well id likr to introduce myself into this thred first by sayin a few thing, this is what im all about, i LOVE This stuff, 2) im total science nerd at heard i even won the nation science olympiad in 6th grade (not bragging just stating sci nerdiness) 3) its been something like 5 or more years since ive been in school so i havent heard most of this from a teacher but by reading and the science channel ( i watch it like 16yr olds watch porn, with out the masterbation) 4) im to lazy to quote posts but im gonna adress a few
ok first thing i saw that was contradictory to the current belief among scientists is the theory of a universe that will eventually colapse. we've all heard that the universe is expanding but heres the kicker. its speeding up! (according to hawkings latest calculations)
the origional theory of a colapsing universe was founded on a commonsence notion that if gravity between galaxies would pull them together.this theory was shot down when they found that the empty space between galaxies is itself expanding, the empty space being "dark matter" its not currently explainable but it called dark because of the absence of light and radiation .
another little tid bit is that they have discovered that the out most edge of the galatic mass's (the edge of the universe dosent exist) is curved. noone knows what this means yet but we know its curved.
on the subject of black holes, they are conceived when a star burns out and its gravity sucks celestial bodies around it into it and eventually creats a singularity. a singularity is an infinatly small infinatly heavy mass that pulls the "fabric" of space at suck a deep, steep slop that not even light can escape it. a cool thing about them is that at the event horizon (the area directly above the center) they theorize ( i forgot how) that time itself is altered (not forward or back but stands still) and that if a person were to "jump in" long after he was part of the singularity he would still be visable as he was at the exact moment he reached the event horizon.
as far as the bang itself, its theorized that the "dark matter" inside the mass that went bang began to expand and thus overtime greated the bang. as for the origin of the matter itself, the only way to theorize on that is by the use of psyclobin or another triptamein (sp?)
heres what get me... the universe and the masses withing the universe are 3D so there are mass's in every direction around the earth, including above and below. Hawking and Einstein both reffer to a "fabric" of space. wich is, in part, what creates gravity. imagine a stretched out peice of latex, the size of a trampoline. if you were to set a bowling bal on it it would stretch and some softballs around it would spin around and down the hole, the reason they say planents dont spin into suns is because they have there own depressions in space, and they even out somehow. so since space is 3D then we are inside the latex so wouldnt a sun above us push down on the sun under it? thus creating repulsion as a couterpart of gravity. and hes a bigger brain teaser, im in alaska so say when i look at the sun its depression is going up from the sides of it now say i goto antartica and look at it... spacially im upside down so wouldnt the sun's depression be the opposite way? like its falling out of its own gravity? the repulsion i mentioned earlier may be an explination (sp?) for "dark matter" but the upside down thing is makin me wanna go smoke a boul (gotta love AK legalization)
peace, and critique this post please but do it ina somewhat sane matter
