  6. 3. Professor Guth's theory is that when the the universe began there was a reverse gravitational effect that repeled everything from it he called this false vaacum. He says that at the time of the big bang the false vaacum started to decay and create particles like the ones that created our universe. another theory is the multiverse theory . an other theory is the blackhole cosmology theory that the visible universe is in a blackhole in a larger universe

    Even though the theory is correct, it is impossible to prove the existence of parallel universe because no one can get there and back with evidence!

  13. Be very careful everyone HOW you answer. Do not copy but also make sure if you do change into your own words that it makes sense.
