I thought I was the only one who has these thoughts. I give myself a headache sometimes trying to make sense of it all. I try to discuss it with my wife and she's no help. A friend of mine, Atac Imamoglu, is a well known physicist who is currently working on quantum optics and quantum computation. I tell him that I'm a closet physicist without the math skills. Sometimes I only understand half of what he tells me, and the other half, I pretend to understand.
I'm of the belief that there was something that had to exist when the Big Bang occurred. The space to which everything expanded outward had to be present for the energy to exist within. I believe that if you went in one direction far enough, you would end up back where you started. I believe in the multiverse theory. Dark matter and dark energy have me a little concerned. I believe things can exist within a black hole and can possibly escape.
I want to know, if all suns are stars, are all stars suns?
We are always shown space in a direct line going away from us. What happens if we should go straight up? Or straight down?
If a space ship could go ultra fast, like in Star Trek, what would keep it from crashing into any number of items in space?
If a ship were to go fast enough to get across the galaxy/universe within that beings lifetime, how could the body of the being keep from being crushed by gravity, especially when it is maneuvering. Quick turns, start and stops, etc?
Lastly, if an alien craft were to enter our atmosphere and land here, how would they possible know the correct angle of entry and speed at which to enter so as to not burn up?
Just a few things I wonder about.
. In the end, I think it takes as much faith to believe in this stuff, as it does a religious person who believes that God created everything out of the ether.
