My gut instinct? The Big Bang was a CFL bulb exploding! Prove me wrong—-

QED
Can you see Russia from there?
Thomas M.^^^^^
Nope, there weren`t no vodka in the first elements!
What always gets me is that light travels in one direction, when that light left there 13 billion years ago we did too. Now light moves much faster than we do so when we see light that is 13 billion years old it could not be from the big bang because that light passed us by billions of years ago.
Why is it that the PhDs can’t explain that to me? Also why is it that this light that began from a single point comes from everywhere?
Not light, heat – 3 degrees above absolute zero, which puts it in microwave freqs.
So———————the Big Bang happened————-in a microwave?
Which brand?
You forgot The Monster Of Scott Lake.
But some things, perhaps, are better forgotten.
You can smell ‘Lympia from Scott Lake.
Especially when The Monster breaks wind.
Now let me get this straight: The Big Bang came from over there, somewhere, right? But what was ‘there’ that made the Big Bang?
For that matter (or anti-matter): What was there before there was there, and where did that come from?
And yes, there will be a test, so prepare your answers carefully.
As I understand it, in the beginning, there was almost nothing, except a single point, which was all the energy of the entire universe. Some guy named Higgs dropped a boson on it and the damned thing exploded. The rest is history.
Jess, you’re not going to do well on The Hog’s test. Carefully prepare to define the “single point,” and its origin.

^^^ Jess ^^^,
I can guarantee you partial correct answer on Hogs test, by just pointing your finger——–any fucking where, and say “That`s where it was!” When Hog sez “bullshit” , you jist baffle him by sayin, “Einstein said it was *relative* and that, Prof. Hog IS relative!” [...jist don`t take any more of Hog`s classes, m-K?...]
I saw it on an episode of NOVA so it must be true; according to string theory once upon a time nothing in our universe existed in fact it didn’t exist at all, but in another universe two “Strings” of matter collided and that collision created the Big Bang in our universe and in the 13 billion years since, our universe could have created millions more…
Wow!! That guy can print really fast!!
OK, I get it that the Universe is expanding. So what’s it expanding into?
Gwillie (#5): Light’s been shining out from those far-away places for billions of years. It wasn’t a flashbulb. What we see now is what left there billions of years ago. It’s like a car that passes you on the freeway. You see it go far ahead.
Hog: “The Big Bang came from over there, somewhere, right? But what was ‘there’ that made the Big Bang?”
You’re absolutely right. It was Over There.
What really confounds me is the time reference. In our time reference, this all happened 14 billion years ago. In Higgs’ time frame, it was 1 second ago and he still has the “oh shit” look on his face.
As far as the single point: it was at the center. If you look towards Polaris on the last Sunday of the year, there’s a distinct possibility you might be looking in the right direction.

Answer that, win a Nobel Prize.
You have bumped up against the problem of problems, the singularity, or the end of the predictable history and the beginning of the knowable. Won’t keep folks from tryin’ to come up with a good explanation, though.
No, it didn’t happen “over there” it happed at what is now everywhere.

Ain’t nothin’ beyond to expand into, ’cause the Universe is all that there is. Ain’t no “edge.” It just gets bigger ‘s all.
So,
Nobody cares that SondraKistan will forever be identified, now, with a thermal bump just to the left of Polaris. This is some kind of immortality … well, as long as the database exists, anyway.
A very long time ago, one of the Titans of ancient mythology* lit a fart.
The universe has been expanding ever since.

When I was borne, I did not know that I existed.
When I was about 1 yr old, my mother was washing me in a dishpan on the kitchen shelf top, next to a wall plug in. I stuck a hairpin in the wall plug to mess with the shiny copper shit inside.
The doctor wrapped me in gauze like a mummy.
My mother laid me on a rug and moved the radio next to me. I chewed through the radio chord.
The doctor said the gauze prevented any need for more gauze.
Then, I knew I existed.
It was the “pits”!
One theory has it that if you stare through a big enough telescope, for long enough, what you will eventually see is the back of your own head.
Newton was close to proving this theory, but star-gazing didn’t pay all that much back in those days, and he had bills, and a family to feed, so he finally gave up and became a successful cookie maker instead.

Izz this a nother one of yewr polite hints for Headmissy to stare thu her Asylum telescope——on the chance we all might git a chance to see the back of her
