Harvard team has found the first direct evidence of cosmic inflation right after the Big Bang. It's more proof that the Big Bang really was the beginning of it all.




Wow. This is a huge step. Although Einstein predicted it nearly 100 years ago, no actual proof existed until now. I just wish I understood it a bit more. There are some amazing brains on this planet.

Yeah, saw it on tonights' news.

Fantastic that they can isolate something going back god knows how many years....

I wondered how long it would take someone to mention God!! I didn't expect it to be the first response.

F*****g retards, the big bang has been on E4 for yonks they could have found all the evidence they needed.
 
Another annoying discovery for the God Squad who literally believe God made the world and the Universe in just 7 days......

I was under the impression that the expansion of the universe was accelerating, with the obvious inference that the traditional model postulated by the big bang theory is either flawed or missing a pretty important piece of the puzzle.
 
There are still bits missing, VOTN, but this is an important component that needed to be there for most current theories to work. The only one that I remember didn't need this to be a fact was some Professor in Toronto. I'd have to look him up to find out exactly what.

All in all, this is a very important step, and does show that the Big Bang had to have happened. There just isn't any other explanation.

I guess then it comes down to Copenhagen or many worlds. That's the really confusing stuff! lol

I've found a bit on what I was taking about.

I hope that explains it a bit more clearly than I can. I'm not sure the Copenhagen interpretation is relevant to this particular discovery, as it relates to what we can observe after the Big Bang, not the Big Bang itself.

The question of Quantum mechanics is a whole different ballgame, but you may be surprised at some of the advances expected to be made in the next few years on even this.
 
Interesting. As you say, some amazing minds out there. That thay can extrapolate so much from the observable data and make sence of it is really quite mind boggling.
 
Proof that the universe is expanding is great - but I knew and believed this anyway, as its written in the Bible.
 
I'd love to know where that is GT. I'm not as conversant with the Bible as I would like to be. Is it stated plainly or is this an interpretation of what has been written?

Interesting. So how do you explain

Genesis 2:1: "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them."

The Hebrew word used here is the past definite tense for the verb "finished," indicating an action completed in the past, never again to occur. The creation was "finished" -- once and for all.

Now you are saying it changes? So you don't believe in a literal truth of the Bible. That is very enlightening.

Isaiah 40:

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in..

(In Hebrew the word chug is used to denote the word "circle", however due to the Hebrew language being smaller than ours, chug can also mean Sphere, infinite and circle.)

Job 9

7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

(Again in Job we also see reference to the universe as being "Spread out" or as in Isaiah "stretched out"..)

Definitions;

Sphere - a round solid figure, or its surface, with every point on its surface equidistant from its center.

Infinite - limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate.

Stretched - be made or be capable of being made longer or wider without tearing or breaking.

Spread - open out (something) so as to extend its surface area, width, or length.




 
Not that I'm disagreeing with your viwpoint GT but that is just an interpretation, it doesn't say directly that the universe, or to use Biblical parlance, heavens are expanding.
 
I had no idea that you two were so conversant with aincient forms of the jewish language.
 
Psalm 102:25-27

25 Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 They will perish, but You will endure;
Yes, they will all grow old like a garment;
Like a cloak You will change them,
And they will be changed.
27 But You are the same,
And Your years will have no end.

Obviously this is just a prayer but you can get the idea that the universe is forever growing and will one day end...

Also if you look in the Quran - Sura 51:57 We constructed the sky with our hands, and we will continue to expand it.

It gives an idea of how Mohammed understood the biblical text from Jews and Christians during the time of his life. If it was understood that "stretched" meant stretched to a finite..Why did Mohammed use the words expand and continue?
