Does this mean if I had a rubber band and weighed it, then stretched and weighed it while being stretched out, that it would weigh more at that time? Since at that time it has stored energy, which equates to mass?

I'm not asking about the laws of physics or if they are different elsewhere. I'm asking about the expanding universe and big bang theory. I think I will have difficulty finding an answer from someone who cannot understand the question being asked. More likely, I think your personal vendetta...

Keep this in mind, it does in deed make a difference!

I don't understand though, how can it apply to the rest of the universe if we can't see it? Can you explain what you mean by this?

The only way to be sure is to devise an experiment, I didn't see any of the other posters citing a reference to their answers so would consider them more of a personal opinion at this point. But that is just me, perhaps they will cite reference(s) after reading my post (idk). I would...

Well the universe is everything, the known universe is only what we can see. I hope this clears things up.

I've always been curious about about the big bang because (from what I've read) it's a point we're not able predict before. Is there a possibility that our view of an expanding universe just means we can't see beyond the big bang? Or is there a reason that is ruled out and that everything...

That seems like a strange rule for the forum to have, why is that the rule?

Yes, I was asking what you think is the explanation behind dark matter? Do you have a theory to offer or explore?

Most people come up with their own internal reasoning for things like this that have not been explained. I was curious on the community's various opinions and theories on this subject. I think it would be a fun exercise to help each other evolve our own theories on things like this. Standard...

Why would he fall faster when he gets to the outer core? I have 2 reasons for thinking otherwise if anyone could explain how this works a little better. 1. The Earth above him at this point would pull on him, slowing him down I would think 2. At the surface, their is more mass below him. I...

Oh, no lol.. Just that leaving things out can lead to compromised results. But I can see why this is not mentioned when discussing the subject, I see how it would be more or less irrelevant. And I checked, you're right. I had the Clair Patterson link on the "Estimate of the Earth's age"...

I agree.

Well you're trying to act like I thought 70 years out of 4.54 billion was significant when really I didn't even know 70 was the figure I was comparing, this was the number I was trying to determine. To me my question looked like "x" years out of 4.54 billion. Of course 70 makes no difference...

Well thanks for trying to help I guess, I've already gotten the answers I need from this thread several posts ago. Actually I provided 3 post and that was one of them.
