Introduce yourself! (And show us your swag)

[Sage.In.Space]

My name is Sage and I am interested in studying astrophysics in college when I graduate hs and then go on to work in a lab when I'm done in college. I wanted to try to find a community of people who share interests so I came here to make friends and learn more.

 

[billslugg]

Welcome to SDC, there are plenty of people here with your same interests!

 

[Sage.In.Space]

Thanks for the welcome! Can't wait to talk to more people

Sage, what are your main interests? Planets? Star types? Galaxies? Big Bang? Observation?

I really wanna study the Big Bang more, it’s one of my biggest questions in life. I also want to learn more about anomalies and the math behind the universe (I love math). I’m not really interested in biology and planets but it’s still pretty cool.

Be careful about the Big Bang. It is completely against established science, such as the Law of Conservation of Matter (matter/energy), although who is to say that this applied at t = 0. This t = 0 should be distinguished from BBT (Big Bang Theory) which ceases to be science about a trillionth of a second short of t = 0. This is because science (Einstein) has equations involving division by zero which mathematics requires to be infinity.

My personal view is that BBT is ridiculous. I favour a cyclic Universe, of which there are several variant theories. Instead of the singularity (which is the centre of the scientific problem - requiring infinite temperature and density) there is a NON-infinite nexus, leading to another phase of the Universe. Critics say that there is a "philosophical" problem, in that there must have been a start somewhen.

But see this:

Goodbye infinity and all that infinite singularity and infinite density descriptions

As many of you are aware, I have serious problems in the application of infinity. and related infinite descriptions, to non-mathematical (reality) situations. Here is a post from 2022: https://forums.space.com/threads/big-bang-evidence.55635/#post-568525 Why do you bring infinity into it...

anomalies and the math behind the universe

Division by zero = infinity

Ask away if you have any questions on this.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought that if the mirror were a number it would be zero:
(+1|0|-1)
(+n|0|-n)
(+300,000kps|0|-300,000kps)
(t=+1(past history)|t=0|(future history)t=-1)
(+infinity |0|0| -infinity)

(+1(+n)/0 = (+1(+n)|0|-1(-n)))
(-1(-n)/0 = (-1(-n)|0|+1(+n)))
Achtung! Split the universe in two (+1,-1), or would it be three due to -- with -- a trojan ("The total of matter and energy in the universe equals (reduces to) zero ('0').

Folks,

Let's keep this thread only for Introductions and Welcomes. Other discussion would be better served in other threads.

Thanks,

Oh nice, I’m definitely going to read up on that so that I can broaden my research. I knew there were other theories but it’s hard to find the other ones when the BBT is the most talked about. Thank you l

Did your parents name you that? jkjk....I am sure that's not your real name, I assume you named yourself that.lol! On that note I think if a huge asteroid was headed for us I don't think they would tell us because of the panic that would happen.

A staunch fan of "Forbidden Planet", "When World's Collide", "The Day The Earth Stood Still", the entire Star Trek franchise, the Star Wars neverending saga. I so truly wanted to be an astronaut when I was in second grade that my teacher funneled every bit of information that she could find into my hands.

But, I became an engineer instead. Long retired after 40 plus years...and i enjoyed looking for opportunities to implement scientific discoveries into the real world. I still try to keep abreast of the progress of actual science in the current world.

Have a great day! Enjoy them while you have them and use them well.

Welcome to SDC! I too am a retired engineer with 40+ years experience. I didn't see Sputnik but I remember the Echo balloons.
