The Big Bang - BCCP Cosmology Workshop

In the beginning, there was a singularity, containing everything compacted to an infinite density. This was before space existed, even before time existed...Written and produced by SF Bay Area high school students for the 2008 BCCP Cosmology Workshop.

Imagine 6 days of learning about the entire history of the universe, from its inception 13.7 billion years ago, to the stages of cosmic evolution; matter and antimatter; the electromagnetic spectrum; dark matter and dark energy; General and Special Relativity; neutrino astrophysics; and nuclear radioactive decay.

Then you have to sort through this dense volume of information and write a script about one of these concepts in 2 days.

i doubt god did anything

*sigh*

Great. Another ignorant person comparing science and faith.

Expansion not Explosion

Through relativity theory of Einstein of over one century, it hold with strength - as a conspiracy a general activity of intellectual stultify of the planetary population. From relativity theory proceed the notion of: singularity, big bang, black holes and holes of worm. From 1905 and till now 2011, disciples of to Einstein, preach with contumely, as scientific elements of high class these theoretical confusions, these absurdities from which they had made a business.

@marz80801980 "you do you're FN HW..."

How ironic that you're questioning MY intelligence level when you are posting such childish, non-sensical drivel. Time to move out of your parent's basement and get your GED. ;)

@marz80801980 wow, you're really angry! Trying to win the internet? LMAO. Good luck with that, kid. Is what Planck said supposed to prove God? All he did was inject unsubstantiated religious assertions into quantum theory, without actually attempting to back up any of these ridiculous supernatural claims. See the sentence that starts with "We must ASSUME...."? If you knew anything about science, you would know that you cannot ASSUME anything. Quantum theory has come a long ways since Planck

@Stringmoron “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.”

And; “Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.” Max Planck

@Stringprodigy Hey cumdroplet of idiocy...you do you're FN HW, instead of being an ass pirate here. Familiar with Max Planck?

“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force..We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.”

Father of Quantum Theory huh yeah..

@marz80801980, man you're really bad at trolling. Try again, bud. ;)
