Top 13 things that dont make sense (Science related)

**KRL** · 03-20-2005, 10:01 PM

Scientists in actuality know very very little about the Universe, though they think they have it all figured out.

very interesting

**arnette** · 03-20-2005, 10:04 PM

if the universe is 14b years old and 28b light years across then einsteins general and special theories of relativity are wrong

hence its a "things that dont make sense (Science related) "

no it doesn't.

they say "Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light"

i expect the good people at new scientist to be more informed than this.

anyway the horizon problem (as well as the uniform background radiation density) is easily explained if the shape of the universe is a 3-sphere

Read that a few days ago. The likely existence of a 10th planet brings to mind Zecharia Sitchin's The 12th Planet which talks about a 10th planet with a 3600 year orbit - the existence of which was known to the Sumerians. According to Sitchin, the planet was captured by the sun early in the solar system's history and was responsible for the destruction of a planet between Earth and Mars (the asteriod belt and our moon are all that's left of this former planet).

how do you figure?

einstein said that two things cant move at a speed faster than light relative to each other

I don't think in terms of the universe any scientist claims to have it "all figured out". If anything, they seem to be fascinated by how little they do know and how often theories change.

**reynold** · 03-20-2005, 10:23 PM

Yeah a lot of things does not make sense.

i will have to get back at you on this. i can't think right to process all of this. you may very well be correct.

It's going to be even funnier to see the people in this thread that think they have it all figured out.

**Matt_WildCash** · 03-20-2005, 10:59 PM

They know shit and guess 99.5 of it.

very very interesting.. for example.. The universe is 28 billion light years apart and yet our universe is only 14 billion years old.

start from one spot and expand in all directions.
speed of light 14billion lightyears to one direction...

14 billion <--- *BANG* --> 14 billion = 28 billion.

wooh waah, mystery.

**Jakke PNG** · 03-20-2005, 11:16 PM

That is *IF* big bang theory is real.

**Joe Citizen** · 03-20-2005, 11:21 PM

No, science does not know all... yet.

Still no reason to invent the supernatural to explain things we just can't explain yet.

In time, scientists will be able to tell us more about the way the universe works.

**zentz** · 03-21-2005, 12:43 AM

a mystery forever

this goes against einstein's theory of relativity

If Einstein's theory says that when something goes bang the blast will only travel in one direction then I think he was a little over rated

Why? The point of BANG stays put. One direction isn't compared to the other.

<-- 14billion compared to *bang*
*bang* compared to another 14 billion -->

**AsianDivaGirlsWebDude** · 03-21-2005, 01:06 AM

Okay, this one has always puzzled me, why do women always have to pee more than men, and in particular before traveling from one location to another?

wtf
u cant measure the age of something before the big bang, since it was the big bang that generated all the elements we know

Thats not what he is saying....

He is saying that the "bang" was the center of an explosion.... so it travelled 14Billion in all directions.... making the universe 28 billion accross
