gravitational lensing

[scottyd]

Lol this isnt really directly about trees... ever herd of grav. lensing , where ie a black hole can fold and bend space( and time ) ,, its been proven to exsit ,, but ultimatley doesnt this mean every thing we see could actually be a reflection of ourselfs ...... Also remember " Beer is proof that god loves us " Benjamin franklin.

Lets you see things very far away but you gotta have a really big gravity field in the right place on your line of sight. I think the sciency types are using it as a tool to look right out to the edges of everything.

I dont hink its the size of the gravitaional feild but its intesity ... also how would u know it was the without any other indicators ie .. stuff falling into it ( it also in my mind mean the univers could be alot smaller thatn thought but still infinite.

[scottyd]

ps also as a result of it .. you also get residual imagery so lol what am a looking at agian.

For really big read intense lol When you look really far away your essentially looking back in time, so they're looking for the 'blast front' (for want of a better phrase) from the big bang. But all that light from far far (and a long long time ago) away needs focused to be able to see. I think?

[Jdtrees]

Also is the universe infinite?

[Jdtrees]

And i think theres a theory somewhere that says what we experience as 'reality' is a hologram projected out the backside of a blackhole. Physicists. Theyre the ones who shouldnt toke at work.

only as infinite as time allows.... but thats all relative:001_rolleyes:

My brain has melted.
