Widdekind Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Some scientists say, that the LHC can "recreate the conditions [quite close to] of the Big Bang". But, what if our Cosmos is Closed ? Then, mere moments after the Big Bang, Space was still "Hyper-Curved", compared to today, after space has expanded for 14 G.yr., and is not very far from Flat. Unless the LHC can recreate those conditions of Hyper-Closed-Curvature, as the "backdrop" for the LHC particle collisions, then High Energy collisions in Flat space (today) != High-Energy collisions in Hyper-Curved Closed space ('Big Bang') (conveying the concept, if being a little imprecise w/ words).
ydoaPs Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Analysis of the microwave background radiation conclusively shows large scale euclidean geometry; our universe is flat. For the universe to be closed, it must have positive curvature. Edited December 11, 2010 by ydoaPs

It's our best result at the present. Edited December 11, 2010 by alpha2cen
Mr Skeptic Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 I think it's just similar energy densities. Of course it would be totally awesome to recreate the spacetime too, but that would be a bit harder than just throwing particles at each other really fast, at least I would hope so.
