The Slow Freeze Theory

Concept

About

The Slow Freeze Theory, proposed by Christof Wetterich, presents an alternative cosmological model to the traditional Big Bang theory. It suggests that the universe has always existed and is characterized by a slow, cold evolution. This theory avoids the concept of a singularity, where physical laws break down, by allowing particle masses to change over time. Instead of a hot, dense beginning, the universe emerges from a sparse and cold state, potentially avoiding the need for a Big Bang singularity. This model provides a more natural picture of cosmic evolution by eliminating the necessity for all matter to originate from a single point. It suggests that time before inflation could stretch infinitely into the past, offering a different perspective on the universe's origins. The Slow Freeze Theory is consistent with known observations and offers a novel approach to understanding the universe's evolution without a clear beginning or end. It aligns with quantum mechanics and general relativity, providing a framework for understanding the universe's gradual changes over time.
