woolyhead Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Good answer, Cyclone, at least so far as I'm concerned. It makes sense to me. And I have read somewhere that the universe inflated at many times the speed of light and this was possible partly because it didn't do it in spacetime because there was no spacetime at the time . Thanks for the discussion, Woodview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. Simples. Assuming that the expansion was linear. Assuming there was a BigBang in the FIRST place. Not ALL scientist believe in that 'Theory'. And that's just what it is, a Theory. Until it is Proven, it will stay as just a 'Theory.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodview Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 4 minutes ago, FinBak said: No...I don't need to. The meaning of the term scientific theory(often contracted to theory for brevity) as used in the disciplines of science is significantly different from the common vernacular usage of theory.[4][Note 1] In everyday speech, theory can imply an explanation that represents an unsubstantiated and speculative guess,[4]whereas in science it describes an explanation that has been tested and widely accepted as valid.

'A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results' So, how does that compare to your usage of the word?

FinBak Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Ok....BUT...... The 'BigBang' ' Theory' is NOT Testable...It's can't be verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your scientific credentials to make such a statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
