I mean, if they wanted to prove the big bang, wouldn't that mean there are places we could look at that would never have stars or galaxies? Like there should be an "edge" at some point right? And we should be able to see it looking in any direction.
I guess unless they say the universe is so dense that looking at any point would show stars? But then wouldn't the universe have way more matter t hen they currently hypothesis?
Or would they come up with some kind of folded space theory where it "loops" back?
How can the universe be infinite if it was a "big bang"? And if the big bang has infinite energy/mass then there should be infinite energy mass in our universe?

Sorry for shitting up the board or whatever for retarded questions but adv or wsr won't answer my question

How come mathematicians as a whole are more religious than physicists? I’ve noticed that most physicists are atheists whereas most mathematicians believe in God.

Hello /sci/. I was wondering about how research in biomath looks like. Additionally I am also curious about what background in math you'd need to pursue biomath and if more traditionally pure math subjects like analysis can help.

ok, let's shitpost then
What is sleep's endgame?

Is it possible to genetically engineer the human brain to experience euphoria permanently? Maybe by making brain receptors hypersensitive to serotonin and dopamine and inhibiting or slowing down down-regulation mechanisms for those receptors?

If reincarnation is real how come the population is always ever increasing? Wouldn't there be a limited amount of souls that can inhabit bodies after death? What happens with all the new supply of people when the amount of spirits can't match them?

I don't really follow space shit that much but when SLS is done, itll be reusable right? It's been in development for close to 10 years I think so they surely wouldn't have it be a 1 time rocket that can't be reused right? Or once the 1st one is made they can churn out others in like a year or less no? What's the deal here I dont follow

I want to study physics, CS, economics, i'm thinking of doing physics because it seems the most difficult and do the rest by myself, is it possible?
