If eternity future is possible.. eternity past must also be possible..

Which would relegate the BIG BANG.. to an interesting YARN..
much like “Evolution”.. also an interesting Tale..

Humans are such drama queens.. who also like “democracy”
Which is a Yarn of massive proportions.. no democracy has ever been democratic..

Democracy was, is and will continue to be Mob Rule by mobsters..
Much like Monarchy with a different kind of Mob.. more efficient really..

Very good entertainment all..

"The evidence2 is available that shows the “cosmic microwave background” (CMB) radiation is not “background” at all. It is a local radio “fog” from interacting Birkeland filaments within the Milky Way. The “cold spot” confirms that the “CMB” has no cosmological significance. It is commonsense that one hemisphere will be “colder” than the other, unless we just happen to be dead-center in the electric current stream of our arm of the Milky Way—an unlikely situation. As for the suggestion of a “parallel universe,” it is a meaningless juxtaposition of words—sadly a regular feature of modern physics."

When they eventually look far enough, they’ll see the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

If nothing can move FTL and everything started in the same place, how can we look ‘back’ and see the light from the Big Bang? We must have moved faster than the light in order to be ‘in front’ of it.

The galaxy is flat looking and not a globe, but do we have a measurement for the height of the galaxy?

Still doesn’t explain how the universe “sprang into existence.” There’s gotta be a lot of energy to make something that big “spring” into existence.

From where?
What was the source of energy?

Saying that the universe pops in and out of existence, like some scientists do, is really stupid.

The only answer, is that a force or source of energy OUTSIDE of the universe caused it to come into existence. (See St. Thomas of Aquinas for a further explanation.)

BTW, “spring into existence” is stupid. Only something that already exists can “spring” anywhere. So if it doesn’t exist, it can do any “springing.”

The afterglow from the biggest, best bang ever just gets a yawn from researchers?

I wanna party with those cats

"...how can we look ‘back’ and see the light from the Big Bang?  We must have moved faster than the light in order to be ‘in front’..."

Remember that your looking far away doesn't mean that you're far away, it means your eyes are getting light from there that took a while to travel to you. 

We're just now finally receiving really old light (think of the USPS) and it's showing us how things looked like a long time ago.  Something else is that back then the universe was smaller.  Now I know that things are supposed to look smaller when they're farther away, but super far distances means we're looking at stuff that's actually small because the entire universe was small back then.

That picture is what the big bang looked like, as seen from the inside.

...eternity past must also be possible...

What, you're saying there was no 'beginning' when God created heaven and earth?

That's not ten to thirty seconds, it's 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th of a second.  The idea being that space traveled in that time a distance of about a couple feet until the entire universe was the size of a beach ball.  Personally I don't buy that FTL story; I find it easier to believe that everything began with the universe already 4 feet across.

And what line of reasoning connects this science news to your claim that your bloodthirsty horror fantasy created it all?

Yeah, yeah, I understand the negative. It' didn't carry in a hasty copy/paste executed at near Planck speed (choked only by bandwidth restrictions)

I find it easier to believe that everything began with the universe already 4 feet across.

That's humerous enough, but why 4ft? Why not 40, 400, or 4,000?

Yup

and that`s why their theory will always be a ‘ maybe-what-if-perhaps’ theory.

What they are actually arguing is that their theory defies basic laws, that something, in fact everything, came from, nothing !

They argue EFFECT with no CAUSE !

Exactly.. Linear Time itself may be only a perception.. i.e. of humans..

I know this goes against rational thinking “in the box”...
but “in the box” you may only see “cardboard”.. i.e. cardboard box..

Humans thinking about time can be described in the metaphor of a Chimpanzee considering a Platinum diamond encrusted Rolex watch.. The creature has no idea of whats involved in producing that “interesting bauble”...

With Chimps whats important is WHO GETS TO hold the artifact.. disagreements can happen.. and fights over possession of the “shiny thing”... What “IT” actually “IS”.. becomes much less important.. than pecking order..

You know... “alpha ape” credentials.. LOL.. like an “APE” has the slightest concept of what that watch actually is..

Apes considering “GOD” is also a “reach”.. not far from humans attempts at it.. like a painting trying to psycho analyze the painter..

I admit humans have a distinct problem with INFINITY..
or anything “eternal”... The real question is “IS” eternity possible.. cause if it is.. it is possible in both “perceived” directions.. (past and future)..
