| ____________________________________ [Aug 18,2009 9:46am - arilliusbm ""] I guess they confirmed it. I remember learning this in astronomy class in college |

The universe did, it's the only thing that could have collapsed on itself to create a force of that magnitude. It wasn't the first big bang, and right now the universe is still expanding from the force of the blast, but eventually inertia will be overcome by gravity and the universe will slowly begin to collapse on itself again. Deal with it. http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr1/en/astro/universe/universe.asp |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2009 11:28am - arilliusbm ""] all mainstream news is false and distorted. that's why I love laughing at fox news and CNN. as far as mainstream news goes, I think CNN does a better job than fox news. but when are they going to cover the stuff that really matters? what really irks me is when they care more about a missing person on a mountain or a murdered rich girl, than international issues that really affect the future events of the world. |

Careful dudes, I always have to point this out when I see this word thrown around..the word THEORY in science is a principle that can't be refuted by any current scientific methods. All principles of modern physics and science in general support the Big Bang theory. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2009 11:41am - arilliusbm ""] No, but I do love reading/hearing about alternates to the unanimous "theories" in the scientific community. As we advance in knowledge and technology, you never know what can be disproven. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2009 11:46am - arilliusbm ""] there's always groups of scientists where their ideas are shunned by the community. most recently, there was the huge debate about the pygmy people they found. I'm sure you remember that. also, the great debate about demoting pluto. the overwhelming evidence showed that pluto was near an object much like it, but a little bigger and further out. |
