It does not
depend on where your progress lies. The farther you try to look outside our
endless universe even with great technological innovations, till eternity, you
will never succeed. All the laws of physics restrict us to see beyond our
observable universe. No one will ever know what's behind the scenes of our
universe. But, let’s try. Let's look beyond our limitations, keeping aside all
the laws for a while.
If you are a science freak, you must have wondered on
a frequent question. Are we alone in this cosmos? Or maybe, Is this the only cosmos? This is now
humanity's No.1 question. “The
multiverse”. We’ll answer it today with a stroke of fiction.
Multiverse has always been a contagious issue for
debates. The idea of multiverse offers us a big tight spot because we can't
practically prove it. The multiverse is the idea that our home universe - that
looks unimaginable never-ending, is a part of a big family. This universe may
or may not be connected to each other. We'll never know. But what we can know is the
existence of the multiverse. We can make it theoretically achievable.
Being so tiny in our own universe, how can we detect
multiverse? The universe is expanding with speed beyond light. Speed faster than light? Well, yes
that's possible. Possible for our Universe but not for stuff inside it.
The observable universe is about 50 billion
light-years long, taking into account that we are the centre of everything in
the universe. But, there is more space inaccessible. So, to solve the idea of
the multiverse we will get into the two different points but all together
theories.
One, unimaginably big at the cosmic level - The
Eternal Inflation.
And another, an unimaginably small at the atomic level - The
Quantum Theory Of Uncertainty.
Roughly over 13.8 billion years ago, all matter was compacted
into a very small ball with infinite density and intense gravitational pull – The singularity. It is believed there was no space
and time. Everything was silent and dead. And then something occurred because
of which an explosion amazingly capable enough to create our universe, took
place. The universe got shaped and started expanding.
Just like you inflate a balloon. But this time, you
filled a lot of air inside it. The balloon did not burst and inflated for
perpetuity. Between 0 to approx 10-4 second
at the plank scale after Big Bang, Inflationary Epoch took place. In this epoch, the
universe stretched out exponentially. The heat was about 1027 Kelvin. And then slowly, the universe started pulling
down.
As the temperature decreased, the energy of the
subatomic particle (created at the time of inflationary epoch), also decreased
and the fundamental forces change them into macro-forms. Everything started
cooling down. The thing didn’t stop was inflation.
It was not till mid-1900, We, humans came up with the
idea of an expanding universe. When Edwin Hubble, discovered that distant
Galaxies were going far from each other it gave up the theory of cosmos
inflation.
The freshest estimation for the inflation theory takes
M-theory as its base and proposed that our
universe is just one in a family of the multiverse that is connected by higher
dimensions. Take any two of them. This two universe will not know each other
unless they happen to collide, which creates an equivalence to Big Bang. This
theory is known as The Ekpyrotic
Theory. It is
a cosmological model of the early universe that explains
the origin of the large-scale structure of the cosmos. The model has also
been integrated into the cyclic universe theory, which proposes a
complete cosmological history, both the past and future.
Now, there is a physical limit to how hot the big bang
could have reached. If the temperature was so damn high then there would be
evidence that there aren’t any temperature changes. The fact that these proofs
are not present provides us with a big result - the universe never reached an
illogically high temperature. Something came before the hot Big Bang.
And here, the Inflation
The theory comes into play. We have much close evidence that supports time in
the early universe when inflation started. Only inflation, as we know, gives us
the predictions for own Universe that matches with whatever we observe.
But still, we didn't get answers on the multiverse.
Our second step is quantum mechanics. Till now we have seen inflation as a
never-ending field. We will combine this idea with a principle of UNCERTAINTY from
Quantum Field Theory.
In Quantum Mechanics, uncertainty tells that the
position and the velocity of a particle cannot be measured at a particular
time. So, as time goes on, even for a particle, its position will spread out
exponentially over time.
If that's true, the inflation field energy will
convert itself to matter and another form of energies. As the universe will
expand, the value of the field will also change slowly and this will be
different in different regions. Here, the
quantum nature of inflation means that as there are different values of the
inflation field in different parts; there will be some parts where expansion
stops and others where it doesn't.
Places where inflation stops right away, we get a Big
Bang. This will create a new universe. So inside a single loop, constantly new
The universe is being created. This is Multiverse. Inflation never ends. This is
how things should flow.
Where the Infinite nature of the universe ends, new infinite
Universe starts. Well said, part of the journey is the end.
Till date, this is just a hypothesis that looks perfect... Turn around,
observe, and think again. If everything goes well my friend - Boom, you have
solved the toughest question for our civilization. Multiverse exists and that’s
your new address.
