I heard this rumor. Not sure if I believe it or not. I do believe that they have found some gas giants similar to Jupiter and Saturn. But This is the first time I ever heard this.

Maybe this is a stupid question, as this is not my field, but does anyone have a theory or suggestions about what happened before the big bang.
just ideas, no need to be true...

I'm currently involved in an online argument (www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=lA0bKRKQZtk )

I think that it is reasonable to think that the universe (or multiverse) could be eternal.

My online opponent thinks that the time of the universe is finite because of the big bang and that it is irrational to propose an eternal one.


Am I possibly right? or am I totally wrong? What do contemporary cosmologists think?

We're kind of stuck in the rut of travelling by rocket power and then effectively sling shotting off planetary gravity so we can explore our own system - at least by probe - but how could we travel to other stars? Even achieving light speed would mean multiple years to get to a near star and at that speed; you just couldn't navigate and avoid random collisions etc. If you have a piece of paper and want to know what's the quickest way from one edge to the other - the answer would be to fold the paper so that both points meet so I'm thinking the answer to my question is linked to this somehow. Therefore, how could you create a situation where you could effectively manipulate physics to get from a to b instantly - I don't mean teleportation I mean exploiting physics and / or proving and then harnassing something like the multiverse theory? I guess the way to describe it would be like the film Contact with Jodie Foster - the way she travlled was some kind of wormhole that was plotted.

I have heard some great discussion on the Space Elevator, but not yet heard all the good reasons why it won't work. Tell me what you think would cause this technology to fail, whether technical, social, political, or otherwise.

Since they are much larger and hotter, and shorter lived than our sun, could a massive "O" or "B" class blue giant star harbor life-bearing planets? If so, what might that life be like? And where would they go for Chinese food? Best answer for both scientific accuracy and inspired silliness.
