Expanding universe theory wins Nobel Prize

Three US-born scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics after discovering that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate.

Saul Perlmutter of Berkeley National Laboratory, along with Brian Schmidt of Australian National University, and Adam Riess of Johns Hopkins University together share the $1.5m prize.

Their study of exploding stars revealed that after the Big Bang, the universe continued to expand for several billion years, but at a slower rate than today.

Obama got a Nobel prize also, what does that tell you!? LOL

[fastballonly]

@selfsenter Okay, then tell me the exact chapter and verses in the Quran where the expansion of the universe is explained in detail.

Don't tell me you can only quote it in Arabic that I don't happen to speak.

Translation will do. Every language is the same in essence as an innate human faculty.

I can tell you before you reply already, that whatever you will bring is going to be nothing more than casuistry, a reverse engineering.

this fact mentioned in Qraan (ISLAM) since 1500years

and see vedios in youtube about "science in Qur'an expansion of universe "

nit this only, but also lot other science mirals r mentioned in Quraan, see in youtube about science miralcs in quran, wr u see lot science fields quraan talked about before1500years, and nowadayas scientists deiscover some of them

wt this means?!

it means Qraan IS frm GOD

ISLAM IS REAL RELIGION

see that then follow truth my friend before death :(

ALLAH AKBAR

The universe expanding acceleration is at its maximum rate …hmm … Its matter of time before the acceleration vector rotate 180 degrees to point towards our solar system … and with no time …the universe contracts and shrinks back to the point of origin. Those bold scientists won't find enough time to publish that as a new theory because it will be the Judgment Day O_O

@fastballonly

Sure.

[fastballonly]

@selfsenter You have the right to believe in anything. But you need to keep it to yourselves. At least in the scientific search for knowledge, religion must be ejected and has been for quite some time.

I have read the Quran and Hadiths and realize that these are all cheap plagiarism of the old and new Testaments. Mohamed was an epileptic, illiterate merchant in the dessert who thought he heard something in his head. Nothing in Islam has any "factual reality" at all.

@selfsenter Evolution is NOT explained in Islam. What is this? A joke? Muslims believe that humans come from Adam? Does Islam not teach you that the age of the universe is some 6000 or 10000 years old?

Unless there are verses in the Quran that explains in detail of the theory of evolution, such as DNA sequential differences among species etc, Quran is no basis for anything in science.

The "scattered albeit vague quotes" can be conveniently interpreted by its adherants. It does not count.

[selfsenter]

@fastballonly

And that's its mystery. You are arguing with me over reverse engineering a quote but i am telling you will you stand back for a minute and take a look at the quote.

Its not talking about will fire burn you or is this food poisonous or not

The quote is addressing issues of plate tectonics,space expansion,the invisible sea barriers & i'm supposed to believe a goat herder in the desert who could not write made it all up while it hits me in the face with a dose it factual reality

@fastballonly

Alright man, to each his own.

also evolution is explained in islam but very briefly , that we humans did evolve but from other forms of humans. Different sizes and structure but not reaching as far as the monkey sequence.

I wont claim everything is explained , and i dont expect everything to be explained. We have a mind of our own to think and figure out the mechanics of the world.

The point of these scattered albeit vague quotes of scientific facts is not to explain life.

[fastballonly]

@selfsenter You claimed it without any concrete evidence. All you did was quote a book of fiction. You cannot just assert that Quran has scientific value without justification.

>God gave us a mind to figure out what he did and we have a duty to break down and explain everything available to us but he does not have to.

Here, you are talking as though "God" was an a priori existence while in fact there is not a shred of evidence for it. You can't use God as a premise to back up any argument.

[selfsenter]

@fastballonly

I claimed it has scientific value and provided the evidence.

Now should the receiver of this information wish to get into technicalities i stop my argument there seeing how pointless it is.

Its like i solved a mathematical problem correctly without showing the process

And someone after me also solves it and explains the process

God gave us a mind to figure out what he did and we have a duty to break down and explain everything available to us but he does not have to.

Peace.
