Would magn. pole reversal actually mess up electronic equipment?

Aren't they all?

He is right, of course, AlwaysWrong. He must be since you're always wrong.

Yeah, sure bub. Ten year old mentalities like yours and most of the other total retards in this group are pretty much par for the course for you wussy boys. There are not very many among you that do not express severe character flaws at just about every turn.

You, ThompsonTard, and K-Tard are utter stupidity cubed.

Shame that we couldn't send your stinking cube through a car crusher and make it smaller, and a lot less invasive into Usenet.

You must be talking about each other.

I am not a fairy, and I voted for McCain.

You are obviously oblivious to all the posts that I made where I expressed my opinion about the Obama retard's character as well.

*I* remember a BOMBER, and I was the same age as he. Maybe his mommy, who could afford to send him to Harvard, could not afford a television set.

Alas, the net result of your post is that you both show the group that The Trinity of Immaturity Cubed never ceases to post their immature horseshit into these groups on a daily basis.

No, AlwaysWrong, we're talking about the fairy DimBulb. I wouldn't expect you to comprehend the thread, though.

You lust after McCain too? Seek help!

You could leave, fairy DimBulb.

You're an idiot.

It is proven, and we even named telescopes after the guy, you stupid twit.

More proof. He left out Palin. If he wasn't a farit he would have mentioned the woman on the ticket.

Or just step in front of a bus.

Are you saying that the local space is that space that moves with the common velocity relative to the Hubble flow?

Sylvia

Space doesn't move. *Objects* move through space. Pretty simple shit.

Apparently even more simple than the ability to keep from double posting.

If it doesn't move, then it's the same everywhere. So why did you refer to more than one local space ealier?

Sylvia.

Idiot. There is only ONE 'local space to any object. You are beyond the capacity to comprehend it though. apparently, one of your parents was not human. I'm betting dog. One of the really dumb breeds.

Do the local spaces move relative to each other?

Sylvia.

There is NO plurality, IDIOT!

Also, as stated before already, SPACE does NOT move, ya ditz. The objects in it do. Wherever they are at any given time places them in THAT local space, WHICH THEY ARE MOVING THROUGH.

You said

"*WE* move through local space at a given velocity. Other elements of the galaxy move through their local space at their velocity."

What's the word "their" there for then, if not to indicate that other elements are moving through a different local space?

Sylvia

Do you always have such trouble with adjectives, and their meanings?

The space local to Us and our solar system is our local space. In few seconds, we will be in a different place, different space, but it will still be called our local space..

Another object in some other arm of our galaxy is moving through the space that is local to it right now, and it not too many seconds, it will be in different space, but that space will still be that space that can be described as being local to that 'locale'.

Space is filled with dark matter.

The only space that is absolutely devoid of anything is the space between your ears. Even if that space is only the size of a pea, due to your skull thickness.

So there are multiple distinct local spaces.

Sylvia.

There are multiple, distinct idiots in Usenet. You number among them.

--- Which leads to my favorite hypothesis; that there was no big bang, but rather a big bubble which came about much like a bubble appears in a cavitating medium.

If that were the case, then the medium surrounding our bubble would be the Universe, while what was bounded by the walls of our bubble would be our universe.

Looking at it from the point of view that matter is accelerating away from us as its distance from us increases makes no sense in a big bang universe since, after the initial acceleration, nothing would be driving the mass and one would expect that matter would either recede at a constant velocity if the universe was open, stop if the universe was static, or accrete if the universe was closed.

Such is not the case however, and for matter to accelerate as it gets farther way from us requires that some force be attracting it.

If that force is gravitational and our universe is bubble-like, then the tug must be exerted by something external to our universe: the mass peculiar to that part of the Universe which is attracting it, causing matter on this side of the wall to hurtle toward it.

As you say, there are, interestingly, blue shifts in our local group which indicate that some of our members are being attracted to each other.

Even as that happens, though, we're _all_ accelerating toward the wall, sort of like people walking toward each other on a train accelerating toward a mountain.
