The big bang theory is fundamentally flawed. Whenever someone tells you the universe is "x" billion years old, the truth is that he is guessing. Whenever someone tells you that "x" galaxy is "x" billion light years away, again, it's more likely he is guessing. It's more likely the universe had no beginning and will have no end. The universe is most likely not expanding.

The big bang theory is the new creation myth pushed upon the world to accept without question. I am not a religious person, and one does not need to be religious, only logical, to reject the big bang theory.

I encourage you to watch this documentary on youtube. It is not full of crazies; it's full of scientists and even has some nobel laureates who doubt the theory. Don't pay attention to the horrible editorializing and the ominous echoing narrator's voice: pay attention to the explanations of the scientists.

Essentially, today's scientists, filled with hubris, believe that they have a law which tells them how far away distant galaxies are. This is called Hubble's Law. Basically, each galaxy has a "red shift" score based on its observable light emission. According to the law, galaxies with high red shift scores are farther away.

There is proof, however, that Hubble's Law isn't a law at all, though it is a very important discovery which science does not completely understand yet. In the rush to proclaim how smart humanity's become, all evidence contrary to the "law" has been dismissed as mere quackery. It only takes common sense to realize that today's science has developed an unhealthy dependence on this law; if anything contradicted it, 60+ years of big bang theory would come crumbling down.

The problem is that galaxies have been found that have been linked to quasars. Quasars have some of the highest red shift scores observed in the universe. So, obviously, today's scientists say that they are the farthest things away. But, when a quasar is attached to a galaxy with a lower red shift score, it breaks Hubble's Law. The same galaxy can't be at two vastly different distances from Earth. Instead of studying these anomalous galaxies, modern science chooses to ignore them as coincidence. When science starts doing shit like that, your faith in it should be greatly disturbed.

Remember, every time you hear in the new that some new galaxy has been found "x" billion light years away, you should know that the law they are using is unproven. We still really know so little about the cosmos. It is man's pride in his own knowledge that is driving these proclamations.

this is a picture of NGC 7603, one of the galaxies mentioned in the documentary

the "z" scores are the red shift values

though they appear to be small numbers they are relative to one another

when a red shift score is double another's score, it means it's really fucking far away from the other according to hubble's law

however, the image clearly shows that the two objects are next to one another

red shift cannot be a reliable way to judge a distant galaxy's distance from earth

You are right there is no absolute proof of the universes age. Hubbles law however is directly observable and the winding back of the observed expansion leads to an educated guess of the time that everything should be squashed into a singularity, all other things being equal.

Its not like they pinned all the available theories on a wall and threw darts at it. Im absence of other data its a pretty solid theory.

The arrogance of the scientific community is really what astounds me. Just think about it. Everything we know about the universe is observed from earth. We have very few vessels that have ever acquired data from locations different than earth, and we have never really acquired any data from outside the sol system. Nothing the scientific community ever spits that purely holds data from such an isolated place as earth can ever really be considered fact. It's only factual in the given circumstances. For all we know, the cosmic background radiation could by anything really, or something completely different. We will never know. We can only really speculate.

Take math for an example, can you confidently say that it was invented or discovered?
>>
>>693866930
Once 'alternative' theories provide evidence that stands up to rigour and peer review and actually provides a better explanation to observed phenomena then they will no longer be alternative and inherit the status of the current theory.

No, the model is incrementally perfected. Big Bang is pretty much scientific consensus today regardless of particulars, there's been a good half a century of increasingly accurate observations and modeling has been proggresively tweaked.

Science is by its nature an approximation of truth, we don't give up on relativity because quantum mechanics nor viceversa, we know we are somewhere near to a good description of the universe, no one claims at this point that it is 100% accurate.

We can tell the universe is expanding because things further away from us that are MOVING further away from us have a REDSHIFT, because red is the longest wavelength in the spectrum.

Also, remember this important detail??? COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION.

Dumbfuck, the redshift shit has nothing to do with distance. Scientists use it (the doppler effect) to judge somethings speed and direction relative to earth. It's just one of a number of things they factor in to calculate distance, they still have to triangulate based on the origin of the universe and our distance from that same point. If something is shifted red it just means that it is moving away from us.

>>
>>693863930
>The universe is most likely not expanding
Actually it's contracting. The reason that light from every direction seems to be redshifted isn't because those light sources are moving away, it's because the wavelength of light (like everything else in the universe) was larger when that light was emitted. On the small scale, the strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces keep everything in proportion as it shrinks, but over extremely great distances (such as the distances between galaxies) inertia wins out. The galaxies remain the same distance from each other, but are shrinking. Since everything in each galaxy, including the measuring standard (the wavelength of light) that we use to judge the distance to the next star, is shrinking the measurement seems to be constantly increasing because the ruler we're using is shrinking along with everything else.

>We know the inverse us expanding because we can observe it
This is actually incorrect. The fact that everything in the universe *seems* to be moving away from us at the same speed no matter which direction you look is a clear indication that we're misinterpreting something. The observations we have made, those to which you refer, have been interpreted as evidence that everything is moving away from earth at the speed of light. The problem with that is that it could only possibly happen if the earth were the center of the universe, and we already know that we're orbiting a smallish star way out at the end of one arm of our medium-sized galaxy which is rather off-center of the observable universe.
The concepts of everything moving away at the speed of light and anything moving toward us (the Andromeda galaxy, for example) are mutually exclusive.

The universe isn't infinitely expanding, there has to be something else causing the apparent redshift.

The fact that it makes sense to me means at least two people believe it. And you're arrogant as fuck for presuming that every one of the other 7.5 billion people in the world agree with you.

Not to mention the fact that popular belief has NEVER been an accurate measure of scientific fact, or there would only be four elements.

But please, do explain how else the redshift could indicate the same speed in every measurable direction (without magically making yourself the center of the universe) and I'll give your theory equal consideration.
>>
>>693876866
No you don't get it there is no center of the universe In cosmology and as such the center is where ever it's observed from.

It's not metaphysical mumbo-jumbo it's perspectives.

If you observe the universe from Earth earth is the apperently center, if you do the same on a planet in Andromeda tgat planet is the apperently center.

Look up the center of the universe and you will find its "everywhere and nowhere"

You know why it's called that, right? Because it's what we can see of the universe. The Earth IS the center of the observable universe because that's where we're observing from you dipshit.

>The fact that everything in the universe *seems* to be moving away from us at the same speed no matter which direction you look is a clear indication that we're misinterpreting something.

You are wrong, the question isn't whether or not everything is moving away from everything else at an increasing speed, that has been tested and confirmed hundreds of times by independent scientists, fuck, I've done it myself in my modern physics lab. The question is "Why is this happening?"

That's the really interesting thing to question.

Do please point out where in my post I claimed a 100% correct model. I don't recall even mentioning a unified field theory.
I think you're just inflating what you *thought* i said because you can't disprove what I *actually* said.

Serious question here. Why do scientists refer to objects far away from earth as "from the past"? Like, when referring to a quasar, for example, they say looking at them is like looking into the past. But aren't quasars old as fuck compared to us? Weren't they created first? Since they have existed for longer, isn't it more accurate to say looking at them is like looking into the future?

>The question is "Why is this happening?"
That's called a "hole" when it happens in a theory. It's an observed phenomenon that cannot be explained by the framework of the theory.
And you're spazzing like a fundamentalist at the insolence of an alternate theory that has no trouble explaining that phenomenon.

Why is this happening?
>>
>>693877833
I'm not a cosmologist I don't know, we will have to wait and see if the theory holds water, but remember lots of theories in cosmology fall away or are disproved through observation and experimentation.

You can belive what ever you want but you need to change your views as new evidence cones to light, I'd it's found the shrinking model is correct I will gladly accept it, until then it's just an interesting hypothesis put forth by one guy.

I hope he continues his reserch.
>>
>>693878236
They say that because an object that is a million light-years away is not observable in its present state. We can only see the light that left it a million years ago, because it takes light a million years to travel a million lightyears.

We won't be able to see what that object actually looks like today (if its even still there) until today's light reaches us in a million years.

>>693875904

rofl, we've moved from the "the earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it" to "we really are the center of the universe, by chance"
>>
>>693874414
This is exactly the only reason all those egg shaped planets have no life.
>>
>>693878236
It's because light travels at a finite speed. Since they are millions or billions of lightyears away, we are seeing the light they produced millions or billions of years ago. We see what they were like back then. So it's like we're seeing into the past.
>>
>>693878236
Because the farther away you look the farther back in time as light has a speed limit.

For example if you look at the sUN you are seeing the sun as it was 8 minutes in the past as it takes light 8 minutes to reach earth from the sun.

You look at alpha centauri you see it as it was 4.5 years ago as it takes light 4.5 years to reach us from it

When you look at Andromeda galaxy you see the galaxy as it was 2.2 million years ago as it takes 2.2 million years to reach us from it.

>put forth by one guy.
That's pretty much every hypothesis in the history of ever, anon.
>you need to change your views as new evidence comes to light
Which is why you're ardently sticking to theories that predate the computer age? I'm the only one in this thread who's even considering the new theory, everyone else is swearing by their 8th grade science textbook.
>>
>>693876225
Actually I clearly remember learning in school how everyone thought the Earth was flat until modern science first put a satellite into space and proved them wrong.

Yay for the education system.
>>
>>693878862
No bra I said it's interesting and I hope he keeps working on it but until it has experimental backing it's just a hypothesis.

You are the one who's clinking to a new hypothesis and saying the established one is wrong and everyone but you is arrogant and dumb.

I can tell you have autism so I'll stop talking to you as you just won't ever understand.

Serious question. How would pic related not be the center?

>>693878912
Norse sailors knew it was round because when a ship approaches from a distance they could see the top of the mast before they could see the hull. In Anthony and Cleopatra's time they knew it was round because the day that the sun was directly overhead and they could see all the way to the bottom of the wells was on a different day in Cairo and Rome. They even attempted to calculate the diameter of the earth from this, but their estimate was around twice the actual size.

But the official word of academia was that it was flat, because that's the way the church taught it. It's not like everyone accepted it once one guy put the idea forth. New ideas are always ridiculed by the majority until they are proven, then the old ideas (and the people who ardently clung to them) have their turn being ridiculed by the majority.
>>
>>693878912
Wow where do you live? That's retarded, we have know the earth was round for thousands of years.

Hell go look up science videos from the 1940s before space flight, they have globes abd talk about round earths.

There are earth globes dateing back to the 1500s and reffrence to a round Earth thousands of years earlier.

Redshift is about the speed they're moving away, not their distance from earth, you idiot

Yeah, that's been pretty much the entire history of radical discoveries. No surprises here.

Has nothing to do with brightness either.

So either you do not believe in anything, wich mean you don't have a say in any matter, or you are a "true believer" and are caring for old stories that some rapist wrote in a book aeons ago.
In short, I just believe you're bait

>>693874537
It's factored into calculating distance, but the doppler effect by itself only gives an indication of relative speed IF you know the base frequency of what you're measuring.

The doppler effect has nothing to do with distance by itself, but it can be used to help measure distance when combined with other information. A car driving 100 MPH away from you will have the same pitch if it's 5 feet away or 50 feet away.

Alien bro here

OP isn't that wrong, you mother fuckers still have a lot to learn though, at least about the observable universe. In the next few hundred years your scientists will find out about (what we call the asymmetrical complex) a structure in which we refer to as the universe in my time variance.

>Hint: What you call Math is not an invention, it is a universal language - humanity just does not fully understand it yet and will require the power of its computer technology to figure it out.
>The universe we are in is not 3 dimensional, what you are perceiving however is - the math you are using is missing a dimension.
>The universe is neither finite or infinite
>The big bang is a flawed theory but your species will figure it out in time.

That's all I can really share with you guys as I can't disrupt this time variance anymore than I have.
>>
>>693879793

You are quite literally either trolling or retarded. The only person talking about "observer-dependent metaphysics" in this thread is you. Look up the definition of the word "observable" since you've obviously never heard it before and then explain to me how given a fixed speed of light in a vacuum we can be anything other than the center of the observable universe. Or does your "radical discovery" also throw out relativity and the constant speed limit of the universe as well?
