Breaking Laws of Thermodynamics

If all matter was in the singularity then all energy was also there. Remember that matter is simply potential energy, a valid form of energy.

Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Jar,It's been too long and when I find time I want to go back and read more Hawkings. I believe he has since come up with another scenario that has some sort of indeterminancy as an initial state.However the point I wish to make in this post is that the singularity is perfect and balanced, all this energy is stably balanced. For the universe to expand into what it is today only one thing is necessary--imperfection! This perfect symmetry must somehow become imbalanced and then voila! the show begins.Hawking's theory is a brilliant tour de force as he encompassed so much physics but at this point it's a theory so I can't state that is how the universe began, but I do find that notion of the initial imperfection as the casual event elegant and mysterious.From a deist standpoint the divine genesis is the introduction of asymmetry in the singularity.lfen

TDL What this means is that the total energy content of the universe does not change.When we make measurements of the state of a phenomena as it undergoes change and take into account all the changes there is a numerical quantity that remains the same which we call energy.Now just what energy is no one knows but this numerical quantity that we measure remains constant and therefore conserved.The existence of energy is not in question since we can measure it but the forces of nature {electromagnetism,strong force,weak force.and gravity} are the forms by which energy manifests itself in all these different ways that we observed.{heat energy,chemical energy, potential energy,nuclear energy, radioactive decay energy,fusion energy etc.}Does this help clarify things?

What delightful hosts they are-Love and Laughter!
Lingeringly I turn away at this late hour,yet glad
They have not withheld from me their high hospitality.
So at the door I pause to press their hands once more
And say,"So fine a time!Thank you both...and goodbye.

I keep seeing this "bump for someone's alias". What does this mean? Is this a request for them to come back to a thread?puzzled,
lfen

yep to come back and answer the issues raised in the linked post. It also returns some posts to the OT ...

A "bump" is a post to bring a thread back to the top of the forum list. A bump FOR someone is an attempt to keep a topic on top so someone will see it and return to the thread.
