quote: It isn't a question of like or dislike. It simply isn't science.
quote: So you understand the math involved, eh? You've actually gone through the differential geometry and can describe the multi-dimensional tensor calculus involved? That's impressive...I had a bear of a time in differential geometry. Never could quite get the hang of twisted tensors. Where is your math? You will note that the instanton of Tuork-Hawking is a way to describe the inflation of the universe, not the origin. You have been paying attention, yes? Since we can directly measure the inflation of the universe, why is it a "story" to come up with a testable, mathematical description of how such an event could occur? Are you saying they got the math wrong? Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science.

ICANT responds to Son Goku:
quote: Um, what makes you think the theory of instantons has anything to do with the origin of the universe? It is a description for the inflation of the universe, not its origin. As your own source says:
Turok writes: Is this the end of the story? Do we now know how the big bang began? It is much too early to say. We are working out the detailed predictions which our theories and others make for what the satellites will find. Is there a reason why you are unhappy with the scientific method?
quote: (*blink!*) You did not just say that, did you? What do you think an instanton is but a mathematical description? When you get to this level of physics, you cannot do anything but use math to describe things. I should point out that your paper has no mathematical descriptions. It's just a talk Turok gave. That's nice, and it is important to help someone understand what he and Hawking were coming up with, but it is no substitute for the actual math. Where's your math?

ICANT responds to me:
quote: Oh, from this statement in the paper you quote-mined:
Turok writes: Instantons were developed in physics as a method of calculating Feynman's integral which I mentioned above. It is very important to realise that this 'instanton' doesn't exist within anything - there is no 'before' or 'outside' to it, and it is just as meaningless to ask what came before it or what lies outside it. In effect, the instanton is a twist in matter and spacetime which has a fleeting existence in time. In fact, it describes the very beginning of time. But the wonderful property of our new instanton is that it automatically turns itself into an infinite, inflating open universe. Need more? How about this one:
Turok writes: Think of inflation as being the dynamite that produced the big bang. Our instanton is a sort of self-lighting fuse that ignites inflation. To have our instanton, you have to have gravity, matter, space and time. Take any one ingredient away, and the instanton doesn't exist. But if you have an instanton, it will instantly turn into an inflating infinite universe. You did actually read your own source, didn't you?
quote: (*chuckle*) Now I know you didn't read your own source: They were working on Feynman's work on the Euclidean Einstein action. Are you now saying Einstein and Feynman didn't know whereof they spoke?
Turok writes: The equation: SE = Integral d4x*sqrt(g)[-R/(16*pi*G) + 1/2(partial phi)2 + V] The equation above shows the Euclidean Einstein action SE for general relativity and a scalar field phi. This defines the equations which we have solved. Yes, yes, I know that Percy is saying that it is beyond the pale to demand you justify your claims with math, but you're the one saying that they got the math wrong. Therefore, it would seem only appropriate for you to show specifically where they screwed up. "The math said exactly what they wanted it to say"? Oh really? What, pray tell, did the math actually say? The paper you quoted only lists the above equation. It provides no analysis of it. If you're going to accuse them of cheating, then you're going to have to show where. Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science.

quote: None of that is an answer. Let's try again, shall we? How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law?
quote: That doesn't answer the question. All physical processes exist within the universe. Since all physical processes reach equilibrium in a finite amount of time, how can the processes in the universe not be at equilibrium if they had an infinite amount of time? That's a direct violation of the second law. How do you reconcile an enternal universe with the second law?
quote: That's a direct violation of the second law. There is no way to sustain energy indefinitely. All processes go to equilibrium and all processes reach equilibrium in a finite amount of time. How do you reconcile your claims of perpetual energy and non-ending processes with the second law?
quote: That's a direct violation of the second law. Some energy is always lost. How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law?
quote: No, this is a direct violation of the second law. In all processes, some energy is lost and thus, energy can never be perpetually cycled.
quote: But it violates physics at every step. You have yet to explain how you can reconcile your claims with everything we have ever measured. Let's try again, shall we?

Buzsaw writes:
quote: But that's irrelevant. It doesn't matter where the energy goes. First law of thermodynamics directly states that everything has to go somewhere. Thus, it doesn't matter where it goes so long as it is accounted for. And combined with the second law, that necessarily means that all physical processes necessarily reach equilibrium in a finite amount of time. There is not an infinite amount of energy. Since all energy must be accounted for and since every physical process results in an irrevocable loss of energy, then all processes eventually reach equilibrium in a finite amount of time.
quote: Incorrect. In fact, just the opposite is true. The reason that we have the theories about the inflation of the universe is precisely because we were looking for a model that satisfies the laws of physics. Are you seriously claiming that scientists would develop a model of the universe that directly violates the very laws they use every day? This is part of the reason why I have asked you directly what you think of the Turok-Hawking instanton. As Turok describes it:
Turok writes: What does it mean for a physicist to describe the beginning of time? Try and think of space and time together as Einstein taught us to do, and to think how the big bang began. You can think of space and time as constituting the surface of a cone. The cone is place vertically with its sharp tip down. Time runs up the cone: space runs around it. Time and space end at the sharp tip. The tip is 'singular' in mathematical terms, because it isn't smooth, and if this were a model of the universe we would find our equations break down there. The universes found by Hawking and me look like the cone but the tip of the cone is rounded out, replaced by our 'instanton', which is smooth. If you were sitting in the instanton you would be confused about what is space and what is time because all directions along the surface of the rounded cone are horzontal at the bottom. In effect the 'timeline' direction has rotated into a 'spacelike' one. This is just what we need to explain how time began. In effect the distinction between space and time is blurred and space then contracts to a point and disappears. But crucially the equations of physics work everywhere. Are you saying that Turok and Hawking just happened to forget about thermodynamics when they were verifying that the physics still worked?
quote: You mean COBE and WMAP and PLANCK were just figments of the imagination?
quote: Incorrect. Your violates the laws of thermodynamics at every turn. Let's try again, shall we? How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law?
quote: You mean COBE and WMAP and PLANCK were just figments of the imagination? There was no reason why they had to return results in line with big bang cosmology.
quote: That's because it directly contradicts established science without explaining how to reconcile the two. Let's try again, shall we? How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law? Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science.

Turok writes: It's very important to realise that this 'instanton' doesn't exist within anything - there is no 'before' or 'outside' to it, and it is just meaningless to ask what came before it or what lies outside it. Now, if you have a problem with it, you're going to have to explain why. "I don't like the implications on a gut level" is not sufficient. You're going to have to explain why the mathematical structure is insufficient because their entire theory rests upon the mathematics aligning with observation. The universe did inflate. We can measure it. Their theory seeks to explain how the inflation happened.
quote: And their theory does not violate that. What part of "the equations of physics work everywhere" are you having trouble with? Are you saying that Tuork and Hawking simply forgot to verify against thermodynamics? It is more likely that they overlooked such a basic concept than it is that you don't understand the physics and thus don't understand why it doesn't violate thermodynamics?
quote: Incorrect. What he said was that you can't have the instanton without everything else. Once again, you're quote-mining. That statement comes after a long setup that describes a range of all possible universes and it just so happens that their model eliminates all of the ones that don't look like ours:
Turok writes: What we realised then was that all theories of inflation produced open universes in the manner I had found with Bucher and Goldhaber. Furthermore, the Hartle-Hawking machiner told us that these were the most likely universes. We had shown that a universe which approximates our own was actually predicted by the simplest theories of scalar field matter. We now had a complete picture of the beginning of these universes. The entire point is to develop a theory of cosmogenesis that results in a universe that includes gravity, matter, space, and time. If your theory creates universes that don't have one of those things, you're going to have to explain why we got one that does.

ICANT responds to me:
quote: "Hard" does not mean "impossible." What do you think the supercollider is for? It is being built so that we might find the predicted Higgs boson which would validate supersymmetry and, by extension, inflationary cosmology. What do you think COBE, WMAP, and PLANCK are about? As the European Space Agency describes it:
ESA writes: Building on the legacy of COBE, and NASA's follow-on mission WMAP, Planck will also investigate whether the Universe suffered a period of sudden exponential expansion, termed Inflation, shortly after the Big Bang. Your source is from 2001. What makes you think the state of the science has remained stagnant? WMAP only went up in 2001 and we didn't have results until the next year(and it's still up there, looking.) As NASA put it when it released the five-year results from WMAP:
NASA writes: A third major finding arising from the new WMAP data places tight constraints on the astonishing burst of growth in the first trillionth of a second of the universe, called “inflation”, when ripples in the very fabric of space may have been created. Some versions of the inflation theory now are eliminated. Others have picked up new support. "The new WMAP data rule out many mainstream ideas that seek to describe the growth burst in the early universe," said WMAP principal investigator, Charles Bennett, of The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. "It is astonishing that bold predictions of events in the first moments of the universe now can be confronted with solid measurements." Are you saying that WMAP doesn't exist? Why don't you know about these things? You need to stop researching in attempts to quote-mine and start researching to learn the actual state of the science. The reason we go with inflationary models of the big bang is because all the evidence is pointing in that direction. Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science.

quote: You could start by actually answering the questions rather than simply making bare assertions. Let's try again, shall we? How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law?
quote: Incorrect. I have done nothing but respond to it: This "omnipotent ID creator management" is a direct violation of the second law. Why do you think I keep asking, "How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law"? There are no perfect engines. Energy cannot be converted entirely into work. Some energy is always irrevocably lost to entropy. Since there is not an infinite amount of energy, this necessarily means that all reactions will reach equilibrium in a finite amount of time as all energy eventually gets lost to entropy. Your god hypothesis, though, violates that by allowing god to reclaim that energy in direct conflict with the second law.
quote: That's a violation of the second law. There is no such thing as "stable entropy." There are no perfect engines, some energy is always irrevocably lost to entropy. Why do you think I keep asking what would happen if we hooked your engine up to a refrigerator?
quote: Incorrect. The entire basis of thermodynamics has to do with trying to find perpetual motion. As said in BC: Before Carnot. A Tragicomical History of Thermodynamics: Until you understand what is impossible, you cannot understand the limit of the possible. Are you familiar with the work of Laplace and Lavoisier? How they developed "caloric theory"? Why it was discarded? Does the image of a cannon bore being drilled underwater mean anything to you? If not, how on earth do you know what "my" education has considered?

ICANT responds to me:
quote: And this is a problem why? At this level of physics, everything is done as math because everything is math.
quote: Huh? You seem to be upset that Turok was following the scientific method: You work with observations, make testable hypotheses, and adjust your work in light of the new outcomes which make new predictions in a never-ending cycle. Physics is applied math. What do you think velocity is? It's the derivative of position with respect to time. Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time. Impulse is the derivative of acceleration with respect to time. There's a common joke, seen on the t-shirts of thousands of physics geeks:
And then god said: And there was light. The universe runs on math. There's a reason that there is a discipline of physics called "mathematical physics." Two courses from my own undergrad: Computational Methods in Physics: Typical numerical methods for solving a wide range of problems of current interest in physics. Examples are drawn from mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, solid state, and chemical physics. General Relativity and Cosmology: The principle of equivalence, Riemannian geometry, and the Schwarzschild and cosmological solutions of the field equations. There's a reason that the core curriculum was a year of chemistry (with lab), a year of physics (with lab), and two years of math. You cannot do higher science without a strong foundation in mathematics because the world works because of math. The most interesting problems in physics are exercises in solving differential equations.
quote: More quote mining. I responded to this (and I know you haven't gotten to it, but it only shows just how perfidious your quote-mining is) in Message 233:
What he said was that you can't have the instanton without everything else. Once again, you're quote-mining. That statement comes after a long setup that describes a range of all possible universes and it just so happens that their model eliminates all of the ones that don't look like ours:

If your theory creates universes that don't have one of those things, you're going to have to explain why we got one that does. In short, you're completely missing the point.
quote: (*blink!*) You did not just say that, did you? What on earth do you think "started inflation" means? How on earth do you know you have inflation if you cannot describe it? Besides, you just contradicted yourself. You wrote in Message 215:
ICANT writes: You talk about inflation as if it is as accepted as the Big Bang Theory. But now you're saying that the work of Turok and Hawking isn't describing inflation. Well, which is it? Do we have a description of inflation or don't we? When physicists talk about "inflation," they aren't referring to just a vague notion of "really fast expansion." They are talking about a physical process described mathematically. And it becomes even more clear that you haven't read your own source. Turok goes on and on about how he was dissatisfied with various descriptions of inflation:
Turok writes: Most inflationary theorists believed that inflation always produced a 'flat' universe - one that is in effect teetering on the brink between being 'open' and 'closed.' [...] Likewise, inflation can make an open universe very flat. Most people thought that if inflation was the explanation for why the universe was so smooth (remember COBE showed it was smooth to a part in a hundred thousand) then at the same time the inflation would have made it very flat as well. I didn't believe their arguments and thought it would be a good idea to try and prove them wrong by making a model which would produce an open universe. Drawing on some old ideas in the literature my colleagues Bucher, Goldhaber and I succeeded in getting an open universe from inflation. The physics involved is much more intricate than for 'flat' inflation, and the only models we could get to work were quite contrived. But the process through which the open universe emerged was spectacular. [...] I was not really happy with these open inflation models, however, because they were rather artificial, and they didn't really answer the question of what came before inflation. [...] I explained I had these possible universes and had calculated how likely they were. But there was an infinity which meant the universes would be suppressed by Feynman's path integral. Suddenly, Stephen noticed I had neglected one term in the equations, which I had mistakenly assumed would not make a difference. It took a moment to fix, and miraculously the infinity was gone. What we realised then was that all theories of inflation produced open universes in the manner I had found with BUcher and Goldhaber. Furthermore, the Hartle-Hawking machinery told us that these were the most likely universes. We had shown that a universe which approximates our own was actually predicted by the simplest theories of scalar field matter. We now had a complete picture of the beginning of these universes. How much more of this paper do I have to quote at you before you sit down and read it?
quote: You realize you just contradicted yourself, yes? You wrote just before that:
quote: If the instanton "started" inflation, then inflation can't be "what happened" to it. And once again, you show you haven't read your own source:
Turok writes: But the wonderful property of our new instanton is that it automatically turns itself into an infinite, inflating open universe. And even more directly:
Turok writes: Our instanton is a sort of self-lighting fuse that ignites inflation. If that isn't a direct indication that the instanton results in inflation, I shudder to think what more you need.
quote:quote: (*chuckle*) I have manually transcribed a quarter of this paper into this thread and somehow I'm the one who hasn't read it.

quote: What makes you think the inflation or the expansion of the universe are thermodynamic acts? There's nothing to "equalize." No thermodynamic activity took place. The inflation and the expansion of the universe are not acts of energy exchange. They are inherent properties of space. The reason the distance between galaxies is increasing is not because they are moving (which would be an act of energy exchange). It is because the space between them is expanding. Back to the balloon analogy. If you have two points on a balloon and the balloon expands, the two points on the balloon become further apart...but they didn't move (not in relation to each other, at any rate). Instead, the space between them expanded. There is nothing to "equalize" with thermodynamics concerning the inflation or expansion of the universe because the inflation and expansion of the universe aren't thermodynamic events.

quote: Huh? You seem to be talking about the inflationary period but the word you used was "expansion." You do know that inflation and expansion are completely different things, yes? When you figure out what you're talking about, please let us know. And "T<0"? What on earth does that mean? There is no such thing as "T<0" in standard cosmology.
quote: Huh? Thermodynamic theory contradicts the laws of thermodynamics? What on earth does that mean? Do you mean that the inflation of the universe violates thermodynamics? Once again, I ask you directly: What makes you think the inflation of the universe was a thermodynamic process? Once again, we go back to the balloon analogy: If you have two spots on the surface of a balloon and it inflates, the two spots move apart. However, no thermodynamic activity has taken place. Work is force through a distance, but neither of the spots have moved any distance. Instead, the space itself has increased.
quote: Huh? We can measure the inflation of the universe directly. What do you think COBE, WMAP, and PLANCK are about? You claim it is "unfalsifiable," and yet we have hard data concerning it. How does that make it "unfalsifiable"? We ran an experiment that could have falsified it. Isn't that the definition of "falsifiable"? We can measure the expansion of the universe directly. What do you think the red-shift is? You claim it is "unfalsifiable," and yet we have hard data concerning it. How does that make it "unfalsifiable"? We ran an experiment that could have falsified it. Isn't that the definition of "falsifiable"?
quote: Hold on just a parboiled second there. "Infinite energy"? Where did that come from? Is this a subtle attempt to move the goalposts?
quote: Ahem: Infinite energy is most definitely a violation of thermodynamics as well as simple observation. If there were infinite energy, the universe would be naught but plasma... ...and once again the universe would be at equilibrium. Infinite equilibrium, to be sure, but equilibrium nonetheless. Since the universe is clearly not at equilibrium, then clearly there is not infinite energy.

I think it means that S = Q/T. What do you think it means? Let's try again, shall we? How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law?
quote: No. There are no perfect engines. That's what the second law says.
quote: Direct violation of the second law. In every physical process, some energy is always and irrevocably lost to entropy. Don't believe me? Then here's a simple test: What would happen if we hooked up your engine to a refrigerator? I've asked you that question at least half a dozen times and so far, you have never answered. It's time to put up or shut up. What would happen if we hooked up your engine to a refrigerator?
quote: Direct violation of the second law. There are no perfect engines. What would happen if we hooked up your engine to a refrigerator?
quote: Didn't you read your own source?
The most conventional type of perpetual motion machine is a mechanical system which (supposedly) sustains motion while inevitably losing energy to friction and air resistance. Note the word "supposedly." That's because even this type of perpetual motion machine is a direct violation of the second law. There is no way to sustain motion while losing energy. There are no perfect engines.
quote: Incorrect. It is a direct violation of both the first and second laws. Let's try again, shall we? How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law?
quote: Incorrect. You haven't provided any math at all.
quote: What does that have to do with anything, Franklin? [bonus points if you catch the reference.] We're talking about cosmology. If you're talking about the superstructure of the universe, that's what quantum cosmology is all about and what was directly measured by COBE and WMAP and will be even more closely studied by PLANCK.
quote: Incorrect. The Bible is actually a pretty piss poor guide to history. By your logic, we should accept the Greek myths regarding creation since "there is a reasonable amount of corroborative evidence for the credibility of the Iliad and the Odyssey whether antagonists want to admit that or not."
quote: BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Well, to be fair, you have, indeed, been obligated to answer repetitive responses to your messages. But the reason why they're repetititive is because you have failed to live up to your obligations. You have yet to answer a single direct question put to you. Let's try again, shall we? How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law?
quote: Why is it you have the time to respond to dozens of posts but no time to answer direct questions put to you? If you respond to nothing else in this post, respond to these direct questions: How do you reconcile an eternal universe with the second law? How do you reconcile the perfect engine of god with the second law? What on earth do you mean by "temporal" and how do you reconcile your claim that your universe is not "temporal" with the second law? Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
