A strange theory about the universe.

When it comes to the universe, the mainstream physics we learn is fantastic, but in the world of Theoretical Physics and cosmology, there are also "extreme" ideas (or some people may think that they are out of the world) that scientists have hypothesized to explain what we do not know yet.

Here's a strange theory about the universe that sounds like science fiction, but has math and physics behind it:

# # 1.The Holographic Universe Theory (The Holographic Principle)

The theory says * * "ourselves and the 3D universe we see may be just an illusion projected from the outermost edge of the 2D universe." * *

* * * Idea: * * Imagine a holographic sticker on a credit card. The sticker is a smooth, 2D sheet, but when we tilt it, we see a 3D image with depth.

* * * Physics reasons: * * * This theory stems from an attempt to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox. Physicists have found that the data of everything that falls into a black hole does not disappear, but is "recorded" on a two-dimensional surface on the edge of the black hole. Scientists have expanded on this idea that our entire universe may be recorded on the edge of the universe in two dimensions and projected into the dimensions we now have.

# # 2.Cosmic bubble theory / Cosmic natural selection (Cosmological Natural Selection)

Lee Smolin, a theoretical physicist, proposes that * * "our universe can 'reproduce' and 'evolve' like living things." * *

* * * Idea: * * Every time a black hole collapses, it will not only absorb things, but the immense compression inside the center of the black hole will "explode," becoming a new Big Bang on the other side, forming a * * * "Baby Universe" * * * inside it.

* * * Strangeness: * * The child universe will be transmitted "DNA" (physics constants such as gravitational value, mass of electrons) from the mother universe, but there is a slight mutation. Which universe has a physics law that is very conducive to black holes will have offspring, and the universe that is not conducive to black holes will be "extinct," where our universe has a physics law that is conducive to black holes (and coincidentally conducive to the existence of creatures like us).

# # 3.Simulation of the Universe (Simulation Hypothesis)

The idea that * * "We're not really in the universe, we're just computer programs that are rung into the supercomputers of a civilization that's more advanced than us." * *

* * * Idea: * * Imagine the game * The Sims * so detailed that the characters in the game have their own ideas. Philosopher Nick Bostrom and billionaire Elon Musk are quite theoretical.

* * * Physics reasons: * * * Some physicists have begun to observe why our universe has a "speed limit" (c\ 300,000 kilometers / s), which is the same as the Processor Speed limit in computers, and at the quantum level, matter does not have a certain position until someone "observes." It is like an open world game that only renders images that players look at to save on ram graphics.

# # 4.Reverse Flow Time Theory / Mirror Parallel Universe (The Anti-Universe)

A physicist at the Perimeter Institute in Canada proposed the theory a few years ago: * "When the Big Bang was born, not only was our universe created, but another parallel universe was created at the same time." * *

* * * Idea: * * This parallel universe is like a mirror image of our universe. Everything will be the whole opposite:

* In that universe * * time will flow backwards * * (walk from the future to the past)

* All matter will be * * antimatter (Antimatter) * *

* * * Physical Reason: * * * To preserve the basic laws of symmetry of physics (CPT Symmetry) that indicate that nature should be balanced, if based on this theory, the twin universe is the reason why our universe only has normal matter, and why our side's time flows forward alone.

# # 5.The Block Universe (The Block Universe / Eternalism)

The theory says * * "Past, present, and future are all at once from day one, and time doesn't 'flow' anywhere." * *

* * * Concept: * * According to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, time is relative (each observer in the universe touches slow time, fast is not equal depending on speed and gravity).

* * * Strangeness: * * If you imagine the universe as a long loaf of bread, the past is the head of bread, the future is the end of bread, ourselves in our childhood, ourselves now, and ourselves in our old age * * are living together * * in a different sheet of starbread, our sense of time flowing from the past to the future is only because our brain creates that kind of cognitive mechanism (like a video reader who slowly plays a piece of film with all the images recorded).

Are there any of these five theories that sound heartbreaking, or would you like to discuss them in more detail?

If the first five theories are unsatisfactory, let's take a look at the "framed" theories and challenge the imagination a step further. Some of them may make you start to wonder what we see around now...What exactly is it?

# # 1.The Egg Universe Theory

The semi-theory is a combination of quantum physics, philosophy, and literature (adapted from Andy Weir's short story, author of * The Martian *).

* * * Idea: * * This theory says * * "In this universe, there is only one human being, and that human is yourself." * *

* * * Stranger: * * Everyone you've ever met in your life, parents, friends, lovers, strangers, or even historical figures like Adolf Hitler and the Buddha...All are * * * "you" * * that are reincarnated in different dimensions of time. This universe is created like an "egg" or a large classroom, so that your soul can die, be born into every human that has ever been, to learn and accumulate experiences to eventually become the new "Creator."

* * * Connection to physics: * * In quantum physics, there is a hypothesis called * * "One Electron Theory in the Universe" * * by Richard Feynman, which proposes that every electron in the universe may be just one electron bouncing across the dimension of time, so that it seems to exist at the same time.

# # 2.Dark matter theory is the "brain waste" of the universe (The Boltzmann Brain)

Physicists have been trying to figure out what is the mass of dark matter in the universe but we can't see until a haunting hypothesis arises.

* * * Idea: * * According to mechanics, statistics and thermodynamics, if there is a long enough time in an empty universe, the randomness of particles (Quantum Fluctuation) has the opportunity to coalesce into any object.

* * * Strangeness: * * Physicists have found that the likelihood of particles coalescing into a * * "brain floating alone in space" * * with ready-made memories (thinking of yourself as a human being, living on Earth, having a home, having a family) is more likely to happen * * * easier and more often * * that the universe will actually create stars, Earth, and evolve life! So this theory challenges that, or indeed, the world and the universe around you do not exist, you are just a lone brain that was formed in the void a second ago and thinking about reading this.

# # 3.Observant-aware cosmic theory (Biocentrism)

Dr. Robert Lanza, a biological scientist and an expert physician, proposed a theory that interpolates humanity's thinking.

* * * Idea: * * Traditional, we believe that "the universe was born first and then created life," but the Biocentrism theory says, instead, * * "Creatures and perceptions are the creators of the universe." * *

* * * Physical reasons: * * According to the * Double-slit experiment * in quantum physics, that proves that light particles or electrons change their behavior from "waves" (everywhere and absolutely impersonal) to "particles" (tangible matter) * * only if humans or tools go to "observe" them * *

* The theory thus concludes that space (space) and time (time) are not things but just "brain tools" to organize information if the soul or perception of the organism is not observed...The universe is just an empty, shapeless, colorful, nonexistent probability soup.

# # 4.Cosmic End Theory with "False Vacuum" (False Vacuum Decay)

This is the scariest doomsday theory in physics, because it can happen * * "now" * * and no one knows in advance.

* * * Idea: * * In particle physics, everything in the universe wants to be in a state of the lowest and most stable energy (called True Vacuum). Now all matter and physics laws are in a seemingly stable state, but the limitations of the "Higgs Boson" particle indicate that our universe may be in a state of * * "False Vacuum" * * is like a ball suspended on a flat hill, but it has not yet reached the bottom of the true abyss.

* * * * * * If the Day of Reconciliation occurs, Quantum Tunneling, a particle at one of the points of the universe pushes "through" into the True Vacuum, it will burst and spread out into a * * "bubble of destruction" * * expanding in all directions at the speed of light.

* Whatever this bubble passes through, the laws of physics will change immediately, the atoms will separate, the chemistry will not work, the earth and we will break down into pure energy in the blink of an eye, and we will never know it because it runs at the speed of light.

> You can see that the further science advances, the line between * * "advanced physics" * * and * * "philosophy / mysteries" * * begins to fuse together.

Of all this, what view makes you feel most "eh" about your own existence in this universe?
