Space,time or anything only exists in your conscious mind,when your dead nothing exists.Life really is mind blowing

B0ll0x...check out the hubble ultra deep field.
It didn't, it's always been and always will be, just in different states of change. It's only our brains that believe something has to start and end.
Maybe we don't exist at all

Well not really, space/time etc also exists in mathematics and it's fair to say it existed before you were born as there is history. Hard enough to understand the physics without people lobbing philosophy in there

Can't answer huh?
Well, you seem very certain in your view. Can you back it up?
He can't.

I'd guess it maybe related to the way electricity "flows" which is nothing to do with how fast electrons travel down wires, which I belive is something like about 5 cm/s however the wavefront travels very fast indeed.
The telescopes that look FURTHEST are the radio telescopes. Without visual light the traditional telescopes doesn't work.
Going back to what I was saying earlier about the universe having to expand to take into account the moving galaxies. The universe is literally everything. There is nothing outside the universe to stop it expanding. I don't think I explained myself well there but do you see what I mean? It is a mind bending thought. It is easier at least for me to think there are multiple universes, it just seems easier to grasp.
As for the source of the Big Bang. Imagine a rubber circle coploured red, that represents the singularity. The Big Bang is the singularity expanding. Stretch the rubber circle. Your question of where the singularity is is like asking where the red in the rubber circle is. The universe/singularity/rubber circle is expanding, the red is everywhere, as suggested by the cosmic backgroung radiation.
How does that sound?

Hi UriBentMySpoon,
Novel mind concept but it doesn't quite work for me.
A singularity is just that - an infinitely small point, not a ring or a torus, so the expanding ring/torus breaks down for me. Note I say 'me' that is not to say it will not work for someone else.
Multiverses has a nice conceptual feel to it, in that the big bang could have produced many independent universes of which we have no concept and never will have. This will also explain why we cannot find the void which was the source of the big bang, as it is outside of our universe.
The mathematics produces the concept of multiple universes and multiple dimension, although I am not clever enough to begin to understand the mathematics involved.
Another area of debate for the Astro/Particle Physicists is the identification of Dark Matter. I have thought many times about this and have concluded probably rather naively, maybe the so called dark matter is there in great abundance but we can't see it as the light/radiation has reached us yet. Consider the fact that such galaxies could have been created say 500M years ago, but at a distance of say 501M light years from us, so we will start to see in in 1M years from now. Hey presto we can then account for any amount of Dark matter we want to.
All of this starts other thought processes, such as the mapping of the known Universe. I think we can only map what we can 'see' both in the visible and non visible spectrum. Even then what we see will in most cases no longer exist as we are seeing what was there in some cases Billions of years ago and there will now no longer exist and even if is does it certainly won't be were we see it today. So what we see no longer exists in a lot of cases and what does exist we can't see as the radiation has not reached us yet.
I think these confusions of mine were the reason I didn't follow Physics as a career after University. I just wan't clever enough.

He can't.
The heathens are forever trying to work out what led to the creation of the universe.
Shame none of them ever read the Bible.
They have no answers, no proof and no hope of ever understanding.

Joe 90 is just about right. The Bible is a collection of fables, stories handed down and distorted for someones gain. The New Testament written around 70 years after the supposed events, with more distortions. Then the translation By someone reporting to King James I. A book full of contradictions. How could anyone take such a collection of ancient writing seriously?
You really need to read the God Delusion. A far more impressive book based on EVIDENCE, not ancient hearsay.
