h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I agree, Ski you great noodle. People may be [un]interested to read this article on The Big Bang wot I rit some time previously. You see, readers, at our school we REALLY like proving teachers, scientists and generally people in high authority wrong. Hey! We're British.

I have not read the text that you are plugging blatantly so your attempt to frame me with a Plagiarism charge must be punished by death(a flick).

*sigh*
matter and energy are one and the same thing in a different state. When the universe was born, all matter (= energy) was compressed in a singularity. Then it suddenly exploded. Think of the universe as a balloon. The volume inside is space... and as you blow up the balloon, it expands, so does the universe. btw, you stated that an explosion requires energy, but of course it's only the CONSEQUENCE of a sudden gigant concentrated increase in energy. Physics pretty well understands the concepts matter and energy. The problem is that we have no comprehension of dimensions. We don't know what they are and how many there are. I must admit thought, that I also ready came up with the idea that we are part of a microsoft simulation.

You said it, bro..
However I do tend to think the big bang is the consequence of a rather huge improbability field
Actually I don't think that ANY possible theory, accurate or not, will convince me, but then I'm just a product of my galaxy, baby!
To Marvin T Robot:
I would like to touch one point of that Big Bang entry.. that is where you claim that if the Universe isn't infinite, there has to be something surrounding it. This is a common logical error to make, and even DNA committed that sin! Infinity does not exclude anything. Also one infinity may be larger than the other. Infinities exist in all sizes and shapes, and are quite normal things. (for mathematicians, who also exist in all sizes and shapes, but tend not to be regarded by the rest of us as normal things )

'One INFINITY may be larger than another'?!!!!

The point of INFINITY is that it has no limits. Therefore, I can't see how one can be bigger than another - for a start, there can only be room for one infinity, and we're stuck in the middle of it.
On the other hand, who am I to say?

Oh yeah, another thing: I don't believe the Universe is infinite, but I don't believe that it has 'edges'. I belive it's sorta curved... it's very hard to explain - probably only something to be understood by (a) using an unfortunately fictional Total Perspective Vortex and a piece of Fairy Cake or (b) consuming an equally ficticious Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
Ho-hum.

you are right dude, the universe is curved and has not a center, did you know that? It is my believe that we are part of a multi-dimensional universe, like a slice out of a cube our universe is.
About infinities: you could say 1 * 2 and 2 * 2... just as well you can take any variable.. so it would be 1 * infinity and 2 * infinity. According to definition an infinite number of infinities can be described. Back to curving an centers. Because of the curving the universe has no center and therefore where ever you go, you won't leave (not in the oridanary way)
