Is there a site where I can download a 4D map of the known stars, galaxies and rate of expansion of space?
2 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoIs the expansion of space and time necessarily at the same rate?
Space and time are related through gravity and it is sure that gravity caused a decceleration of time as more mass was formed in the early universe. Are these rates necessarily uniform? And as more mass is converted to energy will this locally affect the change in rate of time and space (less mass = less gravity)?
2 AnswersPhysics1 decade agoIs this an epidemic?? What's the philosophical reason behind this?
It seems that there are more and more car bombings and suicide bombers, people committing suicide and takings others with them. What's the driving force for this increase in what I'd call bizarre behavior. It's a non-sequitur. Some of it is religiously motivated, but others seem to madness or maybe a disease. The religiously motivated ones are a disease too. Is there a philosophical reason behind this?
