    Where I do not quite agree with Bufofrog that philosophy is the trash can for all questions that sciences cannot answer

    My comment was directed at J.Merrill's question, which was why does mass warp space.  IMO physics tries to answer how and philosophy would try to answer why.

    The Big Bang

    It violates the first law of thermodynamics,

    So now you see that your comment was not correct, so that's good.

    Every theory violates physical laws,

    This more general statement you made is also obviously incorrect.

    What are you serious? Please read this.

    The Conservation of Matter During Physical and Chemical Changes. Matter makes up all visible objects in the universe, and it can be neither created nor destroyed.

    That is incorrect. 

    When a positron and an electron meet they are annihilated and 2 photons result from this annihilation.  The matter is destroyed.  A energetic photon can be converted into matter/anti-matter pair when in comes in close proximity to the nucleus of an atom, in other words matter is created.

    The Big Bang

    It violates the first law of thermodynamics, which says you can't create or destroy matter or energy. 

    That is not what the first law says.  You can create and destroy matter, it happens all the time.

    The first long-lived matter particles of any kind were protons and you guessed it neutrons. And together they make up the atomic nucleus. These came into existence around of 0.0001 a second after the Big Bang, Before that there was really no material in any familiar sense.

    That of course does not violate the first law of thermodynamics.

    For Physics to even be what it is you must question explanations in their own right of answers, until you have a definitive proof and no questions are left.

    Proof is not really the realm of science.  Theories are never proven, they are only supported by the evidence

    Why does Mass have an affect on Spacetime which causes Gravity.

    The answer is, that is not a physics question, that is a philosophy question.  Just like the question, "why does a positive charge attract a negative charge" is a philosophy question.

    But if you take away the mass causing this Warped Spacetime, what causes the "Curved Fabric of Space"  return to its previous state,  into its unbent position?

    The fact that the mass is gone that was warping spactime.

    Then that is to say light leaving a stars gravity is red shifted too,

    That is correct.

    even if it’s moving closer to us by nature of the universe.

    The light leaving the gravity well of a star is red shifted.  If the star is moving towards us then that red shifted light will be blue shifted.

    And this we know is false.

    No, it is not false.

    I would have to agree here, by a biblical definition of GOD. Light would be Omnipresent.

    Not sure what you are trying to say here.  According to the bible light was not omnipresent, but since we are in the physics section I have no idea why this would come up in the discussion.

    What is pure energy because it is The simplest form of electromagnetic waves. This makes it true that light is pure energy. And if Light is made of photons, then photons are indeed pure energy.

    This is incorrect.  If photons were pure energy (whatever that could be) then they would have no other properties, such as spin, frequency and momentum.

    But we have evidence of intelligent design today. We clone, gene edit, and such. So if creative design exists today what about the past?

    You believe in the past mankind knew about DNA and gene editing.  That is an absurdly far fetched idea!

    My question is very straight forward and I have clearly stated

    No it's not.

    There are 2 different magnetic forces in nature

    Please explain what you mean by that.  My guess is that you mean the north end of the magnet is one force and the south end of the magnet is the other force.  Is that what you are saying?

    Now, the "Big Bang" theory is being heard becoming to have no sense.

    I wonder what that means.

    Coincidence?

    I would say the 2 sentences were unrelated, so there could be no coincidence.

    For me, a thread in this forum, making history...

    That's nice that something about this thread makes you feel important and worthwhile.

    Bufofrog, I'm going to have to withdraw this post, I spent three hours last night googling this and found out that the idea of " alcubierre drive" is still being debated and if I'm honest I have to admit the people who are on the side of "time travel" seem to have the best argument. In all honesty I'm pretty sure this is above my pay grade, I apologise for being so sure and flippant about it.

    No problem, I've enjoyed talking about it.
