Re: Pink Unicorn
If GR breaks down and can't say anything about T=O It can't tell you if a singularity, nothing or The Pink Unicorn is at T=O.
You've been told multiple times: THE SINGULARITY IS NOT A PHYSICAL OBJECT. GR breaks down because the math produces a singularity at T=0, the singularity is a mathematical concept.

Re: Pink Unicorn
Remember that scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the father is trying to get the guards to guard his son? That's what this conversation is reminding of.

...Onward to Victory is the last great illusion the Republican Party has left to sell in this country, even to its own followers. They can't sell fiscal responsibility, they can't sell "values," they can't sell competence, they can't sell small government, they can't even sell the economy. -- Matt Taibbi

DrJones,

The math breaks down and can't say anything.
Only your assumption produces a singularity.
Present evidence not assertions.

No. The math produces the singularity. The singularity is the outcome of the math at T=0 and this is why we can say that the math breaks down.

Would you care to refute:
The page you were looking for doesn't exist (404)
. Cosmology can not predict anything about the universe unless it makes some assumption about the initial conditions. Without such an assumption,
The situation was made worse by the theorems that Roger and I proved. These showed that according to general relativity there should be a singularity in our past.
Penrose and Hawking proved there SHOULD be a singularity in our PAST.
Notice: They did not prove there was a singularity in our past.
Thus classical general relativity brings about its own downfall: it predicts that it can't predict the universe.
Hawking said Gr can't predict the universe.
Or do you just intend to blow smoke?

Jesus christ...you haven't learned a damned thing in this entire thread. A singularity is not a physical object, and neither is it a state of the universe, it's what we call the breakdown of the math. Weve told you this a dozen times in this very thread.
Ive come to the conclusion that it isnt worth talking to you regarding any science topics - you arent capable of learning even the most basic definitions, and insist that every hole in your understanding (a list of which would fill libraries) is a major gap in the actual theory.
Your face belongs right next to tesla's in the Fractally Wrong entry.

Re: I conclude with thanks
You don’t get it because you’re trying so very hard not to get it.
Your objections are strange. Just really, really strange.
“I could understand how increased mass could condense.” Is a meaningless sentence.
“It would react with it’s energy conditions into matter of a denser form.” is not only meaningless, but requires you to invent a physics (not to mention an English) for a learning aid.
You keep saying the maths this and the maths that , but exhibit no apparent understanding of even the simplest concepts. You keep saying new variables are being ignored without mentioning a single new idea to consider.
Another analogy: We attempt to understand the workings of an automobile. Some are discussing shock resonance inside the combustion chambers. Others examine drive line forces. I sit around giggling because it’s Yugo and someone has turbo charged it. You have a broken Pez dispenser from the glove compartment, a small tear in the vinyl upholstery, and a service spare. With your sundry evidences you claim everyone else is talking bollix, because the properties of the service spare when considered with the new variable of the nonfunctional Pez thrust mechanism, would require a general discontinuity of point conditional theories.
A meaningless statement does not gain from the quantity of detail.
To me its possible...
Stuff in the Universe is not a result of its being possible to us.
I do not have all the answers. But who does?
No one has claimed for themselves to have all the answers, and surely no one has accused you of it. But:
Those claiming i am an utter fool have accepted tentative theory with no doubts of any part of it being wrong?
Could you name a single person who has hinted at a denial of any theory of science not being tentative? Cogito ergo sum; all else is tentative, but we all understand this so it’s a bit of a rhythm breaker to have to say so after every assertion. Especially when those assertions are backed up with more evidence than any of use would ever be able to examine individually.
It is not we who are failing to grasp the thread.

Re: Evidence
Hi Rahvin,
I am not claiming the singularity is anything.
I am saying it don't exist.
I am presenting Hawking and Penrose testimony as evidence.
Unless you assume a singularity,
Unless you assume a pea sized universe,
There is nothing to expand.
Either refute the evidence or pass the baton.
Your continual assertions just will not convince me.
God Bless,

Re: Evidence
Frustrating isn't it?
Regarding singularities and the like, it's totally analogous to what I told Straggler here: http://EvC Forum: What is science? (ROB and STRAGGLER only) -->EvC Forum: What is science? (ROB and STRAGGLER only)
Rob:
There is no directly observable evidence of the big bang.
It is therefore strictly not empirical. But it is held as 'scientific' because it assumes a material origin. That cannot be proven...ever - minus omnipotence.
So back to my question...
If they don't have empirical evidence, then how can they conclude that only material evidence is valid?
Because methodological naturalism is not empirical, it is philsophical, i.e. religious belief.
Their god is a nature God. Mine is the God of nature.

Back to the BB, there are direct observable evidence for it. We've already told you a kazillion times what these are. If you don't know the direct evidence that we have of the BB by now, you will never get it.

For those that would like to understand better the difference between an expanding universe and simple relative motion between the galaxies, there is a good explanation here. Note that you can always pass from one point of view to the other through a change of coordinates, but that change of coordinates is valid only locally and that's why the former point of view is to be prefered when talking about the whole universe.

Taz I tell you there is a God. You say prove it. I say you have to believe it by faith. You say yea more fairy tales.
Now you and many others on here have told me several times the singularity is a not a physical thing. OK
I have been told several times there is a universe about the size of a pea that expanded into the universe as we know it. I say oh yea where did it come from.
I have been told we don't know. We just know that it is. I say well prove it.
Then I am told we have done that a kazillion times. I say to that would you please reference one of those times.
Better yet how about refuting the evidence I presented in Message 375

Re: Evidence
Hi Rob,
Frustrating isn't it?
Sometimes but I would say, I feel more pathetic than frustrated.
Tunnel vision is a terrible disease.
The worst part is I believe the universe came into existence Instantaneously.
I believe the universe expanded because God stretched out the heavens.
I know I believe this by faith.
Everybody that keeps trying to correct my belief keeps telling me they have evidence for the creation and the expansion.
When in reality all they have is faith it took place as they think it did.
God Bless and keep up the good work,
