Cosmology of Multiverses and the Origin of Life (1)

Cosmology of Multiverses and the Origin of Life (1) *Note: This article is from the book (Signature in the Cell: DNA and Intelligent Design Guides) for more please check out the book. Scientists are increasingly realizing that the potential resources of the observable universe are not sufficient to explain, by chance alone, the emergence of the simplest complex cell, or a self-replicating system of RNA molecules (or even a single protein of modest length), and in response some scientists have sought to explain the origin of life by other physical mechanisms or self-regulating processes. In the fifth month of 2007, Eugene Konin of the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the National Institutes of Health published an article in the journal Biology Direct titled "The Eternal Cosmological Inflation Model, and the Transition from Coincidence to Bioevolution in the History of Life", in which Konin admitted that neither the RNA hypothesis nor any previous chemical evolution hypothesis could be explained by the possibility of a better solution in the entire universe. To address this problem, Konin proposed an explanation for the origin of life based on mere chance, but his own interpretation based on chance is not due to any process occurring on the planet or even within the observable universe, but instead postulated the existence of an infinite number of universes that correspond to life, and argued that the existence of these universes would make the occurrence of the strangest unlikely events (such as the origin of life) possible and even inevitable. To justify his claim to the existence of other universes, he deduced one of the cosmological models based on the inflationary theory of cosmology, which was developed by cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin under the name of "multiverses in one world", since according to inflationary cosmology, the universe in the first part of a second after the Big Bang had an exponential expansion, and then the expansion returned to calm down and move at a quiet speed. Cosmologists with homogeneity mean that the universe looks the same to all observers, regardless of where they are. One aspect of this homogeneity is the symmetry of cosmic background radiation, which has the same degree in the entire observable universe. This is a problem with the standard Big Bang theory in cosmology. The confounding thing about this radiation is that it has the same temperature in all directions to a fraction of a hundred thousand, which means that the universe at 300,000 years old was incredibly uniform heat, which in turn requires super-precise initial conditions, so the observed homogeneity of the cosmic background radiation can be explained by the conventional Big Bang scenario assuming that the initial state of the universe is highly homogeneous in its temperature and plasma distribution, which in turn requires a controlled initial explosion. A homogeneous universe is called a "flat" if it is balanced between the ultimate gravitational collapse of space and the result of the eternal expansion, in which case its vacuum geometry is completely Euclidean, and space will not be curved, and our universe reaches this plane when its true mass density is close to the critical mass density (the density required to stop the expansion of the universe). The balance in the universe would have required very finely tuned initial conditions. Inflationary cosmology attempts to explain the horizon problem (homogeneity) as not resulting from these finely tuned initial conditions (although it deduces specific conditions of its own, see below), but instead interprets homogeneity as the result of early cosmic expansion at a high exponential rate. According to the cosmic inflation model, the temperature of the universe found an opportunity to homogenize during the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang. Inflation, according to current models, starts about 10 to 37 seconds after the Big Bang and continues to 10 to 35 seconds; where space itself expands the edge of the universe 1060 times or so. For example, it is assumed that at the beginning of the inflation period the observable size of the universe was about 10-60 meters, and its diameter at the end of the inflation was meters, but at the beginning of inflation the size of the horizon (the distance traveled by light since the Big Bang) is also visible light. Inflation explains the near-flat state of the universe as a result of hyperexpansion as well; all distances of the universe increased on a scale of 1060 times during inflationary time, meaning that the observable diameter of the universe increased at the same rate. He hypothesized that the four dimensions (time-space) of the universe before inflation had a positive curvature, such as the plane of a balloon when imagining its three dimensions, and that the diameter of the universe was also one billionth of a meter (nm). Our inflationary cosmology is related to the debate about the genesis of life because some cosmologists believe that it provides the mechanism by which many universes other than our own are generated, and because one famous molecular biologist has recently inferred these other universes in an attempt to explain the genesis of life, and according to the "chaotic inflationary model" that prevails today, the rapid expansion of the universe is driven by the "inflationary field" [a re-excessive field]. Inflationary cosmologists thus posit the disintegration of the inflation field as a mechanism by which other "universe bubbles" can be created, and assume that inflation can continue indefinitely in the future, and as a result the larger inflation field will produce an infinite number of universes as it disintegrates into local pockets of ever-expanding space. Konin adapted this cosmology to the explanation of the emergence of life by chance, and continued to argue for Finkin: since the inflationary field is capable of producing an infinite number of other universes, every event in our universe must have happened countless other times elsewhere, so that events that seem enormously improbable when the probabilistic resources of our universe are considered to be multi-probable, but inevitably, given the sheer number of other universes that exist. The occurrence of this very rare event on Earth and its cause in life as we know it is explained only by the principle of human selection.”5 By “human selection,” Konin simply means that our perception that life is amazingly improbable is a false result of our angle of view, and because we see only one universe bubble, we do not realize that the existence of other universes and the mechanism that produced those universes makes life in a universe like ours inevitable. Has Konin's use of inflationary cosmology solved the problem of the origin of life and the creation of biological information necessary for life? Has he proposed a better explanation for the origin of biological information than has been offered by intelligent design? We have several reasons to deny it. 1.

Calculations based on traditional Big Bang cosmology tell us that radiation coming from opposite directions in the sky could have originally been separated, when the universe was 300.000 years old, by about 100 distance horizon (horizontal distance is the distance that light can travel since the beginning of the universe). Thus, these calculations suggest that there was no chance of background radiation in the distant corners of the universe being "heated" to the same degree as the current universe, or connected to the thermal equilibrium state by mixing. 3. At the beginning of the inflation era, the size of the visible universe was e.g. 10-60 meters in size, at the end of which the visible universe would also have had a heterogeneity of about 1 meter. However, at the beginning of inflation the distance of the horizon (the distance that light could travel since the Big Bang) was 10-37 light seconds, much larger than the small patch that was to grow in our visible universe. 4.

The multi-in-one model has the result that all macro-sequences of events that are not prohibited by physical conservation laws do not only occur somewhere in an infinitely enlarged world, they occur repeatedly without limits where inflation produces new expanding regions of infinitely space-time. For example, the model suggests that there is an infinitely high probability of a corresponding macro-region being present and all that is present on it. 5.
