Hi Chronos. Thanks again for your patience and an honest attempt to answer me. (no capitals of frustration)
Mathman (Gold Member) say the universe is expanding. 'due to expansion of the universe"
So if you play the tape back, the observable universe to us, would contract all the way back to our...
Hi Dave. That must mean. If you rewind the tape.The universe does not contract to a "single" point of infinite mass etc from whence it came "you were told that the singularity DOESNT reference a single point". I can live with that but you can't have it both ways. I'm not searching for the centre...
"Only because you haven't studied the stuff yet."
True, but I know a contradiction when I see one.
"Galactic clusters and larger objects recede from each other."
If they recede from "each" other then they can collide. Study that!
Hi Gold Member. Thanks for giving an explanation.
I will...
It hasn't been explain its been stated. In the sub atomic things don't make sense, ok. But on the large scale if it don't make sense then you must resolve the contradiction. Dont take offence but your words "we don't know what is going on" seem to apply.
True but they are moving away from each other at tremendous speeds. Moving away and colliding at the same time creates a problem for me. The mode has problems. No?
Thanks for the replies. I shall look up the link. So this means (the universe has no centre) that if we rewind the video it would not contract to a singularity?
Hi
I have two novice question
If the universe is expanding and it is all moving apart, how is it that galaxies are colliding?
If our galaxy and all others are moving away from some singularity central point. And as we see other galaxies moving away from us at a speed relative to there distance...
