[Discussion] Newton's laws and TBBT

[Prometheus Beta]

Why make this about my joke?

He didn't offer a solution to the OP's problem, he merely deflected it by saying someone with more knowledge on the subject could answer better, and even then they could only offer more questions.

No I answered the OPs question: Newton's laws are just outdated ideas about the mechanics of objects within the universe. The interesting parts of the big bang have to do with the physical geometry of space itself (general relativity), not how objects behave within it (a completely irrelevant thing). I didn't say the philosophers of physics could answer it better (well ok, better than me I guess), I said you wouldn't get much out of them because Physics doesn't have an answer to the causality question.

Of course I could have just written the above paragraph, but that wouldn't be very fun/interesting for you now would it, and then you'd be complaining about me not explaining things.

I thought that scientists were unsure if the same laws of physics applied to before the Universe started to expand.
