Why did the universe come into existence?
How did the universe come into existence?
Well, basically, it came into existence because the odds of that happening were not 0%. Since the existence of time in the verse ours was born is unknown, we can define the odds of the universe coming into existence by the following: ∞ (100-x) where "x" are the odds of the universe occurring. Therefore: x= ∞ (100-x) Send ∞ to the other side: x/∞= 100-x.
To solve this, you must consider that not all infinities are equal. Example: A circle with a diameter of ∞ has a circumference of ∞ as well, but the circumference still is π times longer since diameter x π = circumference.
No matter the value of "x" you get 0.00[...]001 on the left side of the equation.
Now send the x on the other side. 0.00[...]001+x=100.
So the odds of the universe happening are of 99.9999999%
These odds occur every infinith of an instant.
If preferred, the odds for the universe to exist can be accurately seen as;
∞(∞-1)
The existence of the universe is in no way impressive to me.

I tend to agree. If you flip a coin and got 100 consecutive heads, the probability would be 7.9 x 10^-31. Assuming that the universe is approximately 14 billion years old, then roughly 100 quadrillion seconds have passed since the beginning of the universe. Assuming we assign the probability of this universe coming into existence to be equal to the probability of tossing 100 consecutive heads (e.g. fine-tuning), and assuming that there are 10^500 universes, the probability of our universe coming into existence is virtually certain.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for a comment to post why my original statement is only partly correct. Thanks for contributing, awesome.
ReplyDeleteIf 99.9% is the value of X, we must start all over again with that in mind.
99.9= ∞ (100-99.9)
99.9= ∞ ( 0.0[...]01 )
99.9=1=100 or, the multiple of 10 that is closest to 99.9, in this case, 100.
The odds for the universe to exist are not even 99.9%, rather 100%.
100% multiplied by ∞.
Probability should only be used prior to the event. Example: if your given a darts board that is a grid with 1 trillion cells, and you randomly fire, and then idiotically say "whats the probability I landed on (x,y)!" and then some other idiot says "Wow! one in a trillion!" If it never landed on (x,y) it would never enter your mind, which happens trillion-1 times. Can be applied to all things with a finite time limit. We dont know enough about the nature of universe to say if its finite or not. So in conclusion, the answer is we have no clue. -Julian Oks
ReplyDeleteI'm not talking about the interior of this universe, I talk about our universe contained within what is beyond. You might then say: what if there is a universe outside of that, and another outside and so on, but eventually there will be the absence of anything because of how large it is and the certainty of our universe occurring can once again be represented by what is above if it is infinite. There eventually is the void. The odds of there being no void are of ∞-1, so I don't really bother with that.
