re: thnooks - ten major u.s. disasters on sig Thnooks, I don't believe in the big bang theory so we have something in common, don't we? I'm really not a follower of fashion where we get teddies of all types, creators of all sorts and the big bang religion which talks about an expanding universe and is akin to that old flat Earth theory. Don't believe in multiple universes, parallel universes, collapsing universes, designed universes, etc
Just believe in an infinite universe ........ always existed and will always exist, infinite in the three spatial directions, infinite in the macro and micro. Infinite refers to a process needing assumptions only to understand and this point explains why assumptions and not absolutes are necessary for scientific thinking. As we examine this further it seems that only rare physicists and philosophers have an inkling of the nature of time, space, energy, and matter. For example neither empty space nor solid matter can exist because they are human idealisations ..... i.e. absolutes. The reality in an infinite universe can only be the continuum between ..... never being an absolute solid nor an absolute space that we call a vacuum.
But you and everyone wants proof. So if you can understand the above ideas ... that it is about assumptions and not absolutes ....... then we may like to consider why every attempt to create an absolute vacuum or to find one has failed. i.e. we just get a process. If there can be no true vacuum then it is reasonable to conclude that the NON-existence of the universe is an impossibility. If the universe is infinite and has always existed then what role is there for a teddy?
