Hi Dave! I'm more apt to believe in multiple bangs. I believe that the universe goes on forever. that There are parts that are so far out that we will never be able to perceive them. I believe that the universe is like a gigantic pin wheel like the atom the solar system the galaxies. Seems to run a ...

To me; the inner parts of the nebula look like explosions. The outer concentric rings remind me of shock waves. much like the ripples when you drop a stone into water.

Jupiter's clouds from Cassini
Somewhere I read that Jupiter was a Brown Dwarf. Does this mean that it is a failed star?
It is also larger than the other eight planets put together

M1 The Crab Nebula form NOT
Given the fact that such an explosion is so vast; that nearby stars and their systems must be greatly affected. What kind of an affect would this have on life forms on nearby systems?

I hope this doesn't stray from the subject too much. This may not be as profound or as deep; but if we can see 13 billion light years in front of us and 13 billion years in back of us; doesn't that put the visible universe as 26 billion years? Also we probably aren't in the center; so maybe we can o...
