So water in liquid form under normal pressure would be a W, with the middle of the hill as liquid, to the right steam, to the left ice. So when we talk about symmetry breaking in quantum physics, something was symmetrical in the begining, then something "bumped" the "ball" to one side, and...

The third link is exactly what i was looking for, but i can't make sense out of it. Is it like the moon orbiting around the earth, and this let's you choose the size and speed of the objects? One thing i don't get and is probably the wrong question to ask, what is the space expanding into when...

Yes, anyone have any thoughts on that picture. I've been looking for an answer to that question. Would spacetime be warped to such a point that pushing on one end would bend and stretch the rod enough to prevent faster than light communication? Or would the atoms that make up it be compressed...

This book is not about how but about why. I want to use everything we know in science and fill in the blanks about things we can't possibly know. What came before the big bang? What is the purpose of life? Is there a God? Plausibility is what i want. But i agree, its about the story telling, not...

Well this is a story about our universe (what came before during and after). After the big bang the universe goes through several stages of intelligence. We are currently about halfway through the third cycle in which we are building the next intelligent creature in line to rule over the...

I understand the analogy with the Earth sitting on a rubber sheet, even though i don't like it. Sounds like using a explosion to explain the big bang, which is wrong but a good start. But i can't find anything deeper than it just "sits" and "curves" space. The way i think they are saying it is...

So let's say it resembled a huge sponge, only individual parts touching each other with empty spaces in between? Or do you mean the density of the material, as in aluminum is less dense than steel? Im amazed that The Great Attractor is massive enough to attract all those galaxies? So the best...

I don't believe gravity to be a "force" at least not like electromagnetism. I believe it to be an emergent phenomenon that's comes from spacetime itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropic_gravity Looking at it like this seems like we will never escape gravity. He has some interesting...

This is one Major question i want to address with my book. Is there a creator? Why? Why life? Why this universe? Whats the meaning of it ALL? The answer i came to was everything is a paradox based on fractal logic. Deeper than that but that's why I am writing a book. Its about time religion and...

So depending on whether gravity is a force carrier or the bending of spacetime determines if it can be part of the Grand Unification symmetry? I believe gravity is an emergent force of the fundamental laws of our universe, to me Entropic Gravity makes most sense. Spacetime bending and following...

To better understand what I am asking, maybe its better to ask in the context of why I am asking this question. I am writing a science fiction book in which a species exists that is so powerful they start "collecting" all the matter in the universe and bringing it to one place to build a...

But if it didnt collapse under its own gravity...it couldn't effect other galaxies?

At what point? Could there be a way to manipulate the size vs the mass to overcome the effects of collapsing on its own gravity?

Ya, Bigger that the speed of light was a bad choice of words. What i mean is just an object so massively big that it takes light hundreds if not thousands of years for light to travel across its surface...a galactic deathstar lol. Could an object that big have effects on other galaxies to the...
