The funny thing about seeking a rational explanation to the universe is that, the universe is literally built upon irrationality.

Pi, the suare root of 2, euler’s number, the golden ratio, etc…

Back in HS (when I thought about stuff like that too much)
I decided the universe isn’t irrational,
it’s twisted.

Twisted in the head maybe. :rofl:

Naah
I hadn’t figured it out (and maybe I was wrong)
but I pictured things like the golden ratio and Euler’s number,
and the solar system winding through the Milky Way and thought
“It seems to make more sense if we try to picture ‘it’ as a corskscrew augering its way through the universe instead of as a flat spiral.”

Just a weird teenage nerd having a nerd thought.

That’s how revolutionary discoveries end up happening.

Yeah actually it probably is.

On a similar note,
I heard that the (matter in the) universe is expanding at an accelerating rate.
Scientists, (I am not one) attribute this to “dark energy.”

I think maybe what is really going on is that the universe is very very young.
My logic:
an explosion of say, TNT has a maximum velocity of 7,000 meters per second, but it takes 1/10,000th of a second to reach that velocity.

Between T= 0 and T= 1/10,000th of a second to reach that speed.
Meanwhile, that “universe” is expandng at an expanding rate.

There are several physics guys here who know more about this stuff than I do.
Anyone of my weird thoughts could turn out to be just a dumb idea.

The Big Bang never stopped. It’s still “exploding.”

Physics have to do with the physical (matter/energy within the construct of spacetime).

Spacetime is non-physical, and thus not necessarily bound by the physical laws (i.e. it is expanding faster than the “speed of light” which is the limit in which matter/energy can travel through the construct of spacetime).

The more space that Dark Energy expands, the more space is created, the more Dark Energy is expanding spacetime, the more space is created, etc., etc…

Now that I’ve had a proper wake-and-bake, I can see that you were perhaps envisioning the Universe as a sort of Klein Bottle, without even knowing what one was. Very impressive.

This is so one-sided
