Islam Is the Only Truth

physicists and mathematicians working on Einstein's theory of gravity discovered the equations had some solutions that described an expanding universe. In these solutions, the light coming from distant objects would be redshifted as it traveled through the expanding universe. The redshift would increase with increasing distance to the object. In 1929 Edwin Hubble, working at the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, California, measured the redshifts of a number of distant galaxies. He also measured their relative distances by measuring the apparent brightness of a class of variable stars called Cepheids in each galaxy. When he plotted redshift against relative distance, he found that the redshift of distant galaxies increased as a linear function of their distance. The only explanation for this observation is that the universe was expanding.
Once scientists understood that the universe was expanding, they immediately realized that it would have been smaller in the past. At some point in the past, the entire universe would have been a single point. This point, later called the big bang, was the beginning of the universe as we understand it today.
The expanding universe is finite in both time and space. The reason that the universe did not collapse, as Newton's and Einstein's equations said it might, is that it had been expanding from the moment of its creation. The universe is in a constant state of change. The expanding universe, a new idea based on modern physics, laid to rest the paradoxes that troubled astronomers from ancient times until the early 20th Century

The equations of the expanding universe have three possible solutions, each of which predicts a different eventual fate for the universe as a whole. Which fate will ultimately befall the universe can be determined by measuring how fast the universe expands relative to how much matter the universe contains.

The three possible types of expanding universes are called open, flat, and closed universes. If the universe were open, it would expand forever. If the universe were flat, it would also expand forever, but the expansion rate would slow to zero after an infinite amount of time. If the universe were closed, it would eventually stop expanding and recollapse on itself, possibly leading to another big bang. In all three cases, the expansion slows, and the force that causes the slowing is gravity. A simple analogy to understand these three types of universes is to consider a spaceship launched from the surface of the Earth. If the spaceship does not have enough speed to escape the Earth's gravity, it will eventually fall back to Earth. This is analogous with a closed universe that recollapses. If the spaceship is given enough speed so that it has just enough energy to escape, then at an infinite distance away from the Earth, it will come to a stop (this is the flat universe). And lastly, if the ship is launched with more than enough energy to escape, it will always have some speed, even when it is an infinite distance away (the open universe).

  • You have spelled NOBLE wrongly.

    The only Miracle here is the fact that so many people believe this nonsense.

  • @hunga224 wow you are so obviously well educated and very eloquent...  Not... wrongly?? you spelled noble wrong. not Have or Wrongly

  • @shinobiung How much are you willing to bet?

  • @hunga224 I bet you could count the amount of muslims you have talked to on one hand

  • @shinobiung I find that the ones without beards are ok,

  • @hunga224 its not the muslims doing the killings, its not the muslims waging war all over the world. Actually, come to thnk about, the muslims I know are the most laid back ,chilled out people I have ever met.

  • @shinobiung Have a nice glass of beer ,smoke a joint ,put on a Cat Stevens CD ,and chill out.

    Put all this "Koran" nonsense behind you before it's too late.

  • @hunga224 is he who is on no guidance better than he who is on a course on to his Lord? whoever neglects the Quran, does it to the loss of his ownself. And he who adheres to the Quran is surely on a true path and sincere way to his Lord the most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And to Allah belongs the Universe, and with Him is a reward unfathamable and lasting

  • Yet another cherry-picking exercise to justify one's belief. But the problem here is, it's completely dishonest. Well, if you feel happy about it, go ahead. I still believe in the statistical recipients of the Nobel Laurette. Only a handful are Muslims.

  • @wsmshrb I don't have a big book of bad Ideas.

  • @hunga224 Don't criticize what you don't Understand

    why don't you show people your holy book
