AI Thread Summary
The discussion critiques an article claiming to debunk the Big Bang theory, suggesting it focuses more on political commentary than scientific analysis. It highlights that the article references outdated concepts of the Big Bang and black holes, which have been addressed by modern inflationary cosmology. Participants express skepticism about the article's credibility, labeling it as "religious crackpottery" and emphasizing the need for better source evaluation. The conversation also touches on the complexities of black holes and the outdated steady-state theory, which is no longer widely accepted in scientific circles. Overall, the thread underscores the importance of critical thinking and reliable sources in scientific discourse.

Is it successful? What are the mistakes?

This seems more like *****ing about the United States and trying to use the (no longer standard) big bang theory to do so, than a scientific debunking to me.

The article also says that black holes are "imaginary:"

A black hole, like the American empire, is a violent object. Similarly, the Big Bang, which begins with a great explosion, is violent, and appealing to the American empire. One can see how an imaginary universe — containing destructive black holes, and a great explosion that began everything — provides psychological support for the American empire.

Finally, this article is about the no longer standard, old big bang theory, which has many problems that have been fixed or lessened by the new standard model of inflationary cosmology.

This guy seems like a douche to me, but I could be wrong as I'm not an expert on the subjects of cosmology or douches.
 
He could be onto something.
Because of angular momentum it's difficult to actually get into a black hole, matter just sits in orbit for a long time - very similair to the queue at immigration at any US airport.
Although the black hole emits a lot of EM radiation, no intelligence or information can escape form the back hole - US tv?

Like the famous quote about steady state: the universe has always been there and is continuing on for ever in the same steady way - this theory was very popular with academics!
 
But no serious scientists believe in the steady-state model nowadays, right?
 
That site is just religious crackpottery. It is not worthy of discussion here.

kasse, please screen your sources better. Not only will it avoid having threads closed, but learning to evaluate the quality of the sources is an essential skill for navigating the internet minefield and actually finding knowledge there.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
