  1. Preface of my understanding: While galaxies may be moving, they are primary enacted upon by the expansion space. while a galaxies standard motion accounts for some redshift, most redshift derives from the expansion of space. Primary questions: 1. I am not entirely sure how space itself expanding impacts the frequeency of light, does it smear out light of the expanded area? 2. As space expands there is now more space TO expand therefore causing the acceleration we see. So can we observe the redshift of the most distant galaxies getting more and more red the further they get... if indeed the further they are the faster they go?(i.e. measure redshift today, come back next year and it's further redshifted?)
  2. Lightening on Earth produces a very specific RF. Would that RF be influence by the medium in which it was produced? I know the color of the light is... and just another EM frequency. As i understand it the RF signal strength is strong... compared engineered transmitters. Could we not "listen" for those transmission and decipher some of the atmospheric information transmitted? I know on the cosmic scale its a week signal... but it's a shot in the great vast dark.
  3. http://audio.wnyc.org/radiolab_podcast/radiolab_podcast081208.mp3 According to Mr. Green our universe is a quantum flux in the the inflaton field... and that section of the field gave up its energy to kickoff our universe. Could the expansion of the universe be thought of as an injection of entropy into our universe to dilute the energy enough to allow it to fall back to ZERO charge? so it may just dissolve to nothing some day? no hope of anything left behind. I know i am very layman i know... just trying to understand.
  4. Have you ever read The Dark Beyond the Stars? It's about a generation ship. built to house a human colonly for thousands of years. Sure it is SF but it is the most realistic approach we are capable at the moment.
  5. If gravity is strength 1 then EM is 10^39... correct? what is the strong force compared to to those two? gravitys stength is an inverse square of the distance. what is the equivelent notation for the strength of the STRONG FORCE? wasnt sure if there was a shnazzy relationship to the area of effect were gravity has a relative fall-off of 10^39 while the EM has a fall-off of 1 and etc for the strong force. Hope i explained the well enough... I wasnt sure how to phrase that to search the forum.
