The Universe

[iLikeHippos]

That's just a theory. Remember that fact, every day of every second.

Just like religion is.. To me, at the very least.

Kind of like 2+2=4 is a theory?

That's a theory proven with proof. Would you like me to present it?

The universe theory, however, is not.
Unless you can pull that answer out of your ass.

Nah the only thing that comes from there is feces.
But the universe theory is suported by evidence.
Religion is a matter of personal believe that has no evidence.

How do you prove that the Universe is always expanding?

Yes, just like gravity is a theory. A theory does not mean a guess. It means....you know what you can figure it out yourself...

Dear Posters,

Please at least read the wikipedia articles on the universe, expansion, inflation, and other hot topics in cosmology, before posting lots of meaningless drivel about topics not related to your field of expertise.

Magnets! how do they fucking work!?!

Magnets! STRONGER THAN GRAVITY!

Me carrying the whole of humanity on my shoulders into the light? Right forget all about the thousands of scientists.
Kind of how you prove gravity exists - you observe evidence, find out the patterns, make a reasonable hypothesis, make a bunch of experiment to test it, submit it to the scientific community for analisys...
Anyway on the topic of universe expanding - the aforementioned in this thread: doppler effect and background radiation. Read it up.

 

[Gl1tch]

I feel compelled to link this to the thread.
FOR SCIENCE!

Oh, and on the subject of how to prove the Universe is expanding, look up "red shift"/ The doppler effect. In short, light from objects moving away from us appears as a slightly longer wavelength (which makes it look more red) than objects still in relation to us or moving towards us (those are shifted towards the blue end of the spectrum). Since almost everything in the sky is shifted a bit towards the red end of the spectrum, the logical deduction is that almost everything is expanding outwards, with the exception of some thing that are moving towards us, such as the Andromeda galaxy, but that's a different story.

The scientists don't all agree, and it's not so much been proven as it has been speculated.

Not quite, as I said read it up, it is a clear evidence that universe is expanding (no, not a proof, evidence). The argument among scientists is whether or not it's going to continue to expand or is it going to stop at some point and implode on itself.

Religion is a matter of personal believe that has no evidence.

For me, I only believe in things I see. The Universe expanding is not one of them.
However I've seen the simplicity of adding numbers together.
So it is a flawed theory in my case.

As for religion, I have nothing against it. But it isn't real to me unless I've seen it for real.

 

[Queen Michael]

As far as I can gather, the matter existing in the Universe is expanding in an infinite space. But I'm no scientist.

Not trying to argue with you or anything, but do you believe in microbes? Or atoms?
They aren't usually seen (unless you use tools, but you use tools to see doppler effect as well).

Oh, I've experienced gravity. Believe me...
*Looks at his broken kneecaps for failing freerunning*

As for the universe expanding... Have you yourself experienced it? Seen it? Touched it?
It's not familiar to my senses in any way what so ever.

For me, it's just invisibility. Bring on the papers if you must...

 

[savageoblivi0n]

*tries to contain it.....fails miserably*

very simple....i can explain everything.....


"42"

EDIT: or maybe '19' hmm...now i need to go think about this

They aren't usually seen (unless you use tools, but you use tools to see doppler effect as well).

I'm not quite sure where you are going, but I have trouble responding.

I've not seen them, only heard that they are real and that there is research behind it, etc...
It was taught in my school, so I have to believe in them to some degree and accept the fact it is real. (Not implying they're not though)

However it does bring me to a fun thought. So far I've not been taught about this "theory" as I like to call it.
Maybe it does have some flaws, and isn't ready to be presented yet.
But maybe it'll show up when I enter the University.

So happens my mother is a doctor so I've been in her office in my childhood and have seen microbes (also blood cells) with the use of a microscope for myself. Though I never see them with my eyes alone, I can and do see them given the right equipment. Some equipment showed that distant objects in space aren't still but rather move away from us - as such it isn't a crazy idea that the universe is in fact expanding, other tools have also given results that support this theory. Sure we cannot see it with our own two eyes on our level, but from our level sun looks like a small yellow circle in the sky, while it is in fact much bigger than Earth. Bottom line our senses alone can be decieving at times without proper understanding.

I don't know, yet I guess..... We'll find out eventually. Untill then, lets fix the shit down here before we get all exited.

(This also doesn't help me get to work faster : / )

Quite true, the equipment we have today can show us extraordinary things.
Such as the Immortal jellyfish from the bottom of our sea using these very equipments.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turritopsis_nutricula

Not to be a pain in the ass, but I know of no equipment yet that can zoom in to the edge of the universe; finding out for sure.

Right now we got some pretty persuasive theories... But they aren't 100% completely proven yet of date.
Else we wouldn't have thousands of scientists arguing about it, which gives me even more doubt of it all.

But right now I'm probably just speculating due to being tired.

 

[Druyn]

Simple, the universe isn't infinite.

A longer version:
It's potentially infinite in space but not in energy/mass.
Mass is spining and expanding, not the universe itself.

This guys got it here.
