Could future scientists be responsible for the origin of the universe?
(There could be a time paradox in there somewhere)
Looking forward to your answer & reason(s) for your answer.
Switchy
I was going to post a very abstract answer there, But i think that only RMT would get it!
I donāt think so, no.
I think that you will find that paradoxes will always find a way not to exist. wether its a universal āloopholeā, or the total collapse of a dimension for example (iām classing a ādimensionā here as one manifestation of an alterante material universe as i dont much know about the workings of non-material ones).
I think it is absurd to think that people in a physical incarnation will ever actually have the means at their disposal (all based within the 3rd and possibly 4th dimesnion) to create the universe.
In the distant future they will have the means to manipulate it, but never the scenario what you are putting forward.
kind regards,
Olly
This is a paralax view and I dont have any comment.
Switchy,
Could future scientists be responsible for the origin of the universe?
Its actually a very interesting question and the answer isnāt quite self-evident. Its theoretically possible even if not very likely.
Igor Novikov is a theoretical physicist who has been working on time travel solutions for many years. Heās been researching self-consistency issues (paradoxes) looking for solutions to the problem. Heās even coined a legitimate term - jinn. It comes from the Arabic word jinni (Genie). Jinns are particles that are caught in a closed time-like curve (CTC). They have a circular path through time-space. They have no creation point and they never decay. They just āareā - like magic - never having been created.
He even postulates that it might be possible for the particle to interact with itself if it were to loop back and meet itself in the past.
Heās posed some theoretical work that just might allow for such particles to exist. The math and theory seem to work at near Planckās Length but they probably donāt work on the macro scale (which obviously would include the entire universe).
Butā¦who knows?
Hereās a link to one of his major papers on Lanl:
āTime machines and the Principle of Self-Consistency as a consequence of the Principle of Stationary Actionā
http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/gr-qc/9607063
The paper was peer reviewed and accepted for publication Int.J.Mod.Phys. D5 (1996) 445-480.
http://xxx.lanl.gov/ cool page, over 300 hits for ātime travelā, thnx Darby.
Raz,
Youāre welcome. You probably already know this but āLANLā is the Los Alamos National Laboratories. LANL hosts ArXiv (archive) where scientists publish their papers online.
