I heard the "M" is an upside down "W" as a back hand reference with humility to the man behind the theory.
Is big bang still a theory or now a fact?
Has the posibility of alternate theories been removed?
Could the Universe be infinite...no top, no sides, no bottom no start and no end...
I feel uncomfortable with the big bang in a few respects irrespective of the infalibility of the math...
Firstly the observation that the Universe is expanding may be flawed but if expanding does such an observation entitle an extrapolation back to a point with in a split split second of the appearance of everything...
It was a seed so to speak but was everything ...what was on the outside of this seed at that time?
And in a short time thereafter the Universe moved into its "inflation" stage (a "theory" proposed by one of Withens associates Guth) wherein we are asked to entertain the prospect that from its most small beginings and in some 30 seconds the Universe expanded to near its current size..which I believe is placed at approx 160 billion light years ...well I read it on the net so who knows but it seemed plausible ...
I understand the inflation theory saved the big bang theory and notwithsatanding any math in support to think we can go from the size of a base ball to all there is now (within 14 odd billion light years) seems beyond acceptance and for me throws doubt on the theory... inflation is hardley a theory in so far it as far as I know not met standard scientific requirement for a "theory" ...
Anyways Sophie as much as folk speculate upon the Universe I doubt if we are anywheres near the truth of what it is why its there etc...
I look at the maps and cant help but think the layout is very like a blood circulatory system... maybe we are part ofd some much much larger creature even...
Junk food for though good luck with your quest for knowledge.
