NASA may have found oldest Galaxy (26/1/2011)

January 26th 2011

Physics professor Michio Kaku explains what effect NASA's discovery of a galaxy that could be 13-billion-years-old, almost as old as the big bang itself, could mean to science. Follow UFOs and Alien Life on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/ufosalienlife

Nobody care what you "believe", we have facts that the earth and the universe is billions year old. We would have technology that is "thousands times better" if there were never thing called institutionalised religion and church, they burned people alive who tried to do some real science...

@IAMTHEROBERTO: We know that it's growing because stars and galaxies are moving away from us at a rapit pace. That's how we know it isn't infinite, and we guess the age of the galaxy by how far we can see. Actually, it was estimated and finding the oldest galaxy to date makes that theory stronger.

@LDP060681: Yeah, but we all do have our own beliefs.

[LDP060681]

@DarthProlif that sounds like you've been conditioned by living in this universe. There's no reason to think a universe expanding into decay is a normal state of affairs. My eternally continuing one sounds more 'normal' lol

[DarthProlif]

@LDP060681It's hard to think it could even be plausible

[LDP060681]

@DarthProlif you could argue mitochondria against that at least on the biological level.... I've often wondered what a universe without a thermodynamic arrow would look like. Would life even be possible? Would it be stasis or rather eternal regeneration?

@LDP060681: To grow is to die, the ultimate fate is always death.

@LDP060681: yep

@DarthProlif bell curve: started in an infinitely long pauses of vacuum and weird quantum-photons-multidimension­al whoknowswhat. it'll fade back into semi-real dust too.
