Now I'm even more confused. The article talking about the redshifts basically implies that galaxies are 3.1 million light years away from us in every direction, then 6.2 million light years away then 9.3 etc. Basically putting us in the middle of many rings of galaxies, ever increasing in size...
Odd, I was under the impression that we could determine the distance galaxies are away from us with a fair bit of accuracy. Enough that this would be easy to prove or disprove this concept.
My creationist grandpa says that we are at the center of the universe and that other galaxies are in spherical shells around us and claim that this means we are in a special place in the universe.
Basically he believes in the "quantized redshifts" thing you may or may not have heard of, which...
Perhaps but to form a star you need, I thought I remembered 18,000,000 degrees of heat? I may be wrong, but isn't it really hot? That's a lot of pressure. I am going to have to see all the math behind it, I don't know of any video of article or of any other resource that addresses this, at least...
Forget my earlier explanation, let me do better. If you take a gas and reduce the distance between every molecule by half, then the volume goes down to 1/8 of the original volume, so 8 times the pressure, but the gravitation force is multiplied by 4. So how does the gas continue to collapse?
Specifically how did the stars collapse into themselves. If gravity varies by the distance squared and gas pressure varies by the volume cubed, how could a cloud of hydrogen, or any gas for that matter, collapse into itself? Not to mention the fact that the heat increases which would also...
