I know about the magnitudes for measuring light and that my city is about a 4.5 and that irridium flares and shuttle passes can be as bright at -6 or so, but I was wondering about the scale and is there something that is considered a magnitude zero used as a point of scale and if so, what is that object? I have been doing this for several years now and I never thought or been told what a magnitude zero might be. Just wondering.

Ok, so before the big bang, there was no matter right? (if if there was where did it come from??) so if there was no matter, and no energy( and if there was...where did it come from??) so what exactly exploded? Gases?! where did they come from?? you get the idea....energy can't be created or destroyed right? but energy had to come from somewhere, so where?
and i've heard something about a 'singularity' if that theory is true..how did the singularity form? please, no angry bashing on evolutionists or creationists, i just want a straight answer. thanks!

Its annoying to have to get used of one thing and then it changes. Farmers work from sun up to sun down so why would we have to change the times. I think its just annoying.
