Wait a second I rushed that answer back. I forgot I'm using the no single centre model. In the checkerboard table cloth each checker would be pulling ...

You're missing the concept. This is all the parts of space rushing towards a single centre with those on the outer edges rushing in the fastest. That ...

I know what you are saying Metaphysician Undercover. You presented your case well, but I put you in a bind by getting to you to concede to a determine...

In a contracting model, the ratio of distances only grows larger, just as in expansion --> no heating

If it's perfectly symmetric there is no blue shifting. The opposite of space itself expanding is space itself contracting. Because everything in that ...

Imagine space as a matrix full of dots or circles. The dots are contracting away from each other, the centre most parts contracting fastest.

Righto, yep.

It takes two seconds to send a message, Baden. If you are deleting someone's OP, you owe them a bit of respect. All you guys volunteers though huh? If...

How ironic, I have one in writing OPs.

Well, either the sarcasm detector or sarcasm emitter is broken, that's for sure. I am really pissed you guys touched my OP. If you are going to interf...

Geeze, your sarcasm is even dryer than mine.

So you want me to have a PhD to express a thought? — MikeL Yes, that's exactly what I want. You're good at reading people. Is that a learnt skill or d...

No, you're right of course. I've just signed up for my doctorate. I should be able to post something on this forum in about 5 years. I'm so excited - ...

I have already done an OP entitled "Why Can't the Universe be Contracting?" In that OP I suggested it was possible the universe is contracting as a wh...

Go to hell the lot of you.

Know what I'm talking about? I know the theory of the universe as a Big Bang is just a theory, and one with plenty of holes in it. I know that it can ...

Yeah, I notice you don't have a problem with the first part.

I take your point. If you are not an expert in a field than say nothing unless you want to present a scientific paper on the matter. A very solid appr...

If that is the only objection, I am happy to amend it.

Obviously it is a light hearted way of asking if they have opposing actions.

In this OP I am trying to bring together several ideas I have been working on. In the beginning there was a big bang…. And already science is in troub...

Should I just try and make it more confusing for everybody by throwing in uselessly elaborate words?

And how should the approach be if not simple writing with clear ideas?

I am at a complete loss to understand this forum if that is the case. I am trying to discuss new ideas and you are shutting it down?

Do you actually read the content of other people's OPs?

An explanation of the universe, entropy, time and gravity is not scientific? You want us to just gurgle on other peoples explanations?

It was a good post. Conducive to good discussion. It addresses topics discussed on this forum.

Did you take down my post?

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one Metaphysician Undercover. Nice debating with you. See you on the next OP. :)

Do you want me to work with you guys on this or do you prefer me to keep my side? I'm happy enough to jump on your side for a while.

OK, well, I'm glad we can both agree that in the universe as most people understand it, our world is determined. Now we enter into a theory that has b...

There are two ways to answer. The first way is just by restating that the pattern is a concept. A book may be translated into a hundred languages and ...

So, you are abandoning the notion of space-time and proposing a whole new theory of the universe here to support the argument that the future isn't de...

Concept - Transmission - Transmission is physical, concept not. No?

And?

That would be the conceptual component I mentioned wouldn't it? Physical is being used in the broadest sense to include everything from beating a drum...

Information transmission seems physical enough - the message though is conceptual. Is that what you're getting at? I'm not exactly sure which one of t...

Sure, makes sense to me. I can see your imagination is starting to fire up. :)

You see. Rather than answering the question it is a redirection. I agree, that is why I specified scientists, not science. Oh, they must love debates ...

This is a very weak position to take in an argument. You might as well just give up before you begin. The belief in God far outdates science. Scientis...

I'm enjoying the read Srap Tasmaner. I can't wait to see how close he can get to bridging the gap. Ok then, let me ask you directly. Can you?

This is no difference at all. Do you think that the people of the past didn't work to avoid unpleasant things and create pleasant ones? It is the stor...

Precisely. It is because we are aware of ourselves, can stare in awe at nature, and understand we are more than the sum of our parts that drives us to...

I take your point Mad Fool, but do you see how the argument shifts focus immediately when they demand you to explain the creator? You have to hold you...

How so? Only in a relational sense surely. One is in front behind the wall, the other is behind in memory. The content though is a continuation of the...

But that's crazy. It's like looking at a rocket ship parked on the side of the road and refusing to believe it was intelligently designed because you ...

Ha, there is no denying going on. What is it about the graininess that suggests that its the end of the road? Why must the fact that energy is dispens...

Ahh, this fills me with hope yet. This is the problem with measuring the English coastline. So let me ask, how do they know that a radiating body actu...

Hi Mad Fool, how do they justify the assertion that if design then conscious agency isn't true? If conscious agency arises in the way that all hierarc...

Your maths is stronger than mine t0m. It sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on it now. A strong maths base is just what is needed for this ty...
