Boloney. We can't measure how fast the Earth orbits/moves

through space around the sun?

We can measure it moving through space.

The reason there is no absolute rest is because everything

in the universe is moving through space. That what no absolute

rest actually means.

Measuring motion through space is a sinch.

What about that moment before anything existed?

Where did the Big Bang take place?

I say in a spaceless place!

That the answer to: Where is the universe at?

A singular mass in a singular space-time would have

the problem of its gravity making it a black hole.

Space expansion cannot explain the Primorial egg dividing

into single seperate particles.

It began with matter spread out. It expanded from a point

and under the pressure of space expansion mass was created.

With mass orginally created seperated the gravity of the

universe could be overcome by inflation/expansion. There

has to be a finite density that is nonsingular;a Maximum Mass

Density. I believe this directly follows the Pauli exclusion

principle. There is always some space between particles.

You have to realize that if you run the universe backwards

that antimatter making up a galaxy would be evenly mixed

with matter at the small space of the begining of the

universe. So you can't get antimatter galaxies.

As I like to say how does the primordial egg divide?

It had to be all matter. You can't seperate the matter

and the antimatter right from the very begining.

Right on snail.

Einstein dealt with the boundary problem; the space-no space

problem; by introducing his gravity as a cosmology. If gravity

curves space everywhere then the whole universe can curve

back on itself. This is his finite but unbounded universe.

Stephen Hawking is the same way.

Oh really?

Particle accelerators prove that the Earth is moving near the

speed of light through space because those particles accelerated?

You're a kook and BTW GR only explains curvilinear motion.

Curved space-time only explains changes in direction.

Can you see that?

Otherwise can you explain to me how gravity accelerates?

We know how it changes directions - curvature - but how

does it change speed?

The universe is neither large or small

It aint expanding into anything!!!

I believe the universe started as Dark Energy rather than light

energy. There had to be an original energy buildup and if it was

light then any matter coming from it was equal parts positive

and negative; equal amounts of matter and antimatter particles.

But the original energy breaks all the laws.

Once there was none.

I believe only matter(without antimatter) was created through

an original buildup of dark energy. I could be wrong but nobody

has been able to show why there is only matter galaxies in the

universe. I know there are hypotheses which are not satisfactory.

What if the shape of space is a hypersphere?

Where the universe is actually the surface of a hypersphere?

If the universe is unbounded then space doesn't have to end.

I know time doesn't.

Why doesn't time end?

If it did energy would end; no energy without time.

So time ending would violate the conservation of energy.

Energy can't disappeare. So time continues.

As Hawking said: GR predicts its own downfall by predicting

singularities.

And singularities are ends in time (and space).

No singularities!!!

If space-time is getting larger then it was once small.

Run expansion backwards and there is a begining at

a singularity. No way around it.

Anybody know if the black holes at the center of every galaxy would

qualify as a hypernova?

I have heard they are immense.

Unkownability of the universe?

Or the unknowable God?

Maybe black holes are recyclers.

After all when we see them at the center of galaxies they

are not black. They are just the opposite. They are ejecting

immense amounts of matter and energy out their poles.

Black holes eject big time!

Maybe they are creative; or re-creative that is.

You talk about the center of the Big Bang?

If you found that you could ask where that was.

Where was the cosmic egg?

No superverse. No multiverse.

Where did the one universe come from?

The creator.

The universe had a begining in a finite past and has expanded

only at a finite rate in otherwords its finite.

There is only one universe.

I ask a question for you to answer:

Where is the universe at?

A singularity could be space-time starting as a point.

That is the Big Bang. It could also be infinite density

of mass or a bunch of mass as a single dimensionless point.

I believe that singularities are violations of physics.

With the exception that if you run space-time backwards to

a begining it has obviously expanded from a singularity.

If the Big Bang was a mass singularity also its gravity would

prevent any expansion. It would be a black hole.

As Stephen Hawking has said about them: GR predicts its own

downfall by predicting singularities.

If there are no singularities then what replaces them?

Finite or Maximum Mass Density does.

In otherwords there will always be space inbetween matter

particles. I believe this is the Pauli Exclusion Principle.

Mitch -- Light Fallls --

If space is expanding inbetween galaxies then space is stretching

or growing inbetween. This is not the same thing as these galaxies

moving through space away from each other.

There is a difference.

When Einstein was asked about his Relativity he said:

when the station comes to the train.

It must be explained that the station is not moving through

any space-time to get closer to the train. It is the train alone

that accelerates(experiences weight).

Therefore relative motion exists only in potential to

the absolute movement in space-time of something else.

This means that there is no reciprocity of effect in SR.

Only the object that accelerates in space-time will

experience length and time contraction.

An object flying by the earth at very near light velocity

will not have to wait to see Earth clocks. And they all

will be blueshifted. There is no reciprocity there.

Why should there be?

Time never stops.

Where time slows in gravity light also slows. They go hand in hand.

So time for light is distorted only by gravity and not its motion.
