the big rip theory suggests gravity will weaken due to acceleration. presumably the other forces as well.

in an expanding universe is all matter cooling? also, is has gravity become weaker over large distances? does isotrophy apply to the natural forces?

does a phenomena such as lightning happen in the vacuum of space? it's often talks about in sci fi, but i wonder if it actually occurs (theoretically or actually) i tried a google search which turned up nothing.

Rafael Bombelli first used them and at the time they were thought to be useless. with other discplines (notably physics) finding a use for 'imaginary' numbers, why wasn't it's use curtailed? afterall if I was paid to fill a room with a 1000 people and could only manage 500. would i be within my...

I agree xezlec. But another way of looking at it (at least I hope it's another way) is that what force is acting on the singularity for it to create the big bang. with the current theory being the initial big bang singularity had reached a a point of infinite density and ran out of options...

I knew of this phenomena prior to , though prior to an e-mail amazon sent me I was unaware of what physicists called it. I have a question regarding the proton demonstration in this clip. Is it possible the electroweak force is acting on the 'tunneling' proton? If, as the commentator is...
