Sentences with phrase «universe as an equation»

Not exact matches

As for numerologists, scientists, and non-believers in general... to explain anything within our universe completely and fully (even the big bang theory or evolution), one must eventually take a leap of faith and believe in something that equations or definitions can't quantify.

Not only is all material being mutually correlative within the equation that is the universe, he defines matter as that which relates to Transcendent Mind as its source of being, meaning and finality.

The Christian indeed has always recognised the immediate primacy of secondary causes in the bringing about of natural phenomena, but as serial causes have been traced further back, and their astonishing inter-dependence demonstrated, the scientist has tended to proclaim either a mathematical universe in which theses secondary causes may be identified with some primary basic formula, or equation, synonymous in definition with a physical ultimate, a universe inwhich God has no place; or else he has preferred to identify intellect with matter itself and has come to accept that idealistic cosmic pantheism which is almost as common a philosophy today as evolutionary materialism.

The Ascent of Being Essential to the concept of evolution, then, is «the perspective of the universe as the unfolding of a cosmic equation of energies, numbers, values, natures, and individual entities».

No equation could specify the amount of dark energy; it would just be luck — determined by which universe had the right amount of dark energy to make it hospitable to life (an idea known as the anthropic principle).

In Scherrer's equations, the density of the energy in the field breaks into two pieces: One decreases as the universe's volume increases, like dark matter, while the other remains constant, like dark energy.

We know from very precise supernova observations that the universe is accelerating, but at the same time we rely on coarse approximations to Einstein's equations which may introduce serious side - effects, such as the need for dark energy, in the models designed to fit the observational data.»

Smolin takes particular issue with two tenets of present - day physics: the claim that time as we know it emerges from some deeper set of laws, like the quantum cosmological equations Albrecht works with, and the belief that our universe is just one of many.

The density of the universe, as shown in Equation (4) on page 458, had to be fine tuned to one part in 1062.

In the case of intrinsic defects in space - time (e.g., cosmic strings or walls), the production of new defects as the universe expands is mathematically similar to a cosmological constant, although the value of the equation of state for the defects depends on whether the defects are strings (one - dimensional) or walls (two - dimensional).

The solution of the field equations that describe general relativity can yield answers to different physical situations, such as planetary dynamics, the birth and death of stars, black holes, and the evolution of the universe.
