The Universe is Infinite ,
to limit our discussions to the known universe ,
is to pretend that we are incapable of any meaningful conclusions or debates ,
its a bit of an insult , and while you may see yourself in that light ,,??
Actually spot-on as I see myself in the light of philosophy now and now we've given-up the kind of pointless metaphysics you are indulging in, especially when it's philosophically contradictory and meaningless, e.g. what you've just written above.
I don't see myself as being limited to what I am told is real , by the main stream consensus ,
the movement you say , do you have any proof that the movement is real ,,???
not just a theory , any actual facts that prove the universe is expanding ,
we have the red shift , olbers paradox , the CBR ,
none of these are proof , they are theories , and not very good ones ,
I have found red and dead galaxies , that are just one example of facts that don't fit the theory ,
'You' have found fuck all. Cosmologists have found such things, you've just goggled to find things to suit your religion/science conspiracy.
If you think the theories are not very good ones then your path is clear, become an astrophysicist or cosmologist and prove them wrong. As its exactly because of epistemology that we don't do metaphysics they way you are attempting anymore, as the newtonians made a, so far, unassailable case against it.
so as usual they re-invent science to make the new data fit the bbt ,
Of course!! Thats what a theory is there for, to be amended in the light of new data. If it becomes unfittable then the theory will have to be dropped. What they are doing is Science not reinventing it.
"SOMEHOW" these galaxies have raced through their life cycle in just 3 billion years ,
our earths older than that ,
so when they come up with this somehow ,
will people just accept it because they said so , because it fits the theory and Einsteins maths prove it ,,???
What are you talking about?
I'm picking people are less likely to see through the political spin of the modern era ,
You live in a stoner world, try becoming an astrophysicist and actually proving your ideas.
than they are the ancient spin of religion ,
so we will be spinning in it for centuries ,
just think of it like religion ,
it is easy now to look back at religion as a joke , for me any way ,,,!!!!
Thats because you live in a nice safe world. Made so by these scientists that you decry.
I think we will look back at the nearly 100 year old bbt ,
as a joke to , but most of you are being very reluctant ,
most of you are pretty slow on the uptake ...
More pointless speculation. If the theory is to be abandoned it won't be by the likes of you.
