who_knows Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Are planets and matter etc still being created/evolving as part of the Universe,or had the Universe reached it's maximum a certain number of years after the so called Big Bang? The Universe now would not have the heat of billions of degreesC like it did in the begining to cause any new planets ect to be created

who_knows Posted June 10, 2005 Author Posted June 10, 2005 Ok.So things are being created and destroyed within existing space and not the existing Universe actually betting bigger
Severian Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Ok.So things are being created and destroyed within existing space and not the existing Universe actually betting bigger Well, it is still expanding, but that is a different thing....
Tommio Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 The idea of the conservation of energy would mean that matter (being energy fundamentally - according to some!) is not being destroyed but is 'evolving'. Even if the universe is still expanding , if matter wa being created the mass of the universe would be incresing exponentially (the bigger the universe gets the larger the 'surface area' of expansion assuming it is occuring everywhere, not just in select places. What would this extra matter do to the overall temperature? I don't know but it would either increse or decrease it. If matter is being created is is plausable to assume anti-matter is also being created?
insane_alien Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 well we can deduce that our own sun is at least a second generation star since the elements that make up our planets must have originated in a star that has died and then the remains formed into our sun and surround in planets/planetoids
Guest AnTi MinD Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 hi people when we talk about the expansion of the universe it is not neccessary for the matter of the universe to increase because we can hav an increase in volume but also a decrease in density it is not neccessary for the addition of matter and as for the "evolution" of matter this takes place by nuclear fission which gives out energy so the overall temp of the universe will increase
Nicholas Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Maybe black holes are recyclers. After all when we see them at the center of galaxies they are not black. They are just the opposite. They are ejecting immense amounts of matter and energy out their poles. Black holes eject big time! Maybe they are creative; or re-creative that is.
