March Meeting review - Barrie Jones - Understanding The Big Bang

Well I needn't go into this review in any depth as this was as clear an explanation that anyone could wish for. I am certain that no question was unanswered. I personally don't understand why people cannot follow the current thinking, it is quite simple. At the beginning there was infinity and depending on the current infinite size of the universe this infinity was either all in the same place or all over the place. In this infinity was an infinite amount of nothing, which was the sum of equal positive and negative nothings. Then spontaneously (as must be the case as there was no time) these two nothings separated to some degree, creating the energy of this universe and probably the non-energy of another. From then on the infinite universes expanded either out into nothing or out into itself.

The work of current theorists is the examination of the current state of the universe, as seen from here to establish the starting conditions of the universe and hence to the final state of the universe. The main tasks are to measure how fast the expansion is and how much energy is contained in the Universe (either as energy or as converted into mass).

Presently the measured mass of the Universe is not particularly massive, about 10% of the predicted requirement for an expanding point infinity which will eventually slow in expansion and collapse back, as a heart beat. However, it is sufficient on a count back in time for and expanding expansive infinity that will continue spreading like a melting jelly.

This was a truly fun talk and provided a perfect demonstration that the English language is Newtonian. The laws of both apply to practically all conditions that apply in day to day experience. But eventually they fail and as Newtonian is a special condition of General Relativity Theory we need to leave the English language and work purely with mathematics.
