@johnrcoben you said it perfectly "it predicts"

[johnrcoben]

@classiccafe1 It doesn't sound insane, it predicts the current state of the universe according to many parameters. You're pretty much talking out your ass, go take a class or at least read a book.

[classiccafe1]

@johnrcoben If you mean that what they teach in astronomy is the way it is? Like Albert Einstein's theories everyone thought that they were rock solid in regards to the speed of light but now there being questioned because of the Cern Labs Neutrino discoveries.With the technology we have we are basically just guessing.wrap your head around this theory,they suggest that there was a big bang a tiny particle exploded and created everything we see? Do you know how insane that sounds?

[johnrcoben]

@classiccafe1 OMG that is not even close to what we know, take an astronomy class

[classiccafe1]

@johnrcoben stranger things have happened, we do not have the mental capacity to even slightly guess on what we live in, all we know is were surrounded by planets and gases

[johnrcoben]

@classiccafe1 lol, another universe

[classiccafe1]

there are hundreds of theories hence "theoretical" physicist but im almost positive that we are 1 of many "big bangs" throughout the cosmos ,we cannot be driven by ego to suggest that our miniscule puff of smoke is the only thing out there when dealing with an unlimited or (so it's thought) vast universe?Many trillions of light years away there could be another universe or big bang and trillions of light years away from that another and so on,distance will hold us back on future discoveries

Probability suggests that our universe may be a part of a larger structure made up of smaller components similar to our universe (lets call them universe 1 and 2). The physics laws in universe 1 may be similar but not the same as in our universe, just as electrons and protons/neutrons, which make up a single molecule, behave differently. Electrons orbit the nucleus, and have an electrical charge. The fact we are small, doesn't mean that our universe is the largest and only structure out there...

[tropickman]

Well, we have approached finding the answer to beginning from the side of spontaneous reaction. We should also take into account possibility of our universe being a by product of an interaction of preexisting structures. Logical approach suggests that our universe is one among many similar objects, just like a molecule is made up of many atoms, which have particles behaving in different manners (protons, electrons, and neutrons) Our universe may be like an electron is in a certain molecule.
