Beyond "Climategeddon" - from science education to solutions


I would actually not say it's all irrelevant, because *if* a violation of any Law of Thermodynamics could be proved, we'd have to go back to the drawing board like no time since QM had to be developed to account for the lack of an ultraviolet catastrophe. And I think it's a misconception worth clearing up.

"The big bang itself.
where did the energy come from?"

There is no cause to suppose that it had to "come from" anywhere. The energy was there. Before, we don't claim to know because we have no way to know. Making any assumption is invalid, but making an assumption that violates the Law of Conservation of Energy, based only on an anthropomorphic intuition of time which manifestly did not apply "then" is the most invalid of all possible assumptions.

I enthusiastically recommend 'The Fabric of the Cosmos' by Brian Greene for more about this.
