I’ve never been one to believe everything I’m told.
When it comes to science, I think that many people only see half of the story. Take the science of physic’s for example…Many physicists think that the laws of physics are the same throughout the known universe.
I never have and never will.
When someone mentions physic’s, I usually add “You mean ‘Earth’-physics?” to their muttering. Like them, many scientists have their heads buried in the sand once they hear an idea and say it is “fact” because it makes sense to the majority.
::aside:: hmmm… maybe this is why I felt that school was ‘stupid’ when growing up and failed every year of high school? ::/aside::
During school, I had questioned many scientific theories, but never had the guts to debate them with my teachers. Sure, many theories/laws that concern the Earth are accurate, but I feel that many that concern matters outside our world are not.
For example…. traveling at the speed of light (light speed). Scientists say there is nothing faster, I disagree. They just can’t measure anything faster because their ideas are prevented from going outside-the-box of the human brain. In addition, many books and people will tell you that “If you look at a clock and move away from it at the speed of light, the clock will stop…”
Bull-poopie.
“Time” is a human invention. What it measures is constant at any speed or place. Regarding my previous example: I could care less about the clock stopping… I would be more impressed by how you could still SEE that clock from nearly 186,000 miles away in that first second. Scientists are merely playing on what an observer would see “IF” it happened… yadda yadda dribble.
Anyhoo, I just had to rant and post this so that I didn’t forget an explanation behind the “Big Bang” theory that many scientists are stating as a fact.
Yes, astronomers have proof that galaxies are moving away from a central location… but to assume that everything in this universe started out from a little ball of energy? That’s a bit much.
Funny how science is. They will laugh in the face of a person trying to prove that teleportation is possible, but tell them everything started out as a little ball that burst… and they’re scratching their heads and nodding in agreement.
I have never heard any other stories or arguments against that theory, so here is mine:
The reason why the Universe is expanding from a single point is because THAT is the “exit point” of the Black Hole we came through.
Some Theoretical Physicists, such as Hawking & Kaku, think that there is a possibility that there are universes outside of our own. Black Holes have been discovered, but what happens to the matter sucked into them? Some think that they go through a worm-hole of sorts to another part of the Universe… or possibly to different Universe altogether. I think the latter is what happened in our case.
I find it easier to put my reasoning behind the “ass-end of a Black Hole” than into the “Big Bang”. This could even explain a lot of what the Big-Bangers are thinking too… from an observers standpoint, it would have seemed that the Universe started out as a single point and burst into being. They just didn’t realize that it was just being shat out of a Black Hole.

oh well…. that’s your topic for the coffee house this week. Discuss.
