Thanks Garth - I will look forward to these fascinating results (or more correctly the results of this fascinating experiment!) Anyone else have any thoughts on the "bounce" Garth mentions?

Thanks guys When do we get the results of this probe you refer to? PS: If the Universe is spinning would there be a different rate of spin from the early universe to the present Universe? If expansion is increasing what would occur to the spinrate?

That sounds interesting - time travle is always interesting though doubtful- what say the theorists?

From a universe according to General Relativity can we ascertain if the Universe can be said to be spinning? Spinning relative to what is a tough question - I would say perhaps a rate of spin relative to the age of the Universe might give a framework if it can be agreed that say 1 second...

Thanks - that was helpful. AC

Your replies Thanks for your kind replies - sorry so late in replying was busy over Easter Sorry if the question was simplistic - I know by definiition radiation is outward - I was just wondering aloud about the equal and opposite reaction that we see in all other physics - I push something...

Forgive my naive question - I am not a scientist. Why does radiation radiate? Particle a sits there giving off radiation - ok but why? Why does the radiation move away from the source instead of simply sitting there or indeed radiating inward as opposed to out? I ask this because we see...
