The observation was explained as the result of an explosion.
I still have a problem with it all because if I was the sun and I had exploded to produce this whole mess, my perspective would be different (and the words I use to describe the event) than if I was Mars ... or Saturn.
Each planet (point of reference FROM the focus of the bang (if there WAS a bang) .. ) would have a different perspective and observation.
from Saturn looking out I see Pluto moving away ... but Mars (looking back to the focus of the bang) would be moving with me or if the expansion is equal ... Mars is moving away also. thus ... where am I in this spectrum becomes ALL important in explaining and realizing the big bang as a valid theary.
When it's all said and done ... I don't believe the big bang and I don't believe evolution
I think it was Steven Hawking who developed the big bang and made it popular. He said there was nothing before the big bang.
That’s where it breaks down for me. Hard to believe everything just developed and fell into place the way that it has without God setting it in motion.
Ah yes, that’s why the equations make that n-dimensional trick to avoid the need for a single spot for the explosion’s ground zero. No, there’s no need right now for complications beyond Newton’s laws for this particular problem.
That’s a very interesting question. Can one really say that Earth is not the center of the solar system? What the equations say is only that the calculations are simpler if one assumes the Sun to be the center. The orbits come up “prettier”, that is elliptical instead of lemniscates or whatever. But is that right? Yes. And no. In the end, under this rule, the only thing we know is “the calculations fit”. There is an entire set of calculations where the Earth is the center of the universe. And, mathematically, they’re right. There’s another set where the Horsehead nebula is the center. None are particularly elegant.
What does it mean when we say Big Bang is scientifically sound? It means the same thing: “the calculations fit”. In those calculations there’s no particular “center of explosion”. That’s because the calculations were made based on the observation or lackthereof of said center.
