Big Bang, or Big Bust...?

Question

the "visible" universe is estimated at 156 billion light years across.(www.space.com) the estimated age of the universe is 15 billion years old. Half the distance being approx 78 bill. light years ( just for easy math) the speed of light would have to be more than 5 times that it is accepted to be achievable for us to have a visible universe so big. Where is the error to theory unless God made it so?

Answer 1

I agree. It also looks like the others did not care to carry the debate any further than their opening rebut.

Answer 2

Why is it either"we understand it", or "goddidit"?

Why can't it be, we're working on it?  

I bet if this site were around 500 years ago, you'd be asking questions like, "How can the world be round? we'd all fall off the sides!"

Answer 3

Yet again a argument based on partial facts mixed in with invalid assumptions.  I'd try taking several courses in astronomy and cosmology before attempting this again.

Answer 4

Not all the light came from the Big Bang, sweetie.  It comes from the individual particles and masses in space, so it doesn't have to travel the entire distance of the universe.

Answer 5

The Bible states 11 times that God "stretched, stretches or is stretching" out the Heavens...which is what we observe in the expansion of the universe. It also shows that it was not only an initial action during the creation of the universe but an ongoing one as well. We know today that the universe must be expanding for life to exist.... a static one is impossible according to the laws of physics ( although man thought this was so for centuries...even Einstein called it his greatest blunder to accept a static universe) and a collapsing universe would not support life for very long. This distances we assign for the size of the universe could be the result of general relativity theories and also a gravity well in which observers on earth view light that seems to have traveled for a great time and distance...whereas an observer at the edges of space would only have seen a short time elapse. The speed of light has also been shown to have been much faster in the past.

The Big Bang theory starts with an infinitesimally small point of a singularity which somehow expanded.....the question is.. How did the singularity overcome the force of gravity holding it together? Black holes have trillions of times less gravity and not even light escapes from them.

Answer 6

Learn more about it and you'll understand why there is no error. The current most well-established theory (inflation) is that it expanded faster than the speed of light for a time. There is no problem with this. The speed of light is the speed limit when traveling IN space. It's not a limit on the speed at which space itself can expand. Space can expand faster than the speed of light.

Answer 7

who's got a big bust?

Answer 8

we dont see the end of the universe, we did the math by the sound of the radiations that are left of the explosion the age of the earth etc
