A really big hole in the universe

[{ Emilia }]

That does it. I have to put dryson on ignore. It physically hurts to read his stuff.
I have to assume he is trolling, nobody can be this ignorant of the real world.

I get your frustration but accusing people of trolling and publicly announcing you're putting them on ignore counts as trolling on this site, too. It's a warnable offense.

You're implying that he's he's either ignorant or a troll.

The rule on this site is: Attack the post, not the poster. You can call out a bullshit post without insulting the poster.

You've never done this before so I'm giving you a last, (relatively) friendly warning, also because your wording was relatively tame. You pull this stuff again, you earn an infraction.

And what if "the post" is blatant anti-science rubbish that verges on trolling?

Then you call it out for its bullshit without attacking the poster personally or you report the post as trolling.

Not rocket science, really.

wrong forum, then

dryson, please stop thinking of the big banfg as an actual explosion occuring in space.

What we refer to as the big bang was the universe getting a lot bigger very rapidly. The whole baloon was already there just getting inflated. As such there was no place the big bang occured. the big bang was everywhere becoming a whole lot more everywhere!

If the Big Bang never occurred then explosions would not exist anywhere in the Universe. Bombs wouldn't exist that explode outwards nor would fireworks as well. Eventually that balloon of yours will bust...an explosion.

Dryson, he never said the big bang didn't occur, and I think if you can read, you must know that, even if you pretend otherwise. He said it never occurred the way you think it did. I didn't occur in one place, it occurred everywhere. Or to look at it another way, 'everywhere' came out of the big bang.

Take a step back and consider your point that the big bang may have caused the huge void in space. How can that make sense? For the big bang to obliterate all the matter in one section of space, the matter and space would already have to be there rather than being created by the big bang.

Even if we go with wild speculation that perhaps there was another universe filled with space/time and matter, and a singularity within that universe expanded giving rise to the universe we now live in, the end result would not be a big void we could see within our universe. Any 'damage' done to the other universe would be beyond our observable horizon. We would not be able to see it.

If the Big,Bang occurred everywhere then we wouldn't have a definable edge to the Universe and would actually never see a definable edge.

Explosions have a definable edge and if you watch an explosion in slow motion you will see that I am correct.

Is it just me, or did you disprove your own point?

 

[Silvercrest]

And not for the first time.

Recursion seems a feature of these threads.

 

[Silvercrest]

And not for the first time.


Oh, right.

 

[RoJoHen]

Seriously, though. I'm not the most up-to-date on my astronomy, but the universe doesn't have a definable edge, right? There's a limit to what we've observed, but we haven't actually seen the "edge" of the universe?

If the Big,Bang occurred everywhere then we wouldn't have a definable edge to the Universe and would actually never see a definable edge.

Good point. Where is the well defined edge of the universe?

Got it. You derailed this thread on purpose. Why? Seriously.

 

[Silvercrest]

To keep things lively?

 

[PurpleBuddha]

Who knows. The internet is in no short supply of lively if that is what someone really wants though.

Rule of Acquisition #76b: Every once in a while, derail your own argument. It confuses the hell out of your opponent.

 

[Awesome Possum]

I guess we found where the aliens are and they're stealing space itself. Little green jerks.

Rule of Acquisition #1b: Once you have their space/time, never give it back.

System wide cloaking devices? The ancient intergalactic empire decided to let the other worlds be and hid from all creation?

Don't worry, Dylan will find Tarn Vedra eventually.

Nothing. The absolute center of nothing. Not even dark matter. But matter that is not normal is possibly present. Exotic matter that when possibly harvested could be used for new engines and fields. If the hole is void of any known matter that we know of there has to be someone influence at work within the void to keep normal matter from flowing into it.

This may sound weird but a few years ago I was practicing Dream Sequencing or training yourself to see a vague rendition of a dream as you are falling asleep. As I drifted off to sleep I thought to myself I wanted to travel through space and see space angels similar to what Anakin had said about Padma looking like a space angel.

As I drifted off to sleep I began dreaming that I was traveling through space and could see stars passing out side of the window. The next scene was inside of the ship which was a small single seater that looked like the interior of an X-wing but more digital in appearance. I then reached for the canopy and opened it up. Something told me that there wasn't any air but I was in a space suit. And no this dream took place before Interstellar. The next frame there was a black sphere on the right hand side and inside of it there were individuals made of bright sun surface light or light that flowed as if it was the surface of the sun. They had large opulent black eyes and were wearing black hoods.

Just thought I would share that with everyone.

That is a very vivid dream, Dryson, but do you have any proof of it being anything more than a dream fueled by a vivid imagination?
