So are you suggesting the radiation can become matter again?
I have my skepticism on the speed of light but a static universe. Say it ain't so.
But still... a cyclical universe? No way.
Right. If you tried to create matter from a photon, you just end up right back where you started. Paired production that would just annihilate itself again and leave a photon.So are you suggesting the radiation can become matter again?
Radiation is a very specific form of energy ... and certainly not the only one ... and it's best to see radiation as a carrier of energy rather than energy itself ... of course energy can become matter, think pair production ...
Me too.I have my skepticism on the speed of light but a static universe. Say it ain't so.
I will, I will, I will ... I know very little about this so I'm entitled to very strong opinions ...
But still... a cyclical universe? No way.
Well, it solves our singularity problems ... they won't need to exist ... time has always been and will always be ... only GR predicts their existence, QM prohibits them ... 300 posts into a discussion of something known to be impossible ... better than mowing lawns I guess ...
Perhaps from a collapsing sun---------massive energy would have to be sent somewhere--perhaps it goes to create another solar system/universe. Maybe it is an endless cycle....If the universe and Earth was created by the Big Bang, then wouldn't there be much energy created? Where is the evidence for this energy being created?
I learned in high school that energy can’t be created. It can only be converted from one form to another.
You are too biased. Father Georges Lemaitre accomplished more in his lifetime than many atheist scientists. He was a pioneer of the big bang. He was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize and should've got one -- http://www.vaticanobservatory.va/co...documenti/Workshop_Presentations/01_Kragh.pdf.
You forgot the Father of Genetics and the paleontologist who took part in the discovery of Peking man and many more.You are too biased.

You've been slinging "atheist scientists" around this whole thread ... did you know atheism was socially unacceptable in scientific circles up until about 50 years ago ... Einstein believed in God, Darwin was a member of the Church of England, Newton was President of the Royal Society ... Copernicus was an ordained priest ... all these great minds through history were God-fearing upright folk ...
"Judge not lest ye be judged, for that which you mete out will be measured unto you again" ... I'm afraid you've not posted anything here that would lead me to believe you have any call to question the piety of anyone else ...

I am getting more and more convinced that a cyclical universe would eventually annihilate itself out of existence and just leave a universe of radiation.

Yes. Look around. It's everywhere!!!
Sure, it can be created by a supernatural God, but not by natural means because energy can't be created.
Who said the energy was created? What if it was already there?
The atheist scientists did like Stephen Hawking, but energy had to start somewhere and with God he started with light. Anything that gets created needs energy and will leave evidence of it.
The atheist scientists couldn't explain rationally how time and space started using quantum mechanics, so they just assumed it was always there.
However, a tremendous amount of energy had to exist for the big bang to happen. It's too hard to believe that kind of power could just be assumed to exist. Also, to use it and harness it would require some kind of intelligence behind it. Thus, you're stuck with no explanation nor evidence.
A black hole has unfathomable energy. It also has huge mass. The gravitational pull is so powerful if prevents light from leaving.
Energy is not created. But energy and pass can change forms.
The best understanding of our universe and the big bang is that it is likely and ongoing process. The explosion of the big bang flung matter and energy outward. As the energy is expended (matter moving outward against other gravity), the matter slows. All matter has gravitational force, depending on its mass. So pieces of matter attract each other. Which increases their gravitational attract to other matter. It all begins to fall back towards the center. When the mass comes together and reaches a certain level, the explosion occurs again. Things are flung outward, they slow and attract each other, and then they gravitate back together.
You forgot the Father of Genetics and the paleontologist who took part in the discovery of Peking man and many more.
No, but energy and matter can change form. Wood is matter. But you can burn it to release energy.
... the infinite density and for lack of a better word infinite energy to go. I mean you would need mind before matter..
Very funny. Now try making some sense. Space and time are the only dimensions ever applied to "universe." First you need to locate an "origin" or "observer" somewhere for reference. Then the shit generally starts getting complicated..Coordinates! They are not "dimensions."Where is the energy for creating spacetime and the three dimensions of space or the x, y, and z-axes.
In geometry, a coordinate system is a system that uses one or more numbers, or coordinates, to uniquely determine the position of the points or other geometric elements on a manifold such as Euclidean space.[1][2]
Coordinates just give you your position. The dimensions give you actual space of the universe.
Instead of infinite temperature, couldn't they have said near infinite energy from such and such.

"Near infinite" is the better term ... or "approaches infinity" ... we're not allowed to use the word "infinity" to quantify things ... it's not a number, it's a quality ...
We can divide by zero, just the results are undefined ... the result exists, we have no way to state what that result is with a number ... infinity isn't a number ...
Both presuppose an alternative. You are stating that simply relying upon faith requires thought. It clearly doesn't. It's the default. Short a satisfactory alternative, godidit wins, every time. Even without all the crazed, git 'em while they're young indoctrination. The unknown triggers fears. Humans are wired to first seek a miraculous, lower brain stem, unthinking, fight or flight explanation. Like it or not, "secular" (in opposition to religious or supernatural) is the term you need to use in order to make sense in such contexts.atheist thinking or heretic thinking
A religious extremist hurling the “you are too biased”, slogan is comical.It's less important what a Catholic Priest may have believed vs. what cosmologists, physicists and mathematicians have discovered in the years since.

If you've read something that uses the term "infinite energy" ... throw your RED FLAG and read with an extremely critical mind ... it's a sure bet it's fake news ...
If there was infinite energy then, there'd be infinite energy today ... obviously not the case ...
