RE: Are we thinking about the big bang all wrong?

in #science • 5 years ago

I'm familiar with this line of thought, but this inevitably leads to the question of 'what is nothing'. I know Lawrence Krauss wrote a book 'A Universe from Nothing' but I've yet to get a hold of it, and I doubt it'll be an easy read...

    Good question. And it's probably easier to attempt to define than to visualise. An absence of all matter / energy for the definition. The known universe just without any matter / energy in it when you try to visualise it. Virtually impossible to comprehend (that's theoretical physics for you) but could it be any other way? Kind of like the quote on the human brain:

    If the human brain were so simple
    That we could understand it,
    We would be so simple
    That we couldn’t.
