Happy Birthday Gerry C

hope you had a good day,young man..........:beerjug:
 
Feck off - me birthday is the day after tomorrow.
I know the universe is heading for oblivion but don't be rushing it. :aidan

P.S. Is there only one universe. :nenau

Certainty is the enemy of progress or so I suppose. :beerjug:

OOOOooooppppppssss

Sorry about that Gerry, I'll kill that little birdie:toungincheek


anyway I'm busy the day after tomorrow and at least you shouldn't receive any belated birthday wishes:D
 
.................Is there only one universe. :nenau

In the book "Stephen Hawking's Universe: The Cosmos Explained" it says our universe [has] 770 supervigintioctingentillion(?) super clusters, 1 super cluster and 20 billion galaxies in each direction making our universe a finite giant balloon like the boundaries of the earth. But '''infinite''' other universes make the multiple universes come together to make up the alternate universes. Multiple alternate universes, mega universes, multiple mega universes, super mega universes, super multiple mega universes, ultra universes, multiple ultra universes, ultra multiple ultra universes, ultra multi ultra universe which make up a multiverse. Which atoms or negative infinity [of] a neutron proton or electron of an atom a[re] in negative infinity of that is a multiverse. Those atoms are [part] of a grain of sand [in] which infinite atoms make up this sand grain. [And] the sand is of the cosmic desert which goes on in every direction without end in any place which make up cosmic deserts.
'''''Other views-'''''

'''No one knows''', so anything claiming otherwise is simply theory. Unfortunately, at this time, we can't have an answer to this question. We have no idea if we have one infinite universe, a finite one or many of varying sizes. Or even if they would be considered universes in our limited knowledge and vocabulary.

Hawking also proposes the theory of the no boundary universe.
Other theories abound.

Gerry, that made my head spin, so now I can't think was your birthday / will your birthday be earlier or later...it is worse than when the clocks go back!
Anyhow, Happy Birthday, from the depths of the not-so-cosmic desert. It is +1C here this morning, but blue sky so manageable karma-wise.

Than what?

Unanserable - given the current impossibility of reconciling relativity and quantum theory. What is Space-Time?. Alas, there is no answer, at least not for now, and maybe never. Why does the universe appear to have one time and three space dimensions? In other words, what are space and time, and what is the strange combination of Space and Time that is the Spacetime Continuum? Spacetime continues to be one of the great scientific mysteries of the universe.

There is an underlying fundamental question we have never answered, it is best illustrated by asking - if we travel to the end of the universe and find a brick wall, what is behind the wall? Is our universe inside a walled "container" that allows us to measure distances from points on the fixed surface of the container. Or is our universe the container itself with nothing beyond the boundaries? If so there is no fixed background we can use to measure time and space. General relativity favors a background free universe where distance and time are measured by relative positions of objects in our universe, so that in a real sense what time it is depends on which object we are standing on when we ask the question. Quantum Theory favors a fixed background that pretty much lets us say exactly where we are at a given time.

Are all the (measurable) dimensionless parameters that characterize the physical universe calculable in principle or are some merely determined by historical or quantum mechanical accident and incalculable? What is the fundamental nature and origin of all the numbers that describe our universe, including space-time? It is clear that human beings cannot go beyond what science calls boundary conditions, yet it may also be impossible for us to answer questions about the most fundamental physical nature of our observable universe.

Happy birthday greetings but deeply concerned

Does the lucidity of this response identify you were drinking through the night? Have a great day Gerry:bow:bow
 
Just listened to Melvin Bragg IOT "The Neutrino", and one guy said that 60 million (or was it billion) neutrinos go through our eyeballs every second. Eh, ok. Cup of tea?
