I haven't noticed any particular delay between posting and the post

Mind you I consider myself very moderate...

Ronald,
the ad hoc is because of the introduction of the inflatons which do
nothing but, um, inflate...

I do not know that the ekpyrotic and cyclic models reprodce the

Yes, no one knows what the inflation field is, but no one has observed
a gluon or single quark either.

Getting back to the original question: Are ALL quantum variations explored?
So let me ask some more basic questions:
How many distinct choices of new state does a particle, say an electron,
have at each time quanta?
Let's call that number X.
In an admittedly over-simplified universe of two
I do not see the Inflation paradigm as ad-hoc, for it explains the
flatness, Horizon problem and lack of early universe relics better
than any other to date. Now the Big Bang may be replaced by
oscillating solutions from LQG or other theories, but AFAIK they still
need an Inflation period.
?

Hi,
Naive question: do physicists reconcile a really flat universe and
the big bang theory? I don't see how.
you mean this problem?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang#Flatness.2Foldness_problem
Inflationary theories give a solution, but it is a bit ad hoc.
I am not a big fan of Big Bang
So you are saying the mass of the universe is infinite.
I mean the number of particles is infinite (mass is a characteristic of some
particles). It is still possible it could be finite but unbounded, and just
extremely extremely large, but unless there's a logical reason it would
appear

That depends on definitions! What counts as a history, and when do
we count them? In order for the number of histories to be merely a
fantastically large and growing number, we need to be inside of time

I understand. I was trying ask about whether or not, if there were say
10^10^10 slits, would the electron go through all of them. Do we know for
sure?
Also, I want the inside of time answer. Right now, in the multiverse, it
seems like the number of differentiated states may be a very large

You can perform the experiment with a thin grid instead of slits and get
similar patterns. But 10^10^10 in the traditional top-down way is a
Thank you.
However, I don't understand your objection to an infinite number of states.
The universe in which we live appears by current measurements to be
infinite
in size (because it is geometrically flat), and will last forever (because
its expansion is hastening).
Yes, but space may be
Yes, but space may be simply the coordinate system in which matter and
energy move. Even if the coordinate system is infinite, it doesn't matter
because the particles' occupy a finite (but growing) part of it.
I don't think your conceptualization of an expanding universe is correct.
No
So you are saying the mass of the universe is infinite.

I don't like infinity so I'm hoping you say no.
