My understanding is that our Universe is endless in all 4 dimensions and in scale. Every point of Universe contains infinite number of small, even infinite small, particles. These particles are forming large objects, even infinite large objects. And these objects are oscillating endlessly: condensing and evaporating, so whole Universe cannot be sink into singularity, even in endless time.
IMHO, we are in large bulb of plank-scale particles, which are called "physical vacuum", which are forming medium for all other particles and forces to travel. This medium is not regular: it denser in center (so it causes red shift), it denser around massive objects.
- ifdefdebug 10y agoIMHO it's just turtles all the way down
- Joof 10y agoAt least that means it converges and we can estimate it to some useful degree.

What "particles"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEKSpZPByD0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEKSpZPByD0 (really worth it! Watch at 1.5 times speed) and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12377393 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12377393 (reading the discussion is useless though without understanding at least what is presented in the above lecture)
- lisivka 10y agoEvery particle is composed from smaller particles, which are floating in a medium (field) formed by much much smaller particles. And this pattern repeats endlessly at any scale. So there no particles, only fields OR there is no fields, only particles.
