AI Thread Summary
The Big Bang refers to the leading scientific explanation for the origin of the universe, marking the beginning of space and time approximately 13.8 billion years ago. The reasons behind the Big Bang and what preceded it remain largely unknown, as current scientific frameworks do not provide definitive answers to these questions. The concept of inflation in cosmology suggests rapid expansion of the universe shortly after the Big Bang, but it does not clarify what existed before this event. The limitations of science in addressing existential questions about the universe's inception are acknowledged, emphasizing that some inquiries may extend beyond scientific explanation. Ultimately, the nature of the universe's beginnings continues to be a profound mystery.

We don't know. Science doesn't answer such questions. Science isn't supposed to answer such questions.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

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?'

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...
