But it is spinning backwards!

In the beginning according to science there was a big bang. But also, there was a spinning beginning. The universe started in a swirling motion and everything in the universe is a part of a spinning motion. 

Where are you getting this from? I've been reading about cosmology since I was a little kid and I don't remember any scientist saying anything about the early universe spinning.

Whatever you want to call it, swirl, spin, rotate, whatever.

JohnR7, that quote and article say nothing about the matter in the early universe spinning.

I just skipped on to the last page of this thread, to see if anybody questioned the bit about the early universe spinning. I'm glad Nathan David is doing just that. Good job!

Yes, JohnR7, I'd like to see what cosmology reference you're using for this. I'm really curious. Thanks!

Good lord. 7 pages on an incorrect assertion about the Big Bang (that it was spinning) and an equally incorrect assertion that "once something spins one way, it always has to".

Goodness, John. Did you take high school physics? Have you ever played billiards? Net angular momentum must be conserved.

I can slam two pool balls together, both of which have zero spin at the moment of impact, and end up with two balls spinning in different directions.

Yet I've certainly broken no laws of physics.

Anyone whose ever put a bit of English on their shot knows better.

I really do not understand what your talking about. The "big bang" was not like a explosion in that everything went straight out. The universe started expanding in a swirling, spinning motion. Everything went out spinning & rotating. If your not aware of that, then maybe you need to do your own research on the "big bang" I am getting tired of doing free research for people on here.

Go to the library, there are people there that have degrees and they will do free research for you.

I'm sorry John, but you are misinformed. The Big Bang does not say that the Universe began spinning and rotating. It is that simple.

 

[TheBear]

Let me guess the bottom line here.....

Not only did God intentionally reverse spin on objects, He also planted bogus dinosaur bones all over the place, made a young universe look old....all this and much more, in an elaborate scheme to trick scientists.

In other words, God never wanted science to explain His creation. He always wanted to be at odds with science.....

Is this the crux of what you are saying, John?

John, the Big Bang has nothing to do with the spinning of "things". Gravity started the spinning. After the big bang. You follow?

DNAunion: Someone already pointed this general idea out, but...

Thought experiment. Take two basketballs and give each a very good counterclockwise spin on a frictionless surface. Make sure that they are close enough that they collide. What happens? Their rate of spin is changed. Why? Because at whatever point the two balls meet, those parts of the balls will be going in opposite directions, even though they are both spinning counterclockwise. Now increase the number of basketballs to a hundred: you would end up with a wide variety of spin rates and some would probably end up spinning clockwise.

Let's try to relate this to our solar system. Our solar system started off from a collapsing cloud of gasses that was spinning. Let's skip ahead to the point where there are solid bodies forming, assuming that everything is revolving around the (proto)star counterclockwise. Suppose a body is either in an unstable orbit or has its stable orbit perturbed: its orbit is or becomes highly elliptical - BUT IS STILL COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Now suppose that body strikes Venus...what could happen? It could strike Venus deadon, or a glancing blow: and a glancing blow could strike either the "frontend" of Venus or the "backend" of Venus. If it hit the frontside of Venus it would assist Venus in rotating counterclockwise: but if it struck the other side of Venus - the back side, which is just as likely - it would work against Venus's counterclockwise rotation, and if the impact were strong enough, or if enough smaller ones accumulated, it/they could cause the planet to end up rotating clockwise.

Take your own advice.  The simple fact is that the Big Bang does not predict that the universe is rotating.   Your only evidence is a huge misreading of poetic language used in a TV interview transcript. 

But if you like you can bring up this issue on this astronomy board where you will get proptly corrected by several professional astronomers. 

In any event, what do you think things in the universe are rotationing around?  Bear in mind that there is no center of the universe in Big Bang cosmology.

I wonder if JohnR7 is ever going to admit he was wrong about the Big Bang demanding a "rotating" universe?

 

[LewisWildermuth]

No John won't ever admit being wrong since John personaly speaks for God, at least he believes he does, and therefore can never be wrong.

I believe you're taking some words out of context. In any case...

He spoke of the dance of electrons, beautiful to a scientist who first beheld them. And if you cannot see the milky way as a dance of stars above us, then you have no poetry in your heart.

Didn't your mamma teach you that if you can't say something nice about someone, then don't say nothing at all.
