Where the lie?
~~the 13.79 billion years part. it's actually 6,000~~
>6 trillion
hmm
YES
Did the universe start out smaller and expand
or is that a Chriistian myth
according to modern astrophysics yes
*Didn't
Ok so do they now know that
the universe began as a point and expanded from there
well, not exactly
Not
Are there Christians who accept the age of the universe who reject the big band
bang
you can trace back the background radiation in the universe to a single point, allegedly
like is that a thing
idk
there are definitely many young earth creationists
in the US at least
But they are refferencing like old earth or theistic evolutionists
wdym?
Wait akshually I’ve never understood that
How come the universe expands radially in all directions when everything started at a single point and gravity exists?
<:thonking:280946825647620096>
conservation of energy
<:thonkery:498242304792854549>
also gravity is a very weak force
extremely weak, in fact
Well it’s proportional to mass right?
gravity is so weak that your legs can overcome the force of the entire earth's gravity
Well but thats because it’s just the earth
What about the gravitational pull of all the mass in the universe?
the electromagnetic and nuclear forces are much stronger than gravity
Fair
also everything was given an initial momentum outward when the big bang happened
the universe should slow down because of gravity, though
but apparently the expansion is accelerating
still a great mystery
Hmm
