It is possible that the universe did not begin its history with a great explosion, as the well-known Big Bang theory suggests, but was formed from a handful of liquid that froze to form ice , as a team of theoretical physicists has just proposed. from the University of Melbourne (Australia).
"Imagine a liquid primitive universe," explains James Quach, co-author of a paper published in the journal Physical Review D. "As the universe cooled, the material crystallized into three space dimensions and one time dimension, just as it is now and as Einstein described it." From this point of view, he adds, " as the universe has evolved, cracks and fissures have arisen , similar to those that form when water freezes into ice and it cracks." If these cracks exist, they could be detected when light and other particles curved or reflected as they passed through them, so that physicists could check whether the theory is true.
