Okay, so technology does shed light. What was I saying? Oh yeah... technology hasn't shed much light on the universe itself, eh? Is this a metaphor for "technology hasn't really assisted us in achieving a greater degree of understanding of our universe and it's origins?" If so, you may just be mistaken. Of course we still do not know everything, however, technology has clearly increased our level as well as our magnitude of understanding, not just of the Earth, but also of the universe. I could pull up some Steven Hawking quotes, or maybe the history of the Hubble Space Telescope and the impact it's discoveries have had if that would help... | |

Steven Hawking is wrong about the universe being created 13 billion years ago from a big bang. "our universe and it's origins" Again the Universe is eternal He also told us last week we had better leave for Mars as the Earth's life is shorter than you think. Our television signals are about 66 light years out into space. Our small space ships are just about to the end of the solar system. Hubble is looking at Galatic Clusters that are greatest distance from the Earth, but no one knows why old Glaxies are in the middle of the new fantasticly large Galaxtic Clusters. That is how much we on Earth know about the Universe! | |

Support your statements. There are two here for which I would like support (beside your own paper/manuscript/thesis/essay/connect the dots/ink blot demo...). In what way are we wrong about the proposed 13 byo estimate for the universe? If the universe is eternal, offer some hard data to support this claim. If you want to move into the bonus round, you'll even explain to me why you think Steven Hawking is solely responsible for the estimated 13 by age of the universe. | |

I still believe 100% that the Universe was not created by the big bang. (That is what my manuscript on UIDE is all about). One reason that comes to my mind is the logic that you can not create anything out of nothing- therefore the Universe must have existed prior to the big bang, and it is only a local bang. I also do not subscribe to the concept of Intelligent Design (Id) the religious theory of Creation. A god could not have been in existance before the "big bang" unless the Universe was. FRIPRO | |

However, all the evidence that FRIPRO is able to muster is entirely circumstantial. He has obviously invested a lot of time (and himself) in this and apparently does not realize the "gap" between what he is doing and what needs to be done to have this be even a marginal "scientific theory". I think the high regard he has for astrology pretty much says it all.

| Curious | Re: Universe's, Intelligent Design alright lets think about all this... When it comes to matters of God, there are bound to be some things that we just cannot comprehend. Was there someone to create everything in existence? Well then where did this person come into existence? its a valid argument, but when we try to explain eveything in ways that 'make sense', its easy to forget what is actually real. the fact is not everything makes sense. Bumblebees are too heavy for their wings to be able to lift them, but they can anyway. science will never figure out how the universe was created because it would require evidence from before it existed. if nothing existed back then, then how did the universe even form? well, it's kinda like i said...we are incapable of understanding EVERYTHING about the myseries of this world. We'll never figure all of it out. Some things are better left a mystery. whether or not you agree or know where I'm coming from, I'd appreciate no judgements or disdainful comments. |

I just wanted to present you with some very bad news. Science has figured out how the bumblebee flies. Yes. It seems that we were using models of bird wings--with wing area, flapping speed, total weight to be carried, flying speed. Would not work. Only in the last 10-12 years have we successfully videod the bumblebee in super-slow-motion. Its wings do NOT flap like a birds!!! We were using the wrong model. Its tiny wings actually "sweep" the air off its back so fast that a partial vacuum forms over its back. It's this low pressure zone that holds the bee in the air. Once the computer models were built to simulate THIS (and not a flapping bird wing), the numbers all worked out! The bumblebee produces more than enough lift to fly. The lesson here is that mysteries are often just a product of our incomplete understanding or a misdirected approach. The universe (so far) is explanable in natural terms. Are there still mysteries? Oh, yes! And there probably always will be. But the mysteries of a hundred years hence will be different from our mysteries today. Should some things be better left a mystery? No. There is no justification for this at all, except perhaps, out of fear that "knowing the answer" will somehow pose a threat to one's belief system.
