An absurd theory would be inventing a supernatural creator to explain something that nobody quite has all the answers too. Especially when that fairy tale is based on Bronze Age bullshit from morons that were wandering around the desert 2000 years ago. One critical look at the bible makes it obvious we should not be using it as source material for understanding the origin of the universe.
Quantum fluctuations describe the sometimes unpredictable behavioral patterns of quarks and neutrinos. That produces uneven energy levels in an otherwise contained system that could absolutely be the catalyst for a massive chain reaction.
The observable universe provides us with a massive amount of data from which we can conclude the universe is expanding from a central point. The Hubble Telescope pretty much eliminated any doubt of that by observing the Red Light Shift.
The mechanism for it to exist is gravity. Think of it like a black hole. A black hole creates intense gravitational waves as a result of its tremendous mass warping space and pulling everything around it towards itself. Now imagine every black hole and all of the other mass and energy in the universe at a focused point. Gravity holds the thing together until the quantum fluctuations produce an asymmetry that results in a massive chain reaction that triggers enough energy to escape the gravitational field of the singularity.
The singularity is not really in question. It’s verified by math. The questions come from trying to understand what was happening while the singularity was intact and other more complex questions of theoretical physics. But every piece of evidence from astronomy tells us the universe is expanding from a singular point. We can model the entire observable universe based on calculus that integrates that assumption with Newtonian mechanics. Calling it absurd is just ignorant.
" An absurd theory would be inventing a supernatural creator"
Define supernatural.
" Quantum fluctuations describe the sometimes unpredictable behavioral patterns of quarks and neutrinos."
Not the question I asked, and not accurate either if you are suggesting it's all just about quarks and neutrinos. Terrible answer on your part, displaying ignorance of basic quantum mechanics.
" That produces uneven energy levels"
Once again, what is "that"? Where does it exist? What is it? You know, basic stuff. Is it physical or virtual for example and define material/physical and "virtual" so we have some agreement on basic definitions. It doesn't seem like you even understand the basic concepts.
" from which we can conclude the universe is expanding from a central point"
And yet the whole theory here rests on the ASSUMPTION of that being a physical point when in reality the concept of the universe fundamentally at it's core being physical or material has been disproven.
" The mechanism for it to exist is gravity."
Uh huh, so what is gravity? A curvature in space-time like Einstein believed or something else? How can there be gravity with no mass?
Basically you and others are just substituting a mythical singularity for God without any explanation how that mythical singularity came into existence or how it contained the intricate fine-tuned informational and mathematical principles to evolve into the universe.
" The singularity is not really in question. It’s verified by math."
LOL. Verified by math, eh? What a stupid comment in this context. Could math even exist during the mythical singularity's existence before expansion?
