Causality revisited
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 11:42 pm
Just some new thoughts from a Zimbo on a rampage ;^).
Don't want to bore anyone with causality (again). but i have a few ideas on causality to share.
If the universe is run by the forces of cause and effect then it would not have all the information it has now.
After the Big bang the universe would have been perfectly symmetric with its focal point at the initial position of the singularity.
As it cooled random quantum fluctuations would have caused asymmetry's causing the different galaxies to form.
Without these fluctuations there would have been no preffered places for galaxies to form and there would in fact have been one very large symmetric galaxy.
What we observe, rather is that the universe looks the same whichever direction you look at it .
This is what you would expect as randomness "averages things out"
Also the universe is not *exactly* the same which is what you would expect if it was truly random.
In fact the universe has a large amount of "information" in its structure , and that can only be explained by introducing concepts such as randomness.
