These all prove that Jeebus Cripes exists and his dad made the whole world and he hates gays, muslims, commies and europeans. Amen. |

Eistein's theory of Relativity does seem flawed in that it says that space can bend...correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't space a vacuum, or in other words, a literal "0"?It would make sense why starlight deviations can never be calculated accurately with the equation. |

If you are...The problem I'm having is that you're reading someone else's comments and thinking I said them, I never mentioned balloons. I'm a batpoo crazy young Earth creationist, remember? The whole Big Bang thing is one big joke to me. |

@ almightybob1Thank you!!! I have a friend who's still waiting on me to explain the 'truth' behind "facts, and theory's " Sometimes.. there is no use..let people believe, or not believe the nonsensical. |

I'm surprised gravity isn't on that list. For as much as we know we cannot even seem to categorize it into something outside a theory.
/facepalm
When will people learn that the word "theory" has a different meaning in science? |

Lionhart2 check out:http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20... the problem that I have with the balloon metaphor is that you are using a 2 dimensional object in 3-D space to describe an action which occurs in 4+ dimensions. If you are happy with those thoughts then yes, the balloon metaphor makes sense. if you are not happy thinking about things like that then it looks like the dots on the balloon are moving radially from a point in 3-D space, which looks like how an explosion in space would look. Teleportation gets us away from the the idea that things are moving through space, and back towards - something really funky is going on if inflation was symmetrical (if the Copernican hypothesis is true) then from our frame of reference velocities would be unaltered and so we'd continue to see horses' arses wherever we looked |

I was expecting something more along the lines of:- How humans still exist.
- How society can even exist.
- Why people buy crap and don't realize it doesn't do anything. |

The expansion that is believed to have occurred worked not by giving speed to the particles that existed but by stretching the space between them, it is more like teleporting than accelerating
=============================================
Right idea, terrible analogy.It's like drawing little dots on the outside of an uninflated balloon and then blowing up the balloon. In this case, the 3D universe is on the surface of the balloon. Galaxies and planets on the surface of our balloon spread out. You can't point to any one spot and say, 'There! That's the center of the universe (remember only the skin, not the inside of the balloon, is our universe)'. It's not that the physics that existed at the start of the universe was different to the physics we know now, it's just the physics that we're used to. It's argued as both the high energy state and the way the numbers baloon around the 0-time asymptote. In fact, the entire point of Hawking's 'No Boundaries' proposal is |

Well, I WOULD read a bit more about it but I figure anyone who (a) can't spell my name right when its right in front of him and (b) wants me to accept that Teleportation is science fact, maybe I'll just skip the reading bit and back slowly away, keeping my hands in plain sight and uttering reassuring sounds.
Win! You amaze me. |

Actually, Big Bang Theory does not introduce any new ideas that conventional physics cannot describe, given some basic assumptions. The first, which you are referring to, is the attempt of our own physics to explain spacetime's expansion through...um....exactly. We have no idea what the eff is OUTSIDE of spacetime, what the fabric itself is accelerating through. Is spacetime its own dimension? It raises all sorts of interesting questions. The fact that the Big Bang doesn't follow things like, say, the Second Law, is only the most trivial of the questions that give rise when attempting to explain the universe. Hooray the ignorance of modern science! :- ) Gah I love my job. |
