The biggest problem with the big bang theory is that it somehow attracts attacks filled with hatred and lies -- i.e., yours.

This, for example, is a lie:

Since you are most like mouthing lies from some wacko site, I'll give you some slack this time.

The person who attacked me like this has given me a warning on courtesy because I called his balloon analogy "nonsense".

In the previous post to this, he says my writings are "the cry of a crackpot", that I write nonsense, and that much of my post is random unconnected thoughts. It is all there for all to see.

DH. Why don't you just admit that you have no answers so abuse your authority by trying to censor people who show you wrong?
 
kaneda, you made four consecutive nonsense posts. Rather than citing you for each and every one, I picked the last. Regarding the "cry of the crackpot", this was specific to your claim "Research money is often hard to come by and who is going to pay to check on what is mostly accepted as true?" That is the cry of a crackpot, and it is false. Scientists do check on "what is mostly accepted as true" all the time. To name just a few: Multiple experiments to measure the speed of light. Multiple experiments to verify the equivalence principle. Multiple experiments to assess the rest mass of a photon. WMAP. Gravity Probe B.

I gave several examples of satellite galaxies being gobbled up by their parent galaxy. Now what makes you think the star was captured a relatively short time ago? The star is 13.2 billion years old. If it was captured a long time ago, the galaxy in which the star formed in might well have been completely disrupted.

You say our galaxy is old enough to have such stars and you say our galaxy may have caught such a star. Make up your mind. Old stars are normally in the rim and not half way in to the centre. While a small galaxy may have disrupted, there would surely be some "damage" to our galaxy and not one but a fair number of such stars in the area.


Name some. The purported evidence against the big bang is for the most part crackpot garbage: pooh-pooh. Dark matter and dark energy are a bit problematic, and many cosmologists are trying to find alternatives that either explain these phenomena or do not require them. Note well: These alternatives are refinements to the big bang, not wholesale replacements.

Some first second problems. Where did the singularity come from? Why a singularity? Singularities if they exist (and there is no evidence. Even Hawking gave up on them) would be ultimately stable. Then we have unproven inflation, solely to explain away the homogeneity of the CMB. At around 10^32 second we have matter appear and so gravity at which point that would be the end of the universe since there can be no more inflation. Then inflation slows down to expansion somehow.


The cry of the crackpot.


Are you going to give yourself a warning for being discourteous so many times to me in just a few posts?


This is pretty much nonsense. What is this type 1A supernova fiasco to which you are referring? What exactly are you trying to say here?

A dwarf star rotates a bit faster, it can hold twice as much material before going supernova (old news), so making a larger explosion, so appearing much nearer. Hardly a standard candle. Rotating slower would have the opposite effect. Supernovae in gas and dust areas can appear far brighter or duller. The make-up of the material taken from another star can affect the brightness of the explosion, etc. Many possible factors involved.


This has nothing to do with the age of the galaxy other than setting a lower bound on that age.

We have a very old rim, an increasingly young inner circle and a supermassive black hole at the centre. I think we need to understand galaxy formation before we can set a definite age. However in the very oldest galaxies formed by merging minor galaxies, such traumatic events would surely make stars of just about all the material around, leaving almost nothing for star formation several billion years later.

The rest of your post comprises random, unconnected thoughts. Try sticking to one topic for once.

The rest of my post was pointing out that I had gone into your point of picking up stars from other galaxies elsewhere, so I don't know where you got this from?

Nonsense posts as in disagreeing with you. Would you rather this site was full of wiki-quoters who asked no hard questions and where every answer is only a click away to save thinking?

The exact speed of light is important for a number of reasons so ever more exact measurements are made. The equivalence principle still needs work done on it and is not set in stone. Were they looking for the rest mass of a photon? It has no mass and is never at rest. Considering what little detail we have on the CMB, there will undoubtedly be more missions to find new stuff. Gravity Probe B is hardly going over old stuff. So all new stuff. Anything to do with cosmology, which was the subject under discussion?

I don't think anyone believes that singularities are actual points of zero volume and infinite density. They are a signpost that the theory of general relativity is incomplete and we need a theory of quantum gravity to properly describe them. The reason we have inflation and a big bang starting at a small point is precisely because it lines up with what we observe - a redshifted afterglow (the CMB) that is very homogeneous. Maybe the inflationary BB is not the only way it can be explained but I've never come across an explanation that worked as well.

You are creating a logical fallacy. A galaxy can be older than the oldest star in it. The median age in the US is about 36, and the oldest living person in the US is 115. That doesn't mean the US is at most 115 years old, and that is essentially what you are implying.

You are also conveniently ignoring the galactic bulge, which comprises another collection of old stars.

While a small galaxy may have disrupted, there would surely be some "damage" to our galaxy and not one but a fair number of such stars in the area.
Read some of the references cited earlier. Posts #130, #134, #141 a good place to start.

How could the expansion get faster, with gravity always pulling it back? Even if gravity gets weaker as the distances increase, gravity remains always an attractive force.

Gravity is pulling over ever greater distances, so weaker. It is also hampered by light speed.

You missed the point again.

Suppose there's a rope tied around your waist and I'm holding the other end. By pulling on the rope I exert a force that pulls you towards me. Now, we simulate the expansion of the universe by you running away from me. I pull on the rope all the time as you run, only I pull on it more and more weakly as you get further away from me.

Do you agree that the force of my pull, no matter how weak, will always tend to slow you down? Yes or no?
 
Is big bang proven to be solid true?
Just because we observe that the distant galaxies are flying away from us, we postulate that the universe was born from a big bang?
So far, how true is big bang according to the latest astronomical observation?
And, any evidence to prove otherwise?

Big Bang is just another mere theory . Scientists come with all kind of weird theories with no proof at all . The scientific tragedy is that those scientists get away with everything they say because they are famous and their words are heavy everywhere .
 
Hello James R

Just remember there are two ways for gravity reduction to occur. You can increase the distance or you can reduce the mass. Both will produce a reduction in the force of gravity (and increase the time rates).

:)
 
just asking , does space , at the moment of the big-bang , have any friction associated with it ?

does space its self provide any form of expansion friction ?

Friction is a contact force between two objects. Space is not an object, so I don't see how it could have any friction.
 
so what would slow down the BB explosion in a frictionless space ?

Gravity?

(Of course, as a matter of fact the expansion is not slowing down but accelerating.)
 
“ so what would slow down the BB explosion in a frictionless space ?


no

since gravity is such a very extremely, weak force

(Of course, as a matter of fact the expansion is not slowing down but accelerating.)

yes

but expansion of the Universe is more about the expanding space between objects though

so that the objects stay still

but the space between them increases

so how does an explosion and just the space between objects increase reconcile with one another ?
 
no

Yes, gravity. Do some reading and thinking instead of spouting nonsense. Live up to your user name.

Whether gravity has stopped or ever will stop the expansion is a different question. Right now, the evidence is equivocal; the universe appears to be very, very close to flat.

The definition of singularity changes as needed. The real problem with the BB is the singularity. Better idea is that energy and matter appeared over a large area (ie: maybe leaked from "elsewhere") of billions of cubic light years and then expanded from that.

I have in the past thought of gravity as falling in an unknown direction. You have a planet in 3D space trying to stabilise itself in a "zero" (as in below the already numbered 1,2 and 3) physical dimension, so falling towards it's own centre but in such a direction that in 3D it causes the planet to rotate as it tries to spiral into itself. I know this is poorly explained, but I know what I mean.

But not much older since star formation would begin very quickly. Galaxies I think are believed to form starting with an SMBH which would mean that the oldest stars should be in that vicinity. And yet the oldest stars are said to be mainly in the rim.

Could galaxies start as very compact and spread out over time with the rim area being the first to have a low enough density to form stars as it moves away from a dense central medium/area which also forms the SMBH?

I must have explained it badly because you seem to be saying the same as what I intended.
