zeroth dimensional big bang

[Yoshi]

sorry for all these questions im asking, but do u think that maybe the big bang was in the zeroth dimension, and that with so much mass it just exploded.

i read somewhere in a space book that the big bang was infinitly small.

And do u think that in the future, if the universe collapse's again in to another bigbang thing, do u think that the universe would be in another zeroth dimension thing?

It is a considered possibility.

The reverse process is referred to as The Big Crush.

oh yah, i forgot.

That's interesting, but if it was true, then why would go just go from 0d to 3d? Maybe it really expanded an infinite number of spatial directions...

I thought it was called the Big Crunch

[Geosphere]

I think thats a candy bar.

[Yoshi]

or are u talking about mr. big

[alkaline]

can we keep this on topic please? And maybe post messages that are more than ten words long? This isn't a chat room, it's a forum. Thanks!

Anyway, on a search in google it seems that Big Crunch is the term that scientists use.

Sorry, boss, just havin fun.

Could be crunch, I apologize if I gave misinformation.

[alkaline]

having fun is good. Maybe i'm just strange, but the topic of the fourth dimension itself is really fun :-) It's okay to joke around, I guess I'd just like some more substance, so maybe include some more discussion of the relevant topic with whatever other comments that you have. It almost seems like you guys aren't really talking about anything at all. I don't mean to pick on anyone in particular. I'm quite happy to have people coming to my forum and posting messages, so keep doing that!

It seems to me that I remember reading a theory about the Big Bang that indicated that the universe started from a 0-dimensional beginning, then ballooned to 9 or 10 spacial dimensions when it 'banged'. Then, as the universe expanded and cooled, there wasn't enough 'pressure' (or something?) to maintain it, so all but the three dimensions we perceive shrank into these teeny coiled up loops. Imagine an infinitely long tube: Around the circumference is a closed loop, a coiled up dimension. If the coiled dimension is very small, it would not be perceived, and perhaps the 1-dimensional creatures who inhabit that tube-universe never realize that they are actually two-dimensional through this tiny closed loop. If it were true, we might be living in a nine or ten-dimensional universe, but able to only perceive three of the dimensions.

That's pretty confusing, but interesting at the same time. I put up a post a while ago about the physical body limiting us to the 3D visuals, sounds etc. What you're saying here kind of fits with what I was saying so maybe we're onto something!!! or we could be totally off, who knows I love it when things make sence, but that's when you usually find a new set of information that says your wrong, :? o well, it's still fun stuff

cedric said "the physical body"
does that apply to the soul?

[cedrec]

no, the soul, if you believe in such things, would not be part of the physical body. The sould would be that energy i was talking about in my post that is left over after one's death that may be able to move onto the next, 4th, dimension.
