There are fundamentalists in many faiths. First of all, the person that you are speaking with must accept that what your seeing is 6000 light years away. To my surprise I have had some creationist say that the Earth APPEARS to be as old as it is but that 6000 years ago God made it LOOK that way. Can you also believe that in The Bible it says that the Moon shines over the night and that is why some say that the Moon irradiates light?

If you and your adversary do not have common ground to start on then your debate is no longer a debate but an argument.

Start with what you have in common first then go from there.

What does Galileo have to do with the telescope?

Galileo was the first person to use a telescope for astronomical purposes, making significant observations that supported the heliocentric model of the solar system. His astronomical discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, revolutionized our understanding of the universe.


Would you see the back of your head with an infinite power telescope pointed into space?

This answer could be yes or no, depending on if we are absolutely sure if the universe is flat or a closed (curved) universe, which we are currently not sure of. If the universe is flat, the answer would be no because the universe would be expanding and traveling faster than the speed of light, so you could never see the back of your head. The answer would be yes, if the universe was closed, because it can keep going and get back to where it started like we can walk in straight line on earth and end back where we started. ================================= And don't forget that even if it's closed, you would have to wait several billion years, until the light from the back of your head made the trip around the universe and wound up back where you are now. No matter how 'powerful' your telescope is, it can't reduce the time light needs to travel from one place to another. More 'power' only allows it to detect dimmer light.

Who first used the telescope to examine the universe?

It was Galileo. He first thought thet the earth was revolving around the sun, but others didn't believe him because they thought that God created the world as the center. He made a telescope and proved to everyone that the solar system is following the geometrical system, the Earth revolving around the Sun.


Why is Hubble's law important?

Hubble's Law states that the receding velocity of an object A, with relative to object B, is directly proportional to the distance between the two objects. It allows us to calculate the speeds of celestial bodies with respect to Earth, given that we know the distance to that object(which can be found by using Doppler's Red Shift).

Will the SDSS telescope map out 100 billion galaxies in the universe?

No, because it will be impossible for the SDSS telescope to map out all 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

Why do scientists use lightyears and astromical units?

I think it is because The Universe is so GIANT that earth measures just aren't enough. I hope I helped!


Can a Hubble space telescope see farther into the universe because it is closer to the stars?

it is 24000 metres


Are super giants rare?

no, that depends, because super giants are so big, they can be seen easiely depending on its distance. a super giants can be seen by telescope and u can usually tell its super giant, though their are millions of super giants in the universe, and other solar system, but we just don't have the avanced technology to see them. because of they are millions or thousands of lightyears away


Why the universe is black as the sun is present in the universe?

The Universe appears to be dark because space (meaning nothing), contains no matter for the sun to shine on. Also, another reason is that the universe is so large that, if you were to even try to look at the edge of the universe from outer space, the light would not exist beyond a certain point (because of the measurement of lightyears, and the never ending radius of the universe that is expanding). Thus, the universe is black.


Do Christians believe the universe is real?

Uh... Yes? Just because Christians don't really believe in the Big Bang (I'm Christian and I believe in it, so sue me.) doesn't mean they don't believe in the universe.

How Important do you think three gyroscopes are to the hubble space telescope?

They are extremely important because they give us a view of the universe that is betterthan the telescopes on the ground.


Why the universe is black?

The universe is not black. The universe as a whole is microwave, at a cavity radiation temperature of about 3 K. The space between stars just looks black because you can't see microwave.


Why was the Hubble Space Telescope related to Edwin Hubble?

The Hubble Space Telescope was named in honor of Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer who made significant contributions to the field of observational cosmology. Hubble's work helped to demonstrate that the universe is expanding, which laid the foundation for our current understanding of the universe's evolution and structure. Naming the telescope after him was a tribute to his groundbreaking research and legacy in the field of astronomy.


How did Edwin Hubble think of making the Hubble space telescope?

Edwin Hubble did not think of making the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble space telescope is simply named after him because of his contributions to astronomy. His greatest discovery came in 1929 when he determined that the Universe was expanding, which later became the bases for the Big Bang theory.
