Watch Stephen Hawking's Grand Design. There was one where he talks about the relationship of time and the Big Bang, but also answers your question with logic that it came from literally nothing. Personally I lean towards the M-theory but it was something great to think about.
So I checked it out and found it on Starry Night. Although next to the sun, this is the brightest at an impressive -8.23 magnitude!
This is how close it will be to eclipsing the sun! That would have been incredible, but if its accurate, I bet you could still see it clearly behind a solar...
I didnt know matter was required for time to pass. I would think if you were sitting in a 99% materless universe, you could still see your watch tick. I would think time still passes, maybe even faster than now because the more massive an object is, the slower time becomes. So, maybe its...
Thanks guys and that a great link with a great explanation. I am good at guessing haha, but I would not have guessed that the greater cooling from evaporation than conduction of heat kept it frozen.
^ that's a cool fact.
Thanks but I don't think the question is quite answered. How does it still snow well above freezing as I witnessed all that day? Maybe a warm air mass at ground level that is small enough to not melt the snow in time before hitting the ground? I am guessing at this point...
In short, it usually happens when hot moist air gets trapped under cold dry air when the 2 fronts meet ie a summer thunderstorm. Rain water rises to altitudes where it freezes. They clump together and updrafts keep the the clumps in these altitudes. The size of the hail depends on how strong the...
I live in the DC metro area and we recently had snow that lasted all day (none stuck to the roads, booo). But I didnt understand that it was still snowing at well above freezing. I have a digital thermometer outside of my window and it read ~41 degrees F at its highest and never dropped below 32...
They also take separate pictures of normal, infrared, ultraviolet, xray, and radio. Then all the pictures are combined on top of each other to make extraordinary colorful pictures to make it more dramatic.
great explanations. So we can't see passed the wall of fire because we are moving away from it at about 3 times c (as you said), and it will never reach us because we are moving faster than it can travel? I need to read why that doesn't break the speed of light law...
I would assume that BH bend space time much more than Neutron stars as well for the significant increase in gravitation. Something like a black hole will suck in light is it gets close enough while something way less massive like the sun merely bends it slightly. Look up gravataional lensing to...
