It seems that Quantum theory can predict how the universe will begin. Quantum theory introduces a new idea, that of imaginary time. Imaginary time may sound like science fiction, and it has been brought into by Doctor Who. But nevertheless, it is a genuine scientific concept.
Rather it is very ancient concept discovered by early Indian yogis and sages in the Vedic era. They pictured the cosmological time in a cyclic manner and perpendicular to the real-time which is actually deals with the human actions.
The real-time is always linear and unidirectional which was born of human actions. The whole time cycle known as mahayuga expanding to 4,220,000 years provides a cosmological frame.
It encapsulates four lesser cycles, each smaller than the other and decreasing in an orderly arithmetic progression, the names of cycles follow the throws of dice, introducing an element of probability into the concept of time.
This concept reincarnated by eminent scientist Stephen Hawking and Roger Pen rose It seems that Quantum theory can predict how the universe will begin.
Great piece!
ReplyDeleteI read about this imaginary time in hawking's theory of everything and had heard some of its interesting concept by listening to some lecture by Neil Tyson star talk.
I always thought of imaginary time as a line that can go backwards in a non-liner way like tarantino movies. One of the most acceptable theory that i ever came across was string (Einstein model). I don't rem much about it but it was about soap bubble model. His analogy was that the whole universe was in the size of a bubble, expanding forever. He went further by saying that bubble could be a part of another bubble or made by 2 other bubbles.
