I think the theory is the universe is flat and expanding with no known boundaries but who really knows.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cloudysky', 'i')ts all a farce The universe was created 6000 years ago, and the light was created simultaneously with that, now that is power. ... There is one powerful creative God there that can speak and it is. ... or you can be like the astronomers and ignore this post, call me names and come up withb orther garbage

at 10 billion years the galaxies look like ours. ... there is no obvious development of the universe for 15 billion years.

Ok, what is faster than the speed of light

rumors,
fear and panic
dad's belt
a falling infant
someone moving to save said infant
confiscatory taxes
childhood

[Pretorian]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cloudysky', 'T')here was no big bang. ... The view at 14 billion years shows many galaxies that look just like ours.
Hubble disproves any big bang you can come up with because whatever theory you invent, all yo have to do is look half that far and it would blow that theory out of the water
because stars dont last 15 billion years....
or you can be like the astronomers and ignore this post, call me names and come up withb orther garbage

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tanada', '
')Well here is a cosmological puzzle for you Bill. With the Hubble Space Telescope we have looked as far as we can into space in all directions. In every direction we look we can see light around 13.5 Billion years old. IOW the furthest we can see is 13.5 ly, but we can see that distance in all directions.

If the Universe started with a Big Bang does than mean we are dead center cause all the edges are equidistant from us?

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."

Lmit to see beyond 13.7B light years in all directions.
Anyone know the exact day, month, year, that this distance was measured, and maybe at which later date realized we could not see beyond 13.7B c?

[angrybill]

Also, there must be something beyond the observable limit into space. We just haven’t yet figured out a way to see beyond 13.7B light years yet. Think of it this way. If the sun shined 24 hours a day, every day for a large portion of your life and you have only to see light when looking upward into, light. Light is all you can see and you have not awareness of the Universe beyond your observable limit until something changes or you create a mechanism to see beyond that observable limit of light. There must exist something beyond the 13.7B limit and one someone will discover what that something is.

Its not just a good idea, its the law.

X-ray photons like all other photons travle at light speed, but contrary to popular knowledge light speed changes depending on what the light is passing through. Pure vacuum is fastest of course, but intersteller dust and gas slow the light we see and the denser the medium the greater the slowing effect. Air is more than space, water is more than air, glass is more than water (for the same thickness).
