I don't doubt that expansion could slow down. It could even slow down to the point where it halt in its expansion.
But the point with Big Bounce and the Big Crunch is that it will reverse on to itself, and contract to the point it (universe) will be a singularity again. It will take far greater forces to cause contraction of the entire universe into the singularity.
The Big Crunch and Big Bounce are both interesting hypotheses, but I don't see how either could happen, do you?
Not sure of the elasticity of space but I've heard that if the expansion continued it could rip the space apart. I can't get the balloon analogy out of my head and I picture space expanding until the forces can't pull apart any longer so space just snaps back in place. Any how I'm just not sure we know enough.
You mean the Big Rip.
Yep, that's the alternative cosmology for a continually expanding universe.
You must read whatever I wrote in context with the correct quotes about the correct statements before saying or thinking what I said or did not say. That would be the correct thing to do.
They should be easy to defend and necessary to explain if you truly wish understanding and actually have enough confidence in what you post to allow contention.Why do you keep posting more without justifying what you already have? I asked the simple question, What does t=0 mean specifically in your claims? When is T=0 days ago. If you don't fix the problems you have, posting more makes it worse. In fact you never even explained why the point slope equation of a line was doing in your first proof of God post. Quantity will not accomplish what quality must.
I consider this very rude on your part.Still waiting Mr al-amiyr: I have asked this several times and been promised an answer and still have not recieved it. I spent many years in school and the teacher that everyone dropped was the one who would not spend the time to straighten out his premise before prattleing on with his conclusions.
I have also noticed some people dislike a potential conclusion they see someone working towards and they do everything in their power to derail it, simply because they willfully misunderstand and hold to their fears and presumptions.I have also noticed that many times people use volume and language to attempt to convince alone and will not bear to have their claims examined in detail to establish any merit in the volumes of rhetoric that is produced.
There isn't yet anything substantive to defend.If the questions below are not answered again I will conclude that that is the case here as well. I do not think it worth the effort to put forth grand theories if they are not capable of or you are unwilling to provide a defence for them.
Well, be patient and at least let him get to a point where he has unfolded what he wishes to unfold. Sometimes questions you may have will naturally be answered if you patiently bear with him and allow him to continue.They should be easy to defend and necessary to explain if you truly wish understanding and actually have enough confidence in what you post to allow contention.
Why would that matter to me? I guess requesting clarification in your world is rude. Why are you answering posts made specifically to someone else? I consider it far ruder to either refuse to explain the premise of an argument or as in this case to promise to do so and then not follow through.I consider this very rude on your part.
I not only have not bothered to examine a conclusion who's foundation is so flawed, I have no idea what it might be. I am not avoiding something I am unaware of. You may be easily impressed by a bunch of irrelevant math and rhetoric as many people who value conclusions they like enough to ignore the shaky foundations they are built on. I have seen it used many times for effect and when it's actual substance is challenged it falls like a house of cards and so is resisted by any means necessary. One certain way to determine this is broken promises or a refusal to explain the foundations of a theory.I have also noticed some people dislike a potential conclusion they see someone working towards and they do everything in their power to derail it, simply because they willfully misunderstand and hold to their fears and presumptions.
That is the mantra of anyone that builds on sand instead of rock.I for one hope he ignores you and tends to the questions coming from people who obviously genuinely wish to understand him and are sincerely trying to do so.
You are over your head. There are many preposterous theories in his foundational premise that he then just keeps building on.There isn't yet anything substantive to defend.
What I have seen is that people show up and the ones that have a working knowledge of math, physics, or cosmology examine it, can't get anything out of it, or an explanation for points in it and then leave. Below are just two of the many examples of this.He is still unfolding things a piece at a time.
So far pretty much everyone has no trouble following him.
Your Qur'an Cosmological Model is nothing more than conjecture or unverifiable hypothesis. If you have evidences, then submit your proposition (eg. papers, reports) - along with any evidence or mathematical proof(s) - before peer-review for other scientists (astrophysicists, astronomers, cosmologists) to examine your hypothesis and findings.
I think i have answered,the information is scant IMO,it boils down to what you believe it says and its significance to a literal interpretation and the significance of that,either way its not that impressive to me,if someone thinks it is,fine.
Well, be patient and at least let him get to a point where he has unfolded what he wishes to unfold. Sometimes questions you may have will naturally be answered if you patiently bear with him and allow him to continue.
If you demand a billion dollars to build a sky scraper and when the banks building inspector shows up and looks at the foundation and sees huge problems and errors would you just keep investing money. Would you sit around and tell your banks investors to be patient and let him complete what your experts say will fall over very soon and present very well established principles by which this is a fact? No you wouldn't unless you have some investment in the economics surrounding the deal that make you value any construction over sound construction. Not only that but when you question the builder he keeps saying he will explain the foundation issues but never does. That is the same with my time. I have enough education in math, physics, and engineering to know his premise is flawed. Why would I then invest my time in what is built on it as it can't stand. My original statements here were complemented several times.I believe he already indicated this was the case. So, please, give him the space to move forward if for no other reason than there are others who prefer he continue and not be distracted.
Not if it is done politely and with genuine interest.Why would that matter to me? I guess requesting clarification in your world is rude.
You are here with an axe to grind against Islam and the Qur'aan and since I have the time I'll let you try and grind it with me so as not to waste the precious time of others.Why are you answering posts made specifically to someone else?
He also said he would do so as he has time and that he would prioritize to the more important matters.I consider it far ruder to either refuse to explain the premise of an argument or as in this case to promise to do so and then not follow through.
Even weeks after the time it was promised?Not if it is done politely and with genuine interest.
I do not value your estimation. I originally found this mountain of rhetoric and was very polite. I quickly saw flaws and a lack of understanding when I was replied to. I know you probably won't understand this but here it is anyway. I originally noticed that the point slope equation for a line was in a foundational proof for God. I have studied dynamics and algebra quite a bit and knew there was no way that has anything to do with God. I then questioned him about it and what I got back was so screwed up as to confirm my belief that he did not understand what he was posting to any meaningfull degree. If you go back others pointed that out concerning his responses to me. I then to make sure followed that up with more questions and I was given a description for the trajectory of a bullet. That does not fit with the equation. The equation assumes a hypothetical nongravitational and none atmospheric environment that the bullet does not describe. I knew for sure now that he did not understand what he was posting. However to be even more sure I explained that what he described is a one dimensional elastic collision and is not applicable to the point slope equation of a line. He dissagreed and I concluded my evaluation of his competance in physics. If you review it you will see that the other posters that understand basic physics agreed. I did allow him a chance to redeem himself with the T=0 issue and was promised a response but never got it. Why after all that would I conclude his theory is reasonable or worth consideration? I do not claim to be a mathematician or a physicist but the issues are elementary and only a slight college level education is necessary to see the flaws inherent in his propositions.You did so rudely and I have good reason to question your sincerity.
You have taken a posture of self-righteous jerk towards someone I have much respect for.
Because I never stop testing and verifying what I believe. I wanted to test this theory and see if my beliefs add up. They do as of now.Why are you here seeking to learn of potentially deeply significant religious truth from the Hidden Book as manifested from the Qur'aan if what you have told me elsewhere gives me to know you have already concluded the Qur'aan can only be a Satanic Book?
For someone who professes Christianity you have a far more inconsistent position than I do. I am after truth. I believe the Quran is not the truth in general but I test that at every opportunity. I also point out false teachings that are being masqueraded as truth. Unlike many I let truth determine my beliefs instead of the other way around.You are here with an axe to grind against Islam and the Qur'aan and since I have the time I'll let you try and grind it with me so as not to waste the precious time of others.
I doubt you and even his ability to determine what is truly important. The issues I wanted clarification on are fundamental and necessary foundational work on which the structure stands or falls. It is apparent that that clarification isn't coming or available to be provided. I give up. I have no interest in having a debate by proxy with someone who does not understand physics.He also said he would do so as he has time and that he would prioritize to the more important matters.
I think he is entirely justified to totally ignore you and I hope he continues to do so.
I have had a few college courses upon the subject of Physics and I received some hard earned A grades at it.I have no interest in having a debate by proxy with someone who does not understand physics.
If so then why in the world are you adopting a proof that has an equation for a line in it's foundation that apparently the author can't account for it's use. As well as adopting a T=0 condition wher matter is still present. Time is duration as long as matter exists T is not equal to 0. That is why the Bible says that time, matter, and space began to exist at the same time. Also I think I saw that at some point time is reversed and thermodynamics (times arrow) renders that impossible. I would have thought you would have found those problematic. The Christian PhD I work for did as I always double check scientific claims with him. Anyway I no longer am hopefull of any answers so respond or don't I no longer care. I originally thought this topic would be fascinating but I can't get any clarification and it has become quite dissapointing.I have had a few college courses upon the subject of Physics and I received some hard earned A grades at it.
I am a trained engineer who short-circuited getting a degree because I got hired out early by a fortune 500 company.
I'm may not be certified, but I believe I am well qualified to hear him out.

I thought I had a new ally against this rhetorical menagery. I did not realize it was good old Sojourner with a new avatar. Howdy.Translation:
As long as you're willing to be Pollyannaish about our "theories" (that have no basis in science), and not be too skeptical about what we have to say, you can stay and play with us. Otherwise, we're gonna be snarky.
That's a gross misrepresentation of what I advocated.Translation:

This is not the case. My questions were first answered wrongly. Then promised in the future. Then ignored. Then criticised. I am not going to wait for the building to fall before I question it's foundations. You seem to be mesmerised by something that has no rational basis in physics or math. That would be fine but you also seem to value the illusion to the extent that you resent any efforts to clear up what is necesary to make it worth looking into or at in your case. I am sensing a pattern with you here and other areas as well. There have many been competant posters that have had an identical experience in this thread.That's a gross misrepresentation of what I advocated.
Nobody should ever put aside healthy skepticism.
Is all that is asked is that they be understood as intended, and in full, before any final judgments are made.
I am responding to the snarkiness of 1Robin who was being quite rude.
You too are being quite rude to grossly misrepresent what I have advocated.
