So they say about the Creation of the Cosmos. Isn't that imagination interesting?

  It's true, if you take out all space, you are left with all quarks which are the billionth the size of an atom... they don't know if there's anything smaller than quarks. It's like we're all just made of air... hot air in some cases. Even the air itself is full of particles.

  The imaginative powers of the human mind are limitless, aren't they? Even another universe that has a single intelligent entity with a lifespan extending to eternity both ways and that decided one day to make this one. Worse is that the tale has existed for millenia without a single shred of evidence to support it!

  How long has 'Facebook' been around?
  
  I do not see governments around the world funding a collaborated research project to gift this service of connectivity to the entire world ~ that we now call Facebook. It was the private effort of an individual. And if you follow the line of conversation with Zark Zuckerberg at 'zeitgeist ~ it becomes pretty clear that he wasn't at all sure about the practicality of Facebook. It was just a faint idea that he had conceived somehow.
  
  Now, human beings had needed something like Facebook from the day one that they landed into this world.

  The need for connectivity is something more basic than the need for the evidence of God's existence. 'Facebook' is a very recent invention. But the need for something like Facebook existed from the beginning when human beings were engaged in a social life. But these things occur in a linear order. Without the inventions of 'personal computer' and the 'internet' ~ no one could've imagined the possibility and existence of something like 'Twitter', 'Instagram' or 'Facebook'. These things (significantly) owe their existence to the 'collective learning' of humanity.
  
  I am trying to establish the fact the God is a part of the totality of the reality that we inhabit. It's quite like the scenario of convincing aborigines that a city like LA or Las Vegas exist in the same world where they live in. They might only believe you if you show them a video or photographs of these places. And there is still much doubt how much even these (photographic) 'evidences' would convince them.
  
  People have always demanded 'strong' evidence for God's existence from people who worship this 'entity'. But you can not get that evidence in a single day. I am saying that it's possible to prove that God exists. But my knowledge owes much of its existence to the 'collective learning' of humanity and what people discovered much before I was around this planet. It has been a linear progression. And just as Facebook is unimaginable without pc and the internet ~ likewise I can't imagine to be standing where I'm now without the the events and people who came here much before me, and affected the world the way that we know it now.

  Interesting but vain...meaning that it will serve no useful purpose.
  Why, because the question is comes from a place of ignorance of exactly what creation above the universe actually is.
  Then it is inevitable that they would put turtle upon turtles, which this question implies.
  No matter how awesomely small something is, cut it half and you get something smaller.
  
  Creation for it to be creation must be stable.
  So when one behold an unstable heaven and an unstable earth, and say ah this it's creation,
  Then it is obvious that that one's truth is a lie and their creative good is false.

  Umm. Not quite. Although unproven as of yet, the concept of a Planck length seems to fit all we know of space.
  
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_length
  
  Meaning that there is a limit to how small a length is possible. Cutting a thing that small results in the same size; it is not possible to be any smaller than 1.616199(97)×10−35 metres.

  Heat and pressure will do wonders in nature. Put too much hydrogen under too much heat and pressure and you light a nuclear fire, creating energy. Put too much energy into too small a space and you make hydrogen (we think - as far as I know we've never done it).

  I have no idea what FB has to do with it... but my husband was telling me a fascinating story about the fact that when the earth was created, it happened faster than the speed of light. It took an accountant to discover this. Scientist couldn't come up with the right equations... it never fit. Until this accountant took out the speed of light variable and just did the math... and it matched up. The scientists said it was impossible, that nothing moved faster than the speed of light, but this was before there was even light. Sorry for the lousy retelling, but it was really interesting.

  We typically think of space as expanding from the edge (I do anyway), but what if the expansion was from the center? What does that say about the speed of light in already existing space that is being forced away from the center by new space being created/expanded?
  
  Or, if the space containing light is expanding itself and carrying the light with it, what does THAT say about the speed of light?
  
  Just tossing concepts and thoughts...

  Relativity is a difficult concept for most (me included) to wrap our heads around. Was the initial expansion before light? It's a difficult concept to grasp for the vast majority of us, for example one would think that if protons are traveling at the speed of light in one direction in the LHC and protons are traveling in the other direction at the same speed it would be like a colision at twice the speed of light. But I'm told that's not the case.

  wildernessposted 8 years agoin reply to this
  LOL - yes, it is a very difficult concept to grasp. I'm not confident at all that I have a grasp on it.
  
  But think of two trains travelling at the speed of light in opposite directions. If they collide it would be not like 2 trains colliding, but like 100 trains colliding. The energy goes up, but not the speed, in other words (it's not 4 trains colliding because the relationship is not linear and 100 is just a number grab).
  
  But beyond that - if they start 1 light year apart do they collide in 6 months or 12? I can't answer that and don't understand how to explain a 6 month figure in terms of what one train engineer sees except that time changes as well (and they hit in a matter of seconds, not months).

  Rad Manposted 8 years agoin reply to this
  Here is the difficult part of for me. If the trains miss each other on one has a speed radar gun and if the one with the speed radar gun points it at the other does the gun not say twice the speed of light?
  I mean if a cope is travelling at 40 miles per hour and someone is traveling at 40 m/ph in the opposite direction doesn't the radar gun say 80 miles per hour? Does the radar gun know it's traveling at 40 miles per hour? It sometimes seems logic get thrown out the window, but deeper thought rather than intuition tells us the truth.

  wildernessposted 8 years agoin reply to this
  No, it doesn't say 2XC. It doesn't say anything because the extreme high energy photons hitting have burned it out. Or because it cannot receive signals at double the frequency it was designed for.
  
  Or so I understand. That's the crux; that the energy level (frequency) goes way up, not the speed. It's why we see red shifted galaxies moving away from us; the light reaching us is travelling at the normal C, but the frequency we detect has shifted down (or up for those stars moving towards us).

  Not really. Ever have a low flying plane go over at high speed? At an air show a B2B went over at just a few hundred feet and near the speed of sound. We didn't hear it until very nearly on top of us (whereupon it was deafening), but then we didn't expect to, either. The speed of sound (at a given air density, temperature, etc.) is also unchangeable. The frequency very definitely changes though - we detect that every time a train goes by!
  
  So the sound emitted by the speeding plane doesn't travel any faster than that emitted by a stationary one. At that point the analogy breaks down because we CAN go faster than the speed of sound and because there is no time dilation to confuse us as observers also travelling at high speed.
  
  *edit* and yes, instinct (and intuition) are infamous for wrong answers.
