Ever read Horton hears a Who?

Maybe whatever is pulling at the universe made the big bang in the first place? Kind of like a reaction and not an action?

Lots of room for speculation. Pretty fascinating stuff.

Oh yeah!! That’s probably where I got my idea.

That was a funny funny movie by the way. I laughed out loud alot!

Everything in the known universe is said to be racing toward the massive clumps of matter at more than 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) an hour -- a movement the researchers have dubbed dark flow.

This fits in with my theory that the known universe is a tiny speck floating in a gigantic toilet that has just been flushed.

All Republicans have to do is retrieve the Reagan playbook they threw in the trash.

You had a contract.

I guess the the multiverse-ic Tidy Bowl hanging thing accounts for blue shift.

[SunkenCiv]

Glad I could set that up for ya. ;’) Well played.

Will do.

Ah yes, the old ‘all sh!t is about to hit the wall and flatten out’ (ai ath twa fo) theory. After all, linear time has to flatten out on planar time at some where/when. They call it eternity, but it’s just way big present, all the ‘time’.

Cosmic socialists attempting to share the wealth of our Universe. Can’t escape the bastards.

[SunkenCiv]

Oooh, will do for you too. I think two in one day is probably a record for the String Theory Ping List.

racing toward the massive clumps of matter

Hmmmm. A new source of matter? A new source of gravity that negates the need for a theory of "dark matter".

Make it 3 ;)

So Science can’t determine how or why the Big Bang happened and it appears they’ve conceded they’ll never know what is “pulling” at everything.

If there's something huge out ther pulling at everything in our universe so that we're flying towards it at 2 million miles an hour, then how in the heck did the singularity ever form before the "big bang" that supposedly created the universe?

[allmost]

Thanks. :)
What do you think about the possibility of space itself being disproportionate though?

I’d say Ignorance has a large following among scientists, and among people in general. In fact, ignorance is the very coin of the realm.

Without ignorance, there would be rioting. Of that, I’m quite convinced.
