Stephen Hawking says 'nothing' was around before origin of universe

[Big Tank]

NEW YORK: British physicist Stephen Hawking has said that there was nothing around before the big bang that created our universe.

“There was nothing around before the Big, Big Bang,” he said during a television talk show aired Sunday on National Geographic Channel, propounding his theory on what happened before the universe came into existence.

While it is a commonly known theory that the so-called Big Bang – the moment something impossibly tiny began to grow – brought about the universe billions of years ago and is still shaping it now, what has intrigued scientists more seems to be what was there before the ‘explosion’ when there was supposed to be nothing.




Hawking was seated next to host Neil deGrasse Tyson at the Star Talkshow, explaining his thought on events before the Big Bang.

Hawking’s theory lies upon the assumption that the universe has no boundaries. “The boundary condition of the universe … is that it has no boundary,” he told Tyson, who himself is also a physicist.

The Big Bang theory holds that the universe in retrospective can shrink to the size of an extremely small ‘subatomic ball’ known as the singularity.

According to Hawking, the laws of physics and time cease to function inside that tiny particle of heat and energy.

In other words, the ordinary real time as we know now shrinks infinitely as the universe becomes ever smaller but never reaches a definable starting point.

During the show, Hawking argued that before the Big Bang real ordinary time was replaced by imaginary time and was in a bent form.

“It was always reaching closer to nothing but didn’t become nothing.”

To help people better understand the abstract and confusing state, the world-celebrated physicist drew an analogy between the distorted time with ancient Greek philosopher Euclid’s theory of space-time, a closed surface without end.

Hawking further took Earth as an example. He said: “One can regard imaginary and real time beginning at the South Pole … there is nothing south of the South Pole, so there was nothing around before the Big Bang.”

“There was never a Big Bang that produced something from nothing.”

“It just seemed that way from mankind’s perspective,” Hawking noted, hinting that a lot of what we believe is derived from a human-centric perspective, which might limit the scope of human knowledge of the world.

How do you get something out of nothing ? My dude just violated the conservative of mass and energy.

 

[Arsalan 345]

There is no explanation of big bang itself.he predicted gravitational waves theory just because Einstein predicted cosmology.he has no solution when it comes to origin of universe.

He'll find out now what there was before.

Law of conservation of mass and energy only works in a closed system.
The forces (if it's a force) would have been outside the closed system of the known universe.

So no real law is violated.
Also you an make the argument that it was God that was the force outside the closed system. You won't have evidence, just like everyone else.

He died today.

He died today.

That's why I posted this, for those who were cheering him as a pro. He was nothing but some overrated baboon cheered up by Atheists and Agnostics after his foolish book.

Yes you can get something out of nothing, there was an article on it.

 

[Imran Khan]

He was right

The articles where vague on what nothing was, most said nothing was something...

"Nothing" is a state where a thing doesn't exist. Its the philosophy definition of "nothing". The article was referring to some theory in quantum physics, where particles pop in and out of existence. Not really my niche.

He is just saying what we already know as Muslims.

There was indeed NOTHING before Allah created universe. And we will go back to Nothingness.

"I am the almighty Allah, from whom is the divine rule, from whom is the power, from whom is the kingdom, I am King of all Kings, Where are your dictators, where are your oppressors, no one will answer, Allah will himself answer, power is for Allah, Might for Allah, the one, the only, the irresistible"

Yet, the Big Bang was conducted under perfect conditions!!! WHO did that???? Big Bang itself!!!! Ahh Ehl-I Kufr Ahh!!! They garbage their own intellect and rationality to go against GOD!! Now, everything will get clear to him, but it might be too late...

Yes from what we learnt in quran about universe is that at one point there was no universe and no skies.

Also if we read about black holes than black holes are not seen with eyes they are phenomenon observed by scientists where they feel that objects near these disappear or iforgot the explanatin i read. But i felt maybe black holes are invisible dark corridors that transfer objects from 1 st sky upto next skies.

I dont reject existence of blackholes as often many people (whether atheists or non atheists) do at times just cause there is no such physical evidence of it.

Specifically it was referring to anti-matter and matter cancelling each other out creating "Nothingness" however high energy laser pulses sort of create create a barrier between matter and anti-matter stopping them from cancelling out each other stopping the "nothingness" of the void. If anything it raises more questions in relation to the universe being created out of nothing... So Hawking's theory that the universe was created by itself without a Supreme Being is quite incomplete...
