Theories of the Universe

You didn't know that?

Correct.

EDIT: Oh shit, I didn't read it correctly. I was talking about the picture of the creature that Zeph posted.

In response to "whats outside out universe?" question on the last page, I listen to the Astronomy Cast podcast every week and they tried to answer it in episode #28. A whole 30 minutes talking about it. Give it a listen, its free and very interesting. They also have a bunch of episodes in which they discuss the beginning of the universe.

But basically they say that question doesn't make sense, because all we know that exists is within our universe. There would be no time or space outside which means it doesn't exist.

Maybe thats where nonreal numbers live.

 

[cookiecutter]

BTW, what did we evolve from if not monkeys?? We haven't always been here.

Link? I did not know this.

 

[Pessimism]

If there is another Big Bang, it will come after a Big Crunch, assuming the oscillatory model is correct.



We evolved from a quadruped mammal species that is now long extinct, probably something like this.

And if you want something that could be assumed to be something of a direct ancestor:

 

[The Ozzman]

I know we evolved from a mammal like creature, you fucking cock. Read my fucking edit.

I love how I asked for a link to information on the creature Zeph posted, but he hasn't posted a link yet

And the answer to what is ___ divided by zero.

And the flying spagetti monster.

 

[Ender Rises]

Fuck you. He is fucking real. I have been touched by his noodly appendage.

 

[wandering_taco]

I hope it wasnt the reproductive noodly appendage. Otherwise youve probably been impregnated with a litter of meatballs.

I'm not sure about the actual species in the picture, but that's the picture my anthropology professor used when talking about human origins.

Probably some crooked professor. I've heard many times we evolved from Monkeys (or ape-like mammals). It's been shoved down my throat 23 years (whether it's true or not). It was what I learned about in Biology in High School. That thing is like a cross between a cat & a monkey. I don't think I buy it, but you guys can have your beliefs & I will have mine.

Never mind, I downloaded the podcast and will listen to it sometime today.

That creature is more like a tarsier than a monkey. From that species evolved both apes and monkeys. The monkeys stayed in the trees while the apes started descending from the trees and some developed bipedalism.

Fundamentally, we are descended from apes, who share a common ancestor with monkeys.

That's what I thought.

 

[Zephyrus]

Yeah it's a common misconception.

There's a difference between apes and monkeys.
