Imagine a huge printing plant exploding. Then imagine that as a result of the explosion a huge dictionary is found with all the words of the world and in all the different languages of the world in perfect alphabetical order. How would this creation be explained by scientists?
Perhaps they would explain the same way they explain the origin of the universe and life. Our universe appears to be unfathomably uniform. Look across space from one edge of the visible universe to the other, and you’ll see that the microwave background radiation filling the cosmos is at the same temperature everywhere. That may not seem surprising until you consider that the two edges are nearly 28 billion light years apart and our universe is only 14 billion years old.
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so there is no way heat radiation could have travelled between the two horizons to even out the hot and cold spots created in the big bang and leave the thermal equilibrium we see now. So it’s impossible to understand and explain.
This problem is a big headache for cosmologists, so big that they have come up with some pretty wild solutions to replace the “big bang” theory, which was promulgated as scientific proof. “Inflation”, is one example to replace the big bang theory.
You can solve the horizon problem by having the universe expand ultra-fast for a time, just after the big bang, blowing up by a factor of 1050 in 10-33 seconds. “Inflation would be an explanation if it occurred,” says University of Cambridge astronomer Martin Rees. The trouble is that no one knows what could have made that happen. So, in effect; inflation solves one mystery only to invoke another.
As you can see the problem of an explosion producing a dictionary is much simpler to explain then the origin of the universe and life. The next time a scientist tries to explain the origin of life and the universe to you, ask the scientist to explain the “dictionary” problem first.
