Cosmological Surrealism: More than ``Eternal Reality" is Needed

TL;DR

This paper discusses the limitations of classical General Relativity in explaining the origin of our universe within an inflationary cosmology framework, suggesting the need for a broader conceptualization of reality.

Contribution

It proposes that our understanding of spacetime must be expanded beyond traditional GR to account for universe creation scenarios.

Findings

Classical GR cannot fully describe universe creation processes.

Inflationary cosmology implies a multiverse with recurrent universe creation.

A new conceptual framework is needed for understanding cosmic origins.

Abstract

Inflationary Cosmology makes the universe ``eternal" and provides for recurrent universe creation, ad infinitum -- making it also plausible to assume that ``our" Big Bang was also preceeded by others, etc.. However, GR tells us that in the ``parent" universe's reference frame, the newborn universe's expansion will never start. Our picture of ``reality" in spacetime has to be enlarged.
