advanced string theory

[Oneironaut]

What The Bleep Do We Know and The Secret are both full of shit. Sorry to burst your bubble, guys, but you can't change the physical universe just using your thoughts. It doesn't work that way. If you want to change things, you can only do it by controlling your muscles with your nervous system. You can't think the world better. You have to actually get up off your ass and do something.

I would recommend this rant if you want to learn more about how The Secret is BS.

I believe in the big bang theory also.

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." :jointsmile:

Can you image the power of the sun just appearing? It must have been a BIG bang.

Oneironaut, do you have any links to a scientific research proving otherwise?

I'm really not trying to be an ass, i just havn't heard much objection to what the movie presents other than opinions. If anyone has any facts against it i TRULY want to see them.

Actually, there were no photons and hence no light until about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

Umm, it's common sense. You can't just change the world with your thoughts. If you want to prove me wrong, cure cancer with your thoughts, or make a ham sandwich with your thoughts. Do anything with just your thoughts and I will be convinced. Do you have any scientific research proving I can't shoot laser beams out of my eyes if I stare at the Moon for eight hours straight? No, but that doesn't mean you should take me seriously if I make an outrageous claim like that. You should ask me to prove it before you take it seriously.

The cosmic microwave background is a prediction of Big Bang theory. In the theory, the early universe was made up of a hot plasma of photons, electrons and baryons. The photons were constantly interacting with the plasma through Thomson scattering. As the universe expanded, adiabatic cooling caused the plasma to cool until it became favourable for electrons to combine with protons and form hydrogen atoms. This happened at around 3,000 K or when the universe was approximately 380,000 years old (z=1088). At this point, the photons did not scatter off of the now neutral atoms and began to travel freely through space. This process is called recombination or decoupling (referring to electrons combining with nuclei and to the decoupling of matter and radiation respectively).


That is the paragraph right?

It says:

The cosmic microwave background is a prediction of Big Bang theory. In the theory, the early universe was made up of a hot plasma of photons, electrons and baryons. The photons were constantly interacting with the plasma through Thomson scattering

That means there were photons before the 380000 year mark, but they were constantly interacting with the plasma until then, when it cooled enough to form hydrogen atoms.

correct me if I am wrong, I was just repeating it and i may be misunderstanding it completely

[Oneironaut]

I stand corrected. There were photons around, but you wouldn't have been able to see anything because they were just bouncing all over the place randomly. Well, you wouldn't have been able to see anything anyways because there was no place habitable for life, or even a hardy video camera.

I don't think the story of the Bible is always changing. I mean, sure it leaves open the question of how God *exactly* created the universe... but that doesn't mean it changes. It just means it leaves that particular aspect of creation open for some discussion (hopefully friendly discussion... though some people get out of hand).

What I'm saying is, no one can look at the Christian Scriptures and see it saying God created the earth one day and then see it saying God didn't create the earth the next. I will agree that biblical texts are not scientific proof of anything. However, they are full of religious proof when practiced. If one starts practicing the teachings of Christ he will see the types of results the Word of God promises. And those teachings do not change. They have been practiced by Christians since Christ first uttered them.

In a way I somewhat agree, because most people do believe in a big bang of sorts, but there are those who do take the word very literally.

The problem that non-believers have with words of god, is that the story is always changing yet the book remains the same. It says God created the heavens and the stars, but when someone says "Alternate dimensions collided, creating this big bang"... the Bible doesn't say that happened. The Bible also didn't say that it *didn't* happen, So people will fill in with "Maybe God did it that way". I'm not saying there's no God, but I AM saying that Biblical texts are no more proof than mere observation.

It isn't about the bible always changing, it is about the infinite amount of possibilities due to the infinite amount of universes.

Our thoughts and perceptions ARE the universe.
