The big bang explains the matter that is contain in the universe, but where did the big bang occur. It had to occur in a place in time and space, just didn't happen out of nothing.
That's just it, according to BBT there was no time or space before it. These things were created out of the bang.
And this is what I mean. We as humans can not conceive what was before the big bang, but in order for the big bang to happen there had to be a catalyst, yes?
These terms can get so confusing: before is meaningless if there was no time. If there is a multiverse, I believe we could conceive what was before the BB, perhaps we have already. Of course, maybe there will never be a way for us to probe between universes, so we may never know. (Wow, I feel like a wasted some time there). There are a few hypotheses of what the catalyst was, I like the branes colliding hypothesis of M theory...
So when and where does that begin and end.
I do not accept the we as human can measure this expanding space we are in, as popular science would lead one to believe.
What makes you think we cannot measure it? I'm curious. We seem to be doing a decent job at measuring the expansion of space, but I'd like to know if we're not...
We have NO idea when everything started, those are called theories, You know "what if's".
Theory is the highest form of scientific knowledge, they consist of many facts, proofs and axioms. Theory is thrown around in common usage as a mere guess or speculation, but that is a misuse of the term...
It really is a silly thing to be arguing over, I'm sure know the facts that you and the other Guy incognito guy are referring, I've taken my share of biology,physics courses in college. But there is not always such a thing as concrete proof in theoretical sciences. Again scientist know that particles can be entangled, then moved to isolated areas and once you check the polarity of one particle it automatic sets the polarity of the other particle, but scientist can not explain why. Many things out there and following Okham's razor is not always the best solution, but nor should one just give up and settle on "it's aliens", search for the truth and be skeptical of those that are content with the accepted knowledge.
Good stuff...
The other post should have read: I'll go ahead and disagree...... My grammar is horrid
I've seen a LOT worse on this board...
