I think it's because you posted a 4chan link, and shit on there is always going on and off. For flashes, Dagobah and swfchan are permanent sources.Paradox said:Yeah that's it. I don't know what's up with my link. It's working for some but not others. It comes up fine on my comp, but my wife gets the error on hers.

..The universe is infinite...
infinite = not a rational number - undefinable.
UrbanMasque said:What part isnt true? Infinity not being definable or a rational/real or any kind of number.
I mean at this point, all theories are valid - but look at it - 26 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE?!?! They should just say, "total shot in the dark, but we guess - blah blah blah"
Giving it a # means that it, has some sort of a horizon and ends somewhere and then that opens the possibility of there being more than one. then the question of how big is whats outside the universe. How many are there? how did they come to be? Do the laws of physics still hold there? it also implies that you can pick a point to begin and end your measurement, and soon after your head explodes.
The universe that I'm used to thinking about is the one that was here way before the big bang and will be here after everything that came to life after the big bang cools and dies.
I don't get what you mean the end of matter? But I'm interested. Got links?

UrbanMasque said:I think the theory says that the universe is expanding because we see everything moving away from us - basically the effects of the big bang tapering off.
We see the effects of the big bang, but saying that its hand in hand with the universe's creation is kind of a leap too, right?
Lastly - I can see what you're saying except for one thing. There is matter everywhere, all the time. If there is no matter there then it doesn't exist.
