Is this proof of Multiverse or simply that the Universe is older than we thought or..... Both.... Or is it younger somehow?

[The~Kid]

Ive always figured there was Multiverse and this would point to that being a thing but it could also point to the Universe being older than initially believed.....


It was always believed though if there was Multiverse the distance of one universe to the next would be so far light from one would neber reach another but probability/likelihood I figure would allow for the chance Even though it's infinitely small in chance.... The chance is there.....



I wonder....


Or both

How 'bout adding an option for "younger"?

I'm all about limiting factors before one gets carried away building a house of cards, and boy, do they abound.

I ain't sayin' nothin'.

Hmmm time is relative so that could be possible too

It's just that the options are indicative of the closed-loop that science operates in.

As I alluded to in other threads, there's simply no place for those who question foundational assumptions and the 14.5 (or whatever it is now - it inflates as the years go by) billion-year estimation.

If nothing else it might help some peeps keep an open mind.

Crazy stuff that i just cant understand.
Even how they know its nitrogen or whatever gas.
I have my star gazer app.
Point it and see something 50 LYs away and think oh wow. I was 12 when the light left there

Then realized thats just a stone throw away

Then stumble in something 600 LY away.
Look at it and say shit the new world wasn't even discovered yet

Ya cant tell me theres no other form of life out there someplace

May not be in human form. there has to be something even more intelligent and advanced or maybe even large reptiles

You sheeple still believe space exists? Pfft

You sheeple still believe the heavens exist?

Yes.

I wonder where all the heavy elements came from.

IIRC you can't fuse past iron so the claim that they were all "made by stars" kinda doesn't jive wit' me.

Plus, the heavier you go, generally the more-unstable elements are, so how could they even still be around after billions of years.

Obviously, they were made by this guy...

Heavier elements come from rapid neutron capture process (r-process) which takes place in either neutron star explosions or neutron star mergers. Current data indicates it happens more often in the latter.

When you say unstable element I assume you are talking about half-life and radioactive decay. Your use of the term element is inaccurate, isotope would be the term to use. Most elements have several natural isotopes with half-lives ranging from minutes to billions of years.
For example:
Uranium-238 has a half life of 4.5 billion years.
Francium-223's half life is about 20 minutes.
Francium is formed in nature by the decay of Uranium-235 which has a half life of about 700 million years. So as long as there is Uranium-235 there will be Francium; at least in trace amounts, as Uranium decays.

That's the simplest form of the explanation.

Awesome, thanks brother!
