So "The Big Bang" in is infinite directions?????????
What a handy hiding place! The chances of tracing the
origin being infinite also.................

Hi Jim,

Come on, you know better than that. The theory
also says the universe was homogenous at large
scales so conditions here were the same as
everywhere else. The hydrogen atoms in your body
were made in the bang.

G'day George
I think it much more likely that the H in my system has been
in the form of emr particles (of whatever denomination- and including
nutrinos etal), and higher on the nuclear table
an INFINITE number of times. I just happen to be a combination of those
in the H mode at this period.

That would be an alternative view but I
was addressing the apparent error in your
understanding of the Big Bang model. In
that, the hot, dense phase occurred
everywhere, not at a single location.

As for the homogoneity, pop the balloon (in vacuum), and the air LOOSES
its homogeneity.

In the balloon analogy, it is the (2D)
rubber that represents our (3D) space.
The rubber is homogenous but gets
thinner as the balloon swells.

I realise that BB purports that an "external"
expansion carries matter with it,

Nope, we discussed this at length many
months ago. The expansion is of the
three dimensions of space. Go back to
our lengthy thread with Sean.

in order to bring about the increase
in volume of the universe, but it doesn't wash!
The air molecules on one side have a gravitational attraction towards
the other side (on average) which discount the homogenous expansion of
the universe--- or is that why anti-gravity is required??

That is what creates galaxies. Over
short ranges matter is drawn together
by gravity while it is too weak at
longer ranges and the universe
continues to expand.

The cosmological term is required only
because the expansion appears to be
speeding up when it was expected to
be slowing down.
