    1d Big bang
In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of a one dimensional universe at the beginning of the Big Bang, which then formed into a two dimensional form and eventually evolved into our current three dimensions with time. The source cited is a live science article and a better reference is provided in the form of an arXiv paper. The conversation also mentions the LHC experiments and a hypothesis in causal dynamical triangulation as possible explanations, but ultimately concludes that all theories about the early universe are speculative. Another source is mentioned which suggests that the properties of the universe may resemble those of condensed matter systems.

Was the beginning of the univeres's Big Bang, a one dimensional construct which then formed into a two dimensional form and later, our three dimensions with time?

We don't discuss personal speculation here. Do you have a source for this idea?

No one knows. All theories regarding the very early universe are very speculative.

Interesting. I was not aware of this. A better reference is probably here:

While I'm not aware of dedicated studies, I think the LHC experiments would have noted if high-energetic (~1 TeV) 4-jet events would be very planar, as predicted there. And the cross section is not falling with energy, it is rising.

I think, right now, It's not that speculative-- knowing that properties of the universe resembles condensed matter system.

Related to Could the universe's Big Bang be 1D?

1. What is the Big Bang theory?

The Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted explanation for the origin and evolution of the universe. It states that the universe began as a singular point of infinite density and temperature, and has been expanding and cooling ever since.

2. How can the Big Bang be 1D?

The Big Bang is generally believed to have created the three dimensions of space (length, width, and height) that we experience in our everyday lives. However, some theories propose that the universe may have originally been 1-dimensional, meaning it only had one dimension of space. This is still a topic of debate among scientists.

3. What evidence supports the idea of a 1D Big Bang?

There is currently no direct evidence to support the idea of a 1D Big Bang. However, some theoretical models, such as string theory, suggest that the universe may have started with only one dimension of space before expanding into the three dimensions we observe today.

4. How does the concept of a 1D Big Bang differ from traditional Big Bang theory?

In traditional Big Bang theory, the universe began as a singularity and expanded into three dimensions. In the 1D Big Bang concept, the universe would have started with only one dimension and expanded into three. This would have significant implications for our understanding of the early universe and the laws of physics.

5. What are the implications of a 1D Big Bang for our understanding of the universe?

If the universe did begin as 1-dimensional, it would challenge our current understanding of the laws of physics. It would also require a new model to explain the expansion and evolution of the universe. Additionally, it could potentially lead to new insights into the fundamental nature of the universe and its origins.
