Comments on: The vastness of space and the beginning of infinity/2024/10/20/the-vastness-of-space-and-the-beginning-of-infinity/The goal of this blog is to create a long list of facts that are important, not trivia, and that are known to be true yet are either disputed by large segments of the public or highly surprising or misunderstood by many.Sun, 02 Feb 2025 06:31:00 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/By: thomasstigwikman/2024/10/20/the-vastness-of-space-and-the-beginning-of-infinity/comment-page-1/#comment-2295Sun, 26 Jan 2025 04:35:53 +0000/?p=741#comment-2295In reply to World Questioner.

With respect to what I call super facts, you are right. Scientific theories are not super facts, not because they are not correct, but because they are frame works, models, explanations for facts, rather than a singular fact. Also, speculation cannot be a super fact, since I require super facts to be accepted as true (or very likely to be true) by scientists/experts/. However, only about half of my posts are super fact posts. I have posted book reviews and other fact related topics. I’ve read a book by Nobel price winner Roger Penrose called Cycles of Time where he presents his Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, a theory in which an infinite number of Big Bangs are happening subsequently and eternally, but not via expnasion and contraction, but rather extreme or infinite expansion eventually becoming the next Big Bang. As for now that is speculation, but he claims we can see evidence for it in the cosmic background microwave radiation. I could always write a book review without calling it a super fact post.

What caused the Big Bang? What caused the cause of the Big Bang? And what caused the cause of the cause of the Big Bang? And so on.
But theories and speculations are out of the scope for this blog. Only super facts are in the scope of this blog.

I saw it, it was really good!

I had to look that up. It sounds like a movie I might love. It is funny I’ve never heard of it. I see they sell it on Amazon.

Yes you are right. The numbers concerning our solar system and the observable universe are based on calculations but the multiverse numbers are essentially guesses. There might be some evidence for Roger Penrose’s conformal cyclic cosmology in the microwave background radiation, but as I understand everything else regarding multiverses is more or less speculation.
