Size of the Universe and Speed of Light
A classic post from Lockjaw’s Xanga Page
I’m a science heretic. I have two basic beliefs that are contrary to those of most “serious scientists.” The first is this. I believe that God created the heavens and the Earth. The second heretical basic belief is that the speed of light is no limitation to travel.
I know I’m not alone in believing that God created our universe. There is so much wrong with the Big Bang Theory, it’s hard to believe it still holds up. Apparently, everything was supposed to have started with a singularity. Another word for singularity is black hole, although I’m sure there’s some complex explanation for why that particular singularity is different from the singularities they call black holes. Recent research, though, has explained the problems with the singularity theory of black holes. It seems they aren’t singularities at all, but merely superdense objects. As superdense objects, all those black hole theory problems seem to dissapear. If the start of the universe was a superdense object, then the Big Bang wasn’t creation.
This article explains that our universe is 156 billion light years across. The age of the universe is 13.7 billion years. A light year is defined as the distance light travels in one year. If the age is true, and the measurement of the speed of light is true, shouldn’t the distance across the universe be 27.4 billion light years?
So, either the whole Big Bang theory is wrong, or the speed of light limitation of speed of travel is wrong. One of them must be crap.
As an addendum, I’d recommend reading a little about how the speed of light may be slowing down.
