Best Ball Ever?
« on: January 31, 2006, 10:13:00 AM »
Is this years ball likely to be the best ever? If not, when was your best ball? (This is my first pointless waste of time post. Is it in the right format? Or should it be more meaningless?) Oh and is this what this section of the board is for?

Quoting a meaningless post for no reason is more meaningless than the original meaningless post, by definition.

You want advice on how to be meaningless and how to time waste, you have come to right place. However the training will not be hard and will depend on me actualy doing anything.

I have problems with the Big Bang, maybe I am just stupid but I find it very hard to get head around it. I here oh big bang theory and go( in my head of course) do you actually understand it cause I don't. Evolutionary theary is easier to grasp. Just a thought anyone want to explain it to me, I am willing to listen.

I don't think it's something people can truly "understand". However, that does not mean we do not know that it happened: the physical evidence points to it - the red shift of receeding galaxies as well as the cosmic background microwave radiation. Not to mention a whole host of other particle theories that explain the composition of the stars almost exactly as they appear today. It is still a theory however and is subject to refinement.

As for the explaining it to you part. Well that's a tad difficult but the one thing to remember (and this is the hard part) is that the Big Bang was not the expansion of the Universe into some other space (just as a balloon might expand to fill a box), but an expansion of space itself. In 2D you can picture it by drawing a galaxy on a balloon and then blowing it up. What happens to your drawn galaxy is what's happening to space-time, but in 3D.

Understand, no, but visualise and accept based on the evidience, yes. For the best intro on the Big Bang, and one of the best popular science books in general, read SImon Singh's "The Big Bang".

Did I help?!

I was once asked by a Born Again Christian (who believes absolutely that  the Bible is the truth and therefore evolution is wrong) -

"If space is a vaccume and there is no noise, why is called the Big Bang?"



I didn't have an answer for her, but maybe Colin does???

They have things traced back to within less than a second of the Big Bang but they haven't managed to pin the actual bang down yet...
String theory could be an answer. It's all about the 11th Dimension. If I had an M for every theory...

clever, but pointless. I probably would have stuck to the high ground and slagged his/her spelling of vacuum.

A similar question comes from that line of thought, though: If it's an infinitely small point, why is it even called Big?
