Something like this question may be answerable. Time is a property of our universe, and it began when the universe began, so the concept of "before" isn't easily defined. However, if theory and experiment ultimately support the existence of one or more hyperuniverses, then the _cause_ of the Big Bang in that larger context could be understood, even if "before" isn't exactly the right way of putting it. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com

For a statement like "time is a property of the universe," to have any meaning, one must understand the universe is by definition all that exists. Time certainly exists. Further, time is linear. Examine any historical timeline. And a line has no beginning, and no end. So time had to continue forever before the Big Bang. > >>>>> and it began when the universe began, so the >>>>> concept of "before" isn't easily defined. >>>> >>>> Totally warped thinking, to think time did not >>>> exist until the Big Bang.

What other kind of force could cause all galaxies to move away from a central point? It must have been a superpowerful force, to motivate all matter that exists.

O.K., then maybe the universe was a cloud of vapor, that just sort of moved out in all directions, becoming everything? That just doesn't sound possible, since we are talking about a wispy expansion as becoming all that exists. >>>> What set off the bang! >>>> Something in time. >>> >>> Something OF time, yes. >> >> In time, of time, both the same here. > > No. One presupposes that time is distinct from this Universe.

That is to say just because ones imagination or knowledge cannot concieve of or understand the necessary process, does not mean it does not exist. >> There is no unique "central location" in the direction we are moving >> from.

Not to mention the analogy is so broken its laughable. Nevertheless: experimental evidence points to time being a fundamental property of the universe. Theoretical models fit this idea too. There's absolutely no evidence at all for it existing except in the universe. There's no call to invoke such an idea to explain any known phenomena. >> No. "Big Bang" is a misnomer that has carried on for years. > >The running thought is that some primordial atom exploded somehow, Running amongst whom?

Nothing that hurtled from any location, for one thing. In the instant of the creation of the universe, time and space came into being.

No, I run mostly counter to scientific views. Scientists are what are keeping us in Earth orbit 37 years after landing a man on the Moon. We should have long ago started traveling to the stars and beyond.

No, it is scientists that are keeping us in Earth orbit. They tell us it would take many generations to reach a nearby star, and we blindly believe it. Actually, with current technology...we could get to the nearest star in about 4 weeks. The Space Shuttle could get there if you souped up its engines, in about 4 weeks. It just could not land, unless the Centaurians allowed it to land on one of its desert landing strips. > > (figures from NASA's budget request to congress, and the White House's > website, both docs freely available on the 'net, 1.6Bn and 401Bn > respectively so if you don't like em, blow the prez not me). > >>We should have long ago started traveling to the stars >>and beyond. > > I agree. if you have a spare trillion dollars, sign me up. It would not take trillions of dollars. Just a little ingenuity. And you could go. Space travel is really very simple. A lot simple than our scientists like to make us think.

All you have to do is look at the planets, to know that it is the nature of objects that move fast enough to constantly accelerate. The Sun's gravity is a force of constant acceleration. Planets must counter that force by a constant acceleration force of their own. It's simple. If planets by going fast enough constantly accelerate, so will a space ship from Earth constantly accelerate, if it only initially goes fast enough. And you could get to Alpha Centauri in about 4 weeks.

For some reason [that I can't figure out myself], I believe that time did exist before the BB and that BB was as you say "an event that occurred at a certain point in time". AFAIK, the BB was the most major event known to science, however it does not mean that BB was the start of time.

That's not true. Everything we know about physics breaks down very close to the BB, including time. Time is generally seen as a component of our universe just as the spatial dimensions are. It really makes no sense to consider time as something which existed "before" the BB, anymore than it makes sense to consider space as having existed. As sentient inhabitants of _this_ universe, our intuition is shaped by its laws, and we have a hard time separating causality and time. But there is no reason there has to be a "before" the BB in any sense that we can grasp non-mathematically. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com

However, what you said, was a just a technically speaking, whether, it allows to turn around a possible similarity betweem a biolology matter and the universe itself, whether, as for instance, any biochemical process and extremelly any environmental conditions, as for instance, along their combinations, which would determine any reactions as any overreaction along the universe.

Yes, gravitational potential energy is equal in magnitude to the total energy contained in both matter and anti-matter and other forms (kinetic energy, binding energy, etc.). Since the gravitational energy is negative, the total is zero. George

Quite correct but it explains why there isn't a need for infinite energy to create the infinite amount of matter in the universe, the total is zero overall. What I say above is a prediction of many of the relevant competing models. George
