Outer Space?

Question

This makes me sick to think about. Honestly how did Space appear. Cause it cant just come out of nothing. there would be a blank. but the blank had to come from something right? its neverending and hurts my head.

Answer 1

Yes it is a puzzle, just what is the universe expanding into? Now they know that everything is still accelerating apart from everything else. One day all the planets will be so far apart that everything will become frozen and lifeless and the universe will all be a cold dead place. think on that one.

Answer 2

In 1929 Edwin Hubble, working at the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, California, measured the redshifts of a number of distant galaxies. He also measured their relative distances by measuring the apparent brightness of a class of variable stars called Cepheids in each galaxy. When he plotted redshift against relative distance, he found that the redshift of distant galaxies increased as a linear function of their distance. The only explanation for this observation is that the universe was expanding. Once scientists understood that the universe was expanding, they immediately realized that it would have been smaller in the past. At some point in the past, the entire universe would have been a single point. This point, later called the big bang, was the beginning of the universe as we understand it today. The expanding universe is finite in both time and space. The reason that the universe did not collapse, as Newton's and Einstein's equations said it might, is that it had been expanding from the moment of its creation. The universe is in a constant state of change. The expanding universe, a new idea based on modern physics, laid to rest the paradoxes that troubled astronomers from ancient times until the early 20th Century.The equations of the expanding universe have three possible solutions, each of which predicts a different eventual fate for the universe as a whole. Which fate will ultimately befall the universe can be determined by measuring how fast the universe expands relative to how much matter the universe contains. The three possible types of expanding universes are called open, flat, and closed universes. If the universe were open, it would expand forever. If the universe were flat, it would also expand forever, but the expansion rate would slow to zero after an infinite amount of time. If the universe were closed, it would eventually stop expanding and recollapse on itself, possibly leading to another big bang. In all three cases, the expansion slows, and the force that causes the slowing is gravity.A simple analogy to understand these three types of universes is to consider a spaceship launched from the surface of the Earth. If the spaceship does not have enough speed to escape the Earth's gravity, it will eventually fall back to Earth.

Answer 3

Your head will hurt a long time trying to figure it out, Mans mind is unable to phathom what it was what it is and what it always has been, The universe we see today was created by the big bang, ie, stars planets, galaxys but before the big bang it was black vacum, Man can not imagine what nothingness is because everything we try to imagine what it looked like always comes back to something,

Answer 4

The best evidence shows that space and time both began with the big bang. Space is created by the expansion of space -- a concept which is indeed a bit difficult to grasp.

Answer 5

I think time and space have always existed, but us humans have a tendency to think of things in terms of START > FINISH. This may not necessarily be the case.

People who state God or whoever created everything often fall back on Aquinas' "first mover" thesis, which concludes from the fact that all things in the present have some origin of creation, that God exists, assumes that time is strictly linear and everything must have a beginning. Maybe this is not so.

Answer 6

In the beginning there was a tiny sub-atomic particle that was the entire universe(it wasn't suspended in a endless sea of nothingness, the thing was the entire universe). One day it exploded(by God perhaps) and created a huge ammount of heat the created fusion which created all of the matter that makes up the universe today.

Answer 7

Its going to hurt your head because even the most brilliant scientists can only take a shot in the dark. Theories can come and go... simple thing is this... its bigger than us, it rules us. Get comfortable not knowing all the answers... thats when you really open up to learn.

Answer 8

i belive that all time and space have began and ended like this.
there was the first universe that was started by the big bang. the after trillions of years, the univers was destroyed by the big crunch. then there was no time or space between the next big bang and the end of that univers and the cycle continues forever.

Answer 9

Al Gore invented it. Along with the internet. and cheese puffs. For serial.

Answer 10

Its really amazing to think about how everyting was made. and also if there is anything else out there. And how big really is.......everything. Stars are so far away and, what is past that?!?!?!?!?!?
