    David Bohm's holographic paradigm of the cosmos

    Sounds interesting, but I wouldn't take it too seriously, Bohm was easily fooled it seems: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2843/is_4_24/ai_63693002/pg_5"

    Diminishing Results in Cosmology: Public Interest Fading?

    Wolram. It seems every now and then you post something negative about the state of cosmology. It’s getting a little tiring, especially when your conclusions don’t appear to be very sound. How about looking at it from another perspective, and seeing that it’s not speculative theories, lack of...

    Start from Nothing: An Exploration of Pre BB Thinking

    If the universe is eternal, the notion of a God seems superfluous.

    Why Invest Billions in LIGO if We're Certain About Gravity Waves?

    Yes, I agree. I was merely suggesting that we appear to be on the right track.

    Why Invest Billions in LIGO if We're Certain About Gravity Waves?

    And why should they? There is already indirect evidence that gravity waves do exist.

    Could I Have Seen the Horsehead?

    What you describe sounds exactly like the orion nebula. To be able to see the actual horsehead, you need a Hydrogen-Alpha filter, it's not visible to the eye. Although some amature astronomers have said they were able to see it under dark sky conditions, I personally haven't been able to see...

    Why Invest Billions in LIGO if We're Certain About Gravity Waves?

    I give LIGO much better odds of detection in the next decade than SETI.

    Why Is My Zhumell Dobsonian's Laser Collimator Missing the Secondary Mirror?

    looks to me like you just need to adjust the primary mirror.

    We are in a Schwarzschild black hole-T or F?

    I chose no, because the dynamics of a BH horizon and the cosmological event horizon seem to behave very differently. But then again I could be wrong.

    Can Andromeda Detect Earth's Past with a Giant Telescope?

    I was thinking that using something like the 'Lucky' camera would also help lessen the effects of atmospheric distortion. But still, aren't we talking about a telescope with an aperture of 100's of light years to see this kind of detail? Seems to be stretching the known laws of physics a bit...

    Universe or Multiverse? (new w/cosmic natural selection chapter)

    For those interested you can listen to a short 15 minute discussion about the Universe/Multiverse debate http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/thematerialworld_20070531.shtml" with Martin Rees, Neil Turok and Bernard Carr.

    What effects do the collision of galaxies have on the solar system?

    I should of been a bit clearer when I said "massive objects passing nearby" I didn't mean the gravitaional pull of a galaxy millions of light years away, but stars, black holes, and other massive objects that would pass close to the solor system. And yes, I had already known that stars would...

    What effects do the collision of galaxies have on the solar system?

    Because if would seem to me, that planets suffer relativly little disturbance from these collisions, that is, they're not pulled away from their main star, by other massive objects passing nearby. (Or in most cases they're not) During the 4 billion year history of our solar system, the Earth and...

    Scientific explanation of the Universe

    OK everyone, stop what you're doing, you can't solve this mystery, stop working on it, it's hopeless to even try, let's just say God did it and not worry anymore, agreed?
