Lol—don’t know if you remember the Ringer rules for debating....
No mercy—go straight for the jugular...
Lol.
In the seventh grade, I asked the teacher what was on the other side that the edge of the universe was expanding into. She got mad.
In college chemistry, someone asked the professor and he got mad.
No one has yet explained that to me.
There isn’t “edge of the universe.” The universe is infinite but expanding. Imagine a loaf of raisin bread of infinite size, but where the space between the raisins is getting ever larger.
Your teachers were mad because you didn’t understand the basics.
Exactly. Dark matter and dark energy are only theories that even the best physics people have yet to explain what they currently don't know for fact. So how did that "string" theory work out? Last I knew, they still can't explain gravity, but they have some theories.......
“what was on the other side that the edge of the universe was expanding into”
Great question.
The scientists have been “faking it” from day one.
Imho they do not even know the right questions to ask so they have no chance of getting the correct answers.
They layer assumption on assumption until they have a huge pile of garbage—that collapses each time our observation ability improves.
“I don’t know” is the right answer.
They really need to try it on for size.
So far as I can tell, BBT has little real physics content. And those guys are not really like actual math and science types.
how do they know it has always expanded? could it not be pulsating out and then, like a quivering water droplet?
Dark energy and dark matter are literally dark in that they emit and reflect no radiation, although in another sense they are transparent. They do affect radiation though - dark matter’s gravity bends light and other radiation and dark energy’s acceleration darkens light through the Doppler effect.
“I have a theory that theories are increasing, as the gravitational pull of grant money spawns more and more theories. This is, of course, theoretical....”
Precisely. Well done!
Dark matter has mass so it has gravity, which is the only property by which we are able to detect it. It does not carry any strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, or electromagnetic force, which is why it is dark. Hypothetically.
The use of hallucinogens in science is reaching major proportions...

“There isn’t “edge of the universe.” The universe is infinite but expanding. Imagine a loaf of raisin bread of infinite size, but where the space between the raisins is getting ever larger.”
I have heard that one too. The loaf of bread, its edges, still has to have somewhere to expand, first against the sides of the pan and then up. You can’t figure that out?
“The loaf of bread, its edges, still has to have somewhere to expand, first against the sides of the pan and then up. You can’t figure that out?”
I can because I passed grade 9 math.
Do you think that the list of numbers ends somewhere if you just count high enough?
The infinite exists.
“theoretical study suggests”
theoretical $tudy $ugge$t$ more $tudy needed
There, fixed it
“The universe is expanding faster and faster,,,,”
Fed.gov is expanding faster and faster.....there. Fixed it
What do Samantha Carter and Merideth Rodney McKay have to say about this?
“Do you think that the list of numbers ends somewhere if you just count high enough?
The infinite exists.”
Well, yes, but we were talking about an expanding universe.
What is your point?
