Go buy this book:

"Before the Beginning" by Martin Rees. It is RIGHT up the alley of the shit you are wanting to know more about. Seriously, order it up on Amazon right now and read it. Even if you are busy, make time. Your future posts will be MUCH more worthwhile for having read it. This is the first cosomology book I recommend to everyone, and I've read a lot of them.

Yeah you're right about the physics although it may only be relative to the spread of space in an area. It's possible certain areas of space might not be "stretched" so to speak to a neutral position after the explosion.

However, the important thing to note is the three objects in the universe and yes I'm using the term universe before the big bang because it's probably cycling.

There's the gigantic black hole in the center which basicly has all matter sucked into it. Space and the outter edges of the universe, whatever that's comprised of I have no idea. It does stretch though.

The space can't be sucked into the black hole but can be compressed which it is since the inner walls of the universe are right next to the gigantic black hole.

Once space reaches it's maximum ammount of compression boom. At this point however there would have to be no galaxy's no stars, no planets nothing. Just space.

Good, but Before the Beginning is perfect for this discussion (discusses the conditions in the few nanosecods or less after the big bang).

Is that his latest? I've read some of it but it wasn't mine and I didn't get a chance to finish.

I should go buy it though it was really interesting.

Nothing in space sucks anything. Nothing in nature is ever "sucked."
STOP USING THE WORD SUCK!!!

heh.

Can you guys imagine what would happen if what he says can change the future?

Well, time travel is permitted (to the future) by relativity....perhaps to the past by wormholes...

Tell me something kracus, when you're thinking up this funky ass shit is it like your thoughts are like a piece of wet slippery string endlessly disappearing down a plughole, and posting them here is the only way to hang on to them for more than 3 seconds? I'm curious...

Yeah... I can't really buy anything online but I'll check a local bookstore and see if they have it. Sounds interesting.

the thing where the end of the univerce is the beguinning of the univerce :icon20:

I recently saw Hawking's Brief History of Time on video and it was quite interesting, it also talks about his life a bit and how he came about different theories. I liked how hawkings first thought that if the big bang contracts then time will go back in reverse.

You can be at two places at once if you ever reach the end, kind of mind boggling.

You know when I think up this crazy stuff I'm usualy pretty stoned. When I'm stoned I try to see what things would look like based on the way they function but not in the conventional sense. Take air for an example since it's less complicated.

I try to see how air would flow around you as you walked through the room. To see air as maybe a yellow mist you can't see through but that way you can see how it moves about.

I try to envision gravity the same way

Electrons can be in two places at once, we can't. Atoms can as well, even some decent sized molecules.

I am not sure you worded that statement correctly, either.

I'm no Kracus but from I understand you can never reach the end of the universe because it always repeats so technically you can eventually reach a point where your physical self will be in two places at once.

I heard that from some documentary, could be wrong.

oh you heard?

yea im sure sommeny from round here can splain the universe n all to us ey eheh

Again, trying to refute some of this is difficult because it is just so...wrong.

So you believe that there was no universe and at some point it just spontaniously came into existance? Logicaly i cant follow that so i was hoping you can elaborate, i mean i can see how it could happen, but then we are talking about god and creations of universes dont you think?

Everything in the universe creates a warping of space which in turn creates gravitional pull, according to einstein and others, this in turn with the big bang theory lead me to believe that at some point the gravitational pull will become more previlant the the outward force of the big bang and slow the racing away of the universe and gradualy pull everything back. The universe has always existed and always will probably.

To sum up, im along with the crunch and ban idea. Im wondering how you can think anything different.

You misread my post. Kracus said that before the big bang the universe was something...I told him that 'our' universe didn't exist before the big bang.

I like the cyclical idea, but it will all depend on whether or not we are part of a runaway universe, or if gravitational forces ultimately begin drawing everything back together. At this point we don't have enough evidence (as far as I know) to really say (with any degree of certainty) which will happen.

I am trying to avoid diverting into the realm of philosophy here--into "the what came before the big bang?..then waht came before that...then what came before that?" line of questioning.

I don't think anyone knows, so it's stupid to argue what was before our universe.

I agree it's stupid to argue about it but it's not to discuss it.

The chances are that what we know now is probally wrong and that over time our theories will change. I guess it doesn't really matter what people think, I've always questioned what was before and how did it all happened but I will probally never know the answer so I gave up on discussing it just like to know the general theories and what not.

Yeah but probing things like this eventualy lead to new discoveries. I'm not saying I'm going to discover them but someone probably will.

True, but they won't be going to q3w to look for the answers now will they.
