How many people are there in the Universe?

[Paddy]

I tell you what T,. I'll do you if you can do me???

[Fat Tone]

As long as you use something sharper than a housebrick

[jonnylane]

housebrick? what?

like my new avatar?

i got it from www.3dflags.com

check out those dimensions and size. Close to the edge. i had to reduce the number of colours to get it to fit.

v. much looking forward to dinner tonight P. I might go for the Cow Pie:



tasty

[Paddy]

Yup, Cow pie looks good (Although they didn't have any when we went last )

[jonnylane]

yes, i heard.

theres always the protein overdose topped off with quarter of a pint of mouldy cheese.

hang on, im drooling.....

[KvHagedorn]

Cow pie? That's what we call the big globs of shite left behind by the beasts.

Obviously it has a different meaning on the other side of the pond..

Yeah, not interest in trying to re-digest something that's been through 6 stomachs already!

What's in a cow pie?

[Paddy]

It was more of a pastry and gravy pie I was expecting a bit more cow....

How can the universe be infinite when space is curved? It's sure to come back on itself sooner or later, in which case it must be finite.

Starting at the big bang, all the matter in the universe was pulled gravitationally into a minute space at such a rate that the space between the particles was eliminated. The result of the explosion was sending all the debris, which was blown into subatomic particles, most of which combined into hydrogen atoms. Today, at the farthest reaches of the universe, there are still clouds of hydrogen atoms that have not collided or been pulled into gravitational fields or slowed down by them. It would seem reasonable that these pioneer atoms that have travelled farthest from the centre form a sphere of unimaginable radius (curved). I would guess that, as their kinetic energy is eventually dissipated by collisions and gravitational pull, one day, in a few zillion years, they will stop and go into reverse gear and all matter will be pulled back again to the centre for the next big bang. However, I'm not worrying about that happening, at least today
...

The expansion of universe is rather expansion of space time itself, not the mattery - practically, even the things beyond the "border" of visible universe (so it means that their speed, relative to us, is greater than speed of light; it also means that they're beyond our range etarnally...) don't move locally...

btw, it appears that it's accelerating...

See what I don't get is that there's always a beginning to everything. Why? Why do we (us humans) ALWAYS say that there's a beginning to everything? Especially in regards to the Universe (something we know little about anyways). I mean there's so much about it we don't know, and what's even funnier is we barely know much about our on planet yet we can say which such confidence that the rest is so, like the big bang. But I guess it's one perspective though.

There isn't much sense in asking what was "before" big bang - the time "started" then. So I think it's allowed to say that everything started then...

[jonnylane]

yes, the cow pie was dissapointing.

the burger on the other hand was 16oz of pure prime beef with 8 onion rings, cheese, 2 rashers of bacon, grilled mushrooms fries and salad.

im a bifta, and i ate 2/3 of it.

paddy finished it off for me though

[Paddy]

yup

I do love food

It might be allowed to say, but I'm still not convinced that the so called "Big Bang" theory is anywhere near the beginning of time let alone the beginning of anything at all.

But in a way your right, it doesn't make much sense to ask what's before because no one really knows.

[Paddy]

Bah! I 50years time everyone will look back at this theory and laugh.

I would be very supprised to find out that we have got it right....
