New evidence that our universe is a hologram - Phaedrus - 04-09-2020 Strange idea, right? Quote:One of the great mysteries of modern cosmology is how our universe can be so thermally uniform—the vast cosmos is filled with the lingering heat of the Big Bang. Over time, it has cooled to a few degrees above absolute zero, but it can still be seen in the faint glow of microwave radiation, known as the cosmic microwave background. In any direction we look, the temperature of this cosmic background is basically the same, varying by only tiny amounts. But according to the standard “cold dark matter” model of cosmology, there wasn’t enough time for hotter and cooler regions of the early universe to even out. Even today we would expect parts of the cosmic background to be much warmer than others, but that isn’t what we observe.

What could the universe possibly be a hologram of? As I understand it, on a meta level it is a type of structure. It doesn't have to be like a photograph, nor does it have to be a Matrix-like environment built by some being or beings outside of our spacetime. It is more like a way of looking at matter and energy as simply information organized at a certain level in a certain way. That organization could in principle either be self-organization or at some other impetus like depicted in the Matrix (and therefore need not and should not assume deities). In addition, none of this changes what we know, which is what it's like to experience sentience in spacetime. It is simply one way of theorizing about how that spacetime is structured. We already know for example that concrete is actually mostly empty space, but this doesn't change what it's like to experience falling on concrete from the top of a 10 story building. Gravity is a weak force and momentum is easily canceled even by something that's mostly empty space -- but that's not how a scientifically uninformed person would ever be apt to think of it, apart from the very rare Einstein-like mind. RE: New evidence that our universe is a hologram - Dancefortwo - 04-09-2020 Yabut what if the evidence they're looking at is a hologram in and of itself and not the real universe. Silly scientists. RE: New evidence that our universe is a hologram - Link - 04-09-2020 Cool article. And not strange at all. RE: New evidence that our universe is a hologram - Gawdzilla Sama - 04-09-2020 "No" is not spelled "New". Write that down. RE: New evidence that our universe is a hologram - Free - 04-10-2020 To me, the current Big Bang model needs to be modified as it really doesn't make any sense in nature. I prefer to think of the Big Bang as being the result of a supermassive black hole, and it was localized in our part of the observable universe. It did not create the universe, but rather all expended energy from the black hole transformed naturally and eventually became the objects we see in the observable universe. As the mass and energy of a black hole shrinks, its gravitational effects on space also decreases and expansion naturally occurs. And it wasn't the only big bang to occur. A big bang is merely the recycling of energy and matter, first being trapped by the titanic gravitational forces, breaking all matter down to energy over billions of years, and as the black hole evaporates particles escape from the event horizon and get transformed eventually into different forms of matter and energy. Therefore, my position is that big bangs via black holes occur constantly all through an eternal universe, recycling energy and matter endlessly. This position eliminates an origin to the universe, and solves the puzzle of "what came before the Big Bang?" The answer? Everything. RE: New evidence that our universe is a hologram - Gawdzilla Sama - 04-10-2020 OR a SMBH in another universe with a different time scale shows as a white hole in this universe, and all the material gathered by the SMBH is all the material we have now.

What could the universe possibly be a hologram of? In the simplest sense, if matter is mostly empty space (and I agree in the sense that a baseball in a sports stadium is like a nucleus and electrons are buzzing around the seats) it is the energy field that creates the impenetrability and (in some way) mass of objects. Which is why my computer sits on the desk and doesn't just fall though.

The CMB is effectively the leftover heat of the Big Bang itself. However, at the event horizon of a black hole the material being pulled into the hole’s gravity well is accelerated to near the speed of light. The molecules of the material collide with such vigour that it is heated up to a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees. As a black hole evaporates, space expands and with it goes the leftover heat from the event horizon of a black hole in very much the same way the Big bang model theorizes, and that explains the CMB from a Black Hole. This isn't my idea. RE: New evidence that our universe is a hologram - Deesse23 - 04-12-2020 (04-12-2020, 01:37 PM)Free Wrote: This isn't my idea.Whose idea is it?

From your Nature.com article: Quote:The picture has some problems, however. Earlier this year, the European Space Agency's Planck space observatory released data that mapped the slight temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background — the relic radiation that carries imprints of the Universe’s early moments. The observed patterns matched predictions made by the standard Big Bang model and inflation, but the black-hole model deviates from Planck's observations by about 4%. Hoping to resolve the discrepancy, Afshordi says that his is now refining its model.

I have confidence they will come up with a very credible hypothesis for that. As I stated earlier, if the Big Bang was actually a Black Hole, it explains a lot and it answers some very puzzling questions, such as: Q: What existed before the universe? A: A better question would be, "What existed before the observable universe?" The answer would be the un-observable universe. Q: What is the universe expanding into? A: Again a better question would be, "What is the observable universe expanding into?" And again the answer would be the un-observable universe.

At this point we dont need to discuss the updated black hole theory, since you obviously dont go by the evidence but by some other standard. I am interested in evidence based thinking.

Considering that a Black Hole clearly makes far more sense than a Big Bang singularity that defies all reason, and there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of a Big Bang model singularity positively existing but there is evidence of back holes positively existing ... do you really want to talk about who has better evidence when this theory has a bird in the hand while yours only has two in the bush? A 4% deviation in observation isn't anywhere enough to change any reasonable mind. |
