At 1:06 the narrator says the universe expended a whole lot faster then the speed of light. This means the maximumspeed of any phenomenon decreased over time to what it is now(speed of light). Is it still decreasing? if not, how can you be sure? Or do physicians just don't count the boundary of the universe to be a part of the universe?

@inqubeko The speed of light as measured -- or as could be measure -- by any observer anywhere or anywhen has never changed. Various clever measurements and experiments have been done to examine the possibility that the speed of light may vary over time. And although the debate is not over, so far the results point to an amazingly constant speed of light.

"Space soomed faster than thought" And how fast can thought travel? lol rediculous.

"Good thing too because gravity was about to squeeze that baby universe". If there was no time how can something be "about to" do anything? Oh dear another bad mistake.

"For gravity to do 'its work'?" Gravity does not have a will, and does not have work to do.

One false statement after another in this video. What are we teaching our kids?!

[cassiopeiaproject]

The lambda-cold-dark-model of the universe includes the inflation phase wherein the universe grew from about a planck length in dimension to perhaps billions of light years across. And it did this in maybe 10^-32 seconds. Thought is actually pretty slow by comparison. Without inflation, gravity would have prevented the universe as we know it today. And yes gravity can do what gravity does without thinking about it.

Absolutely... because there isn't a natural explanation at the moment... then only Santa Clause could've done it. Jeez... evidence of the dumbing down of the world. Also evidence of the absolute necessity to remove religion for the protection of our species.

@petethefrogger I would agree with, except that they keep trying to tell me I have to live by their insane rules. If they're too insecure to deal with reality, that is the creationists' problem.

[petethefrogger]

@Exmech2

I agree with you, but we should not try to destroy the faith of creationists. Let them believe what they want and live the way that they want (within reason) as they will not be alive forever.

So the first stars burned out in 3 million years and the next stars didn't form for another 500 million years? So for 497 million years the universe was dark?

@inqubeko the universe is not an expansion of matter into space that is waiting ti be filled up , its the actual expansion of space itself , space can travel faster than light because light is moving through space..

@Nomoreidsleft Who did God say 'Let there be light' to, exactly? Who was listening, and how would they have known what he was talking about?

@cassiopeiaproject My comments we directed towards a lax WAY of explaining the universe, as if it were a living entity. As far as science is concerned, it should not adopt pantheistic language. Describing the universe as "having work to do" and being able to stand toe-to-toe with the infinite capacity of the human soul, and using the term time, where no time existed. Poor use of language which buddists, gaia lovers and tibetan yogi's capitalise on.

[havock89]

@cassiopeiaproject And thought can always go faster. You give me 10^-32 i can think of something faster. I am not talking about the speed at which neurons fire, but the fact that the human mind can concieve of the infinite, whereas the universe can only ever consist of the finite. Proof if ever one needed it, that the soul is not merely the product of the brain.

[havock89]

@Nomoreidsleft Where does this statement come from? My comments were to do with the scientific information being portrayed in an abyssmal manner, not the teleological causation of the universe.

Science deals with proximal causation to explain the behaviour of physical phenomenon. It has nothing to do with the reason behind creation. Science has nothing to say about religion, but religion has plenty to say about science. Thats just the way of things. How accurate it is depends on the religion.
