By that I mean that it was not expected, until the "missing" Neutrino problem manifested itself.<br /><br />(Holy crud - I said "Electron" when I meant "Neutrino" - time to cease trying to work and post simultaneously. It has not been working well for me of late)<br /><br />Mistype notwithstanding, I fully agree with you. However, this wasn't expected either. There are already a few small bugaboos in modern physics. For example, that some of the universal constants aren't quite as immutable as originally thought.<br /><br />As to the Wormhole idea, yes it is a valid theoretical entity. However, the same physics that prove that it's possible they exist, also won't allow it to be used for anything. It is not even the size of an atom, it is fickle and unstable, and there appears to be no way around this (there was one idea involving negative energy and exotic matter, but that is beyond science fiction at the moment) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

You know..The BB theory does not account for the black holes at the center of each galaxy. I came to believe that black holes are born from massive star explosions or (implosions). You see where I'm going with this, how can the BB just spit out super massive black holes.<br /><br /> I'm at a lost on figuring out how they have come to be!!! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<b>Pioneer0333 - </b><br /><br /><i>"I came to believe that black holes are born from massive star explosions..."</i><br /><br />The Super-massive variety of Black Hole, which is postulated to be found at the center of all galaxies, is a very different animal from the Stellar Black Hole which you are referring to. Here's a nice SDC Super-massive BH article. <br /><br />Apparently, the Super-massive BH's formed during (or very shortly after) the Big Bang event because we observe so many very old galaxies, which needed time to collect and form their associated accretion discs -- the BHs had to be there very early on! <br /><br />The most widely accepted reasoning as to why these Super-massive BHs were able to form so early is usually explained as the speculative "Lumpy" Big Bang hypothesis... <img src="/images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /><br /><br />Stellar BH's, OTOH, are formed as you stated; here's a nice NASA Stellar BH webpage. <br /><br />Stellar mass black holes, generated from collapsing stars, range up to perhaps 10 solar masses. The minimal super massive black hole is in the range of a hundred thousand solar masses.<br /><br />QUESTION: Are there any Black Holes that fall between the mass range of the Super-massive BH and the Stellar BH? <br />

Why do we have a particle or existence in the first place? What happened before the universe? Is there such a thing as non-existence?

not to go all religious on you but if you cant explain what was before the universe, only a higher power could have created it. I dont beleive in non-existance

Not to go all scientific on you, but if you can't explain what was before the Universe, study harder, dig deeper, learn more and enjoy the journey. Maybe, just maybe, someday the wealth of knowledge gained from previous journeys and newfound knowledge will reveal the answers. I mean this in no derogatory way, but I find attributing the unexeplained to "higher powers" is a primitive thought process. I personally believe the idea of a god creating the universe belittles the beautiful elegance of it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div> </div><br /><div><span style="color:#0000ff" class="Apple-style-span">"If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing." - Homer Simpson</span></div> </div>

"I dont beleive in non-existance "<br /><br />Ok, so what existed before God? If you say nothing, then you believe in non-existence. If, as I assume, you say, God has always existed, then why can't the universe have always existed, just cycling through an eternity of big bangs or whatever?

<font color="yellow"><br />QUESTION: Are there any Black Holes that fall between the mass range of the Super-massive BH and the Stellar BH? </font><br /><br />Yes, IIRC, there are. They're found in Globular Clusters, and were called medium sized blackholes in a Sky & Telescope magazine article, awhile back. IIRC, the sizes were between 10-100 solar masses.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="4"><strong></strong></font></p> </div>
