I heard it and my ears are still ringing.
Can this model be applied to the Clintons?
Prachett had Alzheimers. He likely wanted a legal way out before he was totally incapacitated.
A band of neolithic desert dwellers?
Hmmmm. These places are not hotbeds of physics. Not that they have to be, but I'll reserve judgement.
Why was that clause necessary?
What have you got against Indian Physicists? Huh?
personally I lean toward the swiss cheese theory ...
What do we know about God (one’s particular theology aside)? The defining characteristics of God would be eternality and infinity. (i.e. God would be infinite and eternal.)
So a Universe that has always existed (and has no boundary) points directly to God.
To say that the Big Bang never occurred is not to say that the Universe hasn’t changed and evolved over time.
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance. (T.S. Eliot)
The static state theory holds well with the observable universe. What one needs to reflect on is the introduction of time. Time seems to be the variants that throws everything out of kilter. Assume a universe that has always existed and will always do so. Without time then this is logical mathematically and metaphisicallly. Without time, the universe was never created since the idea of creating something denotes a time component to it. A beginning and end. Without time there is no entropy. Creation out of nothing supposes a timeline: there is a start to something, time? Then again, time is a human construct.
Haha, live studio audience my ass.
The only way they have a live studio audience is if the audience is prompted to laugh every single time someone says anything.
Horrible show, never understand why people like it, it’s always been utter garbage.
They have a live audience. You can get tickets.
But if what we hear during the show is un-augmented laughter, the audience is a bunch of mental cripples.
Did he create it for the other religions? Kind of poses a problem doesn’t it?
Did you read my post and the scripture mentioned? It is self-explanatory.
That was probably my favorite Big Bang Theory scene. Because of the, uh, humor.
****An infinitely old universe will have a night sky filled with light****
I have yet to see proof that light travels forever.
I wonder if that's like a Bohmian Rhapsody?
All seriousness aside, though, the bit about "finite size and infinite age" makes no sense if the U is expanding. Can't have all 3.
As it travels, it loses energy which is expressed by a lower frequency. At some point, the frequency is so low you can’t see it. I suppose then you could say is stopped. But as we can see, the surface of a star puts out a LOT of light and we can see it from incredibly far away, almost back to the ‘flash’ when light became able to ‘shine.’
Ya think?
I’m sure the atheists will have a new cockamamie story before long!
