Quotes About Expansion

The present evidence therefore suggests that the universe will probably expand forever, but all we can really be sure of is that even if the universe is going to recollapse, it won't do so for at least another ten thousand million years, since it has already been expanding for at least that long. This should not unduly worry us: by that time, unless we have colonized beyond the solar system, mankind will long since have died out, extinguished along with our sun!

Se chegássemos ao fim da linha, o espírito humano definharia e morreria. Mas não creio que um dia sossegaremos: aumentaremos em complexidade, se não em profundidade, e seremos sempre o centro de um horizonte de possibilidades em expansão.

The present evidence therefore suggests that the universe will probably expand forever, but all we can really be sure of is that even if the universe is going to recollapse, it won't do so for at least another ten thousand million years, since it has already been expanding for at least that long. This should not unduly worry us:

the universe expanded by a factor of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in .00000000000000000000000000000000001 second. It was as if a coin 1 centimeter in diameter suddenly blew up to ten million times the width of the Milky Way.

Our modern picture of the universe dates back to only 1924, when the American astronomer Edwin Hubble demonstrated that ours was not the only galaxy. There were in fact many others, with vast tracts of empty space between them.

to explain how the early universe

why we should be in the expanding phase rather than the contracting phase? One can answer this on the basis of the weak anthropic principle. Conditions in the contracting phase would not be suitable for the existence of intelligent beings who could ask the question: why is disorder increasing in the same direction of time as that in which the universe is expanding?

we already knew that nothing could prevent a massive cold star from collapsing under its own gravity until it reached a singularity of infinite density. I realised that similar arguments could be applied to the expansion of the universe.

Alam semesta mengembang tidak melenyapkan pencipta, tapi jelas membatasi kapan pencipta bisa melakukan penciptaan!

On the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. One could still imagine that God created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. An expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!

En el instante del Big Bang, algo maravilloso sucedió con el tiempo. El tiempo mismo comenzó.

Hamlet said, "I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space." I think what he meant was that although we humans are very limited physically, particularly in my own case, our minds are free to explore the whole universe, and to boldly go where even Star Trek fears to tread.

Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward-looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.

we can really be sure of is that even if the universe is going to recollapse, it won't do so for at least another ten thousand million years, since it has already been expanding for at least that long. This should not unduly worry us: by that time, unless we have colonized beyond the Solar System, mankind will long since have died out, extinguished along with our sun!

the universe is not infinite in space, but neither does space have any boundary.

This means that at earlier times objects would have been closer together. In fact, it seemed that there was a time, about ten or twenty thousand million years ago, when they were all at exactly the same place and when, therefore, the density of the universe was infinite.

Sains tampaknya telah mengungkap satu set hukum yang memberi tahu kita bagaimana alam semesta akan berkembang seiring waktu jika kita mengetahui keadaannya pada saat apa pun, dalam batas-batas yang ditetapkan oleh kaidah ketidakastian. Hukum-hukum itu boleh jadi aslinya ditetapkan oleh Tuhan, tapi tampaknya Dia sudah membiarkan alam semesta berkembang sesuai hukum-hukum itu dan sekarang tak lagi ikut campur dalam alam semesta.

A sense that you had gone beyond yourself and could go farther still.

Think bigger It makes a profit

Man made borders not to limit himself, but to have something to cross.

Life demands growth

Growth is one of the most natural process of life

How much larger your life would be if your self could become smaller in it.

And what's beyond vastness? It shrinks...
