Fundamentals of Geology (Part 2: Inflation of the Universe)

This video explores the faster than light expansion of the universe (known as inflation) and sets into motion the series of events that became the foundation for geology as we know it. Select portions of the "FoG" series are from content originally created by the Cassiopeia Project.

I feel I need to ask this.... if space is moving apart faster than the speed of light, and light therefor travels toward you slower than the space it occupies moving the opposite way, then isn't the SETI (Search For Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) program pointless? Wouldn't signals sent out from Earth never reach their intended destinations?

[Geochron]

To some extent, SETI is restrained by time and distance. However, life could have existed for billions of years before it did on Earth.

creationists cant hang with knowledge like this.....

so interesting, love sitting imagining things like this. thx for the upload

Only two parts?! That's it, I'm jumping out the window. :)

That would be sweet to have entire lessons here on youtube. Enough to get a PhD in.

Imagine two balls upon a big sheet of rubber.

Relativity (as I understand it, probably badly) says those balls cannot move across the surface of the rubber faster than the speed of light.

Thats is, relative to the local space( or rubber surface).

But, you could stretch the rubber as fast as you want, so the balls appear to move away from each other that fast.

well The universe has mass and its moving FASTER Then Light ...actually That what i been Trying To find out since i was alittle kid ...einstein was WRONG !

[discountzone]

so The idea That no object with mass can accel To light speed is DEAD WRONG ,

and This is a certian proof That einstein was WRONG ...because he said " no object WITH MASS can accel To The speed of light " LOL ..

Awesome video. One of the best explanations I have seen. Nature is so much more awe-inspiring than the creation stories made up by man.

Its not against the rules if its not really the matter itself that it is moving, Rather the space which it Occupies.
