Thanks, i did read that paper. And understood parts of it other parts were way over my head. I do understand that some things which we might consider unlikely are completely expected. Like the initials 'sh' Stephen Hawking showing up aligned etc.
But reading that paper the conclusion does state...
What are the implications?
The data from wmap showing that alignment on the elliptic plane has concerned me, and I never seem to get a good explanation for it.
Could you give a brief explanation of a theory that explains it or direct me to source which can preferably put it in simpler...
Doesn't nothing = something
What is nothing defined as, usually infinite density with finite mass? Time was zero
But also another problem arises, and that is for a singularity to exist other than it must exist. That other is empty space (not space-time as we know it). And this is what the...
If you want to prove you'll have to find a better explanation for CMB and redshift objects quasars. Maybe if you said we are at the centre of the universe it might solve a few problems. Apparently some data from CMB suggests that. And the highbredshift objects would just mean they are moving...
I'm finding a lot of confusion in this thread.
Firstly I thought "nothing" meant an infinite density zero mass zero volume, nil time
Secondly the quantum fluctuations I thought occurred in empty space, nothing, but then zero mass is something? Also another thought is shouldn't the quantum...
Thanks sounds interesting, I'll give it a try. I've always wanted to play with one of those computer simulation things using different variables, perhaps evenvchanging some of the constants (like c) to see how it would make different universes.
Thanks for that information. I was just throwing a few ideas out there so that you could answer them and clarify as you did.
Ive not seen all the conflicting data, but it appears from what you've said that those quasars must be behind the galaxies. There being so many of these formations in...
To find out how near or far the quasars are, is it not possible to do some calculations based on gravitational lending, using objects directly behind the objects of view. I've seen some rare pictures of quasars gravitational lending galaxies behind them. The other way round is far more common...
What if the solar system is the centre of the universe? I watched a YouTube video of Lawrence krauss lecture about a 'universe from nothing'.
It made me think, what if the expansion and accelaration is only observable to us and not any other point in the universe. I know this is against the...
Isn't there some data frm the CMB that shows there is some alignment to the solar plane or elliptic alignment?
See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copernican_principle#Ecliptic_alignment_of_cosmic_microwave_background_anisotropy
Or is this another issue?
Thanks for those answers. They also made me think of another question. Why do atoms and those sub atomic particles get theIr energy from, why are electrons coupled with a nucleus. What keeps them their.
I think the answer will be something about weak force, strong force and maybe...
What makes the speed of light a constant. I read the FAQ on special relativity but still don't understand why c (speed of light) exists as a constant.
It's like a rule like many others, why do they exist? Is there a part of space-time that limits this speed. Why are all the photons that ever...
Whats is the explanation for the reason we have local groups of galaxy clusters? How did these groups form if the expansion force is too weak to counter gravity at that level? If these groups or clumps were closer together at some point wouldn't it have been more difficult then to make them...
