the world

does anyone here agree with the Steady State Theory?

what about black holes? and if the unviverse is ever expanding, how ca it be infinate? it needs to somewhere to expand into

the universe does not need something to expand into. it is the coordinate axes that are themselves expaning.

What about black holes?

I have a problem with infinity too, and am very interested in research into a finite universe.
But, there isn't really a problem with saying the universe is infinite and expanding, if we take infinite to mean as big as anything can possibly be, rather than uncountable. Current cosmology says there is nothing outside our universe, so it is infinite. But we know that the universe is expanding. As it expands more space is created, the universe gets bigger, but there is still nothing outside it, and it does not need "outside" to expand into.

so it expands into nothin. but when the universe stops, and beyond it is nothin, nothing as got to be something. and therefore the is something beyond the universe

That doesn't make any sense.

its like asking "what was before the big bang?" - there was no time, so the concept of "before" and "after" dis not exist. what is outside the universe? there is no space, so the concept of "inside" and "outside" does not exist.

so if there was nothin before the big bang, what made the big bang happen?

ps what is the state theory? or d i no it by a different name...

its the theory that the universe is considered to have always remained essentially the same as we view it today. In otherwords there was no beginning and will be no end

have you heard of hubble? or are you just going to ignore his findings?

I didn't say I agreed with the theory...however the Hubble equation doesn not take into account the history of the expansion, it only considers the observed velocity of the expansion today and the measured distances to distant glaxaies

but it still disproves the steady state theory; how can there be a steady state if the universe is (even currently) expanding?

Well it is based on the cosmological principle which states that the universe appears the same at al points at all the time. It attempts to explain the expansion of the universe by stating that as the universe expands matter is created to fill the saces created by the expansion. Just where the matter comes from is not fully understood...

I personally think that the universe will keep on expanding. I think its too coincidental for the mass of the universe to balance out the gravitational force of the attraction, nor do I believe in that the mass of the universe is greater and we will all die from the 'Big Crunch'

oh god. big crunch? what is that?
