The discussion revolves around the interpretation of the Big Bang theory, specifically addressing the nature of the universe's expansion and the implications of infinity in this context. Participants explore theoretical aspects, misconceptions, and the conceptual framework surrounding the Big Bang, with a focus on clarifying misunderstandings and debating the nature of space and expansion.
Participants express differing views on the nature of the universe's expansion and the concept of infinity, indicating that multiple competing interpretations remain unresolved.
Some statements reflect assumptions about the nature of the universe and the Big Bang theory that may not be universally accepted, highlighting the complexity and nuance of the topic.
Pyrus said:We say that in big bang, a highly dense point like structure exploded and expanded.
Thanks for replying and rectifying my mistake.weirdoguy said:No, it's not what BB theory says. It says that Universe was in a hot dense state, but if it is infinite it was infinite back then. That being said, your question is based on a wrong assumption, so it does not make sene.
Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
astronomers measured the light and found that it was red-shifted.
Pyrus said:We say visible universe is expanding but then, in what is it expanding.
Pyrus said:I think the concept of putting infinity wherever we cannot explain things is wrong.
