Chapter 1: Big bang? Not!
How we think depends on what we have learned or experienced in our lifetime. Our knowledge creates a mental box that guides our perception of the world and its problems. This idea is NOT novel. Therefore, I think as a biologist/chemist. With that said, I have decided to tackle astronomy and quantum mechanics by thinking as a biologist/chemist. These ideas are NOT SUPPORTED by ANY SCIENTIFIC DATA. By asking “WHAT IF” and then thinking about the world through the mind’s eye of a biologist/chemist, the current big bang theory just doesn’t make any sense.
If the big bang theory is true, then all the matter/energy in the universe was in one place at one time. IF everything was in one place and it exploded, it would disperse the energy/matter in a spherical orientation and you could pinpoint the center of the universe. Problem number one: There is no center to the universe. Ask an astronomer where the center of the universe is located and they will probably laugh at you. The mere fact that we are living on a planet of heavier elements is proof that the big bang didn’t happen the way that theorists have described it. Now many of you might be wondering how I came to that conclusion, so here is my stupid reasoning. If a big bang created all this matter, which dispersed to form galaxies, then the only thing there was to begin with was… PROTONS!!! Now since we know that YOUNG stars make elements like hydrogen or helium and OLD stars, i.e., supernovas, make the heavier elements, then the planet we exist on, which is made from heavier elements, must have resulted from the death of millions of stars. Ok, I’ll go a little more slowly. Since dying stars make heavier elements like iron, lead, carbon, and oxygen, then the planet we exist on was formed from the remnants of dead stars, i.e., heavier elements. Now since we are in a galaxy of relatively young stars and the closest neighboring galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy), then where did the remnants of these dead stars come from? It would seem logical that another galaxy existed near where our galaxy exists OR another galaxy existed in the exact same spot where our galaxy is NOW. If our galaxy were to have occurred from a big bang, then where did all the heavier elements come from? Now there will be people that say these heavier elements occurred at some point in the big bang “process.” All I have to say to that is “Abracadabra!” because it must have been magic. We see young stars make matter like hydrogen and helium, but only dying stars make heavier elements that make up this planet, other planets, and YOU & I, which means that everything we SEE and FEEL is made from remnants of dead stars. This means that something existed before our galaxy was born which made all these heavier elements!!!!
