Comment: Fails WP:GNG, requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 02:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Okay, you removed the SharePoint source, but Tegmark, M. (2003). Parallel universes does not mention this topic? Qcne (talk) 22:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The SharePoint source is to the my.strayer.edu internal SharePoint and therefore not accessible to anyone without a strayer.edu email address.The PDF source does not mention Cosmodex. Qcne (talk) 21:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
The Cosmodex Unit (CDU) is a proposed astronomical unit of distance with a value of 10^(10^115) meters. This unit is conceived as a tool for conceptualizing and discussing extremely vast distances encountered within theoretical models of an infinite universe.
Origin and Rationale[edit]
The Cosmodex Unit originates from inspiration by physicist Max Tegmark's calculations concerning distances at which an identical Hubble volume (a region of the observable universe surrounding an observer) might be found in an infinite universe model [1][2]. While speculative, this proposed unit facilitates expressing cosmic scales exceeding those typically used in astronomy.
Development[edit]
The concept of the Cosmodex Unit, and the term itself, were formalized and publicly introduced in 2024 by Jeffrey Michael Schatz in collaboration with a large language model (LLM) assistant through online discussion [3]. Its primary aim serves as a reference point for thought experiments within infinite universe and multiverse frameworks.
Applications[edit]
Facilitates communication and calculation when grappling with the potentially incomprehensible scale of infinity in cosmological contexts. Provides a vocabulary term when contemplating patterns or the possibility of repeated cosmic structures across immeasurable distances.
Notes[edit]
The Cosmodex Unit is not derived from observation or used in mainstream astronomy. The Cosmodex Unit serves a specialized niche within theoretical cosmology discussions.
