  • Except the big bang is the start of both space and time, so nothing in the universe could be older than the universe because there’s no time to speak of (not to mention the space for it to exist).

    The moment after the big bang is called the Planck epoch. I just learned this from Wikipedia “In this stage, the characteristic scale length of the universe was the Planck length, 1.6×10−35 m, and consequently had a temperature of approximately 1032 degrees Celsius. Even the very concept of a particle breaks down in these conditions. A proper understanding of this period awaits the development of a theory of quantum gravity.”. I don’t really understand this, but it seems the early universe wasn’t conducive to particles. Even if it was, they wouldn’t be atoms. They’d just be quarks.

    All of our physics breaks down at the singularity before the big bang, so assuming quarks that are around today existed then is just that, an assumption.








  • I’ve seen some antisemitism stuff on here and I can’t help wondering, why jews?

    What’s special about Isreal that makes you so invested? I could understand reasons to dislike Mexicans or blacks (at least, for americans), but jews? There’s so few of them and they don’t have a large impact here of any kind.

    Is it entirely those theories about jews controlling the world behind the scene? If it is, do you have an elevator pitch for why you believe those theories?

    To be clear, I’m not interested in joining and I suspect I’ll strongly disagree with a lot of what you say, but I want to know where you’re coming from and why you think/do what you do.


  • Not everyone in capitalism is a winner, and that’s ok. The big advantage is that the losers are usually offered the opportunity to work and make a living.

    The alternative is crossing your fingers and hoping the government (or whatever body is responsible for distributing pay) gives you what you need. If they don’t, tough luck, there’s nothing you can do about it.
