Hi, one of physician from Yale Univ explained first 6 days in bible can be very similar to 16 billion years if we understand relativity.
His theory tells that
first day after the big bang, temperture of the universe was around 3 trillion times higher which means frequency of universe clock(?) was 3 trillioin times higher, therefore a second of the universe clock was 3 trilion times faster and that makes 1 second apprx 90,000 yrs and one day 8billion yrs. the next day temperture of the universe decreases and frequency also decreases and if we assume the temperture was halved then second day after big bang could be 4 billion yrs in todays time and so on , so on.

is the point made from the physician valid other than accuracy of the numerical figures?

No. You can obviously find a function f such that f(6)=16*365*109, but why would anyone want to? It still wouldn't support any religious claims, or anything else.

By the way, the current best estimate of the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years ±1%.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
