Thread: pulsating universe

If it explains everything, then you must have some sort of mathematical equations to show it scientifically. I don't understand how you can talk like that about things you most likely don't even understand. Unless you're a physicist (if you are I'm sorry).

I mean look at every religious person on the globe. It's common sense that the world created the universe in 7 days etc. I like it how you say the same. Oh well... Common sense beats science every day.

Of course I have: http://www.glafreniere.com/matter.htm

What makes you think I don't understand? I've studied physics, but what does it matter if the theory I'm proposing here is completely different?! Everyone can understand. You don't need to know anything about physics at all, because this is a new theory. It's like you're saying I need to be a christian in order to understand the Koran...

The earth is created in 7 days = common sense? Maybe in America such a thing is possible. Here in Europe there has never been an argument about creationism and evolution. Because nobody ever took the 7 day creation litterally. In America, both sides take it litterally. One side claims the Bible is full of bullshit because the earth couldn't have been created in 7 days, the other side claims the Bible is the exact word of God down to the very letter. Both sides don't seem to get it.

I said that because many just verbalize their ideas without any regard to the scientific method. It's wrong to have prejudice though, I'm sorry.
I wanted to say that common sense is relative and that it shouldn't be used when trying to portray a point. There is just about everything which is common sense for somebody.

Yeah indeed good point, everything could be common sense.

Chayba don't pretend to understand astrophysics; you don't.

Dark matter and dark energy are a conceptual kind of matter which do not interact with electromagnetism (so are not easily observed). They are a mathematical necessity to explain the anomalous rotational speeds of galaxies and other phenomena, as they would provide extra gravitational force. There's about 74% dark energy and 22% dark matter in the universe.

The aether has been completely disproved. The Michelson-Morely experiment did this over 100 years ago. Einstein's theories of relativity were then developed in order to be consistent with a lack of aether; there are only relative positions in space. There is no immobile aether in which everything has an absolute position.

oh i thought it was the other way round

Personally, one of the reasons I believe in parallel universes is because of dark matter.

My theory explains gravity, your theory doesn't. As long as you can't explain gravity except for the three word explanation of "bending of space-time" you shouldn't be so confident that your theories are correct, because you don't even have a theory for gravity. Don't you get it?

To me, you're very much like one of those people of the Dark Ages that keeps shouting that the earth is flat. It's nothing but rusted beliefs based on nothing. But ok I'll admit you're intelligent enough. After a while, when you understand science more, you will eventually come to the same conclusions as me.

Go on then.

And even if you did attempt; I've already said that your aether theory is completely contradicted by actual empirical evidence. I think you're the one who doesn't get this science business.

General relativity predicts gravity perfectly from a very small set of axioms.

That's actually a myth, it was common knowledge that the Earth was round since the Greeks proved it scientifically. It's pretty obvious anyway. The Earth casts a round shadow on the moon and a ship's mast falls below the horizon before the body of the ship.

isnt that sort of string theory? according to string theory there are like 12 other dimentions or something.

No.

Parallel universes are not 'other dimensions', although laymen or science fiction films sometimes use that word.

The extra dimensions in string theory are not extra universes, they are extra spacial dimensions; it's completely different.
