Can we be sure; extremely sure, that somewhere along the way at least ONE trifurcation has NOT happened??
Time...
Swell...
Yes, that is why science cannot deal with it so thermodynamics was invented.
“The heights of arrogance and self-delusion that mankind can rise to in his absolute, unflinching, certainty of his own self-importance never ceases to amaze me.”
Yup. Those scientists seem to be assuming that in the entire lifespan of the universe, we are the only intelligent species that has ever existed and looked at the stars.
A couple DU`ers are actually pissed off at this and blaming humans for shortening the lifespan of the universe. So should Astronomy be outlawed, observatories and the Hubble telescope be destroyed, and anyone who looks up at the night sky be arrested for Crimes Against the Universe?
“Astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies, and gas, and the mysterious, unseen “dark matter.” While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new discovery dwarfs them all.”

“IN AUGUST, radio astronomers announced that they had found an enormous hole in the universe. Nearly a billion light years across, the void lies in the constellation Eridanus and has far fewer stars, gas and galaxies than usual. It is bigger than anyone imagined possible and is beyond the present understanding of cosmology. What could cause such a gaping hole? One team of physicists has a breathtaking explanation: “It is the unmistakable imprint of another universe beyond the edge of our own,” says Laura Mersini-Houghton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.”
“It is a staggering claim. If Mersini-Houghton’s team is right, the giant void is the first experimental evidence for another universe. It would also vindicate string theory,”

So did humans cause that hole, and will our destruction of our universe cause the destruction of other universes?
“Its Bushs fault!”
Karl Rove`s Universe-Aging-Accelerator Machine.

Why can’t I make money shovling this kind of BS? I guess it’s Bush’s fault too.
It was actually built by the Halliburton Hurricane machine division.
Is this covered by my carbon offsets?
4 Q 2 !
Hmmm....I wonder if James Dent is any relation to Arthur Dent....Arthur Philip Dent...a kneebiter and a complete jerk if I recall correctly, at least as far as Agrajag is concerned...Oh no...not again...aaaargh!
God created us - and He controls our fate. He will create a new heaven and a new earth on His timetable.
I remember when the “big” attack on the Bible was “how can there be light on the first day when there was no sun or stars?”
As Laura Ingraham might say “Just shut up and do science.”
