Black Holes Preceded Galaxies, Discovery Suggests

Is this a picture of Obama’s brain?

“Singularity, Bang, Expansion, Contraction, repeat infinate amount of times as necessary.”

This gives a new perspective on the “Aw, geeze, not this s**t again” picture that pops up on FR frequently :-)!

I'm still perfecting my supernova / gamma ray burst effect. I'm getting close to what I want but I'm not quite there yet.

That’s a pretty cool trailer. Check out the tinfoil skullcap on the babe in distress.

leaving us with the God as a logical necessity.

Well, the original genesis of the big bang theory was a Catholic priest.

[Beowulf9]

LOL!

There would be no way to preserve any information. Anything that had not condensed into the singularity would be obliterated. Unless you believe that some material would somehow be far enough away to escape this cycle. That is also taking into consideration that space is linear.

[Moonman62]

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

First there was gravity and then there was accretion

[cripplecreek]

I hope you are referring to video effects, and not stellar physics experiments...

You'll know if I do....for a second anyway.

[LdSentinal]

one day they’ll discover that the Universe is just one big recycling center. Singularity, Bang, Expansion, Contraction, repeat infinate amount of times as necessary.

I thought "Dark Energy" gets rid of Contraction.

[bert]

......What causes the contraction of the universe.....

The boundry film.

[WVNight]

what if there is not enough mass to collapse the universe back on itself?(as it looks like)

What if space is not linear? There are some theories out there that it is not. Eventually there would be enough gravitational interaction to pull material back together.

What causes the contraction of the universe?

I believe in the end plain old gravity.

[cripplecreek]

Oh do you know how irresistable that is?

[wally_bert]

Even for it's time, a very good movie. Maximillian creeped me out as a kid.

[wally_bert]

The cartoony robots annoy me some. Maximillian made up for them in the sheer evil looks department.

That cheesey moustache that Ernie is sporting is hard on the eyes.

Ernest was in a very good BW movie called "Hey Marty" or Marty. I saw it once on one of the PBS 511 feeds when I worked at a member station.

[WVNight]

Well actually at the atomic level everything is moving. There are always forces acting on an object. I’m being pulled toward the center of the earth while typing on this computer. Suddenly dig a hole under me and where do I go? Into the hole. I don’t just stay stationary.

“Something outside of space time has to act on it or it stays a singularity forever.”
What would the critical mass of a singularity be? Is it conditional or is it unconditional.

“That force is supernatural since it outside of space and time. The big bang exploded the idea of a steady state universe . . .

leaving us with the God as a logical necessity.”

Eh I can buy that but who says God is not the supreme experimenter. Often times with a sense of humor.
