Two points: 1. Your proof? You talked to someone who was there? You had an ET ride? What? 2. Mass is not the only energy form out there. We are a long way from finding all the different radiations.

I want you to take a look at the form of the statement you just made. You made a positive assertion about something you confess we know nothing about. That is, you are making a definitive claim about the *unknown*. This is indistinguishable from a statement of religious faith. You can fully say, "We don't know one way or the other, but I personally *believe* that the universe is this way." When you say it carefully in that fashion, it's clear that what you're saying is not a scientific statement but one of faith. It's like saying that the soul lives forever. It's perfectly ok to say that one *believes* that the soul lives forever, but it should be recognized as a statement of faith, not of science. > Space is not empty- it is full of energy.

One knows the density of all the known players -- hydrogen atoms, photons, neutrinos, etc. Then one can calculate what the mean interaction time is between them. Then one can calculate what fraction of the current population has not had an interaction since the thermal horizon. It turns out that most of the hydrogen atoms we know of are like that. > > > > Your body will slow down because it interacts with the environment. > > > Yes, where there is a large concentration of matter, this is true. > > It's not true for the bulk of the universe where mass is very, very, > > very sparse. > > Two points: > 1.

No, but on the other hand, there is no value in *assuming* the existence of something for which we have no evidence. Otherwise, you might as well also include angels, leprechauns, and ectoplasm among the other mysterious things you suppose. > > > > My electron, although radiating, will not run out of energy because > > > the proton is constantly absorbing from the environment and > > > feeding the electron. > > > "Your electron" does NOT radiate, typically.

We have no evidence of that. Again, you're making a positive statement for which we have no evidence. Here's the evidence we have: 1. There are ample numbers of hydrogen atoms that have not collapsed for 14 billion years. 2. Among those things that we are aware of in the universe, most of those hydrogen atoms have not had any energy input from those sources. 3. Therefore there are hydrogen atoms that have not collapsed, despite no known energy input source. Here's what you're adding: 4. But it's simply impossible in your mind that a hydrogen atom can survive for 14 billion years without energy source. This is a FLAT statement on your part that is counter to experimental evidence. 5. Therefore you insist that there MUST be an energy source other than the known ones we can account for, and that this is the energy source for the atoms. Again, this is a flat statement on your part that is counter to experimental evidence. Both of those are statements of faith, not of science. > > > does happen very very commonly.
