Suppose you are standing in the middle of the Great Sahara desert. You can only see sand; there's nothing else. People will claim this desert is infinite, while scientists claim it's expanding. Both views (ie, infinite vs expanding) do not reconcile. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Something similar is happening regarding the Universe. In my view, the...

Why would a Big Bang event be the start of our Universe?
23 Aug, 2022
In 1949, astronomer Fred Hoyle coined the term Big Bang as a joke. Fred Hoyle believed in "panspermia as the origin of life on Earth". On the surface, a Big Bang could explain a situation in which nothing transfers to something. However, nothing is - by definition - the absence of energy and of matter.

Introduction LO: Facebook was founded in 2004, not even twenty years ago. Over the years, it has made a lot of enemies, who will smell blood now. The chances of Big Tech regulation have increased due to Facebook's weakening.

20 Aug, 2021
Recently, Facebook's CEO announced his plans for creating a metaverse company (eg, CNN, FT, interview in the Verge, Wired). This word was rather new to me. I did write about the multiverse (my blogs) and the Universe (my blogs). A Google search revealed another related word: omniverse. An omniverse includes the metaverse, the universe, the multiverse and any other...
