I just got back from my Astronomy final.. which I think I barely scraped a B.. now feel free to discover loads more stuff to be tested on

He's probably only noting that science shouldn't necessarily deal in absolutes and say for sure that the big bang is what happened when it's still up for debate, although most scientists agree it was the big bang so I guess majority rules? Not sure though. I'm more interested in what caused the big bang (and no i'm not implying god, i'm athiest).

you do know that we can pretty much see the big bang right? we can see how the universe was as a baby when our best equipment looks deep into the nightsky, we can see the ancient light of some of the earliest galaxies..

Wow @ all of the people quoting me...

You all do know circa year ~2000 the Big Bang wasn't nearly as accepted as it is now in the mainstream scientific community right? Hence my comment... It is interesting to see how far we have come in terms of the development of the Big Bang model to its near 'law' status in the science community.

They generated temperatures of more than 1.6 trillion degrees Celsius, 100,000 times hotter than the centre of the Sun.

In the process they recreated the densest material ever observed - only black holes are denser.

NOW can we finally admit global warming is a hoax?

Side Note : courtesy of google incase anyone doesn't understand.


The neutron star is something like the mass of upto 2.3 suns compressed into a ball a dozen or so kilometers in diameter. That makes the neutron star about as dense as the nucleus of an atom. Really dense stuff. Like a couple of million pounds per cubic inch, maybe. The density of the neutron star varies from "less" near the surface to many times "more" near the center.

But the black hole has infinite density. That makes it infinitely more dense than a neutron star

That's the nature of any successful theory. Heliocentrism wasn't near universally accepted before Copernicus presented his model either, but now you'd be considered crazy to argue that the Sun revolves around the earth. There's nothing really interesting about it unless you're talking about the speed at which it happened, I guess.

admit it, you purposefully set up a trap! :( some of us are so quick to pounce on any science-deniers lol.

science is never 100% confirmed. even a well established theory like relativity is still tested and re-confirmed.

the big bang (most scientists think of it as the "big expansion" resulting from quantum fluctuations now) is the best theory we currently have on the origin of the universe and there's a lot of evidence to support it. is it 100% confirmed, undeniable fact? no. nothing is. but until a better theory is presented with experimental, observable evidence, it's what scientists use to discuss the beginning of the universe.

Yeah, we can see some of the earliest galaxies, but that doesn't quite tell you the whole story. The earliest galaxies appear to be fully formed. The early universe actually appears to be quite old. It's just one of the strange puzzles concerning our universe.

The Big Bang certainly doesn't seem logical, but a lot of the observable evidence seems to indicate it. I'm not sure the absolute truth is even obtainable.

Negative. Was totally serious.

But wasn't there some other experiement these guys were trying to do a couple of years ago, and there was this big hooplah on universal annihilation or something?

Yeah. I kind of look at reality in those terms. Reality really is only how our brains perceive it.

Is a ball red? for instance. A ball is red, but also not red at the same time. It is just light reflected on to our retina. It is then converted into electrical signals and transmitted to the brain, and it's our brain that interprets that information as red. Not all animals may perceive it as the same colour, or even a colour at all. Perhaps there is a species in the universe that's vision is far more advanced than ours.

sure. there could be a species out there that can see across the whole spectrum at once (gamma rays, x-rays, UV, visible, infrared, radio) turning them on/off, combining the images produced by the waves as they want.

Yep. What is absolute reality? What is absolute truth?

It's unanswerable.
