No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: cosmology, information science, mathematics, quantum physics, singularity
New equation proves no “Big Bang” theory and no beginning either as well as no singularity.
(Phys.org) —The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The model may also account for dark matter and dark energy, resolving multiple problems at once.
The widely accepted age of the universe, as estimated by general relativity, is 13.8 billion years. In the beginning, everything in existence is thought to have occupied a single infinitely dense point, or singularity. Only after this point began to expand in a “Big Bang” did the universe officially begin.

China Announces Three Brand New Gravitational Wave Projects
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: physics, space
China has proposals for gravitational wave observatories drafted, but will the government approve them? How will they affect the country’s rank in space research?
The scientists at LIGO may be celebrating, but they’re about to have some stiff competition.
The People’s Republic of China now has three projects lined up to investigate gravitational waves as reported by the state media yesterday. These projects were decided upon just days after US scientists confirmed Einstein’s prediction.
