I need to see the picture WITHOUT the colored circles too...

[Dr. Ursus]

Does Sheldon Cooper concur?

The circular patterns within the cosmic microwave background shown above suggest that space and time did not come into being at the Big Bang but that our universe in fact continually cycles through a series of "aeons," according to University of Oxford theoretical physicist Roger Penrose, who says that data collected by NASA's WMAP satellite supports his idea of "conformal cyclic cosmology".

Interesting. So how did the first cycle of "aeons" start?

Looks like they found Atlantis for real this time.

Looks like a Mayan Calendar.

Celestial crop circles?

[Tucker39]

Since IMHO, there never was a “big bang,” if these images are legit, they can only be shadowy vestiges of Creation as it was right after God SPOKE IT INTO EXISTENCE, and prior to Adam’s rebellion and the subsequent curse.
This present world which is so beautiful even under the curse, can’t hold a candle to what it was before the Fall; nor how glorious it will be when its restoration is complete.
The Second Epistle of Peter, Chapter 3 will explain what I mean.

Really interesting theories from the often brilliant minds of the expert theorists. When they proclaim there is no God of all this intelligent design it baffles the mind and diminishes their expertise IMHO.

Upon further review another startling theory is emerging!

It was obviously a hit-and-run........where was Bryson?..............

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries”.

Hawking is wrong, again. M THEORY is only half of it. It’s actually THE M & Ms THEORY. I like the peanut ones.

[Red Badger]

Ping!...........

[Boogieman]

Someone should clue these guys in that this model of the universe was recently disproved mathematically, so they can stop chasing ghosts.

It’s a bullseye for democrat congressional districts.

Ghosts in space? Spaaaaaaaace Ghooooooost! That Jan was a hottie.
