Cosmology Debate Guide
From PhiloWiki
Cosmology is a scientific approach to the origin and fate of the universe.
[edit]
Origin of the universe
- How does modern cosmology explain the origin of the universe? Was there a first cause to the universe? How could the universe have emerged from nothing?
- Is our universe part of a multiverse? What is the evidence of other universes?
- What evidence is there for the Big Bang? Was there time before the Big Bang?
- Did the universe undergo a period of inflation?
- We inhabit a fine-tuned universe, in which the smallest variation in the fundamental constants apparently render the universe uninhabitable. How is this cosmic coincidence explained?
- What is quantum foam? Is there evidence for the virtual particles that are theoretically key to universe generation?
- Is there an ether?
- Why does the theoretical limit for the size of the observable universe match almost exactly the measured size?
- What is process physics? Is special and general relativity in danger of being overturned?
- What is simulation theory?
[edit]
Nature of the universe
- What causes gravity?
- Is the universe expanding faster than the speed of light?
- Is dark matter real?
- Is dark energy real?
- Contrary to Einstein, is there such a thing as absolute motion?
- Why can't we travel faster than light?
- What are the implications of a holographic universe?
- Are there flaws in the theory for the formation of planets?
