  • Sounds interesting. Try it!

  • Theories maybe. Opposing ones even. The “cold” big bang and the “hot big bang.” As for the cold bb, what drives/drove inflation is theorized to have been a false vacuum. As for hot bb, same drive, but genesis in this case, thermodynamically, was infinite temperature and pressure. Infinities suck so we hit a dead end, for now. Big Bang nucleosynthesis is pretty much understood all the way back to a fraction of a second. A very, very tiny fraction. 10^-43, I believe it is. The Planck Time. At that very early instant, we can assume the temperature was not infinite, but a real number, albeit gargantuan.

  • Well, it seems to be that this should be a very intriguing question!

    Knowing little about the field, I felt reluctant to respond, but I think

    some response is in order!

    So….. knowing very little, I have the unjustifiable confidence to say that it would be TERRIFIC! 🙂

    At least on the basis that it might provide a way to account for a lack of antithermodynamic behavior.

    Although this, might in part, address another question concerning our fundemental understanding of spacetime, perhaps spacetime is temporally oriented by a time potential. Every space time point could have a time vector. (I think this idea was another interesting idea that you referenced in another question (e.g., Weingard?).

    Perhaps the asymmetries in time say something about the nature of time itself.

    And if it turns out that the connection can not be made, wouldn’t that also say something about the nature of time?

  • Quite simply, no.

    According to the second law of thermodynamics all things left to themselves tend to degenerate.

    Forensic science can establish a time of death based on thermodynamics – degeneration, but no science can establish the origin of time based on degeneration.

  • Hmmmph! Absolutely no background in this, but I’m thinking the Big Bang theory.

    Source(s): Maybe the Deity blew his nose? That would cover both the creation story and the Big Bang, Sounds good to me! I do hope in time we will have the definitive answer.

    How to obtain a pure sample of solid MgSO?

    Answers Favorite AnswerYou have to get the MgO into a more usable form. To do this, add water to MgO first.MgO + HO ---> Mg(OH)Now you can use Mg(OH) with sulphuric acid.Mg(OH) + HSO ===> MgSO + HOI suppose it is possible to write it asMgO + HO + HSO ===> MgSO + HOMgO + HSO ===> MgSO + HO It should work.Add distilled water to the MgO so that it becomes Mg(OH). For simplicity it is best to use the sulfuric acid, since the only products other than magnesium sulphate would be water. The water can be removed by heating the solution until most of the water boils away. If you want anhydrous magnesium sulphate then you can heat the hydrated salt that is left.Other than take a bottle of magneisum sulfate from the shelf in my stockroom?React Mg(OH), which is called milk of magnesia, and HSO, sulfuric acid, stoichiometrically, and evaporate the water, allowing the MgSO salt to precipitate.Mg(OH)(s) + HSO(aq) --> MgSO(aq) + HO(l)
