No Beginning, No End

G'day

That is logical

The question is how does it keep going ?

Continuous creation. This might have something to do with quantum fluctuations in the ZPF (0-point field). Also, matter might be created from light. This was done in the lab for the 1st time in '97 (September 1 issue of Physical Review Letters). It might also have something to do with the postulated abundance of molecualr H, which might explain the missing mass.

Hi SP, If you don't have a big bang would you have missing mass? Why would you need missing mass?

Hello, Jim,

The molecular H proposal for the missing mass of spiral galaxies is by Paul Marmet who is anti-Big Bang.

There is also Ronald Pearson's Big Breed model, which has an origin for the Universe at 100 bln. years ago, but I imagine it still might be compatible with a no-beginning formulation.

Yea, so why do you need to have missing mass? I know why the BB needs it but I don't have a clue why your eternal one needs it.

Hello

We know that matter can change phase from energy to normal matter and vice versa.

Electromagnetic reconnection of magnetic fields enables normal matter to transit, that's to change phase to Protons and Neutrons. Under extreme gravity and the right conditions such as in the core of a star protons change to Neutrons and remain confined. The dipole magnetic fields generate a pulse that ejects matter out from the core.

I argue that magnetic reconnection in jets can accelerate UHECRs rather independently of physical processes in the magnetic dissipation region. First order Fermi acceleration can efficiently take place in the region where the unreconnected (upstream) magnetized fluid converges into the reconnection layer. I find that protons can reach energies up to E~10^{20} eV in GRB and powerful AGN jets while iron nuclei can reach similar energies in AGN jets of more moderate luminosity.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
