And it's not really wrong, it just doesn't explore all the plausible possibilities (which again makes sense in the context of who the document is targeted at). No need to include even more caveats. | |

@Luaan, yeah, a frequent analogy would also often be a balloon being pumped up, which is wrong on so many levels... the part you brought up stated (that it may not even require a infinite universe) is included in the very small "if" in In fact, if the whole universe is infinitely large now; I would leave the quote as is, the answer is quite long already. Or did you feel it's really misleading as it stands now?

| Apr 18, 2018 at 9:30 | comment | added | Luaan | For your Harvard quote, note that it's not even required for the big bang to have occurred in a larger universe - when people try to imagine the topology of the universe, they usually use analogies like "warped piece of paper", which intuitively lead to the idea of something being "out there", beyond the bounds of the paper. But that isn't required at all - for example, if you represent wind direction as a 1 dimensional quantity (N->E->S->W->N), it clearly loops back on itself (no start or end), can be pictured as a circle, but has no "inside" or "outside". There's so many possibilities. | |
