Pow! Zap! (Big) Bang?! (Introduction)
> My own theory: The Nonexistent Universe > Does the Universe in fact "exist"? If relativity and quantum uncertainty are accepted as correct then because of the velocity of light the "visible universe" that we can see now is not the "universe now" that we would see if the velocity of light was instantaneous. The only part of the "universe now" that exists, from our point of view, is the "here and now". All other parts of the "universe now" are in the future and do not yet exist. But if we suppose the Andromeda Galaxy, say, continues to evolve for 200 million years the way our's has, then presumably there might be observers there "now" (in the instantaneous sense). But on the other hand there might not, because the future of the Andromeda Galaxy cannot be predicted by us. So there is a sense in which, like Schrodinger's cat, the Andromedans both exist and don't exist "now".-I find your theory fascinating. We can see out to 300,000 years after the BB, but we have no idea what the rest of the universe is like going to the edge(?) of space time which really has no edge, beyond what we 'see'. I think the universe exists within that framework, the one we see. The rest of it must exist, but not for us. That is my interpretation of what you have written.
