Or rather than an expanding universe or shrinking matter, what're y'alls thoughts about "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd-QqKmVyfU"" or "accelerated particle expansion." At 1:16 is where this concept is mentioned and looses me; this seems counter-intuitive to observations. It seems "shrinking...

I was looking for an explanation more along the lines of principles and laws, not "beliefs" and "predictions." However, I do believe I've sorted it out. Astronomical Mirages exist as does Gravitational Lensing. And to determine which of the two is causing the distortion of a distant object...

Can gravitational lensing also be explained by the refraction of light from a more distant object through a gradient of radiant heat and dense cool space? Same difference? Or completely separate and unrelated? If unrelated, how can this optical phenomenon be determined as a result of...

In spirit of your 'fractal scale' reference, there are some recent studies that somewhat support this. This is just an entertaining thought experiment, so here goes. Whether or not she's on the forefront of these studies, Janna Levin keeps popping up on most studies / papers I'm finding in...

Click! There we have it; now I get it. That's the clarification that I've been craving. Thx for your time. I'm going to go and find something else for my entire life to be about now. :wink: < I think I'll have Italian Dressing with my salad today. >

Here is an 8-page paper that flys in the face of this statement ::: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0907/0907.5195v2.pdf" And another paper by a team of physicists studying http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0907/0907.0671v2.pdf" in which is shown an exception to these pseudo-spiral...

Okay. Alright. <ahem> It seems as though I'm missing the mark in both instances. Hmmm ... check...

Why, oh why, must I defend the results of accredited peoples?! I'm going to play the Quantumn Mechanics card to save this discussion ::: "No hair" theorem is accurate for General Relativity but breaks down on the quantumn level, which is where singularities theoretically thrive. So unless...

Was re-reading 'A Brief History of Time' the other night and came across this ::: "Two black holes collide to create an event horizon greater than the sum of the areas of the originals." There are no attempts to explain this phenomenon throughout the reading; though I believe there may be an...

Hopefully I'm not outta line here (first post on any forum ... ever), but I feel the Balloon Analogy is a flawed model of the universe as it's based on the assumption of an expanding universe. Please be gentle with the flaming, as I'm at a loss for where to go or what to do with my recent...
