  2. Background independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_independence

    Background independence is a condition in theoretical physics that requires the defining equations of a theory to be independent of the actual shape of the spacetime and the value of various fields within the spacetime.

    Q & A with Dejan Vinkovic illustrated with a few pictures and a GIF animation of a self-creating universe, in which Gott advocates the importance of the average person having an education in science and especially physics. Abstract to Gott's "A grim reckoning" New Scientist article - online content of the full article requires a paid registration.

  4. Big Bang - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

    The Big Bang is a physical theory that describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature. [1] The notion of an expanding universe was first scientifically originated by physicist Alexander Friedmann in 1922 with the mathematical derivation of the Friedmann equations.

  5. Principle of relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_relativity

    In physics, the principle of relativity is the requirement that the equations describing the laws of physics have the same form in all admissible frames of reference.. For example, in the framework of special relativity, the Maxwell equations have the same form in all inertial frames of reference.

    The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything is a popular science book by the futurist and physicist Michio Kaku. The book was initially published on April 6, 2021, by Doubleday. [1] [2] The book debuted at number six on The New York Times nonfiction best-seller list for the week ending April 10, 2021. [3]

  7. Omega Point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Point

    Mathematical physicist Frank Tipler generalized [13] Teilhard's term Omega Point to describe what he alleges is the ultimate fate of the universe as required by the laws of physics: roughly, Tipler argues that quantum mechanics is inconsistent unless the future of every point in spacetime contains an intelligent observer to collapse the ...

  8. Theory of everything - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

    At present, there is no candidate theory of everything that includes the standard model of particle physics and general relativity and that, at the same time, is able to calculate the fine-structure constant or the mass of the electron. [2]

  9. Anthropic principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle

    a particular multiverse with a "measure", i.e. a well defined "density of universes" (so, for parameter X, one can calculate the prior probability P(X 0) dX that X is in the range X 0 < X < X 0 + dX), and; an estimate of the number of observers in each universe, N(X) (e.g., this might be taken as proportional to the number of stars in the ...
