Yes, you are right, in our universe th Yes, you are right, in our universe there is no such thing as nothing. The empty space between stars and galaxies is full of virtual and real particles, matter is similar but more complicated and much denser of course! In addition the universe is full of...

Why do you call them platitudes? Items 1 and 2 above are exactly true so not platitudes. Item 3 is just plain silly, most of what I know is certainly unrelated to quantum theory!

Are you including all EM radiation from gamma rays through ultra violet, visible light, infra red, then radio waves? The mixture clearly varies tremendously from the centre of galaxies to intergalactic space. How does your scheme account for the numerous, and increasingly precise, measurements...

what a huge amount of piffle!

There is a lot, I mean a lot, of evidence to support BBT! Do you have a competing theory which better supports the known data?

No, we are travelling at a few miles per second relative to our sun and a few tens of miles per second only relative to stars near us. Apart from light and other EM radiation plus 'cosmic rays' which travel at or near light speed, everything else potters around at a modest speed. And, no, we are...

What a silly and untrue story!

Just choose half a dozen papers from Nature over the last 30 years shall we say, and you will understand! Perhaps!

Yes, absolutely agree. The idea of living on Mars is just silly, what's the point anyway? There are some people that would be better off living on Mars though, Trump and Musk for starters!

The point of going to Mars is to study and understand it, not to live there!

Not all wells in the universe are sinkholes and we only know of those on earth. The ones I know are not sinkholes!

Mars is not a sinkhole, that's a really silly description! It is an absolutely fascinating place which we have only just started to explore. There may once have been life there, there may still be under ground. It is one of the most interesting places in the solar system, along with earth and...

No, cosmology is not more metaphysics than science, it is a very extensive and researched area of astronomical science.

How else do you think? With a little bang or goddidit?

It's dead easy to have a constant speed and not constant velocity! Just run in a circle.
