The Paradoxes That Threaten To Tear Modern Cosmology Apart
KentuckyFC writes Revolutions in science often come from the study of seemingly unresolvable paradoxes. So an interesting exercise is to list the paradoxes associated with current ideas in science. One cosmologist has done just that by exploring the paradoxes associated with well-established ideas and observations about the structure and origin of the universe. Perhaps the most dramatic of these paradoxes comes from the idea that the universe must be expanding. What's curious about this expansion is that space, and the vacuum associated with it, must somehow be created in this process. And yet nobody knows how this can occur. What's more, there is an energy associated with any given volume of the universe. If that volume increases, the inescapable conclusion is that the energy must increase as well. So much for conservation of energy. And even the amount of energy associated with the vacuum is a puzzle with different calculations contradicting each other by 120 orders of magnitude. Clearly, anybody who can resolve these problems has a bright future in science but may also end up tearing modern cosmology apart.
The only thing that's tearing cosmology apart is the gradual expansion of space.

How do you do it?
And you reply to your own post too...
I know the answer, you are a robot, I mean, I am a robot, oh god.... NO CARRIER...
void that killed the ether theory, explain why there is a limit to the speed of anything and would provide a medium of propagation for the forces without falling back to "magic" fields.
Any sufficiently advanced universe is indistinguishable from magic :-)
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
Start on page 254 of his book and work your way through as he describes the field and how it (supposedly) permeates everything.
This just instantly makes me think of "The Force."
