  • Im reading the book right now and it is wonderfull. These concepts are explained more clearly in the book :)

  • @ldl1949 Well there are only so many letters let let me put into a comment. For more clarity you can see my videos.

  • @LukeCoulson happy Christmas to you too :)

    you cant wrap infinity.... but I'm sure Santa can work out something nice to compensate.

  • @ldl1949 Thanks, seasons greetings. I get all claustrophobic in confined spaces. Now that I’ve got it; infinity, I’m going to need a box to put it in. Can I get that gift wrapped?

  • @LukeCoulson I agree. but you see this a lot. people find it difficult to except the term infinite.

  • @mikefromspace if you would like people to agree with you, you have have to be more clear...

  • Dear HebrewUniversity,

    The question asked at 1:07:11/1:16:18 about the mismatch of the 14 Billion year age of the Universe and the 46 billion light year distance of observed "heat".

    is not (I feel) adequately addressed by Primack. In fact it (the extrapolation) is quite embarrassing to listen to/watch. Thankfully, the Gas expert (other man on stage) states the fact that the universe may well be (is) infinite as is time (controversially (according to Primack)).

    Your sincerely,

    Lucian Coulson.

  • There is no universe center. The universe is infinite. The 'red shift' is caused since waves are kinetic, through particles only hitting eachother, not magically sucking or wiggling to eachother using ridiculous strings. I've proven this in my theory. Black holes do not simply build in density. They fill space with massive particles, this is why we have galactic bulge. Stars do the same to a small degree. Recycling particles that allow waves causes wave slowing, am I the only one that see this?

  • I have a question for this man: why do all the jews put the symbol EAN on the back of their books, including this one and the satanic bible?

  • That's TOO JEWISH FOR ME!
