Questionable Source[edit]

Hi, I don't know the appropriate syntax for noting this directly on the page, but the URL used citation #24 is not very reputable: http://www.rinf.com/news/dec05/string.html There also does not seem to be another source given in the page that can confirm the Murray Gell-Mann elevator episode.

"Leonardo Susskind"[edit]

For now I've removed "Leonardo Susskind" referenced from around 6 minutes into [1] per WP:RS and a lack of corraboration; for all I know it may be true, but it also may be a weird in-joke, and I can't find any corraboration. If we find a cite where Susskind himself claims on the record that his birthname is "Leonardo", we should add it in. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 04:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Leonard Susskind has a response to the pointsized Universal future horizon, add it here[edit]

Leonard Susskind claims that the visible Universe is a static sphere. That's wrong. Initially it grows (because more information reaches us) and finally it becomes infinite causally fragmented points and - we iff we were particles - we would be one point Universe causally disconnected (but Big Bang will be caused earlier than that point horizon due to a phase transition in the Higgs field).

Leonard Susskind has an answer to those who claim that the increasing acceleration of the universal expansion will cause the visible Universe to be a point. He has an answer. Add it please. It's absolutely important and crucial to what he's doing!

correction: (the increasing spatial acceleration always creates at last a "pointsized visible Universe" - Susskind has an analytical mechanism which avoids that fragmentation, because the Higgs field explodes before the point-sized causal disconnection
