What If the Universe had No Beginning?

In this episode, we've embarked on an exciting journey into the heart of quantum cosmology, exploring Stephen Hawking's revolutionary "No-Boundary Proposal" and the fascinating debates it has incited. We've unravelled the concept of a "shuttlecock universe", pondered the wave function of the universe, and delved into the diverse theories shaping our understanding of cosmic origins.

We are on the "drain" side of a black hole.

5.22 Holographic principle was proposed by Susskind, to explain the inconsistencies in Hawing's information paradox.

The guy that works hard and figures out how to install plumbing that person was a genius. Genius is perspective, to assume Genius because of failure seems more like idiocy really. Failure isn't fatal or final, it's the ability to keep going that matters most. A great war time leader said something like that, who was he?

Complexity means it's wrong. Simple and Elegant solutions are usually the right ones.

from my understanding of your presentation the no boundary proposal still has a beginning which is that the universe started from zero space. it is basically asking which came first nothingness or something? by definition it cant start with nothing because you cant create something out of nothing. so there was no nothing before the universe existed. even space isnt nothing, space is still something. my theory is simpler and that is the universe has no beginning and no end regardless what shape it is. the movement of galaxies based on telescopes isnt proof that the entire universe is expanding. it can mean that some small space in our universe is expanding. the entirety of the universe cannot be measured because it is infinite. its size and its timeline has no beginning and no end.

Since science has only detected 5% of the known universe (and nothing of the unknown universe) it is a bit premature to be describing the entire elephant.

Then it would be very interesting how the universe crossed an infinite set of time sequentially.

Read the Revelation of BAHA'U'LLAH and you would know the answers!

[fuseplan]

With the universe... No beginning = No present

Still not answering the most important question

[alexsuited]

Nope, NO expansion. The properties are completely different. The same mistakes over and over. Cut it out.
