When you surf the Internet, the speed is governed on a weakest link basis. It doesn't matter if you have a terabyte per second connection. It will never transfer that fast unless every server that the packets pass through operates at that speed. That's why BitTorrent works so well, because instead of operating on a chain, it operates more like (no pun intended) a web.
oh, yeah, that's the textbook definition isn't it? (the almost 100% law thing)
I hadn't been keeping up with the voyager craft business, and had been scrounging around online for that stuff! Well, I guess that "map to earth" that they stuck on one of the voyager's will be a bit innacurate, eh?
Wow, that philosophical bomb took me twice to get through.
While we can't disprove the "God Did It" theory, it IS possible to disprove the possibility of God. Plus science does not accept a theory because it has not been disproven, they accept a theory once it has reasonable proof. The only difference between a proof and a law is that a law is infallible in every circumstance, like gravity.
That's my own philisophical bomb for ya!
Oh, btw, the thing with dividing by the phase of the moon was something by physics teacher always says whenever people ask questions to things that he's written on the board and explained 10 times. Funniest guy ever...
Like I said, I was exaggerating. I DID say that scientist DO take into account the other factors. Plus there's other proof other than Red Shift, such as residual energy.
You don't just assume that, but scientist aren't idiots. You have to investigate to the point that you have reasonable proof (red shift is not the only proof of the big bang).
If you're going to question that, you'll have to quesion everything from e = mc^2 to f = ma! Perhaps the lost matter in a nuclear reaction was caused by the density, divided by the phases of the moon, disrupted by the earth's magnetic field, taking three steps to the right and standing on your left leg (it's an exaggeration, but you get my point).
I'm not, an scientists are not, saying that this is the only possible explanation of the universe. You were asking if there were any proofs about it. I was just providing you with one.
Also, you're wrong if you beleive we have an "exceedingly narrow and tiny view". We can see almost the entire universe, even back in time to the time of the big bang (because of the fact that light travels at a constant speed, and that "the cosos is so big") And if you think our view from earth is skewed, if you've taken trig, you know about triangulation, we can see it in three dimensions.
Oh, and i remember now, by analyzing data from the big bang time (you know, how we can observe back in time), there is some more evidence of such a big bang. Just remember, that if science is your religion, you have to be able to trust evidence, as well as experiments. Last time i check, a synonym of evidence was proof.
Well, several ways. For one, if you analyze Blue and Red shift, we can tell how fast stars are moving towards or away from us through the Dopplar Effect. Just because we observe mainly red shift, that means that most stars are moving away from each other, meaning that there very well may have been some sort of Big Bang that started this initial movement.
There's a lot more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

The only thing that kand generate that much electricity is my trusty urine powered battery!
Oh, wait...
"I know I've done something very wrong,"
Come on, what else could you say...
"I just stole 92 million email addresses and sold them...sorry guys, I didn't know what I was doing."

How has the Big Bang been experimentally tested?
