MclarenP1 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Please can you help me with this? I think that I understand the basics of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, however don't know how the fluctuations that cause matter to appear, appear themselves. I do understand that users who comment on this thread mustn't give me the answer, however I would appreciate it if you could direct me towards the correct websites. Thanks in advance; it's for a debate on Monday, so replying soon would be great! Edited September 21, 2013 by Phi for All I hope this is OK with you!

pears Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Did quantum fluctuations cause the big bang? Edited September 21, 2013 by pears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh M Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 What's the debate topic? Are you comparing scientific theories about the origin of the universe, or is it a creationist vs. evolution argument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MclarenP1 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Well, it's stupid really; it's a debate in R.E. lessons and people make a joke of always turning to me for a scientific explanation. I'm only fifteen, and I'm not even that smart. Anyway, since the cause of the Big Bang is still debated, and also because my best friend and I always take opposing sides as part of a friendly bit of competiton, I came out with quantum fluctuation as an answer, which I read in New Scientist ages ago. Not that you'd be particularly interested, but we've been split into sub-groups with a designated leader and an autonomously-chosen topic. And now I'm expected to say something about quantum fluctuation- something that I don't really understand. All that I need is a simple explanation of the process- that's if cutting-edge science really can be distilled into something that even fiteen-year-olds can understand. Once again, thanks for all of your replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jduff Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well you have two theories you are wanting to work together. While I wont give you the answer, what research is for. I will give you a hint. Super massive and Super small. Now how can you get both of those together? I would recommend reading up on String Theory. As well as the Theory of Everything. Should give you the bumps you need to overcome your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
