From: JeffRelf.F-M.FM on 12 Apr 2010 08:53 In the “Science and Engineering Indicators” survey by the “National Science Board”, 33 percent of Americans say: “ The universe began with a big explosion ”. No ! it wasn't like a chunk of dynamite going off, with spray diminishing over distance. The true/false question should've been: “ Since the start of the known Unverse, the cosmos has remained uniform but lost density. ”. Or, more precisely: “ Since the start of the known Unverse 13.75 giga·years ago, the cosmos has remained uniform but is now 1,088 times less dense. ”. Much eXergy was consumed ― forever lost ― to create the Universe we see today. Over “giga·parsec distances”, accrued entropy ( dissipation ) has straightened out space·time warpages, elongating then. Our ALWAYS uniform Universe has dissipated ( thinned out ) over giga·years as entropy accrued.
