More news from The Big Bang...


Question Everything:
Are we replaying some 'Old News' here?  Have a look at this and then decide.

Speaking of The Big Bang, it's being described as something like this....



And we just happen to have an illustration of just such a process beginning...



This is a picture of the original H-Bomb test in 1962, which vaporized an island in the Pacific, and popularized the name of a certain brief swimsuit.


And this is a map of the residual radiation now 13.7 billion years old, from the origins of our universe. The bright spots are intense spots which later on solidified or condensed into present-day galaxies which are still expanding away from one another. You can visualize this cosmic expansion by imagining a deflated balloon whose exterior is covered with tiny dots randomly distributed over its surface. As this balloon is inflated, these little dots will spread apart from one another, increasing their separation. Each little dot represents a galaxy. Sometime in the future, the other galaxies near our own will be too distant and too dimly illuminated for us to see them. And I'm assuming there may still be a few of "us" to be looking. That also is very doubtful, because by then, our solar system will be long gone. It will have been 'recycled' once again, as it has been already. The Cosmos has been practicing recycling much longer than we have, and with much more efficient results.
