I am not a scientist, just an intelligent man of some
education. So I read in the newspaper that
scientists have "the smoking gun" that proves that during the
Big Bang the universe went from the
size of a marble

This is an approximate value. Entirely meaningless, since there
was no matter at that time.

to a volume larger than all observable space in a
trillion-trillionth of a second. It makes me kind of
mad that they think they can tell us any piece of
crap and we will believe it.

Your opinion isn't what they care about. They have scientific
evidence that allows no other conclusion, based on the Standard
Model. They reported same to you. If you don't like it, you
can either wail to the four winds, or get an education in science
and fix it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are three conspirators
somewhere laughing their
asses off at the newspapers printing such a
stupid story.

No need. This type of inflation is expected and predicted by the
Standard Model. They have simply adjusted "decimal places".

Do you see how ridiculous this is?

I see how pointless your tirade is. You *said* you had no
science education.

The universe in the size of a marble?

Why not? No matter, no "things of size". The point is "size of
a marble" compared to the Universe today.

Expanding that far in that short a time? Not unless
there were different laws of physics then vs now!

Nope. Same physics that has gravitational time dilation between
the Earth and the Sun.

But just to take a straw poll, whether you are
an eminent physicist or just a guy like me -

How about "in between"?

how many are buying this story?

The story simply presents the facts, couched in the Standard
Model. I don't like the Standard Model, but the period of
inflation I don't object to.

Consider that if you are placed midway between two Earths, that
you feel no net attraction from either. Now consider that were
there particles existing in the "marble Universe", it would be
almost as far in *any* direction to your nearest neighbor. If
there were attractive forces, 1/r^2 (electrostatic,
gravitational) would not resolve significant differences.

Space isn't what you think it is. The Universe isn't expanding
"into" something.
