0742Sheff Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 If science as we understand it is correct, everything in the universe came from one tiny point around 14 billion years ago. Therefore, aliens would be more like distant relatives rather than, well, er ... aliens. It actually went in to the big bang for a while. It suggested that nothing actually went bang, everything just 'came in to existence'. Similar to the way that steam turns solid when it cools down. I struggle to get my head around the big bang theories at the best of times. He did keep on saying 'as we understand it at this moment'. I don't think we will have any answer to this one for a long time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It actually went in to the big bang for a while. It suggested that nothing actually went bang, everything just 'came in to existence'. The "Big Bang" name was actually given as a mocking, derogatory name for a hypothesis with no evidence and no credibility. It was only many years later that evidence turned up and it became an established theory, and by then the name had stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 What evidence is that? I thought there was 0 evidence of the universe' creation at this moment in time and any theories up to now have all been educated guesswork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I was watching a program the other day and, during it, they showed a cross cut section of a meteorite. They found the usual stuff in there such as Iron and Carbon but they also found amino acids. Since amino acids are thought to have been the very first building blocks of all life on Earth, i was wondering if we might have actually arrived on a comet and are in fact, to a certain extent, aliens on this planet. Would we have the right to claim this is our planet if an alien race were to land here in the future? Any alien with a scrap of common sense would avoid this planet like the plague.

HeadingNorth Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 What evidence is that? Chiefly, microwave radiation left over from the occurrence. A group of scientists were busily working out what frequency of radiation would be left behind, if the "Big Bang" had actually occurred; once they had calculated it, they were just about to start looking for it when another team of scientists got in touch with them saying that they were receiving mysterious radiation from every point in the Universe at one particularly frequency, and could anyone think of an explanation for it. The frequency of radiation they were receiving was exactly, to the letter, what the calculations said should be found as a Big Bang aftermath. Once that was established, all other hypotheses bounced into the dustbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 ... i was wondering if we might have actually arrived on a comet ... Some may have arrived on a Comet ... but recently, more have arrived in the backs of lorries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't actually explain the big bang, or should i say, what went bang. I think it is becoming clearer exactly what happened after the initial 'bang' and your information above does agree with what i watched (although they used light to determine time scales etc, instead of radiation).

Time and space didn't exist until after that point, so talking about where it happened and what caused it is entirely meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was meaningless there would be no one trying to figure it out. If you accept that space and time didn't exist, you are surely going over the lines of divine intervention are you not?
