the speed of the universe

i just watched a show about dark matter and dark energy
i think dark matter is really gravity
We dont really know what medium gravity uses.
light uses photons that we once thought to be waves, then particles
then both.
I read that at least one guy thinks the universe isnt expanding,
but everything in it is just getting smaller
(no thats not a joke)
I think its entirely possible that the universe is not really expanding,
but that we just think it is, its an illusion.

Think about the speed of anything....
to determine speed, one needs a reference point.
But what if that reference is moving ?
Then the speed can ONLY be used in relation to the reference,
and NOT the rest of the universe.

Since the earth rotates around its axis,
and the earth revolves around the sun
and the sun revolves around the galaxy
and a galaxy cluster.... etc...etc...


So what if all these come together ?
is there an addition of speed ?





Lets say the earth rotates on its axis (clockwise)
near the equator that would be about 1000 mph
I have no idea on how fast the earth revolves around the sun,
or the sun around the galaxy etc...

but lets say we add all of these together....
lets say it comes to just under the speed of light
say, 500mph less
Then we launch a rocket off the earth at 600mph

Are we then really going faster than the speed of light ?

This verifies that GOD does not exist

This verifies that GOD does not exist
at hi5.com

This has become a big thread at HI5
it has a lot to do with evolution, the big bang, religion, and the beginning of life.

Here is the first post...

Everyone could say that god is infinitely love, if something is infinite there is impossible their opposite,We all know that hate is present in the world, So god could not be infinitely love because there is hate. Then god, like infinite "be", does not exists.\

//All who state that the universe came into existence from nothing violate the first law of thermodynamics//

actually, supposedly matter can not be created or destroyed.
BUT, it can.
In very small amounts, in a thermonuclear process
(like the sun, etc...) it can be destroyed.
Some physicists also believe that in the void of space matter can be created in very small quantities.

All this is really besides the point.
Just because we havent found the right formula yet doesnt mean that something isnt real.
Not so very long ago everyone thought the world was flat.

i never accepted the big bang, i have always been a proponent of the steady state theory.
Most physicists think im a crackpot, but some of them are starting to eat their words now.
Recently they found that they made some big mistakes on the "red shift" which is what they used to tell the distance (and age) of stars.

"also, the theory is the big bang came from a singularity, not from nothing.
The singularity is everything in an infinitely small area.
physics as we understand it did not apply."

Brad,
still rise the question who/what puts that everything in this small area?? and then have it exploded into a fantastically running universe, with planets and moons not crashing, exactly running in orbit etc. quite a lot of faith you have to muster up to belief that it just come and out from nowhere, nothing and nobody.

why must someone/something have "put" everything in that area????

Its possible that there was no beginning or end.
That its a never ending loop with no creator.

just because we cant comprehend that concept,
doesnt mean that it has to be discounted.

This is the main flaw in the theory of "GOD".

and i will say ONE MORE TIME hoping that someone gets it this time....

JUST BECAUSE WE DONT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING
DOESNT MEAN IT CANT BE.
