I haven’t had time to watch this video that a Twitter associate recently kicked my way. I’m incredibly busy right now getting ready for a quickie vacation (driving down to Asheville, NC and Atlanta this Wednesday).

Anyway, this series, called “The Big Bang Never Happened” looks fascinating. I’m currently knee-deep in atomic theory, what with my dual reading of The Quantum and the Lotus: A Journey to the Frontiers Where Science and Buddhism Meet and Deciphering the Cosmic Number: The Strange Friendship of Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung. So I really want to watch these videos as a “macro” accompaniment to my quantum investigations.

Maybe you can tell me if it’s cool?

I’m pretty sure Quasar intrinsic redshifts have been debunked. See this wikipedia snip for info on accretion disk energy…

I thought this was really interesting…
I can’t claim to have enough information to warrant a strong opinion on these questions. I will say that science’s ability predict nature is it’s fundamental selling point, so it’s always relevant to ask what can you predict with a theory. There’s something very annoying about so much resting on particles that barley interact with our universe, there maybe a real bottle neck of information because of the real world cost of the apparatus of observation.
