Three Ways Universes Might Come Into Being
by David Sims
THINGS come into existence in accordance with probability distributions. The observable phenomenon called the Casimir Effect is an example. If you hang two conductive (e.g. aluminum, copper) plates in parallel and near to each other, they will prevent the random appearance of fluctuations of vacuum energy having a wavelength longer than the plates’ separation. This will reduce the vacuum pressure between the plates, making the pressure on their outside faces higher than the pressure on their inside faces. The plates will be pushed together by nothing more than a differential in vacuum energy.
The Casimir Effect is important because it proves a predicted result of the uncertainty principle in quantum physics: That random fluctuations of energy in vacuum occur. Most of them are too weak to cause pair production, such as the creation of an electron-positron particle pair, but a small fraction of vacuum fluctuations can and do.
These energy fluctuations probably follow a Planck distribution, such that the higher is the energy of the fluctuation you’re looking for, the rarer will be the occasions on which you find one. However, rare isn’t never. However great the energy you require, if you wait long enough, then it will happen. Long enough might involve more time than the present age of the Universe, but it is still true in principle.
The Planck energy [ √(ћc⁵/G) = 1.956082e+9 J ] is very, very large on the quantum scale, but if an energy fluctuation were to bring into being that much energy in a small enough space, it would instantly be enclosed by an event horizon. It would be a quantum-sized black hole. Black holes have no antiparticle, and these particular black holes would violate the conservation of energy locally were they to decay by Hawking radiation. So what they do instead is detach from our Universe and take up a separate existence in a spacetime having only a single quantum state or a small number thereof, depending on how quantum gravity works — which we don’t know yet.
These circumstances violate the uncertainty principle, resulting in the decay of the singular quantum state into a plurality of states, in a process of which you might have heard called inflation.
This is one of the hypothesized ways in which new universes are born. No gods required.
Now there are two other hypotheses that, while not scientific themselves (they aren’t presently testable), arise from what has become known from science. One of them is eternal inflation. The other is the Everett (or many-worlds) interpretation of quantum mechanics.
So, we have three candidate processes for the genesis of universes, and none of them involve creator gods.

Fascinating stuff! This is right up my alley!
Anyone with a brain knows that there is this big old bearded JEW in the sky that conjured the universe up in just six days, then he rested.
How does this apply to flying saucers and time-travel, both of which we would have now if it were not for the Dark Ages . . .
Greetings Arvin. We’ve got it half-implemented. We can travel into the future but can’t return :). As for flying saucers, they come from Earth and one landed on Mars a few years ago. The WW2 Germans had several large piloted discopter aircraft that flew. See UFO section in Rense.com
In the 1940s Alexander Weygers patented a practical flying saucer in the US. It is basically a helicopter with the fan underneath, steered by air jets.

I wouldn’t want to be in one if it flipped over. These days however they could be computer controlled.
I will say directly that the source of religion is not belief in God, but the question of what time is as a physical and material structure. it is this question that just pushes logically towards god In fact, time is a very complex mechanism. Time itself cannot be a god. Time has a specific creator The timing is not perfect. The basis here is interaction Mind of consciousness formed in time The world existing in time And the god who made time. Roughly speaking, religion is not necessarily a belief in pagan gods, by and large it is a way to take power or make it take over you that can exist outside of time.
But isn’t it just that a hypothesis. How can you prove hypothesis, which you can’t. This article doesn’t make since, its as bad as the big bang theory, so a collusion of nothing came into being and wham, bang thank you ma’am. The education system is full of theories, but they are just that, theories. What laws are humans supposed to follow? So we make our own rules as we go along without consequences. But I guess if you can have blind faith in this I can have blind faith in God.
There is much, much evidence for quantum fluctuations at very small scales. There is also much, much evidence that the “Bible” is an utterly and ridiculously false imposture. That, in my view, doesn’t mean there is no purpose or Creator, though. It’s just that we’ve been thinking about these things in the wrong way, misled by Jewish mind poison such as the Bible. If God is truth; and truth is Nature; and all that is, is Nature — where does that leave us? Cosmotheism. Mathematics, physics, and genetics are the true words of God. They are real, and cannot be faked. Science, incomplete as it always is, is still the best way we have discovered for ascertaining these truths. It is truly a sacred endeavor. Jews and others who corrupt… Read more »
I respect your views and I completely understand where you come from. We follow that which is pure, innocent and righteous. That humble us to a greater truth and leads us to eternal life. We choose that which has not been corrupted as those that corrupt the word of God, it is pure venality and self serving. We are still united by the same cause and I hope that it can bring us together. If he can be for us, who can be against us.
