Someone sent me a link to this site: The Scale of the Universe
Which shows in graphical form the scale of the universe from the very small (Planck length) to the very large (the size of the universe)
Now for the visible size of the universe it of course states the usual approximately 14 billion light year size we all know of, but then it goes on to the estimated size of the universe as 93 billion light years.
How do they obtain an estimate of what is outside the visible universe if it is unobservable?
There is no end to the universe because there wasn't any big bang. A big bang was needed to disprove any intelligent design but now that Stephen Hawking is suggesting that everything came from nothing, then we have to admit to a God that created all things.
God is nothing but thoughts (conscience) where he planned everything. His first creation was light energy because thoughts have no mass, time or energy and they exist everywhere. The light energy of God was used to create all things and form the atoms for all the worlds in the universe.
God's power formed the bodies of his living creation on his planet called earth according to his plans. We are living exactly the way he planned it.

Well thank goodness that is finally settled.

What a relief. None of this is my fault.

It was religion that made you feel it was your fault. God has always taken the blame for what he created and formed but a big part of the deception he needed came from religion. This age will end when everything on earth is destroyed as the earth changes into a level earth. The mountains, oceans and polar caps came from the flood that destroyed the original level surface of earth.

Re: Young or old universe
If all attempts to translate a piece of mathematics into English result in gobbledegook, it may be a good indication that such is the original meaning.

Re: Young or old universe
Can you describe Mozart's violin concerto #5 in English? Communication requires a shared experience and common reference points.

Why don't you respond to the original post, msg 1, tell us what you think. I feel that would be more relevant than choosing to respond to a post you agree with. JMO

Re: Young or old universe
I should also say that I think your post illuminates a valid issue.
How do you reconcile a logically and mathematically derived theoretical conclusion with a physical impossibility?

Re: Young or old universe
I guess if I set myself the task of describing that Mozart's concerto in English, the result would be missing out on the immediate pleasure of listening to the piece, as that could not be put in words, yet I could indeed logically analyse the score, point out why this or that development or relation between sounds gives me a particular pleasure and so on and I am sure that my translation of the music into words would not be anything to strain Mozart's logic.

Penguin's Milk
Sure, and I imagine that Mozart would appreciate the subtleties of your description. What would a tone deaf person think of it? Or a child who had never seen or heard a violin?
I know people who refuse to believe that we have walked on the moon. Who does the nonsense belong to?
I take it that you have a fair understanding of the actual math used to defend the Standard Model and you disagree with the conclusions. I do not understand all of the math. Can you describe for me why it is wrong?

Re: Penguin's Milk
If there is a hypothetical tone deaf person unless that person is totally devoid of the faculty of reason that may not still mean there is no way for me to find a good analogy to render the pleasurable effect of Mozart's piece quite comprehensible to that person albeit in an abstract fashion. If that person is visually endowed geometry could well be used to translate the sound relations in the piece into a language to make a perfect logical sense.
You are asking me what is the mathematical error in the Standard Model. Well, that is obvious to me. It's simply a fundamental flaw in the understanding of the relation of infinite and finite. The hypothesis is built on that flawed foundation and though the cathedral itself may be a pure mathematical genius since it's foundation is pure nothing, it may forever float over the la-la land of fantasy never managing to land upon any concrete physical reality.
That is simple. The infinite may exist indeed and it may exist necessarily but it may never exist as anything actual though it may exist necessarily as a pure potential anything actual is constantly coming from. Anything finite is a tendency and a striving towards infinity without any possibility of ever reaching it actually. It is even better to be said that the infinity can neither be reached nor ever be stopped from being approached. That would describe the reality of universal motion. Infinity may not have any physical reality. All physical reality is the realm of the finite and actual only.
The concept of singularity is a flawed assumption of a possibility of that infinity being actually reached and that on the universal scale which is a clear physical impossibility. Infinity is, of course, expressed with a zero and that zero may represent the universe shrunk into nothing with all the laws of necessity vanished inside the zero. It's very easy to draw a zero on a piece of paper and to declare a total physical anarchy inside of it. The next step is introducing some arbitrary positive values standing for relations of something to something and some progressive development of those relations and no end of intricate, most ingenious calculations could be engaged into by the mathemagician. The cathedrals built on the zero are all pure genius of mathematical invention even if none of it may mean anything in real terms and that is why all the attempts to translate the numbers into any meaningful language are resulting in gibberish. Language is dynamic necessarily, it's all verbs which are standing for processes and even when it's nouns, the nouns are static snapshots of the same dynamic processes. Inside nothing there is no process possible by definition thus all attempts to apply the English language to tell anything about it result in contradictions and prevarications necessitating a lot of further explaining away and the gobbledegook is the inevitable result of all that strenuous semantic effort. That is what they all are having so much fun with. They divide and multiply by that zero while ascribing to it some impossible positive attributes. They keep on trying to squeeze something tangible into the pure nothing that may physically exist as a concept and on paper only, they keep on failing in that and keep on trying to do it again and again and such fun and mathematical games could go on and on indefinitely. That's nothing very new. It had been done already and it had been going on for centuries and instead of the advanced maths, the language employed for having this kind of intellectual fun used to be Latin.
Whereas the real singularities are under everybody's nose. They are called the past and the future. Everybody in that sense lives inside a moving black hole of the present squeezed in between the two event horizons. Black holes ain't as black as they are painted after all.

Re: Penguin's Milk

Of course you might achieve some measure of success but if you failed it wouldn’t mean that Mozart’s concerto was nonsense. My point is simply that not all ideas are easy to convey to all people. Also, I would imagine that one mathematician could describe the concerto to another mathematician using math with greater success and accuracy.
You are asking me what is the mathematical error in the Standard Model.
Thanks for the reply but I should withdraw the question as I am in no way qualified to debate it with you and your answer raises many more questions. I will leave the discussion to others more capable of examining your argument.
I will ask you why you think that all of those who are building the floating cathedrals of genius are doing so? I mean wouldn’t you rather spend your life figuring out the ‘real’ answers? Isn’t it easier to put your buildings on the ground?

The Standard Model makes no statements on the relation of the finite and the infinite, hence it is nonsensical to point out this "flaw". If you are referring to the Standard Model of particle physics, that describes particle interactions. If you are referring to the Standard Model of cosmology, then that describes the evolution of the universe. There is no discussion of the relation between the finite and the infinite.

This makes no sense. Infinity is not expressed with a zero.

The past and the future are not singularities. The past and the future are simply two opposite directions in the temporal dimension.
