Great Walls of the Universe -Do They Undermine the Big Bang Theory?

 

Our known, Hubble length universe, contains hundreds of millions of galaxies that have clumped together, forming super clusters and a series of massive walls of galaxies separated by vast voids of empty space. Some of these elongated super clusters have formed a series of walls, one after another, spaced from 500 million to 800 million light years apart, such that in one direction alone, 13 Great Walls have formed with the inner and outer walls separated by less than seven billion light years. Recently, cosmologists have estimated that some of these galactic walls may have taken from 80 billion to 100 billion, to 150 billion years to form in a direct challenge to current age estimates of the age of the Universe following the Big Bang.

The huge Sloan Great Wall spans over one billion light years. The Coma cluster is one of the largest observed structures in the Universe, containing over 10,000 galaxies and extending more than 1.37 billion light years in length. 

Current theories of "Dark energy" and "great attractors" have been developed to explain why a created universe did not spread out uniformly at the same speed and in the same spoke-like directions as predicted by theory. But as Sean Carroll of the Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics at Cal Tech is fond of saying, "We don't have a clue."

Britain’s Astronomer Royal, Lord Rees, says some of the cosmos’s biggest mysteries, like the Big Bang and even the nature of our own self awareness, might never be resolved. Rees, who is also President of the Royal Society, says that a correct basic theory of the universe might be present, but may be just too tough for human beings’ brains to comprehend.

Rees draws comparison with fish, “Just as a fish may be barely aware of the medium in which it lives and swims, so the microstructure of empty space could be far too complex for unaided human brains”.

There was no need to build the Hubble and one thousand theories to know we are limited, it's time to some science people to stop being so arrogant, but it won't happen, any (only human culture importante) discovery and there is a lot of science man filling head with unjustified pride, we should listen to Isaac Newton carefuly, he said this about 300 years ago : "I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

superclusters too must form even older, more distant, massive and larger hierarchial objects then themselves. Perhaps the dark flow mass at 150 billion light years is one such giant. Time is relativistic, Einstein said it is the distance between two simultaneously occuring events. From earth we observe distant ancient quasars redshifted a good percentage of light speed, and say they are in the early universe. However, their time and motion will slow down to us, like a clock in orbit around the earth. I say shortly after the big-bang the mass of the universe with huge gravity kept very young quasars and galaxies young in slow motion to us. these very early formed galaxies will experience traveling into the future because they are under far greater acceleration from inflation, gravity and mass shortly after the so called big bang occured. THerefore objects do indeed get older with increasing distance, but the age of the universe is not the same as when the big bang occured.

The infinity concept just doesn´t add up with a bIG bANG. Obvious, isn´t it? The human mind just can´t cope, so it ends up inventing the Bang; located and limited to itself, in the center of itself, originating in....

Indeed, this simply means that there are things not observed. The Universe is infinite that we can never ascertain the true age of the universe because the second law of thermodynamics has erased the information necessary to determine it's age.

can we try to describe the universe as timeless and the fourth dimension? Somewhere a location exists where the passage or experience of the length of time is very long or brief. The distance between two seperate simultaneously occuring quantum events is very short and brief for atoms perhaps at the speed of quantum gravity, yet in supermassive galactic black holes I say the same fractal hierarchical gravity operates over vastly greater distances and size scales but self-similar to the atom. Neutron stars, electron stars, quark stars, and proton or hydrogen white dwarf stars obey the same atomic laws for atoms as they do for stars which are fractal hierarchs.

"Rees, who is also President of the Royal Society, says that a correct basic theory of the universe might be present, but may be just too tough for human beings’ brains to comprehend."

Finally an intelligent suggestion. Humans will just have to live with the fact that the logistics of this Universe is way too big to comprehend. There are also things in this Universe that humans will be better off not seeing.

there always seems to be an exception to everything, like anti-matter or dark energy, which would have to be explainable. Spooky quantum entanglement at a distance occurs when observing a particle linked to another. This means if another being knows you are observing something, they can try to deceive you or change things on you. We do have free will to make choices and do things. So the universe itself might be ever changing things from the briefest of time scales, which affects the longest of time scales in the cosmos.

[jimhenson]

even the sloan great wall could be a speck of a far larger distant cosmological structure, in which case the age, masses, sizes of cosmological objects increases with increasing distance away from any and all quantum locations in the entire universe. A singularity has infinite space warp and might parallel align entangled mini-black hole spins to form whole-part relationships as fractal galactic black hole hierarchs in the universe.

Everyone Knows how A black hole works? It sucks everything in and crushes it with over 1Million Tons of pressure, Well, If you were to suck in Everything for millions of years it would become molecule sized as a dark hole continues to do this creating hundreds of small molecule atoms, that of gases and solids, eventually dark holes implode releasing && expanding all that it has consumed, Exploding into a super-nova, (which we all know the the super-nova becomes a sun over time). These molecules expand and fly outward due to the pressure, some of the larger ones begin to take orbit while others continue to fly out becoming meteors etc etc. The larger [molecules which have expanded] take orbit around the supernova and chemical reactions on these surfaces may create eco spheres where many chemical reactions are happening based off the distance, the size, and the other etc molecules that were attached together on the surface of the Rock holding orbit, which may destroy, create inhabitant bacteria, or release these rocks from the orbit. Smaller rocks may even take orbit around the larger ones creating moons. :::: More to this, but basically how i think the universe works, Space is a interesting thing. w/e it is CC Aug 06 2010 David Farkas

Power balance is designed to work with your body's natural energy field. They are come equipped with two visible Power Balance holograms.

I love and am used to keeping a distance with those changed things.Only in this way can I know what will not be abandoned by time. Forexample, when you love someone, changes are all around. Then I stepbackward and watching it silently, then I see the true feelings.
