Big Bang Theory Question.

hardly. always time for a laugh.

Did you not just say there's no room for debate in the OTF? If anything, that's the place for jokes.

The Big Bang theory revolves around E=MC2, i.e. if you compress energy enough then it will become matter. How can the universe stop expanding when there is no friction to stop it?

hmm, if i believed there was an invisible dragon in my room . . .

imo, that would be a 'flawed' belief. you may argue that from MY perspective the belief isn't flawed, but that wouldn't make it any less flawed to an outside observer.

i'm not sure you mean to say that ALL beliefs are 'flawless', (my apologies if it's an inappropriate generalization) but that's sort of what it sounds like you're getting at.

Gravity, not friction, effects the expansion of the universe.

Gravity acts as friction, and there isn't enough mass and therefore Gravity to prevent the continuing expansion. Which means in a google years time, when the last Blackhole stops spitting out radiation (See Steven Hawking) everything will revert to absolute zero.

That's entirely false. If nothingness existed before the big bang, and time didn't exist, time couldn't pass. If time couldn't pass, nothingness couldn't have and the big bang wouldn't have happened at all.

Just because the concept of measuring time didn't exist, doesn't mean time didn't.

The concept of measured time is the most flawed idea ever, because a human mind simply decided how we perceive time, we have no basis on how accurate it is.

Its isn't accurate according to the quantum universe, but necessary for our existence. The concept of entropy (I.e. what we see as time moving forward), is a consequence of cause and effect. But cause and effect doesn't really exists at the quantum level, therefore its an illusion of consciousness. Time doesn't really pass, we just think it does. 🙂

Maybe reading my post will help you realise that we both touched on the idea of illusion of time.

As it looks right now, not only will the universe not stop expanding, but it will expand at an accelerating rate. This is because 70% of the universe may be in the form of "dark energy," a dominating, cosmic repuslor force.

Sorry i couldn't really decipher what you where getting at amongst most of you're volatile ranting, no offense of course. 🙂

i prefer to call it "overly opinionated."

Which is precisely what it is, just my opinion.

case in point.....^^^^^^

try thinking of the big bang as an infinite IMplosion of a 0 dimensional{infinitely small} point as oppose to an EXplosion. finite space existing WITHIN an infinitely small point of higher dimensional space.

Yeah, I know. Mind-Boggling isn't it?

Bump for more opinion.

Nothingness is very unstable. In no time it will became something.

Do some research on the "MultiVerse" and brane theories. There is a current theory that this universe was "rubbed" into existance from two other branes. (This is of course, extremely over simplified.)

I have read it. It is interesting but a little too complicated for my liking.
