Stephen Hawking wins bet over latest 'Big Bang Theory' study

London: Stephen Hawking has revealed that he won a bet against Neil Turok over his Big Bang Theory.

The renowned physicist told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he had a bet with the South African physicist, which he won as the discovery of gravitational waves in the universe proved his theory of 'inflation', the Mirror reported.

Inflation is the huge burst of energy after the big bang, when the universe inflated in size by 100
trillion times, faster than the speed of light, and proves that Turok is wrong in believing there were a series of big bangs.

  1. So my thought experiment is progressing. I believe the universe and space are two different things. Space is indeed infinite, but universes have boundaries. Our universe is one of an infinite number. Universes expand and contract infinitely. Expanding until gravity stops them, and then contracting again until a tipping point triggers another Big Bang.This is happening to an infinite number of universes in space. The space between universes is probably too great to allow interaction of universal boundaries before gravity causes contraction.

    Otherwise, our universe is the only one and beyond it's boundary, there exists only empty space (except for possible dark matter). This is where I have a problem, an infinite space with only one universe. In my opinion, if there's one universe, there's an infinite number of universes. If there's one planet with life, there's an infinite number of planets with life.

    But here is a tricky thought ... if universes expand and contract over and over again, would the gravity of universes pull them all together eventually? Maybe. What if the same scenario of universes expanding and contracting infinitely applied to all universes contracting until a Big Bang consisting of separate universes occurs.

    The classical version of the Big Bang cosmological model of the universe contains a causal singularity at the start of time (t=0), where all time-like geodesics have no extensions into the past. Extrapolating backward to this hypothetical time 0 results in a universe with all spatial dimensions of size zero, infinite density, infinite temperature, and infinite space-time curvature.

    So the big bang happened and the universe spread out from it. It is currently still expanding, and with the help of dark energy, speeding up. There is a boundary that exists from the earliest matter of the explosion. Beyond that boundary is just space, and maybe dark matter and dark energy. If you travel past the outer boundary of our universe the light will get fainter and fainter until you're so far away you see nothing of it. No light from stars and matter, just black empty space. If you keep traveling would you never see any more light? Or would the light from another universe appear as you neared it. Is our universe the only one to exist or are there others. Maybe universes are just as plentiful as the galaxies in our universe. Does dark energy cause universes to expand forever? Or will they eventually slow to a stop and contract back to a gravitational center, only to big bang again, repeating this process for eternity. Or do some universes collide with each other, mixing their matter to form hybrid universes? We will never know these answers. We are to small and finite. But my mind tells me if we are indeed the only universe in existence, it would be an awful waste of space.

    I think Drakes Equation needs a new parameter ... possible universes, not just galaxies.

    Also, I agree with Steve, we should not be trying to contact the other communicative civilizations. We should be hiding.

    1. Dont forget the Buddha saw the universe in the palm of his hand and supposedly back 40 somthing big bangs. If you study carefully the Buddhist teachings you will find reference to other planets with suns and moons with humans with different lifespans..

    2. Yes, Buddha was promiscuous. Nice.

    3. With being asked about ExtraTerrestrial life and visitation Professor Hawking answered that the history of advanced races meeting primitive races is not happy. I think it would be a disaster. Yes. I agree. It was an observation of our planet Earth.

    4. This theory makes a lot of sense. Einstein used the thought experiments quite often to understand the physics of our existence. I really appreciate the visualization of one leaving the universe's outer boundary and seeing no other light from any other celestial bodies. One would eventually be lost in space with nothing but blackness in all directions. it would be next to impossible to find the universe again... a crap shoot that eventually the light from the universe would reappear to you. An awful waste of space indeed!. I think it more likely that if our universe exists, others would be visible after time traveling in most any direction. Unless the distance between is very great. Then it would take quite some time rocketing outward before one would begin to appear to you. And if an infinite number of universes exist, what does that add to the Drake Equation indeed!

      But as far as communicative civilizations go, I tend to favor the 'Great Wall' theory of evolution. And also, how unique is our livable planet of water, air, and a moon and sun to provide the right mix of ingredients for life?

  2. The Steven Hawking Facebook page looks a bit dubious, someone here might want to check it out. some scam or other no doubt

  3. how to contact Stephen direct,please I have a theory,he will like it!!!

  4. How is it that all the world's scientists, including Heisenberg stated that our world is made up of a large universe , each universe have been 1000000 of billions of galaxies. And the universe is based on the theory of multi-dimensional world in the pages of a book are expressed as a parallel universe. How the atom is composed of protons and neutrons, the particles themselves are composed of three quarks, each quark energy oscillating ring composed of thousands of tiny strings. Finally, within this string of the subatomic quantum vacuum, we see that although we assume a vacuum, and also the nature of spirituality is formed after the fifth. Yes, Mr. Hawking . thinks the human brain is able to understand the enormity of the world's creation What is the dark matter that covered 99 percent of the universe consists of particles, the Higgs boson, or particle of God as is the source of subatomic particles While the meta-physics of our world in a spiritual context is that this framework is beyond our comprehension So if that could not complicated laws in the world do we solve the mathematical equations of science and religion are not mutually agreed time and then boldly say, The Lord not And the world was created, and his clever runs and I do not believe in God, the beginning of the Aristotelian ideology is Zionism and Freemasonry and Mr. Hawking. I am medical physics students to put theory will always respect you in the new physics But now, even as you say it is a friendly physics in their ideology appeals to the hedonic approach to disbelieve God and not the victim.

  5. I don't have a clue what you're on about. Try taking deep breaths and using shorter sentences.

  6. my question to u Stephen Hawking.......uhe to answer or ill find it :p
    100 billion people +Animals+Birds+Everyother living Things died till now on earth.....
    we call soul to Dead Things ....so where they R.....
    i know one thing somehow that our energy cant pass the earth and according to that we r trapped here so where this all Dead souls are...what happens to the soul(Energy)...
    Still we R 7 billion people + other living things .....so from where we come and where we go actually after the death...............
    We both know with 100% believe that there is no GOD..........
    the Question is who am i and how did i get in this body....
    Once im Dead there is nothing and if there is something than what actually happens with me in the soul energy form ..........
    The universe is too big which is also our mind to understand and see.....so i wanna alive even after Death Bcse i have been created in the process....im not saying that i was not here. i was here before born here but uncomplete and a unconscious energy....
    so im saying when im Dead What will happen to me.......or soul is also a lie like god which doesnt exist..........
    and in the end it just a energy which gets another form but in infinite way withe infinite form and lastly nothing exist.........
    if there is even a fraction of something that is playing this huse game than i gurantee u that is going to pay in a very very nasty way......
    but hey u brilliant stephan hawking give some answer abt soul that im here for a interval of time but was i before i born and will i after the Death......im not joking :p
