João Magueijo, of Imperial College London, and Niayesh Afshordi, of the University of Waterloo in Canada, propose that light tore along at infinite speed at the birth of the universe when the temperature of the cosmos was a staggering ten thousand trillion trillion celsius.Question 1: If light moves at "infinite speed," does movement any longer have any meaning? Wouldn't everything (including light) be everywhere simultaneously?
Question 2: Am I wrong or is there something simultaneously wacky and weird that people should be paid to study such matters?
Everywhere within a rapidly expanding space, expanding as rapidly as space. Just the other end of the spectrum from a grant to study why children fall off of tricycles.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I do not work for cash i.e. a salary at a buddhist centre or some charitable foundation has everything to do with how the cosmos began. If there is no fixed answer of how the cosmos began, the best charity I can serve is already my usually biological mother perhaps. Refrain from drawing salariable payouts from non-profit pro bono charitable services.
