Create your own UniverseIf you read the above publication from Zeeya Merali, which I read in 2006 in Popular Mechanics, you will actually be a witness to how creative theoretical scientists are.
One will think that they started off with almost nothing, got a space vacuum in a space vacuum, bubbles of nothing popped out, a cosmic string was caught, is was placed in this space bubble, and a whole new universe came into existance by scientists waiting and watching the bubble grow infinitely large from the inside, but from the outside it remained infinitely minute.
One eventually then realize that it was never done in any lab, but it was mathematical equations manipulated by theoretical physicists all over the globe, to speculate on how it should be done, but these scientists need billions of dollars to build larger accelerators.
then again on the other-hand, if it was not for mathematical calculations, we would not have had Transistors.
Or is that also a concoction in the story of science.
Well, at least Newton used maths and it proved to be correct.
Oh, wait.
He used maths to calculate the observation, not create maths to postulate on theories.
