I just saw that. In a very unscientific way at lunch with the girls, I said, with the big bang, how do we know which way to send the telescopes to watch the universe expanding away from us? Won't some of the universe be expanding toward us? I know, I am such a girlie girl.
The Big Bang, along with evolution and a number of other things, are just ways for some to substitute one religion for another. The "atheists" try to find a way around a Divine Being despite a lot of evidence to the contrary, which they want to ignore and make the whole thing Human Centered, just as the Church tried to do centuries ago, but this timer it is the anti-church people doing it. I'm glad to see that they themselves have demonstrated a flaw in their logic.
That Webb telescope will certainly get us thinking. Gives us new frontiers to pay attention to. Wish it could take our minds off of some of the negativity around.
There’s a fascinating talk about cosmology and origins of the universe. I’ve watched it several times. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, you can skip to the 9 minute to see his simple illustration about how the universe is expanding away from us in all directions. If you can find the time, it really is awe inspiring. There’s one point where the audience just kind of goes dead silent upon realizing what he’s saying.
I can't demonstrate any new thing, BUT it seems to me that since entire galaxies are moving away from us, they had to start from somewhere AND something had to cause the start of their journey. The Big Bang ? My personal theory is that gravitational forces eventually cause all matter to come together. If so, that could cause a massive nuclear explosion. This, in my opinion happens over and over and over again.
If everything is moving away from us, doesn't that imply that we are the center of the universe? It's a rather arrogant thought. As @Mary Stetler said, certainly things should mo moving towards us aw well as away. Or if everything is moving at the same speed, then relatively speaking everything is stationary.
I'm still wondering if that chicken came before the egg. I guess at some point it was all started as a dinosaur, that is well known and possibly the answer to the chicken and egg question. Maybe the chicken first started at the very end of the evolution period dinosaur to birds and the rest is history.
No way do I think of earth as the center of the universe. Think of an explosion. Things fly in all directions, yes? No matter which piece you look at, everything is flying AWAY from it.
Things are only moving away form the source of the explosion. That is one of the flaws in the Big Bang Theory. There should be things flying along side us as well as a vector away from us, but that does not seem to be what is occurring. I don't think we are the center of the universe, but I have doubts about the big bang theory as well.
I watched a majority of the video and I kinda went dead too at a couple of points because my brain was going…..huh? No form of maths can have a minus or plus zero: It’s simply 0 or rather, nothing. What we commonly call the vacuum of space is not an absolute vacuum where there are no particulates of any form (nothing) and no value of any kind can be derived from an absolute vacuum except…0. To me, he’s finding a positive quantitative value in 0 which is about the only thing that blows my mind because it can’t be done. Kinda like the old story about the devil saying that he too could make a person from dirt to which God said, sure but the catch is that you have to bring your own dirt.
