(There's no 'Doppler shift', just the aging of light.) Even so, astronomers haven't been able to locate any area of sky that doesn't seem about equally dense with stars. If the Universe is now just a thin surface, like on an expanding balloon, looking along the 'plain' of the surface should show more stars than looking perpendicular to the surface of the "balloon", inward or outward. Since no such difference can be observed, then the Universe couldn't be expanding... from a Big Bang, because no BB ever happened! Much of what tries to pass for science simply follows Einstein's Moronic example and INVENTS whatever is necessary to save the wrong theory. It has been suggested that belief in the BB is necessary to give those needing to have a... "creation event" a reason for being. The BB is RELIGION, NOT science. I suspect you will agree.

The answer is a resounding YES! But a new generation of experiment, costing a great deal more, will be needed to give the absolute numbers. I can envision having dozens of such interferometers functioning in unison to determine absolute speed so accurately, that it can be proven that the Universe is NOT expanding from the BB.

Dear Socratis: There is a small combined motion that causes a slight miss-throwing of the ball on Earth. If the relative motions of merry- go-round in space are the same as on Earth, the ball should behave identically. The "rule" determining the accuracy of a throw when the whole merry-go-round isn't transversing, only rotating, is: Since the thrower and the person being thrown to are always in the same relative position, the pitch would be the same as if the merry-go-round was standing still. Please explain how you suppose motion through space can be proved using a merry-go-round. � NoEinstein � Not just 'moving' in space - *rotating* in space. I'm trying to prove absolute motion with a thought experiment, and I actually do want to be corrected if I'm wrong. Out in space on a merry-go-round that's not moving. Not rotating, or moving relative to any nearby stars. You toss the ball straight away from you - it goes directly to the person across from you. Out in space on a merry-go-round that's rotating, but not traveling relative to any nearby stars. You toss the ball straight away from you (directly toward the person opposite) - it curves away toward someone These are different cases, with different results. The difference is one is rotating and one is not, and each has a distinct behavior. I don't understand why this leads to such arguments. It simply shows absolute motion. |
