Cosmology Question

[BPA234]

If you accept the big bang theory, than every occurence from that point of origin is a reaction to that initial action.

Y/N?

No, I believe in the big bang, but I also believe in contra-causal elves who meddle in the afairs of men because they find us so damn entertaining.

If all events have causes, and their causes are all prior events - there is no cycle of events where an event causes itself. Unless you apply arbitrary properties to God, I mean the Big Bang.

Just a singular singularity crunch in a succession of non-singular singularities.

I'm actually having trouble getting past (or out of) the first singularity. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Ummm...reading a book on quantum mechanics would be pretty useless for someone without the fundamentals. Unless it's a hand wavy book that gives you nothing but a basically useless surface knowledge totally devoid of any semblance of rigour.

The popular literature is great entertainment, but it is pretty much useless if you actually want to understand something. And you can't actually understand something without having a vast knowledge of fundamental physics (classical mechanics, classical thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, etc.)

Ooookay. You realize, of course, OP wasn't asking this question necessarily 'cause he didn't know the accepted answers? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
