Is the Big Bang Cycling Through Hidden Time?

rofl! this is one of the few times where i really did lol.

[cripplecreek]

Einstein believed the static universe theory was correct until Hubble proved Lemaître to be correct.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Oh, You mean literally, not like the appearance of the sun going around the earth....

Smart aleckiness doesn’t come within light years of the relationship with God known as personal faith.

[SunkenCiv]

It don't care about time. Thanks lbryce.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I figure everything gets sucked into Black Holes. The the Black Holes suck each other up, and when it’s full, the gigantic Black Hole burps, and it starts all over!

[Do the math]

In all honesty we simply have no idea how the density of the universe changed at the beginning of the big bang. Thus we can only guess at the age of the universe. The brilliant mathematician Godel solved Einstein’s with the assumption that time was cyclical for Albert’s birthday. It all goes back to the fact that we do not know the value of the cosmological constant.

[GilesB]

Here is all that anyone needs to understand:
Ptolemy created a complicated model to explain the observed movements of the planets, in order to keep the earth in the center of the universe - all this in order that this supposed religious imperative of that time not be upset.

This constantly expanding and contracting version of the universe is another extremely complicated model to explain observable phenomena without invoking the Creator, and thus upsetting the current religion-ala-mode - The Church of There Is No God.

Because, you see, what the author describes at the beginning of this article - the Big Bang - implies a creator: There was nothing, and suddenly there was something.

It happened in a fraction of an instant with a great flash of light. Just like it is described in Genesis (And God said, “Let there be light...”). The question any honest investigator must ask is: “How did Moses know that it happened like that? Even if one rejects the idea of a creator, how is it that Moses wrote thousands of years ago about this event, and modern science has only discovered it in the last 40 years or so? How did Moses know?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Humanity has always sensed hints of this, a kind of mystical intuition put there by the Lord.

[GilesB]

That is actually a pretty good way of describing this theory.

[cripplecreek]

Except for the fact that black holes are expanding away from each other with their respective galaxy clusters.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

It looks like that freaky “Jack in the Box” guy from the Commercials!

[GilesB]

Currently they are - but this theory states that they will will eventually reach the limits of expansion and collapse back on each other...giant black hole swallowing everything up.

There is no evidence that the universe will not continue to expand...except, of course, the desperate need to avoid the idea of a beginning.

[MHGinTN]

*shrug* There is an entire reality no further away from you at any moment than the length of an arm, which is completely beyond your ability to sense it to know it is there. Of course, if/when someone reaches from there to your 4D spacetime, well, that's exciting! (See Daniel Chapter five)

[dp0622]

got ya. i think it drives them crazy that they cant definitely say what started it all.

[9thLife]

They have to keep inventing fancies like this to keep from facing the simple truth.

[Buttons12]

We really have no idea how this happened, which naturally gives rise to many theories.

My theory is that a little girl in another dimension got a Universe Kit for her birthday.

[Westbrook]

From the article:

This result implies ...
The evidence suggests ...
Guth suggests ...
We really have no idea how this happened...

Ah! Ok.

[Lazamataz]

Guth suggests the entire universe came essentially out of nowhere, at a rate that is incomprehensible: Within a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, the universe expanded by a factor of 1078 in volume — that's a 10 with 78 zeros after it. We really have no idea how this happened, which naturally gives rise to many theories.

My theory: "And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light."

[Lazamataz]

It happened in a fraction of an instant with a great flash of light. Just like it is described in Genesis (And God said, “Let there be light...”).

If I am allowed, and get to meet God, I wanna ask him about that. What was it like to create everything?

[Hugin]

I swear these scientists just sit around and make this stuff up to mess with us.
