In this case kind of the reverse, if it wasn't occuring we'd be flash fried Isaac Send a noteboard - 28/07/2013 05:17:22 AM

I mean if we didn't have this weird unknown force that drives the Universe apart then there's literally no Universe, be it small steady state with finite stars to infinite steady state that does either flash fry us or smash us together while flash frying us. It's disturbing because it literally requires a constant shoving force which we don't even vaguely understand the motive power for to allow a Universe which is even feasible. Olber's Paradox BBQ or Big Crunch before you even expand are the only options.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I, in turn, always wondered how black holes would permit gravitons to function. Joel - 11/08/2013 09:37:39 PM 676 Views
They don't, yet they obviously do, that's the whole problem Isaac - 11/08/2013 11:08:35 PM 674 Views
