Yes, I have said before that I realize there are no actual rings, and that we are just using the rings for our own visual context. I get that the universe is just one entity that is growing. I am one person that is growing. But you can look at pictures of me when I was 10 year younger, and 10...
But you can use the red shift to tell that something got further away from you. And you can tell that the red shift behind you might not be as much as the red shift in front of you. From your point of view, you are further away from the galaxy behind you, and the galaxy in front of you is...
OK..so, now here is my question. Suppose we refer back to either the balloon or raisin bread meteaphor. Let's say that we we tracking the expansion of the dots in a computer model using a graphic representing the metaphor. Let's say for argument sake that we decided that while the universe...
I am totally confused. I feel like I am in a converstion with Zathras.."He is the one! But he is not the one!"
As best as I can tell, you are saying that even before the universe as we knew it existed there was a void, but technically that void is the universe. And since the void is...
I have read that article, and it doesn't really change what I was asking. Sorry it took me a while to get to it it, I do contract work, and that keeps me moving around and busy a lot. The point is, at some point or other the universe started out as something really small, and is growing and...
I kind of have an oddball question about this. If the universe was expanding in the same amount every year, eventually the universe would be very misshapen. Because the amount of space being generated would not complete the next concentric circle of expansion. From what I have read, space...
Well, my I was trying to keep my ideas simple for now, but since you are asking, I feel like dark energy makes no sense. And I feel like there must be more to the forces we already know are present. rather than suddenly have some new force we never noticed before. The way I look at it, one of...
I am kind of an arm chair layman,
The following is just my own curious mind working furiously on something I know I don't completely understand, and yet want to.
It seems to me that just about every piece of matter is made up of mass, and therefor has some level of electromagnetic and gravitic...
Just as an aside, I found some interesting articles on Lagrangian points that sort of tie into this. About how there are 5 points at which a gravitational body can pass through two other gravitational wells without altering its trajectory.
Just my layman take on the New Moon question..but..the suns gravity is much stronger than the Earth's..but the Earth is settled at a spot that appropriate to that level of gravity for now. No matter where the moon is, technically the sun should pull into away from or into the earth.. But...
I admit, I am a layman, and a good deal of string theory, multiple dimensions and the math involved flummoxes me. But I try to simplify everything in a way that makes sense to me.
I picture time as something other than a dimension. And to me the 4th dimension is a bridging direction into...
