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
Well that does make sense
as to why we perceive this
Where did that momentum come from to begin with though?
no one knows
probably no one will ever know
since it precedes any notion of time and space
I mean the principle of causality is the ultimate grounding of my belief in God
But sometimes that just feels like a cop-out
I sort of beleive that momentum was from the big explosion since in theory it is still expanding.
And so, everything is still moving outward.
yes the big bang was basically a big explosion and the momentum for that is conserved
Tbh tho, I beleive in the big crunch more
the thing about the expansion of the universe, though, is not that the objects in it are moving faster, but that space itself is expanding
so, let's say the universe consisted of only two particles and no gravity, and the two particles were stationary
in 1 billion years you'd measure them as being further apart even though they didn't move
because the space expanded
Ye
pretty weird
Space is weird
you can actually measure that space is not "flat" in space with lasers and things that are very far away
In general
I have seen an interesting theory that time and space are not fundamental but are emergent and that information is fundamental
The big crunch while outrageous in theory is pretty interesting. That the process of the big bang keeps repeating.
Infinite universes pretty much.
Constantly expanding and collapsing.
yeah it still doesn't answer the ultimate question though, of why there exists anything at all in the first place
Yeah, maybe it is just. One of those unique things we can't really find an answer for, or not till later in the future
I beleive the best way we can colonise mars and make it hospitable is by nuking it
Which isnt my original opinion, and only beleive that because nukes are pretty neato
