  • No physical mechanisms predefines future events (or is there one ?).

    So, I could state that the future does not exist yet and the past as ceased to exist.

    in that statement I have a problem with the definition of existence. Does the definition of existence exist itself ? This is (is it ?) more a problem of terminology than philosophy or physics.


  • Thanks for your time and attention.

    We have never observed anything in the universe just popping into existence from nothing (…)

    if we did, that would be a major shift in physics. in this regards I heard of (or read of) two candidates :
    .1 if universe’s expansion continues to accelerate, (it would mean) dark energy is increassing.
    .2 an excess of hydrogen (clouds) outside of galaxies was observed that is difficult to explain with current cosmology.

    I know these are not direct observation of something popping up, …but still.



















  • Cosmic microwave background (CMB) is very smooth ; if there was black holes in there I guess we would see (huge) unevenness.

    Hummm, or at least, that stupid LCDM would lead to such an expectation. … that model also put CMB at :
    400 000 to 500 000 years after the BBang.
    and most distant visible galaxies (and black holes) at :
    330 000 000 years after BB.

    if we go by this number we have a few hundred million years to produce such big things out of something very smooth.

    if we used a different model we could have much more time.
