Something Stephen Hawking speculated on recently is that there could be an array of universes (each having started from their own big bang) throughout space. We may be in one of many (perhaps infinite) universes.

What difference does it make?
Well, many people still question how such a thing as the "big bang" could have got started. Indeed, it is hard to accept that could have happened on it's own (with no God) if it was just a one off.Quote:

If big bangs are just a natural consequence of the laws of physics, you would expect there to be more than one.
The question, 'do you disagree with the big bang theory?' was aimed at Honeybee. What I asked you was, 'what difference does it make?' That was in response to your suggestions about multiple universes. Does it make a perceptible difference?Quote:

You really don't understand the purpose of science attall if you think that science conclusively prooves anything.Quote:
We do not conclusively know if the universe really was created from the big bang. It could just have been some small explosion inside a huge universe, which created a few more galaxies...
Currently "big bang" theory is the best avaiable. Your theory is simply not as well corroborated by the evidence.
True, a better theory may one day come along but we will never conclusively proove anything.
© MEGAMANS THEORY OF A 'SPHERICAL UNIVERSE'
I think the universe as we know its spherical-- and thus giving the illusion that it is infinite--
like if you travel around the globe you could go around it a million times lol -- doesnt end until you start going through it you know what i mean, if you go through a globe as opposed to around you find that it ends at some point.
maybe we are on the 'surface' of the universe-- and since we havent gone through or dont know how-- its seems neverending..
also the sphere is so big you cant figure out when you'll come back around from the other side.
hows that for a contribution! lol
compare yourselves to the explorers who thought the world dropped off at some edge..
The prevelance of wave functions (sin,cos,tan) is relevant in almost every system we are familiar with, even in BINARY and atomic structures, "off" and "on", can be depicted as the 0 and 360 degrees of a circle, or the MAX and MIN of any Sinusodial wave.
in cosmos from micro to macro this idea seems consistent.

can anyone think of something that would support or kill this theory? :eek:
