The Known Universe ( Pondering Creation )

   Sun, January 27, 2013 - 7:10 PM
The Hubble Telescope has been nothing short of spectacular in the images it has delivered to us revealing images from our past going back to 90% of the known universe. After twenty years of delivering the goods it is inevitable that older technology will give way to new. Originally slated for the year 2014 NASA's " James Webb Telescope " has been pushed back to 2018. To get a sense of where Hubble took us we might characterize that experience as the difference between viewing the universe from the bottom of the ocean with ground based telescopes as opposed to viewing them from Hubble at the surface of the Earth............... The James Webb Telescope will take us that final 10 % to the very edge of the known universe giving us views of Progenitor Stars and the earliest galaxies in their inception and perhaps to the ultimate expression of creation...........The Big Bang itself. It is thought it would appear as a sheet of white light. It has also been said that our generation for better........... or for worse has been privileged to thread the needle and bare witness to many events, be they mass extinction, climate change, or any other cataclismic event, I can only sit and ponder in the wonder of what is unfolding all around me. - Manifest All

I honestly don't think it was an explosion that created the Universe, but instead... a slow and ever-expanding environment. With each new space from its expansion, creates new chemicals and bacteria which conversed into more new and expandable forms. ^_^

I think its just with Humans obsessed nature with violence and explosions that we think it was a violent begining. It might not have been.
That's what I love about science.. you can always have a theory hehehehe
