Karrade Krise Galatic P0RN Starz	Posted - 2008.12.08 18:51:00 - [1] Yea yea...3 threads in an hour or so. I'm bored at work what can I say? Originally it was thought that since the universe is expanding, it would snap back and be the "end" of the universe. Now-a-days it's widely believed that the universe will be ripped apart. Well...The way I look at it...take a balloon for example. It stretches as it expands, not just parts of it, the whole thing expands, even if some parts near what would be the "center" don't expand as much as the outter most parts, they still expand even to the tiniest fraction of distance. There's a few things that are different between the expanding balloon and our expanding universe. The balloon has resistances. It can't keep expanding because it has boundries, limitations, lack of material to forever expand. So what can we say about the Universe? What resistances does it have? Antimatter isn't a resistance to the expanding universe...Dark Matter is supposedly causing the expansion... So if every part of the balloon is expanding, shouldn't the same happen with the universe? I don't seem to be stretching in any way...(exaggerated example I know) All the planets are staying intact... Now one thing about this expansion that gets me is if everything came from one big bang...one sigularity...then it was just like an explosion right? No boundries, no resistance, no drag. So let just go outside the box just a tad bit here. On Earth we have explosives. We get to see these all the time. Fireworks is a great example so I'll use that. When you see a regular firework go off in the sky what happens to it? There's a great flash, and the explosion expands uniformly, slows down, and falls back to earth. Expands due to force of explosion. Slows down due to resistance to air and drag, falls to Earth due to gravity. Space is vacuum, expansion is unknown to be uniform, expansion has no resistance so is supposedly speeding up. Now then, the Milky Way is going to merge with Andromedia(sp?). Gravity of the two galaxies are bringing them together. Well, I'm not even sure how to word what I want to say for this part. The uniformity and "big bang" should cause all matter to travel in a straight direction from the source of the singularity, due to increasing expansion speed, I don't see any possible way for two galaxies to merge due to gravity unless the expansion/speed the galaxies are moving has slowed down. The further two objects travel from a single source, even at very close interval, will be significantly farther from each other with a large ammount of time. It might just be the strange way I think about things, but is it at all possible that there were multiple "Big Bangs." No, I'm not an expert on this stuff. I just like to question everything I see/hear/learn about before I actually claim it as proof, and I'm sure not all of my little ramblings are 100% true or accurate. Using comparisons isn't always the right way to go, but I have to use "something" to explain my thoughts, and thought processes. Holy wall of text I know... I have a cute little theory on why the moon has one side always facing us that supplements the common center of mass theory. Voluntold, Webcomic Podlings, EVE based Webcomic

Last Wolf Umbra Wing	Posted - 2008.12.08 20:10:00 - [9] What if our universe was a "Cell" to another organism. The Milky way and all other galaxies would be "Molecules" and Solar Systems would be "Atoms" The stars would be "Nuetrons/Protons" and Planets would be "Electrons". So in the grand scheme of things were just little insignificant dots on a single electron that makes up part of a cell on some celestial being's ass. Enjoy your meaningful life! Besides, I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Pwett Minmatar QUANT Corp. QUANT Hegemony	Posted - 2008.12.08 20:12:00 - [10] actually, nowadays an emerging theory is that the universe is flat, and therefor has the capacity to be infinite. This opens up the door to multiple dimensions existing solely due to quantum mechanics. _______________ Pwett Founder <Q> QUANT Hegemony

This opens up the door to multiple dimensions existing solely due to quantum mechanics. Interresting, I may look into this. However no matter what direction you look into space, you'll see other galaxies...So I'm not exactly sure how this theory of a flat universe is played out...Will look into it out of curiosity. :D Voluntold, New Webcomic
Pwett Minmatar QUANT Corp. QUANT Hegemony	Posted - 2008.12.08 20:54:00 - [12] It involves lasers and triangles - the interpretation is either the universe is flat - OR it has a curve that is so slight we don't have the ability to measure it. However, if it is curved, it has to have a finite size because eventually it will fold in upon itself. _______________ Pwett Founder <Q> QUANT Hegemony
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.12.08 21:09:00 - [13] In my opinion: 1. Mankind will likely be either extinct by the time this has become an issue have come along technologically to the point to either create a "bubble" to encase their civilization to survive in, find a way to stop it or move onto another dimension. 2.

I hope we get to this within the next few decades.... Originally by: Karrade Krise looks at OP looks at above post I wish I could think as simply as that... It's not simple, I just figure that's what it boils down to given what we understand about physics. We can see the past from echoes of the big bang by looking downstream with our vantage point.

I was kinda comparing how I wrote all that, and then it was simplfied with just a few sentences. But yea I totally agree with you, I'm now curious and thinking...moon orbits earth, earth orbits sun, sun orbits galaxy, galaxies...fly away from big bang? Perhaps the universe isn't really expanding, but all the galaxies are orbiting the center of the universe, so what would be at the center of the universe? A super duper massive blackhole larger than anything we could imagine? Is the universe orbiting something else with billions of other universes? Is that thing orbiting something else???? POP!

I seriously doubt that nano machines could keep the human brain running indefinitely and for that brain to be lucid, eventually something had to give be it the body or mind. All of it moot though so long as humanity has the single point failure known as earth as its only planet. Asteroid or Nova sun comes along and poof. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

Calvin Firenze Minmatar Malum Crusis IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.12.08 22:06:00 - [20] Watch this show It's kinda dumbed down so the average person can understand what they're talking about, so it really only scratches the surface of any theory. They also use pretty cgi bits and flashy lights to get their point across. It's more of a thought catalyst show than an educational show for me. The episode that discussed light speed also went into theories about how light speed might be attained by human spacecraft. They even talked about futuristic warp drives that created a bubble to warp space time and transcend the speed of light. My first thought was "I wonder if these guys play eve...?" It also went further to point out that the farthest they've been able to see is 13 billion light years away, either due to the fact that light hasn't been able to reach us from that far away, or that is the end of the universe. Interestingly enough, the spectrum at the "end of the universe" is also almost completely uniform, unlike how it would be if the big bang theory were true. Bah, I have to get ready for work... I could fill up the entire post with my thoughts but I just don't have time.

Tibilo	Posted - 2008.12.08 22:06:00 - [21] Felt i had to post in a universe thread and I always think that we just dont have the language or words to properly talk about this stuff. Anyway, here's some thoughts. There are 3 possibilities for the universe. That it will continue expanding forever, expand to a point and just 'stop' or expand to a point and then collapse back in on itself. If it collapses back in on itself then surely that would then lead to another big bang and the whole process would repeat and this would happen or has happened an infinite amount of times. Then theres the idea of parallel or membrane universes and extra dimensions. Each of these could be one of the 3 types of universe. It could be possible for these to collide with each other across dimensions and these collisions form the big bangs creating other universes. you then have an infinite amount of different universes each one either forever expanding and collapsing, forever expanding or getting to a point of motionless and all occasionally colliding with each other creating new universes. Then there's spacetime. We apparently move through time at the speed of light and the faster we move in space the slower we move in time, if there is an infinite amount of spacetime how can you move from one defined point to another.Possibly anything within an infinite universe is also either infinite or infinitely nothing/doesnt exist. Also as you have many different 'kinds' of infinity and even 'new' infinities forming. If you have an infinite universe then surely it contains or is made up of an infinite amount of spacetime and then our perception of everything having a beginning and an end is just the way our consciousness works and that in fact every possible event already exists and neither past nor future can be created but can only be discovered. Trying to imagine all of this becomes very tricky as we tend to just think of a really big number instead of an actual infinity The great thing about all of this is really it comes down to which idea you like most, or belief instead of actual fact Anyway enough ramblings

F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Celestial Industrial Alliance	Posted - 2008.12.09 06:26:00 - [24] One theory is that the universe, whether it is infinite or not, will continue to expand "forever". Not that gravity plays some part in this, so things like the Local Group, the Milky Way, Andromeda, and a few others, will be held together "forever", though some/most will eventually merge. The rest of the universe beyond the Local Group will continue to expand and be lost to us as they move beyond the range of any light (they'll be moving apart at relatively faster than the speed of light). "Forever," however, isn't as long as we think. In 10^(1+72 zeroes) years, everything of consequence will cease to exist. All Protons will have decayed, all black holes will have evaporated/dissolved, and the cosmic background radiation will have reached/approached asymptotically Absolute Zero. At that point the universe will be completely dead. Nothing will be able to exist there, not even photons, since there will be nothing to give them energy.

Taua Roqa Minmatar Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2008.12.09 07:24:00 - [25] the universe is that of creation which we can see, there is probably so, so much more 'out there', in ways and forms we simply can't dream of nor comprehend, yet still grasp at with our gods. It is just a tiny fluctuation, a fluke of infinite probability.

Sokratesz Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.12.09 12:22:00 - [28] I'd say there are two options. Either it expands forever until the density of material approaches 0. (Assuming there is infinite emptiness to expand into, see brief history of time by S. Hawking), or at some point it collapses again into a singularity which subsequently can cause a new big bang and re-start the whole process. The second option has the most 'appeal' to me though it seems impossible. The first one makes our existence here and now even more precious but conforms with the anthropic principle.

RevJim Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2008.12.09 19:50:00 - [29] I tend to agree with the 'heat-death' theory myself. The Universe will expand and stars will eventually die, all nuclear reactions will cease all energy will be used up, even photons as a previous poster mentioned. My own theory is that once this state has been reached, the universe will be an infinite expanse of 'quantum foam' which is one of the possible starting points of the big-bang... Rev
Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.12.09 22:18:00 - [30] Edited by: Janu Hull on 09/12/2008 22:19:55 Originally by: baltec1 Edited by: baltec1 on 09/12/2008 11:39:30 I think that the universe is endless and we are only limited by how far we can see. But I also think that Michael Moor made some good points in some of his films... Take that as you will. Actually, the estimated "size" of the universe is about 76 billion light years across, because of speed of light delays, we're limited to about a 13.7 billion year "event horizon" of observability. As for the impending galaxy collision, in local terms, where matter is clumped into stars and whatnot, space and time won't "expand" and tear everything apart because gravity of mass will hold it together. The increasing expansion of the universe is occurring in the supervoids between galaxy clusters where there's no mass to create gravity to counter Dark Energy. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.
