Someone mentioned subjective logic.
If we use a bit of objective logic, and common sense, we could look at the observational
evidence by Hubble that put distance of the furthest galaxy seen at 13 billion light years
using the CMB and correlation function.
Why would it not be logical to infer from the above observation that the age of the Universe,
as far as we can see today, is about 26 billion years??
If we take the Hubble and turn it 180 degrees, and see other distance galaxies at 13 billion
light years. Then, we must deduce the Universe has to be, at the least, 26 billion years old.
Unless, of course, we insist on “us” being the center of the Universe !

I have had a similar thought, if we are recieving the light from an object 13 billion light years after it was emited then wouldnt that guarantee the universe will be around for at least 13 billion light years more? being that we are now sending our light back to that same source which will take 13 billion light years?even if what was there the time the source sent the light was gone now the space it occupied would still exist waiting 13 billion light years to recieve this post?am i making any sense or should i just hide and watch?

Hey RickyTv,
Don’t get intimidated by the company you are in. Unlike myself, most may be highly educated
(in physics), and some may snap, ignore or insult anybody without a PHD or of the same
opinion. But, a lot of the same educated individuals are chasing wild geese, in wasting their
knowledge on garbage like the String Theory, and apparently (I have just deduced) the similarly
irrational BB.
Feel free to put your 2-cents in. I do. (And, mine is not worth much more than 2 cents).
Incidentally, no, I couldn’t make out what you were trying to say. If something takes 13 B years
to reach us, then it is 13 B years old, no more. Then again !!
4Dguy,
If what you say is the accepted theory (to suit the BB’s purpose)(to make BB work, postulation
after postulation is employed to make up for the paradoxes BB presents) being that “we are in
the middle,” then shouldn’t we see, at the least, 2 image of each celestial body. That being, since
the light curves around the outer edge(absurd), then there is “the other side(s)” to consider. If
you can picture an Oval Universe.
Furthermore, the “curved light” and the BB both present this paradox, among many more, that if
there IS an outer edge, then the Universe is not infinite. If the Universe is expanding, then it
can’t be infinite. The BB theory kills the idea of infinite space. Well, thanx a lot for that.
As for the BB supposing that the Universe “banged” all over at the same time, then “where” is
the Universe expanding into ? I mean wouldn’t that suggest that not only the Universe is
expanding into something “outwards,” but also, “into” itself !? Therefore, if the BB is using the
RS as its proof, then, shouldn’t the “bang all over at the same time” create BS ( ^_^) at the same
time. And, we should see Galaxies approaching us as well !?

Mediocre-Minded,
I do not believe in the big bang theory. I find it to be illogical.

We do see galaxies approaching us.
A good portion of the Virgo cluster is highly blueshifted.
M87 is a good example.
Age of the Universe = pi * 4 * Infinity
Get it? Pie for Infinity.

How old is the Universe?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3732157.stmEven the BB-ers may have their own sums wrong.
Calculating the size depends on a standard candle, type 1A supernovae. Yet one was found to be twice as massive as was believed possible because the dwarf star was "rotating fast" so could support more material before exploding.

I admit I may be out of my league here. But, why is the Redshift or the Blueshift generally
attributed to the Big Bang ? What about the Gravity pull of super clusters?
I thought it was accepted that we (the Local Group) are being pulled towards the “Great
Attractor”. Or, has that gone out of fashion.

thanx Mediocre-Minded, i was feeling a bit small in the brain. dropped out of school after the ninth grade. took some test to try to get into tech college and scores put me in the 90th percentile.meanig i was in the top ten percent of the people tested.this being after 25 years of drug and alchohol abuse.(clean and sober now thank the almighty)not bad for a drop out huh!anyway what i meant was people wonder how long the universe will continue to go on and i think if its 15 billion years old or whatever then it will exist for at least another 15 billion.(we got the light from distant source 15 billion yrs ago and it will take 15 billion yrs for our light to get to distant source)something like that.again thanx Mediocre-Minded i'll continue to add my two cents(worth about one and a half cents maybe the full two on a good day)Peace brothers and sisters(i'm also an ordained minister but who gives a sh*t)
Sincerely,
Ricky Ty:D

Mediocre-Minded,
The thought is that no matter where you are in the universe, you are in the middle. Apparently everything is on the edge and light curves around the outer edge until you can see yourself. But you would not recognize the milky way because its features have changed or might not even been in existence. That was the theory quite a while back its changed since then. Objective reasoning and scientific method have been replaced by the big bang no objections tolerated scientific faith full steam (roll anybody in its way) ahead.
