Since the dawn of time, non-scientific interpretations of the solution have evoked a wide variety of deities and served as the foundation for all major faiths and schools of thought.
In order to determine what came before the universe in which
we exist, a team of mathematicians from Canada and Egypt has combined
cutting-edge scientific theory and a perplexing set of equations.
They discovered that the cosmos essentially passes through
four different phases by applying the theories of the very small, the realm of
quantum mechanics, to the entire universe, which is explained by the general
theory of relativity.
More crucially, they learned that there was another
universe—or, more precisely, another "cosmological phase"—that
existed before this one.
Our cosmos, despite being limitless in size, has always
existed in one of four stages and is cyclical.
The universe is expanding, and it is speeding up, but the
team thinks that a quantum mechanical change will eventually stop the expansion
and drag everything back to a nearly infinite point, at which time the cosmos
will begin expanding once more.
Prof. Mir Faizal summarized the key ideas of the study
"Non-singular and Cyclic Universe from the Modified GUP," which was
written by Maha Salah, Fayçal Hammad, Mir Faizal, and Ahmed Farag Ali.
He claims that utilizing a method known as the modified GUP,
quantum mechanical phenomena have been introduced into cosmology.
This method alters the cosmological equation in an
intriguing way. Our cosmos will go through four different phases, with the
current phase being merely one of them, according to this theory.
In this cosmological model, there is a phase before the big
bang, and by studying the physics of the current phase of our universe, it is
possible to learn about that era of the universe.
According to Professor Mir Faizal, there occurred a phase
transition from one phase of the universe to another, not the big bang, at the
beginning of the universe.
"The universe can exist in four separate phases, just
as regular water can exist in three phases, thus this is plausible. By studying
the mechanics of this universe, we can learn about pre-Big Bang cosmology just
as we can learn about the qualities of ice by examining water that has
developed from it.
We may examine the physics of the cosmological phase prior
to the creation of our universe using our cosmological model.
They have been able to research the universe's conditions
prior to the Big Bang using their model. According to the mathematics in their
model, the universe will eventually stop expanding and then enter a phase of
contraction.
Professor Mir said, "When the equations are stretched
beyond the maximum rate of contraction, a cyclic universe scenario arises.huge
bang and huge crunch scenarios have been proposed by other cosmologists,
although those models contain singularities.
The breakdown of the laws of physics is indicated by
singularities, and at such locations, it is impossible to employ physics to
produce meaningful conclusions.
"Such singularity is eliminated by this new cosmic
model. The improved GUP-corrections to the cosmology can therefore also prevent
the big bang singularity.
They use a cosmological model of the cosmos that includes
quantum processes to explain how the universe's cyclic character arises.
Even though there are numerous innovative theories of
quantum gravity, such as string theory and loop quantum gravity, Prof. Faizal
argued that most of them share the idea that space does not exist below a
certain threshold of length.
Numerous of these theories also assert that there is a limit
energy beyond which no object in the universe may have an energy.
The research team's cosmological model included the impact
of having a minimum length and a maximum energy, and the result was a cyclic cosmos.
Prof. Mir was questioned regarding the philosophical and
even potential theological implications of his study. He responded, "No
one draws any philosophical or theology implications of a limited or an
infinite spatial dimension, and time is just another dimension, so why should
it be viewed any differently.
In any event, "I do not believe in a God of gaps, with the big bang being a gigantic gap, but in a God who built the mathematics of reality so precise that there are no gaps, not at the present time nor at the great bang.
