    This is all hogwash.

    At least that much of your theory is correct.

    God is the fundamental reason for why the universe didn't became a black hole in the early stages after the Big Bang

    I can stated with equal evidence and authority that the stray cat I almost ran over yesterday is the fundamental reason for why the universe didn't become a black hole in the early stages after the Big Bang.

    Be glad I missed him.

    Ok, let's hear it.

    [clears throat] "the stray cat I almost ran over yesterday is the fundamental reason for why the universe didn't become a black hole in the early stages after the Big Bang."

    So to extrapolate from the TFA: The laws of physics do not exist in a vacuum...

    There's a difference between 'a vacuum' and 'nothing'.

  6. Re:Big Bang is RELIGION on Why the Universe Didn't Become a Black Hole · · Score: 2

    Can't you folks see it is just religion disguised as science, how it implies a divine hand?

    No, you're thinking about the Divine Monkeyspank hypothesis, which is indeed religion, but not disguised as science.

    p.s. - Your troll score is: 0

  7. Re:Because of the expansion on Why the Universe Didn't Become a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    The only kind of new part was the bit about not becoming a black hole if it should re-collapse.

    Which he stated, but did not attempt to explain.

    I always wondered why collapsing matter would drag space with it. After reading the link, I still do.

    This was the best series on TV.

    The more you like a show, the more you should hope no one decides to revive it.

    True, and it looks like we'll never have another Star Wars movie.

    Probably you whooshed me, but Disney bought rights in 2012 and has the first of a sequel trilogy in production and scheduled for release next year.

    (Then we'll probably get presequels...)

    So... what 2000s /2010s series will be rebooted (but should not)?

    If the currrent trend continues, I'd say "all of them".

  11. Re:Electric Universe on Do Dark Matter and Dark Energy Cast Doubt On the Big Bang? · · Score: 2

    I believe that there is some wiggle room, looking at the electric universe theory.

    Actually, Electro-Temporal Unification Theory shows that "electric universe" and "timecube cosmology" make the same predictions at the critical energy density point in 8-space, and is in good accord with all available evidence.

    Unfortunately the paper was publised by a certain Jack N. Withya, so most cosmologists haven't bothered to read it.

    NO don't mod up.
    AC is ignorant of science, the techniques used and is simple batting around the stupid 'It's only a model' fallacy.

    There are only so many arguments people can make when they don't like what scientists discover about the universe.

    Only the size of Connecticut? So, nothing to worry about?

  18. Re:So? on Man-Made "Dead Zone" In Gulf of Mexico the Size of Connecticut · · Score: 1

    This has been going on for a long time. It's due to drainage of basically the Great Plains out into the Gulf. Lots of fixed nitrogen from fertilizers in that these days. That nitrogen stimulates a variety of organisms that also use oxygen. Which there really isn't all that much of in water.

    The only way you are going to stop it is to find a different method of raising food for the world. Hint: current organic methods doesn't do it - too labor intensive and yields suffer.

    Or you could have less people.

    Don't worry, in ~20 years the aquifer will run dry and the entire Great Plains will become the new Dust Bowl. Problem solved.

    (Except for finding something to eat. Maybe there will be enough shrimp for breakfast).

    Einstein had trouble with basic math as a child. His teachers thought he was an idiot. You have to wonder how many "smartest" never happened because they got beat up on the schoolyard and gave up on their dreams.

    I thought getting beat up on the schoolyard is what makes them pursue their dreams.

  22. Re:Dumb question on US Intelligence Wants Tools To Tell: Who's the Smartest of Them All? · · Score: 1

    What's 'national security'? I mean, is there a rigorous definition of it?

    When you listen to public officials talk, they never talk about defending our lives or our freedoms, but always about defending our "national interests".

    And of course, that means whatever policymakers and their pwners want it to mean. If they think bombing some peasants halfway around the world will help keep toilet paper affordable, it's a national security issue.
