I can give you an eyewitness account of a
spooky action at a distance...
Before the Big Bang
there existed trillions of stars.
But going back to that very first star
of the trillion of stars BEFORE the big bang..
just right before the very first star..
it was all BLACK.
Then, after trillions and trillions years
during all this blackness..
a light popped in.
i haven't figured out yet where that light came from.
but it was spooky...
at a distant.

there is a growing voice that fundamental physics has stalled
since the 1980s. maybe with ai we can change that.

problem is, there was no distance then, probably, for there to be

We do not know that.
But going back to that very first star

The stars that we can see today could not form before 380'000 years into the Big Bang.

Gazillions of "lights": stars. One would think that someone who calls themselves "The Starmaker" should know what a star is and how it forms. Unless, of course, as we all know and can see, they are just a crackpot/troll.
i haven't figured out yet where that light came from.
The pressure in a gas cloud that cools enough by emitting EM radiation decreases so that parts of it collapses under its own gravitation due to their mass density. When a gas is compressed, it heats up which means that the energy of its electrons increases. When they return to their lower-energy state afterwards, the extra energy is released in the form of photons: light is being emitted, and a collapsing ball of gas begins to glow (protostar or brown dwarf). Also, eventually nuclear fusion sets in, releasing more and brighter light: a star has formed, usually many stars
from the same molecular cloud at the same time.
but it was spooky...
No.
at a distant.
_distance_, and no.
problem is, there was no distance then, probably, for there to be
action. there might have been something else?
Utter nonsense.

That something was missing in that theory was already clear when, after searching for it since ca. 1850, again no planet Vulcan (sic) was found to explain Mercury's perihelion precession in the Crocker Expeditions of 1901, 1905, and 1908.

Because for various reasons the percentage of people who have no clue about science has been growing (as we can also see here), not because there is anything wrong with the science.
maybe with ai we can change that.
Replacing untrained idiots by trained idiots? I doubt it.

Of course not.
Theoretical physics is not language-based.
So large language models are irrelevant.
They can ony regurgitate language of the past.
Compounding talk about non-solutions cannot give the solution,

'PointedEars' doesn't know the answer so it either

Okay, I know where the first light came from...
i was wondering since there is only one universe..
where did the light popped in from? It couldn't have been
outside of the universe since there is only one universe...
it came from within the universe!
In all that Black...something in the Black...maybe waves of Black
set off the first light!
Like striking a match.
Whoosh.
What came first the fire or the match?
