The greatest success story in physics

[Into the Night]

Of course this kind of physics is hard to grasp.

Not physics or science, Sock.

The human brain did not evolve to intuitively perceive this kind of physical phenomena.

That's not science either, Sock.

The expansion is not based the particles, matter, and galaxies themselves moving away from each other.

It's the space in between the matter that is expanding.

Paradox. Irrational.

Empty space has a latent vacuum energy that causes cosmological expansion. Matter is just along for the ride.

Space is not energy, Sock.

That's how cosmological expansion can happen everywhere and all at once. Because the expansion is associated with space itself. Not from an explosion at a central point.

Space is not energy, Sock.

So you confirm T. A. Gardners model:
"There is a pool table with say, three sets of pool balls on it all sitting on pool table. All of a sudden, they fly off in all directions randomly and in no uniform manner, nor from a single point.".

"Where the center of the universe? There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 thousand million years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere. The Big Bang should not be visualised as an ordinary explosion. The universe is not expanding out from a centre into space; rather, the whole universe is expanding and it is doing so equally at all places, as far as we can tell."

Paradox. Irrational.

Something with no known boundary can't 'expand', Sock.

 

[Into the Night]

Fred Hoyle was convinced the universe was static, and he thought cosmic expansion was preposterous. 'Big Bang ' was the term he used to deride the cosmic expansion hypothesis, and we became stuck with that term

Something with no known boundary cannot 'expand', Sock.

The English language.

A galaxy is not a universe.

Galaxies are made of stars.

The Theory of the Big Bang is not science. It is a religion, usually fundamentalist in nature.

The Milky Way was the universe before 1923. You and all your socks can't grasp reality.

I don't think the universe is static. I do think what we don't know would fill a 5-gallon bucket compared to the drop or two we do know.

Of course the universe isn't static.

I agree that laypersons tend to grossly overestimate what science knows.

I told you there's no center of the universe, and it expands everywhere and at the same time.

The University of California Department of Physics told you there's no center of the universe, and it expands everywhere and at the same time.


That should clear things up.

We only discovered that there were other galaxies 100 years ago this year...

The idea of the Big Bang is only about 100 years old.

Scientific Illiteracy Hall of Fame

Space is not energy!

"Einstein was the first person to realize that empty space is not nothingness. 'Empty space' can have its own energy. This energy would not be diluted as space expands, because it is a property of space itself." (source: Harvard University Department of Astrophysics)

Nope. Photons don't "mediate" anything!

"Electromagnetism in general is mediated by photons. This is a quantum phenomenon" (source: University of Illinois Physics Department)

Nope. Higgs boson does NOT account for mass!

Higgs boson: "The existence of this mass-giving field was confirmed in 2012, when the Higgs boson particle was discovered at CERN." (source: European Center for Nuclear Research - CERN)

​

The Theory of the Big Bang is just a nonscientific theory

​

There is no such thing as a 'standard model' (of particle physics)!

​

Darwin's theory of evolution is not science

​

hint: energy and matter are not interchangeable

​

Wave-Particle duality is classical physics.

​

There is no such thing as an accelerating reference frame!!

​

What do you mean by "the standard model"?

​

science doesn't explain anything about nature!

​

That sounds right.

 

[IBDaMann]

Nope.

Empty space' can have its own energy.

Too funny. What kind of energy would that be? If empty space is suddenly filled with water, what happens to this energy of the empty space? Does it move?

The Milky Way galaxy is not the Universe. It never was. I have no socks. I don't need them.

Paradox. Irrational. You can't claim a boundary and no boundary at the same time, Sock.

Science isn't a person. It 'knows' nothing. Science is a set of falsifiable theories, Sock.

Space is not energy, Sock. You can't laugh your way out of your illiteracy. Quoting religious scripture is not science.

You are just describing yourself again, Sock.

Science is not a university, government agency, license, degree, certification, or sanctification of any kind. False authority fallacies.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Galaxies are not the universe.

My point was to emphasize what we don't know about the universe.

 

[Into the Night]

My point was to emphasize what we don't know about the universe.

The universe is unknowable, since the universe has no known boundary. You can't take a portion of infinity and wind up with anything other than infinity.

Man's observation horizon is expanding, but that is meaningless to the universe itself.

However, I do understand the nature of your post, as you were showing (yet again) that Cypress (aka The Sock) is trying to be omniscient again, claiming knowledge that no one has, or could have.
