Big Bang Cosmology Goes Completely Nuts

PSI Blog 20241125 Big Bang Cosmology Goes Completely Nuts

 

According to the latest outrage, quantum fluctuations could cause the entire universe to disappear.

Egads! The ridiculosity of the “Last Creation Myth” never ceases to amaze. New Scientist magazine, its perpetual promoter, has just reached the end of the road. At least the finale below is logically consistent: a finite universe that exploded out of nothing should disappear into nothing. Previous demises included the “heat death of the universe” misinterpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics without the Sixth Assumption of Science, complementarity (All things are subject to divergence and convergence from other things). That trope was slightly more believable for those accustomed to the Eighth Assumption of Religion, finity (The universe is finite, both in the microcosmic and macrocosmic directions). That magical dying was terminally slow, but this one really “takes the cake”:

 

Author Miram Frankel writes:

 

“it has become clearer that the Higgs is – according to the standard model – metastable. ‘The measurements are now so good that we pretty much know that we are in that metastable range,’ says Rajantie.

 

Assuming there’s no mistake, the universe is doomed – we just don’t know when the big slurp will happen. Based on the shape of these valleys, it is likely to be in billions of years. But it could be tomorrow.”

 

[GB: Just a little background: The only thing the latest particle accelerator discovered for its $10 billion cost was the “Higgs Boson,” which is highly suspect according to physicist Alexander Unzicker.[1] On top of that, the Higgs Boson has a half-life of 10^-22 seconds—sounds pretty unstable to me—like maybe “nonexistent.” And the regressive physicists consider Dr. Unzicker to be the one who is a crank!

 

I guess the universe going out with a quantum fluctuation is no worse than its being born of one as proposed in Krauss’s “A Universe from Nothing,” which our good late friend Doogie reviewed here. Of course, the idea of “nothing” is just that, an idea. It is purely imaginary like all idealizations. It is not possible for the Infinite Universe not to exist per the Eighth Assumption of Science, infinity (The universe is infinite, both in the microcosmic and macrocosmic directions).

 

Here is Frankel’s article (read this smattering for kicks and posterity):

 

The universe could vanish at any moment – why hasn’t it?

 

“A cataclysmic quantum fluctuation could wipe out everything at any moment. The fact that we’re still here is revealing hidden cosmic realities.”

 

[GB: You bet. Of course, the answer to the existential “why hasn’t it?” is that it always has been here per Infinite Universe Theory. Imagined unrealities always bump up against realities, yielding answers to those “deep questions” the religiously inclined never can answer.”
