You are still failing to make coherent posts. You might try making a few clear and position statements to clarify your position on an eternal universe and something from nothing.
Very well...
Q_W is citing a philosophical approach to something we cannot currently measure. However, his philosophy is based on an ancient premise that
is currently falsified.
Let's examine how and why:
In BBT cosmology, theory begins a "moment" after event. In Q_W's cosmology, this event is one of many that occurs within a greater, unseen, cosmology. I think, if I understand his point correctly, that the event is part of that greater cosmology. Our current cosmology demonstrates an acceleration in expansion, space-time (where time is a part of space and not independent of space), and a probably Great Cooling of the Universe rather than a Big Crunch.
His View: [Avoiding a "Something from Nothing" approach, there must be a greater cosmos within which our cosmos exists.
What we observe and have observed with COBE and WMAP measurements is simply a local effect within a grander cosmos that is Eternal. ]
My problem with this containment is twofold:
-The assumption that something from nothing is valid and must be avoided. Nothing in philosophy or science demands that condition. Rather, a change of state is demanded.
-The Eternal cyclical nature he describes would be thwarted by a Big Freeze. A steady-state or closed universe would be better suited to this Greater Verse Above.
Bear in mind I may have misunderstood his cosmological view.
The current model of the universe is an open model, supported by measurements thus far (it's a long list - I can detail if you would like but will leave it as a generalized statement now for brevity) that would be incompatible with the notion of a greater universe 'above' it. This is because the properties of one must then overwhelm the properties of the other. That would be an observable effect, even from our limited viewpoint, again due to measurements made by COBE and WMAP of the
early Universe. So while we would not be able to observe those effects today, (We cannot even observe our entire Universe today due to expansion) we would be able to observe the interactions from the Early Universe in the cosmic background radiation. However, the data gathered matched prediction of an early expanding universe
exactly. Again, I can try to go into some detail on these early interactions on request, bearing in mind that we cannot observe what is "outside" of the Universe, we can see what parameters were involved in how it expanded.
