Hi there!
Is the Big Bang theory mysticism? I'm not an astronomer since these questions...is there anything else in astronomy that could be considered mystic -from a scientist's point of view? Which are the theories which can be calculated -and still look like mysticism?
Hey, and what do you think of the theory that the Big Bang was only a transitional state and that there were many Big Bangs and time somehow can be eternal as well?
Greetings from Eternity

Since its theory, why not.
What about TIME?
All at the same time, or just in their own time.

I was walking through the Café one day when I metaphysician.
Has somebody been reading the
Rigveda?

The five fundamental circles, the Celestial Equator ( Vishuvat Vritta) , the Celestial Meridien ( Khagoleeya Dhruva Rekha ), the Ecliptic ( Kranti Vritta ), the Nodal Circle ( Vikshepa Vritta ) and the Celestial Horizon ( Kshithija ) were called by the Seers as Shahasra Seersha, Sahasra Purusha, Sahasra Kha, Sahasra Path & Sahasra Bhoomi. This is given in the Hymn, the Purusha Sooktha, that the Zodiacal Man or Time Eternal lies coiled as the mighty Zodiac !
Doesn't sound like BBT to me, but then again I can't even grasp a falling stone.

Hello apodman,
That's okay, no one else can grasp a falling stone either.

Mysticism,
metaphysics, and
spirituality have no place in a scientific forum.
Astronomy,
astrophysics, and
physical cosmology are scientific endeavors and the primary focus of this forum. While early
cosmology and
cosmonogy may be indistinguishable from religion, superstition, and metaphysics, they are not the focus of this forum. Please try to limit your discussions to
science and the
scientific method, particularly as they apply to astronomy, astrophysics, and physical cosmology, and please try to stay on topic.
