[QUOTE=-xxsetshotxx-;25131570]Don't try to think about it; your brain will explode. The human mind doesn't have the concept of infinite/forever; we only know beginning and end. We only know cause and effect. Because our lives are based on beginnings and ends, we expect there to be a beginning and end to everything.[/QUOTE]
The fuck? I've always thought it was here for an infinite amount of time.
:psyduck:
even if big bang theory doesn't make sense, a magic god figure making shit out of nowhere makes even less sense
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. Quotes are cool guys.
I don't believe in nothing. I believe that nothing doesn't exist.
[QUOTE=Stud Muffin;25138293]Yes, yes it does...
That is how the theory of a static universe came about...[/QUOTE]
What I meant to say when we don't have the concept is that we realize that there can be and is an infinite, but we can't exactly count to it or picture/visualize it.

Well good luck with that :)
[QUOTE=QwertySecond;25137877]That's dependant upon the value of Omega, the overall density of matter in the universe.
If Omega is less than 1, then the universe will continue to expand and ultimately perish in the Big Freeze, where everything becomes too distant to maintain any heat, including the back-ground radiation from the Big Bang.
If Omega is exactly 1, then the Universe will eventually stablise and cease expanding or contacting, and presumably remain that way for all infinity.
If Omega is greater than one, then it eventually stop accelerating, and begin contracting, ending with the Big Crunch, where I suspect the density of mass and energy will go beyond the Plank temperature, punch through the space-time membrane, and creat a parallel universe with another Big Bang.
At present, we estimate the value of Omega to be less than 1.[/QUOTE]
How is omega determined?
And is dark matter/energy included?

I think you should go run along and play in fast threads well the adults talk.
