(Or do both) Universe - The Cosmology Quest: Part One Universe - The Cosmology Quest: Part Two So my question to everyone, do you believe that the Big Bang occurred?
it may have happened, but i believe something had to create it. to think that it had to be a person is more limiting than i think the ultimate truth is, whatever that may be. maybe it was some thing, like a random chemical malformation, or a thought, that produced the change necessary for the big bang to happen. i jus' don'no.
If the big bang happened. What if it never happened? Has the universe just always been? Has it no beginning and no end? And if not, how did it come to be if not by the big bang?
Many in the scientific community would agree that the universe appears to be expanding. The theory I follow is the big bang. Energy from the big bang is what is still forcing the universe to expand. At some point that energy may dissipate, and then the universe may begin to contract back on itself. The big bang theory states that somewhere between 8 and 10 billion years ago the universe existed as an infinitely dense, infinitely hot, sphere that contained all matter in the universe. This sphere exploded and began expanding into what we now know as our current universe. Matter cannot be created nor can it be destroyed. We can only change the arrangement of its atoms, or its other sub-atomic particles. The evidence that suggests a big bang occurred, far out weighs any other evidence that supports alternate theories.
If you watch the videos, they explain why this is no so. How they've observed dozens of quasars exiting galaxies with huge discrepancy in red shift readings. This means that the red shift, the Doppler effect, the reason why we think everything is moving away from each other is not entirely (if at all) based on distance. This means that there is no reason for us to think that the galaxy is expanding. Meaning that there was never a singular continuity which would have been the big bang. I find this very plausible, because in one branch of string theory, one much accept that the big bang occurred due to the presences of an initial observer - a creator being of some incomprehensible form. Though, in the thinking that the universe is NOT expanding, and these quasars are the product of self-replication, and that the universe is indeed a static object like Einstein had originally proposed (the universal constant), then there is no need for a creator. The consequences are astounding... matter in our universe is self-replicating, akin to a living organism. Galaxies give birth and spawn children, composed of energy and swirling matter. And here we are sitting on a speck of it, possible a very small, very insignificant form of life in the universe. We are simply the virus in a cell, in a creature far larger than ourselves. Haaaah! I love sativa.
The Big Bang theory makes no sense to me. Take a bottle of ink for example, when you throw it at a wall it will explode which effectively leaves a big ink stain. If you look at the mark you see that it is more dense in the center and gradually the further you look away from the center it becomes less dense. If an explosion in fact did happen, wouldn't the universe be similar to the ink blot, instead of being a steady array of what the universe is compiled of? There is no center in the universe, therefore that theory, to me, is a load of crap.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_universe Wikipedia needs correcting (as do most people) in relation to the letter c in Al's work. The "speed" of light is 186000 miles per second. Einstein's "Universal Constant" is the ratio of time to distance (4 dimensional space), or 186000 miles per second. A ratio is not a speed, but both are expressed as fractions. If one second is a distance of 186000 miles, and this was 8-10 billion years ago, anyone want to do the math as to how far away we are talking about? We aren't turning around just because you forgot something!
Its actually 186000 Kilometers per second, 297600 miles per second. Just thought Id make that point if anyone is interested in doing the math correctly (If yur not too stoned to do so, lol).
what is your rate for changing money? Is a kilometer longer than a mile? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light
Oh shit, sorry bout that, yur right. Got it backwards. Ive had a few drinks right now, not really thinkin strait, lol.
well obviously you must be too stoned because there is about 1.7 kilometers per mile, so therefore the rate of kilometers is higher than the rate of miles.
1.6 kilometers in a mile. Another question with the Big Bang. A black hole has such a strong pull that not even light can escape it, right? What makes a black hole behave like this? Gravity, and why does it have so much gravity? Mass... So when the Big Bang banged and all matter that was possible in the Universe was present in this little ball, why did it not just pull itself back together? I imagine it would be a little stronger that any black hole we can think of. How could the explosion be strong enough to blow out all matter in existence faster than the speed of light?
Thanks for the videos, I always love watching stuff about this topic. NOVA always has some really good documentaries on it too. I haven't watched the videos as of yet, I bookmarked them for later. But I voted not sure, because the whole idea of a singularity doesn't settle well with me.
