Just think, if that dumbass had gotten that ass kicking in his formative years then he might have lived a life much less burdened by delusion

Yes, we do. That's why the theory of the big bang has continued to gain acceptance.

What is that picture actually showing? And how was it obtained? I'm not questioning you. I'm generally curious.

In the 60s Bell set up a microwave antenna. They were trying to figure out why no matter what direction they pointed they were getting were getting exactly the same reading (other than known sources). The reading they were getting was a constant 3 degrees above absolute zero in every direction. Once physicists learned about this it became evidence for the big bang. It would be very improbable for the temperature in every direction separated by billions of light years to be exactly the same. What they were measuring was the edge of the observable universe. The further away you're looking at, the further back in time you're looking at. In this case this is from 13.8 billion years ago.

The universe is expanding, so the high frequency radiation in the early universe, which was probably gamma or x-ray light was red-shifted as it travelled through the the universe to here to the point it was picked up as microwaves.

There were additional satellites including the latest one that took the image called WMAP.

Right after the big bang the universe was so hot and dense you couldn't see through it. After about 380,000 years it cooled enough that you could see through it. That's what this image is from. The different color blobs eventually expanded to become galaxies. They could also use this image to figure out the percentage of ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy.

People need to stop overreacting about Kamala's plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.

I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here's a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:

1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren't allowed to raise prices.

2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can't survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren't allowed to raise prices.

3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods ("center of the store") instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat ("perimeter of the store"). Because stores in lower-income areas aren't able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren't fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.

4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren't fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity.

5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn't have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled itemseverything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to appareland less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.

6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can't compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren't allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms.

7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms.

8. Smaller food producerswhich typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chainsstart to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren't able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.

9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks.

10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities.

11. The government announces that prices for all key food costscorn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.are also now fixed, to stop "profiteers" from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.

12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding.

13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.

Hey wait a second

It never pans out all the way like that. After a few years of corporate takeovers of the small chains, the large chains bribe whoever needs to be bribed in DC to create some kind of legal loophole for them.

That's the key difference between communism and our crony capitalism. Power is spread out among hundreds of three letter agencies and everyone can be bought. Over in China if Xi decides he wants price controls no amount of bribing lower officials will ever work

The "big bang" wasn't a "bang" at all, at least not in the common definition. It didn't explode in a scene of shrapnel and fire, and there was definitely no mushroom cloud. The big-bang theory of the universe is derived from Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and the idea that the universe expanded from a miniscule dense collection of energy called a singularity. There was no bang, just a vast expansion of extremely condensed material.

This wasn't just an expansion of matter, it was an expansion of spacetime.

Yeah I get it. Snakes and Sparklers don't cut it if you're God

Quick question: how many protons, neutrons and electrons existed in total before that event?

If it was the same number that has existed every day since then, where'd they come from before the event?

If it was zero or some different number, what created them?



I do understand that my belief (another word for theory) sounds like foolishness to the wisdom of man. I just don't really agree that your theory (or any other theory) is any less foolish sounding to the wisdom of man.

Some people get defensive over things like the big bang theory. For all we know it's how God did what he did.

There wasn't anything before the big bang. Not even space or time. It is already known and demonstrated that energy can be converted into matter and visa versa according to E=mc^2. I can go into a lot of detail on this and answer your questions, but it's obviously not relevant in this thread. We can take it somewhere else if you want.

Agree on that front. I honestly don't find conflict in Science and my faith in God. I mostly see science as us learning the "how" of exactly how God did things.

I'm old enough to remember this commercial. I graduated high school 1984.

And yes, that's Carlton.

This week in 1984, Michael Jackson's iconic @Pepsi "New Generation" commercial starring Alfonso Ribeiro aired on MTV and changed the game of celebrity endorsement forever.🥤 pic.twitter.com/NiQSugqSgQ

Didn't his hair catch fire filming that commercial? A few years earlier Richard Pryor burned himself freebasing cocaine.

So the running joke in 1984 was "Michael Jackson got burned doing Pepsi and Richard Pryor got burned doing Coke."

No, it wasn't in that commercial. It was one where he's on his stage. This one. Very close in time though.
