time event. The thing about symmetry is that it doesn't last and it would have broken up as soon as it appeared, try balancing a pencil on its end for the same effect. That's about as small and wobbly as anyone has got; if there was nothing there would instantly have to be something. If it didn't make sense I'd think it was bonkers too... but it's the simplest explanation and even the maths adds up but if there's more to it I cannot say. Our anti-woo woo pal Victor Stenger, wrote a paper showing how quantum tunnelling could have started the process, this means that there was a probability of it happening simply because the first electron had a probability of being there. And so it was. I can't comment on it because I haven't heard anyone else say that quantum probability is a time based event as well as a spatial one. But a single electron wobbling backwards and forwards in time is a small and wobbly event indeed. So I'll stop there.

What do you think is the source of creation? Sound waves won't travel through space. Let's be clear, god couldn't be the source of creation as he would have had to exist before it. Therefore he wasn't the beginning. So it's no explanation because unless you account for the existence of god you are just pushing the required start time further back. It's all just a way of saying it was magic. But what we know from magic tricks here is that someone must have thought of it and knows how it works, and the only way we know of for the sort of required complexity for magic tricks to arise is through evolution, and if god evolved then he might as well not have existed as we don't need him as an explanation anymore because the universe must just have been existing before the bit we live in did and his bit had evolved like our bit with him in it. An infinite regress. So our bit might just as well be considered the first bit because the initial conditions would be the same and you still won't have explained where the bit he lived in came from. God is not an answer, it's a way of saying that you don't know what question to ask and would rather not think about it. But that's OK, it's the human default mode when confronted with the inexplicable. Maybe we won't ever be able to be absolutely certain about how the universe started, but like all complex things it will turn out to have a simple explanation. They always do. Some sort of wobbly quantum flux thing probably.

And the image of an ocean wave traveling through the ocean water. Maybe like that, sound travels through the medium of space or silence. I think what John meant by "start of creation" was the beginning rather than the source. Sound travels through silence. Interesting... Something before creation. Even more interesting... I'm sure there's an answer. And I'm also sure this isn't it. But your theory is fun too (-: It's a good book, I haven't read it since I was 17 but it stuck in the mind better than 90% of the bible did. It's got strong characters, a good moral message, mystic visions, a battle between good and evil. All the things a religious text could ask for! And if you can't be bothered to wade through its 900 pages there's a movie in production even as we type.

The concept of sound as the start of creation is similar to the Ved, which MMY explains is the constitution of the universe. How can you have both? And what is sound without a medium for it to travel in, and if there was a medium for it to travel in then it isn't the source of creation. That's the trouble with these religious types, they only look as far into something as to have their prejudices confirmed. I'm working on a theory that the opening chapter of Stephen King's "The Stand" is the foundation of the universe because I happen to think its a great book. ---In [email protected], <hepa7@...> wrote : The Hebrew Language is The DNA of Creation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od-xkRDw6nk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od-xkRDw6nk The Hebrew Language is The DNA of Creation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od-xkRDw6nk Rabbi Mordechai Kraft important message scroll down ! ! ! important message : for all non jews that watch this video if you want to have a shar...
