Title: What was happening when there was no magnetic field in universe?
Post by: Raghavendra on 16/03/2009 09:00:34
  what was happening  when there was no magnetic field in universe and having gravitional force???

Mod edit - Please make your subjects as the question you wish to ask.  This makes the forum tidier and easier to navigate.

What makes you think that there was a time when there was no gravitational force?

I wasn't making fun of your question. All I was (sarcastically) saying was that: it would be fun if there was no magnetic field in universe and/or no gravity. [:)]

I suspect that there was never a time when natures laws did not behave just as they do today. I know of no evidence to the contrary.

Raghavendra   could you please restate your question in a bit more detail then we might be able to answer it properly.

We are only just beginning to understand the effects of very large scale magnetic fields in shaping galaxies because although they are very weak they can have an effect over vast volumes of space and time and represent quite large amounts of energy. 

As for gravity. This is completely unrelated to electromagnetism.  However there is a gravito magnetic process which again is only just starting to be measured and its affects in the very early phases of the big bang could be very important but are again not yet fully understood.

Raghavendra there seems to have been magnetic fields very early in the universe's history

It was thought that galactic magnetic fields built up over galactic time and that the magnetic fields initially (Big Bang) was very weak and built up after hand as galaxies, suns, etc, developed spinning, in the so called "galactic dynamo" model, but it seems that those stellar 'dynamo mechanisms' isn't responsible for the magnetic fields. Those ideas are starting to be questioned.

Quote from: yor_on's link above
“It would if we also knew that these stars were primordial first stars, which they are not,” Miniati says. In reply, Catala maintains that there are no telescopes on Earth or in orbit that are sensible enough to see the first stars, which are by now several billions of light years away. Nor, he adds, are such telescopes planned for the near future.

Catala also admits that there's a chance these magnetic fields are not primordial, but emphasizes that “This [the find] is completely in agreement with the fossil field theory,” and that the field “could indeed be primordial.” At the very least, the new discovery points out the fact that stellar dynamo mechanisms are not responsible for these magnetic fields, as others suggested in the past.
I read the article several times and still do not understand how they come to the conclusion that a dynamo effect could not be responsible for the observed magnetic fields. Any time a charge is set in motion, a magnetic field is created. Young stars must be full of ions in motion. Why would it take billions of years to set ions in motion?

Vern, the big bang theory predicts that galactic magnetic fields should be weaker the more distant the galaxy is. (New Scientist, March 28, 1992, p. 24) .This one might be a good thing to read:)
I know I will.

You will find another link there with even more material on the Big Bang, redshift and proofs.

Quote from: yor_on's link
Second, we have confirmed that the oldest stars in our own galaxy are between 12 and 13 billion years old. Though Pickrell (cf. n. 5) notes that these "were probably not among the universe's very first stars," they would have formed no more than a billion years after the cosmos itself began to form. Though this only proves an age for our galaxy, not necessarily the universe, the result of 14 billion years perfectly matches the most recent calculation of the projected start-point for the universe's observed expansion.
This supposed evidence in favour of the big bang theory is, to me, evidence against it. These 12 and 13 billion year old stars are not first generation stars; they have too many heavy elements in them. First generation stars that produced the heavy elements would require 12 to 13 billion years to live out their existence.

That is indeed a weighty argument. Do you have any links for it?

The quote was from the link you provided. There were many other supposed observations in favour of the big bang cited in the link that seem to me to be arguments against the concept.

Which one :)

Ok, found it.
But those results are rather old. They seem to be from 1997-98.

"A High Deuterium Abundance at Redshift z=0.7," Nature, 17 July, 1997, pp. 250-2: finds far more hydrogen isotopes than there should be; and J. Michael Shull, Lennox Cowie and Antoinette Songaila show there are far more heavy elements strewn throughout the intergalactic voids than anyone thought J. Michael Shull, "Intergalactic Pollution," Nature, 2 July, 1998.

It seems our instruments and data is better now.

Vern I looked and in the process found this.

And this one is interesting too.
http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/space/universe/galaxy-hunters.html

"These stars burned brightly and then fizzled after only a few million years, dying in titanic explosions called supernovae. During the brief time these first stars reigned, however, they wrought changes in the universe that had a profound effect on future galaxy formation."

According to the latest WMAP data the first stars come into existence around 400 millions year after the Big Bang.

I think that Raghavendra has managed to troll you all. Why do you answer this stuff, guys? It only encourages them.
