So i have been thinking there is so much energy in the known and unknown universe. Like all those projectiles flying through space at incredible speeds, where and how did they gain all that energy?
As far as physics goes you need energy to turn potential energy to kinetic energy? I know you can argue that it came from the big bang, but where did the big bang come from? And even if we ignored big bang theory, the amount of energy in the universe continues to increase how come?
Thought experiment. I figured that the big bang produced energy and spread it over the expance of the nothingness of space. This energy should have dissipated by now, but they have discovered that space is not slowing down but expanding ever faster, even faster than the speed of light. This exponential expansion is using energy yes?
Scientists believe that the universe is in constant expansion. However, this cannot be proven because the universe is so so big, that our own galaxy is just a dot. There are trillions and trillions and trillions of stars and other planets out there. Mankind ability has not been able to decipher exactly how big the universe is.
We know very little about our own planet, what’s below us, what’s under the sea etc.
It will therefore be very long before we begin understanding the universe.
Ooh yes in the late nineties two different independent groups conducted a study and they proved and concluded that the universe is expanding…it has been researched bro
Good question…but here is a spanner, if energy cannot be created but it continues occupying an ever increasing space shouldnt this mean that the energy reduces as it covers more space? For example, if you take the air compressed in a football and put in into an air balloon, the energy should dissipate because the space it occupies has increased?
