Space Ping!............
I’m sure Darwin can explain how this happened.
The harder we look in any direction, the more we see.
Or HT..........
If the ‘universe’ is round, shouldn’t we be able to see the back side?.........
Maybe I need to increase my reading glasses...
Bet you THEY can produce a birth certificate.
Good question. If the universe has expanded from the center like a balloon, then wouldn't there be galaxies 26 billion L/Y away? Hopefully some Freeper better versed in astronomy will be around shortly to explain this.
Maybe the light hasn't gotten here yet!.......;^)
There’s a hierarchy in developing galaxies? Bureaucracy.....it’s everywhere.
OK, we’ve now found a part of our universe that’s been around for 13 BILLION years. Yet we believe all of this is going to cease existing THIS YEAR.
How arrogant to think that WE are going to be the witnesses to end of a 13 billion year-plus history.
do we yet know the direction of the center of the known universe???
Scientists crack me up, especially when they depend on taxpayer money to come up with this crap. How on earth could anyone calculate how old something is in space. Its rediculous.
I've got to be honest here, I can't tell the difference between a new galaxy or an old one.......
Okay, the Wiki link kind of answers the question, just as I postulated, the light has not arrived here yet.
The ‘observable’ universe, from our vantage point, consists of solely what WE can ‘see’, and other vantage points would give different ‘observable universes’, that may or may not overlap ours.
So, we live in a ‘bubble’ that is limited by the speed of light and distance to the edge of observations.
The inference is, therefore, that there is more ‘stuff’ out there that we cannot yet ‘see’ because it is too far away for the light to have arrived here.
So the astronomers create a ‘Dark Matter’ and ‘Dark Energy’ theory to account for the absence of that which they cannot yet see.
Has anyone ever postulated that there may have been a ‘Big Bang’ followed by numerous ‘Little Bangs’ that created successive ‘universes’ that are all the same approximate age, but for reasons of limits on the speed of light are not directly observable from one to another?
Each ‘Little Bang’ would be, to the observers inside its bounds, a ‘Big Bang’ that would not have enough ‘matter’ inside its boundaries to account for its own existence.
The ‘Universe’ may be much bigger than we have ever conceived, and contain much more than we thought possible..............
why does darwins theory mean that there is no god or that there is a god proves darwin wrong, isn’t just as likely that both are possible? for example god created the universe and the planets etc and since then natural selection has occured?
