Plasma cosmology

Um... uh... you do realize that the universe is a whole heck of a lot bigger than the Earth and its atmosphere, right?

Oh really? So, if we put a grain of sand under a microscope, we should see little balls orbiting a really big ball in the center? Because global warming doesn't adhere to any known law that we know of, except perhaps to the fact that CO2 in the atmosphere causes it to retain more heat from solar radiation. No, I didn't refer to it that way at all. I just think that it's a bit wacky to claim that global warming provides evidence of anything pertaining to the cosmos. Heck, I could claim that the moon proves that the universe is ever unchanging since the moon hasn't changed much for the last billion years or so except to gain a few more craters per million years. Yeah... sure....This message has been edited by Jacen, 10-04-2005 06:09 AM

Oh, so now it's not the solar system anymore. It's the galaxy.You do realize that we have moved passed the Bohr's model a while back, right? What you have just done is trying to change the subject. So, let's get back to the subject, shall we?You claimed that global warming is evidence that the universe is ever changing. I pointed out that the moon is evidence that the universe is unchanging. Rather than nitpicking what I said, why don't we deal with the idea that one puny little data point (Earth) is evidence of anything on a cosmic scale, shall we?This message has been edited by Jacen, 10-04-2005 12:28 PM

With all do respect, I think we aren't that far off from the OT. The OT is about big bang and cosmology. Andy made a claim that global warming demonstrated a changing universe. I just want to make it clear that it's not as simple as that by pointing out that based on that logic we could say that the moon demonstrates that the universe is unchanging. On a grand scale, we are still discussing about cosmology.ABEThe reason I am picking on this seemingly insignificant issue is because this same logic is used by creationists as "proof" against the big bang theory. They pointed out tiny little things like Uranus is on its side and Pluto's extreme elliptical orbit as "proof" that the universe must have been created by god exactly 6,000 years ago.You know how I react to this kind of argument.Anyway, you are probably right and I probably overreacted. No more responses from me to Andy in this thread, I swear.This message has been edited by Jacen, 10-04-2005 12:34 PM
