To my knowledge, we also have zero evidence that they didn't exist. Nor have we ever observed matter/energy appearing out of ~~thin air~~ vaccuum, so it seems unlikely to me.

Yeah, I suspect that the universe may expand and contract, so likely all the matter in the big bang came from it all being compressed from the previous cycle.

I also think all total matter gets distributed the same way each cycle, so I guess I think all matter that exists now is the same matter that has existed always.

I also think each cycle, everything happens the same way deterministically, even though it would be exciting to see if maybe events happen differently each cycle.

My crackpot theory is that there's a universe inside each black hole and we're currently inside a black hole. All of the matter that a black hole ingests feeds into a big bang on a separate timeline.

The big bang was a singularity where our understanding of time and space breaks down. Well a black hole is the same thing.

Hypothetically if this where true where would the original black hole come fromh

[–] JillyB 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does there have to be an origin? The universe (at all levels) could be eternal.

Turtles all the way down

Where would the big bang come from?

I know it's old, but I still cannot believe it's the same woman in every panel. Girl looks like a different person in each pic.

I haven't seen this meme before but the person in the upper right and middle left look the same. And the rest of the panels look like one other person. Matches with the shoulder strap another person commented on. Probably someone took two different commercials of the same product and stitched them together.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

That's what I was thinking. And I just noticed that in 2 of the pics the shoulder strap to her shirt is different. If it's not different women, it's at least different shirts in some of the panels

Your universe is a derivative of another source of matter or energy. You are a derivative and there is nothing you can do about it.

Guess I'll just try and intergeate the best I can.

Evidence of happiness in life? Zero

Teach me your ways, master

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

Your options are "grow" or "repeat". Unfortunately, you're the one most equipped to take responsibility for your own life, but you evolved into this situation, and evolution is messy. It's not your fault, bit it's your responsibility.

Accepting those things deeply enough, and what they mean personally, changes everything.

Took a long time and a lotta effort.

I think the inability to destroy or create matter counts as Evidence but not necesarily Proof.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't as the laws of physics as we currently know them break down at the scale and pressures involved in the very early universe.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Alright but until you can create or destroy energy/matter then you have no evidence to back your claims or dispute mine.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But that doesn't make your claim provable

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A claim doesn't need evidence to the contrary to be disputed, so no thats not what you said

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago

I said it wasn't proof, but that it was evidence. You can dispute a claim that has evidence but if you don't have any evidence yourself you're going to look like an idiot who ignores the most likely truth and instead clings to their faith.

Is this controversial?
