do you think space exploration should be taken away from nasa and carried out by private enterprise? do you think this would stop the waste of the tax payers money.

with all the problems in the world today, how many people think the space program is a waste of money.

I know the idea sounds very outlandish but I think it may serve many purposes. I would think that this station could help power the new space tourisim industry. Also, we may be able to absorb enough of the sun's light to help reduce global warming.

Our universe has vast clumps of matter (stars, galaxies, quasars, etc.) The parallel universes move through this 11th dimension like waves, and these waves could ripple like most usually do. The ripples went on to cause the clumps of matter after the big bang. Our universe is one of an infinite number of membranes, just one of the many universes which make up the multiverse.

In other words it gets 100 miles closer and then 100 miles further away. Is this a significant distance for any major problems or changes? Let me know if this question makes sense.

If there's an infinite number of universes, then absolutely everything is not only possible, its actually happening. It means that somewhere, in some dimension, there is a universe with a planet exactly like earth with an exact duplicate of us doing different things either that which we did here, or things we haven't done yet. What's your opinion?

since christianity has the most population in terms of religion, many believed that if you do not believe in Jesus, you will not be saved.. I certainly believed that.. but some unbelievers asked me the same question and I cant give a specific answer.. help

Why has history marked Apollo 11 for greatness when it was Apollo 8 who was suddenly cast into the role of being the first to leave Earth and sent to the moon in an untested spacecraft on an untested rocket to preform duties not yet attempted by unmanned Apollo spacecraft? The only thing that prevented Apollo 8 from lunar landing was the fact the lem was yet to be delivered to NASA. Apollo 8 paved the way, took all the risks involved with untested equiptment and reached the moon over 6 months before Apollo 11 was launched. Yet Apollo 11 gets all the glory while history forgets Apollo 8. Does that seem fair?

First a repsonse to my question about light and redshifting.

As for galaxies moving away from each other without space expanding, you just can't do that. Remember that everything is embedded IN space. An object, like a galaxy, can't move independantly of the space that contains it.

next the question that made me think of....

Why cant something move “through” the universe (space/time)? I was told nothing can move Independently throughoutt space/time, therefore space/time iteselfe must be expanding. But If that was true. Then I couldn’t throw a baseball to my dad without space/time expanding that distance every time it was tossed back and forth right?

From most of the explenations I've found and recieved. Its like a balloon that retains the same mass but stretches thinner. Wouldnt it eventuallly be too thin? and "Bust"?

Ok i just read this sentence. "As space expands, light waves get stretched. If the universe doubles in size during the waves' journey, their wavelengths double and their energy is halved" ok so it was two sentences. If space was not expanding and galaxys were in fact just moving away from each other would there still be a redshift? And If light travels at a constant speed. then why do the waves slow down, or get longer over a distance? Unless of course my first statement is correct... if i ahd a first statement

2006-06-30 13:25:55 · 12 answers · asked by StoneWallKid 2

OK, i understand the two particles orriginate outside or at the event horizon and the negative particle gets sucked in and Annhialates (sp?) another positive particle inside creating a loss of mass. So the theory goes. But Wouldnt that creat The same mass in energy? And even if that was radiation energy why wouldnt the black hole keep it within its grasps? And even if I'm wrong is it called radiation for siplistic reasons.... because nothing is actually being radiated?

If there was and edge/ending and there was light outside it. AND it was expanding at the speed of lite. (by the way im drunk and cant remember is it light or lite? i think its light) And by that i mean if it was a Balloon type structure the surface of the balloon was expanding at the speed of light. BUT you were right on the inside of the balloon would you EVER be able to see any outside light reaching in?..... I'm almost positive that makes no sense.
