Creation of the universe

Recently, Ya.B. has been working on a complete cosmological theory which would incorporate the creation of the Universe (1982) [45 ]. Let us mention finally that it was Ya.B. who recently gave a profound formulation of the question of the cosmological constant, i.e., the energy density in Minkovsky space (see Section 9). More precisely, the question is formulated thus is the Minkovsky space a self-consistent solution of the equations for all possible fields and the equations of general relativity ... [Pg.43]

The actinides are all radioactive elements. Actinium, thorium, protactinium, and uranium are the only four actinides that have been found in the environment the others are artificial, being produced through various nuclear reactions. It should be noted that at the creation of the universe some amount of Pu could have been formed however, with an 80 million year half-life, it would have fully decayed during the past 10 billion years. [Pg.2]

When the supercollider is in operation, the particle collisions that occur are like microscopic recreations of the fiery big bang that marked the creation of the universe, and the data gathered by computerized detectors around the collision zone is expected to provide scientists with clues to the most fundamental structure of matter, and the nature of the forces that lie in the atom s innermost, unprobed space. [Pg.192]

Current opinion favors the big bang theory over other creation theories, although many controversial points are yet to be explained. Other theories, such as the steady-state or oscillating theories, have their advocates, and the creation of the universe is certain to remain a source of controversy and study. [Pg.5]

Hoyle s [1] successful prediction of the 7.6 MeV resonance of the carbon-12 nucleus, based on observation of his own carbon-based existence, established the scientific usefulness of anthropic principles. These principles have become common, if not yet standard, tools in cosmology, where theories of initial conditions may not yet exist - or, if they do exist, may admit a range of values [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. At the same time, anthropic principles have retained a traditional role in religion and philosophy, where sensitive dependence of human existence on laws of nature that could imaginably have been otherwise is interpreted as evidence for human significance in the creation of the universe. [Pg.384]

One could argue, then, that a small excess of particles over antiparticles was produced during the creation of the universe. Suppose, for example, that there were a million antiprotons and a million and one protons created in a section of the universe. Then a million of each particle would have been annihilated as they came into contact with each other, leaving an excess of a single proton. Over time, a small irregularity of this kind might explain the dominance of matter over antimatter in the modern universe. [Pg.7]

The big hang theory is a well-developed, sophisticated mathematical hypothesis about the creation of the universe that has now been tested for many decades. As with all such theories, the question is whether there is physical evidence to support it. Are there aspects of the modern universe that would tend to support or contradict this theory ... [Pg.13]

The extension of the periodic system into the sectors hypermatter (strangeness) and antimatter is of general and astrophysical importance. Indeed, microseconds after the big bang the new dimensions of the periodic system, we have touched upon, certainly have been populated in the course of the baryo- and nucleo-genesis. Of course, for the creation of the universe, even higher dimensional extensions (charm, bottom, top) come into play, which we did not pursue here. It is an open question, how the depopulation (the decay) of these sectors influences the distribution of elements of our world today. Our conception of the world will certainly gain a lot through the clarification of these questions. [Pg.146]

The number of elements found to be essential to life appears to be gradually increasing as experimental techniques are refined. The possibility cannot be denied that all the elements may be required for life to develop. Life, and finally Intelligence, may have been the ultimate purpose of the creation of the universe. Life may be another form of infinity—an infinity of chemical and electronic complexity. [Pg.787]
