New Theory Postulates Galaxy-Sized Neutrinos, Expanding Since the Beginning of Time

I think scientist pull this stuff out they're a$$... that's just my opinion.

It's an interesting thought, but it would seem awfully difficult to assess even with these super tanks. The incidence of collision is so rare for the tinies. As for the new extremes -- apparently they almost don't leave a mark.

Seems a similar task to the old saw about sorting pepper from fly droppings while wearing boxing gloves. Possibly blindfolded as well.

Good luck to them

"I think scientist pull this stuff out they're a$$... that's just my opinion."

The stuff talked about in this article is real, and wasn't pulled out of anyone's arses. They're real concepts, real theories, real science and mathematics. Do some research into subatomic particles, and neutrinos, and you'll understand this article more.

Did you read the article?
Neutrinos come in 3 flavors, and none of them are "10 billion light years across", which is what the article states.

"The study, first reported by National Geographic, claims that as the universe expanded, the neutrinos generated by the Big Bang stretched along with the fabric of space-time. Now, after being distorted by 13.7 billion years of cosmic expansion, those original neutrinos could be as large as ten billion light years across."

Every Atom in this universe(Atoms are made up of particles)was created during the big bang.
Since it has been proven that space in the universe is uniform, every particle must have expanded at the same rate.
How can you have different sized particles, in a uniform universe?

"Every Atom in this universe(Atoms are made up of particles)was created during the big bang."
Not quiet correct.
The fundamental forces of the universe came about from the Big Bang, not atoms. These forces brought about fundamental particles like quarks and neutrinos, which in turn brough about protons, neutrons, and electrons. Which then formed hydrogen. The hydrogen fused to form helium. The helium and hydrogen gravitated together to form stars, and from the stars came about the heavier atoms on the periodic table.

"Since it has been proven that space in the universe is uniform, every particle must have expanded at the same rate."
Hardly correct.
Space is far from uniform. Anything with mass exerts gravity, which in turn distorts space. There are clumps of mass everywhere in the universe, and they are all distorting space.
The measurement of cosmic background radiation showed that even at its earliest stages, the universe had parts of low enegery density and high energy density and most definitely not uniform.

"How can you have different sized particles, in a uniform universe?"
We have different sized particles now. Electrons are smaller and protons, and quarks smaller still.

Before you claim that "scientist pull this stuff out they're a$$" think about how the scientific method works and the checks and balances inherent in it. Think how those checks and balances make it very hard for people to just make stuff up. Finally, I suggest you read up on quantum mechanics and wave/particle duality.

Lastly, it might be advantageous for you to reconsider how literal one should take the hype-making scientific headlines from a popular publication like National Geographic.

aadailey I think it's important that we remember that this is only a theory. None of this has actually been proven but could possibly be sometime in the near future. Let's wait to share our opinions until the truth comes through.

This is like saying all apples are the same size. It's important to look at all the factors affecting different particles. Closeness to sources of heat may have have huge impacts on the size of objects.
