Big Bang's afterglow fails intergalactic 'shadow' test

BTW, thanx so much for the ping.

[Moonman62]

Not quite. The shadowing is a verifiable prediction of theory. Failure to find it would casts doubt on the theory.

Or it would cast doubt on the measurement. See post #85.

Or it would cast doubt on the measurement.

Of course. A high school science project is not likely to overthrow a well established and well validated scientific theory. But if repeated attempts to verify the prediction of a theory prove unsuccessful, it undermines the theory. It's like Michelson-Morely's null result.

Wolfhart Pannenberg's discourse on nature(what nature is) in reference to the Garden of Eden paradigm of nature in "Towards a Theology of Nature" is interesting.. Thanks..

What if... the Garden of Eden was a prequel to the Garden of the Universe?.. The Universe being the expansion of the same theme.. i.e. "be fruitful and multiply".. except not physically but spiritually.. What a drama that would be..

You know where I am going with this.. i.e. the Book of Worms(BOW)..
I know... I know I'm like an ideological book with one page.. LoL..
That Book of Worms must have wormed my mind.. and consumed it..

Carl Sagan said, "life must've started somewhere FIRST"...
If that place was/is earth(no other evidence/proof of life)..
The possibilities(of that) are pregnant with hope for this Universe..

Why such a huge Universe with no other life in it.. WHY?..
How many eons would it take to fill this Universe with lifeforms?.. Tested by a/the chrysalis(physical/spirit) archetype on earth.. A model of culture construction for corporate lifeforms..

If this Tale or Yarn (or a epiphany) is just a tale it would still be a really cool TV show/ movie/ or even a novel.. LoL.. So I don't feel ashamed at sharing it this Lords Day... Populating the/this Universe would indeed be an expansion of the Garden of Eden.. and superior to it.. No wonder the Garden of Eden did and should have been been eclipsed to a greater plan and fullfillment of the whole creation.. NOW theres a creation story for you... LoL..

*The truth of science*? How?

Science changes by the day. What *true* today is not necessarily going to be *true* tomorrow.

Why believe in something so unsubstantial or unreliable?

[Wormwood]

Science changes by the day. What *true* today is not necessarily going to be *true* tomorrow.

That statement displays a woeful misunderstanding of the scientific method.

[RightWhale]

Carl Sagan said, "life must've started somewhere FIRST"...

Did he? Well, even if he did say that he didn't mean that all life is descended from that first living thing. There could be billions and billions of such 'first' creaures.

[.. That statement displays a woeful misunderstanding of the scientific method. ..]

Barely 100 years ago (Laudanum)Opium mixed with Mercuric compounds were given as healing potions.. honestly and ignorantly.. serving up death or living degradation..

What metaphorical Laudanum is being served up today in the various "sciences"..
Only the arrogant would say NONE...

[Wormwood]

Only the ignorant would assume that the modern scientific community was equivalent to their Victorian counterparts.

[Wormwood]

More importantly, what proved those Victorian quacks wrong?

The Church?

No. It was their fellow scientists. That is how scien ce works: hypotheseses are proposed, challenged and defended. M

The truth eventually wins out.

[RightWhale]

Major difference. Scientists are trained, credentialed professionals now.

[.. Well, even if he did say that he didn't mean that all life is descended from that first living thing. There could be billions and billions of such 'first' creatures. ..]

I see, then, if the bull frog had wings he would Not bump himself along like he does..
You know.. the way God made him.. LoL.. ;)

[Southack]

Gee, shadows predicted by the Big Bang aren't there. Who woulda thunk it?!

[hosepipe]

[.. More importantly, what proved those Victorian quacks wrong? ..]

Nope actually it was the Herbalists that WERE healing people, some of them.. Course there were quack herbalists too.. like all the so-called medical "doctors" were..

[RightWhale]

Frogs with wings. I have already exceeded my weekly dietary allowance for animal protein, but next week I will ask Quisnos about it.

[Wormwood]

like all the so-called medical "doctors" were..

"Were" being the operative word in your statement.

[baubau]

As Adam said in the Garden of Eden, "Who is going to know."

[hosepipe]

[... As Adam said in the Garden of Eden, "Who is going to know." ..]

Answer: Everybody!.. Adam knew, Eve watched... and is God BLIND?..

Gee, shadows predicted by the Big Bang aren't there. Who woulda thunk it?!

Way to be on top of things.

[capitalist229]

They are forgetting the fact that there is no shadow at noon.
