1. Why was the early universe so hot?
2. Why is the universe so uniform on a large scale- Why does it look the same at all point of space and in all directions?
3. Why did the universe start out with so nearly the critical rate of expansion to just avoid collapse?If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the universe would have re-collapsed before it ever reached its present size. On the other hand , if the expansion rate had been larger by the same amount , the universe would have expanded so much that it would be effectively empty now.
4. Despite the fact that universe is so uniform and homogeneous on a large scale, it contains local lumps such as stars and galaxies. These are thought to have developed from small difference in density of the early universe from one region to another.What was the origin of these density fluctuations?"
-The Theory of Everything,Stephen Hawking
The questions may focus towards the assumption that the universe is a part of infinite number of experiments.
These experiments may have several objectives including :
1.The construction of a perfect universe to support the
2. formation of Galaxies and stars at their judicious position in space leading to the
3. designing of environment for the support of life and again to
4. achieve eternity of the model.
The initial models may have their temperatures either lower or higher than the present model.Which would have not been suitable for the grand design.If the temperature was more than what is now, it would have lead to the expansion of the universe at a larger exponential manner that might have resulted in the irregular flow of temperature in every direction,contrasting the fact that microwave background has the same temperature in every direction we look. In similar way if the temperature was lower the initial rate of expansion could not be precisely adjusted for the universe not to have collapsed before now.
For the positioning of galaxies and stars along with other heavenly bodies in space special attention would have been needed for not disrupting the model due to the gravitational attraction among the bodies.This would have led to their present positioning like local lumps by the adjustment of density in the experimental procedure.
In order to design the life support, there might have been many attempts to develop the essential prerequisite in the different regions of space visible and beyond. There would have been a number of possibilities to have developed such regions like the one of which we are part of, but in the attempt for development of intelligent life the result might have been similar to what we can relate to the dinosaurs. Taking into account the selection principle that we live in a region of the universe that is suitable for intelligent life.This fairly obvious and elementary consideration is sometimes called the anthropic principle.Achievements would have been gained in the different regions of space where the intelligence of life would either be more or less than the knowledge of the known.
The experiment would also carry the objective to sustain the existence of the required intelligence when attained by the involved species. This also leads towards the idea that the required intelligence is not attained by any of the kind in any region of space. If it would have been attained by now then either the human race would have been wiped out of existence or would have been directed towards immortality.
