That is what I believe as well. And this process has always been and will always be.Cargando said:
So you believe in an expanding and retracting universe that has always been?Cargando said:
Anyway, I guess I should have put this on my first post but whatever. I beleive that the universe was created at the big bang and is still expanding as a result of the explosion. Eventually, the expansion will stop and the force of gravity will begin pulling everything in the universe towards the center of the universe. This will then result in the big crunch. I beleive that the universe began at a point because I seem to sympathise with Emanuel Kant's argument against a universe with no beginning.
I believe that every person is in their own universe with about 300 other people who they interact with at some point in their lives.
It sends a chill down my spine whenever I think of the magnitude of this sort of thing. It's really disturbing.JBarracudaL said:
This theory seems pretty good, I'll go with that. I agree that it's odd when you realise exactly how tiny we are compared to the rest of the universe. I mean, there are stars that if they were about football (soccer) size then our sun would be even smaller than a pinhead.Judgedread said:
Ok, here's what I mean [http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#9LspdV/www.rense.com/general72/size.htm/]. Sorry it's still got stumbleupon attatched to it.
This is a subject that is often talked about and I've realized something. I honestly have no reason to care. No matter what form of universe it is, it will be and it will continue to be in some form or another. Existence is so utterly absurd that I can think of no subject that I care less about the answer to. You might say: "Then why, Fightgarr, would you post your answer if you are adding nothing to discussion". To that I reply: "Because I am interested in why it is that people care so much about the structure of the universe". I don't believe that infinity is a concept that the human mind can grasp properly and so I choose to think in way where the universe is, and its going to be, and I'm going to be in it. There is nothing I can do to stop this. I find that I'd rather just appreciate the universe as it is instead of question its origins and directions, they being subjects I doubt I will ever have full comprehension of (comprehension itself being an absurd concept).
I don't find that very logical at all.Zombie_Fish said:
It is all of existence as far as we know, how can existence begin? It had to always be, period.
Although, I suppose that is technically my opinion.
Then what the fuck happens when you move far away from the place that you live? You will then meet around 300 more people, so whatever happened to the previous 300? What if in addition to the 300 new people you meet, you keep in contact with the past 300? And what about all the people you see on television? Do they not really exist in the unverse since you don't react with them?Panzer_God said:
Well the word in interact but yes. No more then roughly 300 people exist in your universe at any one time. If your stop interacting with someone they cease to exist. For example when I decide that you bore me and stop talking to you, we will cease to exist in each other's universes, leaving room for someone else.clicketycrack said:
i gotta say this,no matter the flame war it may cause.
god made the first big bang happen. i mean,you can't believe there was a first universe that just was! that exploded from nothing! the first one wouldn't have had a big crunch,only a big bang,so i believe god blew nothing into something, and that something is ever expanding. things don't just go BOOM! something has to make them go BOOM! which i believe was god. by the way,if the universe is ever-expanding,how would it retract into itself?

The universe started at some point in time and continues to grow. Just like I learned in 8th grade science. As far as what caused it's existance that's a question too big for me to handle.
What an odd train of [a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism_Syndrome]thinking that is[/a]Panzer_God said:
