Author | Topic: The infinite space of the Universe | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

quote: Consider how a war ship transfers its heavy tanks across the water onto the shore. The ship lays down solid physical plaforms [transit flooring], which enables the tanks to drive on the water. So space, as per ToE and all developments in nature, can lay down more space to house heavier matter, when needed, in an anticipatory mode. Interestingly, this marks a treshold between newly created space - and what was there before that space was created. This enigma of what was there before the space, applies equally to what was there before the BB, or before any mass existed. This answer has to be that whatever existed before the space, cannot be anything which is universe contained - otherwise we violate the finite factor of the universe. This means, where space does not yet exist, there is no matter, energy, forces or any other uni-contained elements. By the process of elimination, we must conclude there is an external, triggering factor here, and one which is not subject to the universe factors - because this scenario applies pre-BB, thus pre-universe. The external trigger factor applies even when one includes parallel and other universes.

Having read the three conflicting opinions about what matter is and what space is in the last messages, I've become even more convinced that my (being similar to other advocates of static boundless space) POV on space is the only correct and sensible one.
Space is area in which matter, forces and energy etc exist. The reason we don't observe nothingness space is that all space in our area of the universe has matter and forces etc occupying it. Were there no matter, etc existing, the universe would consist of only endless boundless infinite space/area in which nothing exists since this boundless area is inclusive in the term/word universe. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

How can it be correct or sensible when it is contradicted by evidence? soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

quote: How can 'space/area' exist w/o matter, and how would you determine and identify such? - what instrumentation would you use, which is not itself matter? What is water without water; - or what is a hole without the hole? It becomes semantical, as opposed science. Thus, if we can see or percieve space, even if we can imagine it - it is not nothing but something. I see space as the final frontier between the corporeal and non-corporeal, the space bed being made of the rarest, smallest, oldest, deepest forms of matter; it's particles probably have only has one side - its other side being non-corporeal, and representing only that which is not uni contained.

I agree that space is unbounded but not necessary static. If it is expanding, it can't be bound.
I'll repost the problems that appear to have no answer. When the big bang occurred there would have been a first photon released. Where is that photon today? Its had at least 14 billion years to travel.Or try to explain where photons go when they are emitted by objects at the "boundary"? Are they emitted in one direction as if the boundary was a curved mirror?

Light essence, namely a pre-star light, predated photons. Photons are a later occurence, and is the factor which produced luminosity, which is varied from light per se. Light is massless, and ageless - the latter factor disqualifies photons, which are not ageless but has a very limited lifespan.

How can something infinite be small at the same time? Easy - how many rational numbers (fractions) are there between the integers 1 and 2?

When the big bang occurred there would have been a first photon released. Where is that photon today? The first photons emitted were immediately re-absorbed. The early Universe was extremely dense and there was no free path through space for photons to travel. Even thousand of years after the Big Bang, temperatures were suffciently high that eletrons and hydrogen/helium nuclei were not combined into neutral atoms, but existed as a plasma of charged particles. This plasma was opaque to photons. About 400,000 years after the Big Bang, temperatures cooled sufficiently that the electrons and nuclei boudn together to form neutral atoms of hydrogen and helium. This period is known as recombination. For the first time in the Universe's history, it was transparent to photons. The photons from that period formed the all important cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) Those photons are still travelling through the Universe.
Or try to explain where photons go when they are emitted by objects at the "boundary"? Space has no boundary - it is either infinite, compactified back onto itself, or possibly smoothly bleeds at the edges into the higher dimensional 'bulk' space.

quote: quote: Infinite. So what does it prove? If 1 and 2 denote distance, then the distance between 1 light year away and 2 light years is greater than between 1 nanometre and 2 nanometres. When we communicate we always use consciousness and our scale of things would say that a distance of 1 light year is big and 1 nanometre is small.

Don't worry about it - it was an oblique comment from one cosmologist to another concerning the possibly ephemeral nature of distance.

cavediver writes: Huh? What was there if there wasn't space? Well either space is expanding or space exists for things like the universe to expand into. I thought you had explained to me that the smaller than pea sized universe that existed in time past with nothing outside of it only what was inside. Space, time and everything we see and do not see was inside of it. The space inside of this universe began to expand very rapidly then slowed down, and is now speeding up again. So if space was expanding between every particle (for use of a better word) there was no space for the photon to take off into.That would mean the first photon is right where it has always been. Unless of course things move in space. If that is the case then is space not expanding? God Bless, "John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."
