Is the Big Bang a correct theory?

Gabriel Kazakias 10/14/11

Some find difficult to imagine that the fine-tuning of all these beautiful things around us just happened by accident without a divine direction behind them. Some others believe that the world came into existence from a point of infinite density and temperature known as the “Initial Singularity” which then exploded through the Bing Bang.

I will briefly discuss what “they” believe is the science behind the creation of the universe and I would let you decide its validity.

The universe is the entire space-time continuum in which we exist, together, with all the energy and matter within it. It is important to understand the fact that the term universe is defined specifically as all existence in one space-time continuum.

There is an orderly harmonious pattern and rhythm to the whole cosmos and the evidence for this orderliness is everywhere on earth and in the heavens, and also in the functioning of the human organism. In other words life, the human organism and the heavens reveal a remarkable order and pattern which is harmonious in every detail resembling a magnificent work of art and science.

Proponents of the Big Bang measure an age of 14.7 Billion years by tracing back the expansion of the universe to an initial point, the “Initial Singularity”. Within a matter of seconds the explosion by the Big Bang released all the energy that we would ever consume. Gravity continued to squeeze together clouds of gas and dust causing the pressure and heat to violently rise.

Hydrogen, gravity, heat and pressure are the pre-builders of atoms and consequently of the galaxies. 13.7 Billion years ago the first galaxies were formed. Gravity continued to rise, when the temperature reached 18 million degrees F, combined hydrogen atoms created a new element, Helium, and radiated a lot of energy. Hence, the first stars were born pouring energy into the universe.

With the right heat, pressure and time hydrogen was fused into helium, helium into lithium and the universe continue to forge most of the 25 elements we need to live including carbon, oxygen and iron. The remaining of the elements would be provided by the energy from the blown out stars, known as Super-Novas. So, super-novas created the heavier elements such as uranium, gold, copper, bronze and others.

Stars were born then exploded the re-born until 4.6 Billion years ago when finally enough material were gathered for our sun and the planets around it. The earth was one of the planets around the sun. To become the place that we now enjoy earth needed an oxygen rich atmosphere. 3.8 Billion years ago, beneath the oceans a revolution was taking place. Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen combined to the key substances for life. 700,000 years after the planet was formed, life begins in some tiny organisms known as bacteria.

After the oxygen from the bacteria filled the oceans the oxygen escaped to atmosphere producing the rich oxygen atmosphere that we need and also create the ozone layer that protect us from the dangerous solar radiation.

Having oxygen and carbon we had the necessary elements for fire, which is essential for our civilization.

250 Million years ago was the first extinction due to volcanic activities.

65 Million years ago an asteroid collision caused the end of the dinosaurs.

2.6 Million years ago proto-humans were evolved.

4,000 B.C. humans learned to tame horses. No other animal had such a big influence in the human history.

500 B.C. Persian Empire

323 B.C. Alexander’s Empire

50 B.C. Han Chinese Empire

117 A.D. Roman Empire

800 A.D. Carbon and Sulfur, Gun Powder in China

1800 A.D. Coal and Steam Engine

It is crucial to note here that there are certain phenomena that don’t quite agree with the Big Bang and the theory of evolution. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, even though is rotating very fast it doesn’t fly apart which means that it contains a lot of mass generating enough gravity to hold the galaxy together – but this extra matter could be found anywhere.

The scientific community, in general, believed that the universe is expanding. Dr. Halton Arp and other astronomers have discovered evidence that the universe isn't expanding at all. Their observations indicate that the red-shifts that were contributed to expansion and to the universe’s age calculation are more likely due to the distinction of atoms having variable mass. This disproves the computed age of the universe as well as the radiometric dating since decay rates would change as the mass of protons and electrons changed.

So either our fundamental theories of gravity are wrong, and they generally seem to work OK, or there is matter in the galaxy that we cannot see. So this matter - if it exists - is "dark", and not easily detectable. Perhaps the super-massive black hole at the center of the galaxy is WAY bigger than we think. Or perhaps there s some sort of super-gravity that we don't know of yet, some sort of "dark energy". 

Recently, the data which were collected by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe satellite (WMAP), supports the currently popular model of the universe. This model predicts that the universe is made up of 5% ordinary matter, 25% undetectable "dark matter", and 70% dark energy. Although the nature of dark energy is not yet known, galaxies in a universe should have stopped growing early in the history of the universe.

Every second that passes, the sun compresses 564 million tons of hydrogen into 560 million tons of helium with 4 million tons of matter released as energy.  In spite of that tremendous consumption of fuel, the sun has only used up 2% of the hydrogen it had the day it came into existence.  Every star in the sky generates its energy in the same way.  Throughout the universe there are 25 quintillion stars, each of the stars converting hydrogen into helium, thereby reducing the total amount of hydrogen in the universe.  If hydrogen is being consumed that much and if the process has been going on for such a long time, how much hydrogen is left? If the universe has been here for so long, we would have run out of hydrogen long ago!  The fact is, however, that the sun still has 98% of its original hydrogen.  Everywhere we look in space we can see hydrogen in the spectrum.  This could not be unless the universe had a beginning and a young age!

They tell us that "matter is self-existing and not created." In order for matter to come out of nothing, all of our scientific laws dealing with the conservation of matter/energy would have to be wrong.  All of our laws of conservation of angular momentum would have to be wrong. All of our laws of conservation of electric charge would have to be wrong!  The assertion that matter is eternal is wrong.  The assertion that the universe has no beginning and self-existing is also incorrect.

There are several problems with the Big Bang theory:

• The big Bang explosion should have propelled all the matter and energy radially from its center per the principle of conservation of angular momentum. Yet there are all kinds of curving and orbiting of the stars and galaxies.
• In the context of the primeval fireball it is hard to justify the accumulation of any amount of matter in any one location such as a star.
• The universe is a closed system because there is nothing outside of it to exchange heat with. The Second Law of thermodynamics says that entropy always increases in a closed system which is an indication of chaos and the most utter disorder. So how can this primeval chaotic disorder produce have possibly generated the beautifully organized and ordered universe that we have now?
• The computed age of the universe and the radiometric dating is not validated.
• Hydrogen should have been consumed instead of being the most abundant material in the universe.

Greek biologist discovered the gene that causes childhood leukemia

http://www.otyposnews.gr/archives/24423

The relationship of the gene with blood cancer was discovered and presented at pan-European Conference in Stockholm, a forum for collaborations among leading cancer and in gene research. Behind the important lies a Greek biologist, Dr. Elli Papaemmanouil, who as head of the research group discovered the gene that causes childhood leukemia. The conclusion of the investigation for myelodysplasia is that new, introspective jottings would facilitate the genetic screening mutation.

Greeks send NASA in Super travel http://www.otyposnews.gr/archives/21772

Approximately 38 years after the Project Daedalus, which demonstrated that travel from one star of our Galaxy to the other is realisable, Project Icarus has started as a volunteer effort to build the spaceship that will make the journey to other stars of the milky way. 

At the wheel is a Greek, Dr Andreas Tziolas, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Alaska. The Icarus Project began in September 2009. "The challenge we have to deal with all those who are the team of Icarus has nothing to do with the proof that all trips are possible. This has been proven already. We try to design the same spaceship to travel to another star, "says Professor.  In this program are involved two more Greeks, Dr Chwmatas and Dr. Konstandinidis.

Neutrinos are faster than photons http://greece.greekreporter.com/2011/09/24/cypriot-among-cern-scientists-who-discover-neutrinos-speed/

Markos Drakos a Cyprian scientist overthrew the early foundations of modern physical science, since virtually his research team suggests that the famous ... Law of Relativity of Einstein, may not be fully true.

Measurements in the experiment conducted at CERN revealed neutrinos to be faster than photons.
 
This discovery threatenes not only the theory of Albert Einstein but the entire edifice of modern physics, perhaps even the way we see the world.

Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan – Economic Drivers

Researched by Gabriel Kazakias

Syria, Iran and Iran are oil producers and exporters. Oil represents 80% or more of the exports of Iran and Iraq, and about 40% of Syria’s exports. Syria is diversifying its economy towards a social market economy with the World Bank offering an array of technical assistance programs to support the efforts. Lebanon and Jordan, unlike the other three countries, do not have energy resources. These countries share the characteristics of high unemployment. Declining oil export values are the main drivers behind economic slowdown in Iraq, Iran and to a certain extent Syria.

Iran

The Iranian government has made debt reduction one of its top priorities. As a result, Iranian letters of credit are much better received now than they were two years ago. Iran holds almost 10 per cent of world oil reserves; it is OPEC's second largest producer. It has the second largest oil and gas reserves in the world. The Iranian economy’s most significant challenge is the fall in oil export revenues due to the reduction in global demand and the anticipated fall in global oil prices.

Iraq

According to IMF projections, Iraq’s fiscal position is projected to worsen with oil revenues expected to decrease by 26 percent corresponding to a deficit of about 17 percent of GDP for the year. Iraq’s oil sector contributes around 65% of Iraq’s GDP and over 90% of public revenues, and is therefore central to Iraq’s fiscal position and critical to the health of the Iraqi economy.

Labanon

Lebanon's economy and markets are best portrayed by a private economic activity and openness to abroad with capital and labor mobility. The country that has reconstructed its infrastructure using the best technologies, has revised basically most of its business laws and regulations and has a reputable banking sector with high financial standing, strictly regulated by the Central Bank. Lebanon today has the unique opportunity to move forward with one of the most important social reforms in decades.

Syria

The Syrian government, stuck in a stalemate with protesters, also is facing the longer-term challenge of keeping the country's already creaky economy from collapsing. Years of mismanagement, corruption and a recent drought have brought hardship to its growing population. Reforms aimed at opening the state-controlled economy have opened opportunities more for the well-connected than for average Syrians.

Jordan

The Kingdom of Jordan provides all people with learning experiences relevant to stimulating and sustaining economic development through an educated population and a skilled workforce.  King Abdullah’s commitment to economic reforms, the country’s geo-strategic location and positive relationships make Jordan a logical hub for regional and global trade that businesses can look to with confidence.

Instead of abandon Medicare work with it

Reporting by Gabriel Kazakias 04/26/2011

The analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) shows that Ryan's plan would increase the cost of healthcare to seniors. It would exceed the income of most retirees, as healthcare costs outpace income growth.

However this is not the result of cost-shifting from the government. It comes from the higher cost of private insurance compared with the government-run Medicare system.

Is United States Declining?

Gabriel Kazakias

If you search the internet about US economic as well as military power, you end up with a rather gloomy picture. In 2008, the US National Intelligence Council admitted for the first time that America's global power was indeed on a downward path. Current projections claim that the US will find itself in second place behind China in economic output around 2026 and behind India by 2050.

American leadership in technological innovation is on the wane. In 2008, the US was still number two behind Japan in worldwide patent applications but China was closing fast.

Add to this the US education system that brings our future scientists and innovators behind our competitors and you will understand why some claim of our shortage of talented scientists by 2025.

Such negative trends are increasingly sharp criticism of the dollar's role as the world’s reserve currency. Faced with a country that is incapable of paying its bills, China, India, Iran, Russia, and other powers challenge our authority.

By 2025, Iran and Russia will control almost half of the world's natural gas supply, which will potentially give them enormous leverage over Europe. China pours billions into building a massive trans-Asia pipeline and funding Iran's exploitation of the gas field at South Pars in the Persian Gulf. Meantime here in the United States we are so dependent upon foreign oil that any adverse developments could spark an oil shock.

On the other hand we also need to recognize our potential. China has a long way to go to equal the power of the United States. Even if overall Chinese GDP passed that of the United States around 2030, the two economies would not be equivalent in composition. China would still have a vast underdeveloped countryside. Per capita income provides a measure of the sophistication of an economy. Assuming a 6% Chinese GDP growth rate and only 2% American GDP growth rate after 2030, China would probably not equal the United States in per capita income until sometime around the middle of the century.

American education used to set the global standard. But American education our primary and secondary schools, especially in less affluent districts, lags badly behind. This means that the quality of the labor force will not keep up with the rising standards needed in an information-driven economy. Improvement in the country’s K-12 education system will be necessary if the country is to meet the standards needed in an information-based economy.

It is time re-analyze the future of U.S. power. It is my belief that the United States is not in absolute decline and there is a reasonable probability that it will remain more powerful than any single country in the coming decades.
