Toward the Big Bang


I believe that the universe was created spontaneously from nothing in the Big Bang picosecond event aka when God said "Let be light". How physical things can appear from nothing? They can. Physicists in Gothenburg, Sweden, have managed to turn "virtual" light particles, flickering in and out of existence in a vacuum, into measurable, material particles.

The experiment was based on quantum mechanics: empty space is a seething ocean of infinitesimal particles that fluctuate in and out of existence, defying the laws of classical physics because they only exist for the briefest of moments. The team succeeded in getting photons to leave their virtual state and become real photons, e.g. measurable light. (from Nature).

You mean the Ancients were not ignorant of science?

What is truly fascinating is that, although what you say is probably true (and I myself think it likely) it is not within the capacity of even highly educated people to refute it or confirm it; and yet most highly educated people believe it on trust, because the experts believe it.

What this illustrates is that if you can get smart people to believe this version of reality, which is probably the most counter-intuitive story I ever heard in my life, then you can get anyone to believe anything.

Koko, for instance, tells me she is really a Boltzmann Brain; who am I to argue?

Anon.

Ancient Greeks like Anaxagoras and Pitagoras were not ignorant of science. Israelites were not ignorant but considered scientific speculation redundant because they knew, they had it directly from the mouth of God.

Regarding Koko, she certainly is a Boltzman phenomenon, as we are all in this universe.
