Yes, the videos were extremely interesting, but they were also missing a lot of information and facts. The scientists are doing a great job trying to guess how it happened, but i believe that they will never know for sure. The human mind just isnt advanced enough to even fathom the idea of how the universe might have started. And its time they realized that. Its a great theory that the universe was once at a single point because everything is moving away from us at light speed. But for all we know, they are just traveling past otward from us due to the fact that there isnt any friction in space. A planet or star could have become stable and a supernova could have resulted, sending millions of rocks infinite in every direction. The only reason we dont fall out of orbit and drift around aimlessly as well, is because of the orbit of the sun, gravity, and whatnot. As the video showed, rocks would collide around and form larger conjoined rocks (like the bag of salt in space) until a single rock would get big enough to create a gravitational pull. Thus pulling more rocks to its surface infinitely, so i would guess. But im not sure why all of the space matter that space shuttles have to dodge to leave our planet doesnt fall and collide into earth... Anyway, there are a ton of unanswered questions that probably will never be answered. So just use your imagination and find your own belief. As for me, i believe the universe as we know it, is just a spec in the galaxy of another, and that galaxy is just a spec in another, and so on. Our planet is so miniscule and insignificant compared to all of space and time. I believe there are other planets that harbor life more intelligent and less intelligent than ours. But we will never know for sure. It isnt possible to make a machine that can travel through space at lightspeed to explore these ideas for ourselves. We cant even make it past the moon, yet the end of our solar system. And another interesting thought is that there are areas on our own planet that we do not have the technology to visit. The deepest oceans and trenches on earth have so much crushing force that we cannot explore these places. But we know its possible, because pictures have been taken of fish who can survive in such environments. We just need to invent the technology. I just think we have a lot to figure out about our own planet before we move on to conquering others.
And on a side note, i was just thinking, if there was a "big bang" and the universe was formed, and it is infinitely traveling in all directions, could you imagine if the "big bang" was replicated in another place in empty space. Two ground-zero points shooting universes in every direction infinitely. What happens when they collide at the speed of light?

  1. I really like your last idea!!! that would be CRAZY!! But being as the universe is so big, uneneding, still growing, thers gotta be more then two ground-zero points don't you think?? But maybe they were created in different ways.
    I do think though, that theories are important. Its part of who people are, to be curious about things. When there are theories thrown out, its jsut the ones everyone is interested in as a maority, like how the earth was created. Also, some of the theories even make sense. SO why not theorize? Maybe scientists are trying to figure out a way to explore the ocean floor where the fish live that can't get crushed from the pressure. Don't forget, when they are brought to the surface they don't exactly survive...It's all about experimenting. We are just more interested in making it to the ocean floor alive, while those fish are content to hang out where they know they'll survive. I think there is a possiblity of humans making it to the floor. If they got pictures, that means the camera didnt' get crushed, and that is just one small step to a submarine that won't either. Same way with exploring space. It's ok for us to take small steps. Just like trying to figure out how the earth was created. WE know we are insignificant in the whole scheme of the universe, but that doesn't make us any less curious. Nor does it make us any less important. WE might be small, be we are all still living on a world of lots of problems that we want to figure out.
    Ok. wow. THis has gotten very long and I don't know if I stayed on topic so well. Thats just what I thought when i read your paragraph. IT had good points.

  2. Lots of good points I like your big bang theory. But not sure about your coment
    "The human mind just isnt advanced enough to even fathom the idea of how the universe might have started. And its time they realized that". Because in 1960 President Kennedy proposed that the US go to the moon. We did not even know how to get their. But it happen. If we can theorize our own thoughts on how the universe was formed and stays in place. We must have gotten that information somewhere to come up with that thought. Your right curiosity is what fuels the spirit of knowledge. We may not be ready to understand how it all started. We could be just a spec on a flower. But we are important in this universe and finding out why we are is a pretty good theory for me. You are right as well we do need to explore our own earth and find out how and why creatures can live in the depths of the ocean. But among the many the many are curious and we can get past the moon if we need to. We can and it will happen in some life time.

  3. I also do believe we are a spec in the universe and somewhere else in the universe holds life. Of course it probably is very different than Earth. Don't scientists think that Mars once held water? Or was it the moon? As time goes on, our technology will improve and have some form or thing make it to the deepest part of the oceans/trenches.
