宇宙有开始吗?

Did the universe have a beginning?

Audrey Mithani, Alexander Vilenkin

摘要:

我们讨论了三个候选方案,似乎允许宇宙可能永远存在的可能性,没有初始奇点:永恒的通货膨胀,循环演化,和新兴的宇宙。前两个场景在测地线上对过去是不完整的,因此不能描述一个没有开始的宇宙。第三个,虽然它相对于经典微扰是稳定的,但可以量子力学地坍缩,因此不可能有永恒的过去。

英文摘要:

We discuss three candidate scenarios which seem to allow the possibility that the universe could have existed forever with no initial singularity: eternal infation, cyclic evolution, and the emergent universe. The first two of these scenarios are geodesically incomplete to the past, and thus cannot describe a universe without a beginning. The third, although it is stable with respect to classical perturbations, can collapse quantum mechanically, and therefore cannot have an eternal past.
