Each and every one <strong>of</strong> these things is explained to us through the gravity theories <strong>of</strong> the SM <strong>of</strong> the universe. I<br />
now end this story that is unacceptable to me but there are some other things to say before we move on to talk<br />
about the problems that many people have with it.<br />
The human view<br />
It is important to appreciate how we humans tend to think. For those <strong>of</strong> us who like to think deeply, our truly<br />
limited abilities only become apparent when we attempt to consider what can be seen out there in space. We<br />
ask ourselves if we will ever be able to appreciate the fact that what we are looking at is only a tiny snapshot<br />
in time in the overall existence <strong>of</strong> our universe, whatever that scale <strong>of</strong> time may be. It is sobering to think that<br />
the best impression we can achieve would have no great relevance within a single tick <strong>of</strong> the universal clock;<br />
it would be no time at all. However, as we humans naïvely tend to do, we look out there with our current level<br />
<strong>of</strong> understanding and equipment and feel that it all does or can make sense to us. Gathering knowledge is<br />
undoubtedly among the best <strong>of</strong> pursuits, but for some <strong>of</strong> us, our know-it-all tendency goes further and leads us to<br />
think we actually do understand it all. In truth, we might actually be incapable <strong>of</strong> considering the unimaginably<br />
vast amount <strong>of</strong> time and number and types <strong>of</strong> events that have gone before us. It is during that period gone by<br />
that everything we now observe in space was formed and moved around over unimaginable distances under the<br />
influence <strong>of</strong> unimaginable forces that were acting on unimaginable amounts <strong>of</strong> matter travelling at unimaginable<br />
speeds. I think that we are very arrogant indeed if we believe we have a good grasp <strong>of</strong> what our universe is<br />
about and what it has gone through during countless eons. Is it not typical for us humans to be cocky about our<br />
capabilities and levels <strong>of</strong> achievement?<br />
We have been told by astro-science that the things I have mentioned: the gas, the first giant gas stars, the second<br />
more solid matter-inclusive stars, the dust and the galaxies that subsequently formed, all have been influenced<br />
by one force alone; the force <strong>of</strong> gravity. This view has lingered with us for many decades and has not changed<br />
in any significant way. The seeds from which it grew were sown back in the 1700s when an understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
the effects <strong>of</strong> the force <strong>of</strong> gravity was first developed. Scientists and astronomers welcomed this for they saw<br />
the beginnings <strong>of</strong> a ‘fundamental golden theory’ that they could take forward and use to develop their own lines<br />
<strong>of</strong> research. This focus was indeed nurtured by many through the rest <strong>of</strong> the 1700s, 1800s and into the early<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the 1900s. And the theories since derived have turned out to be the pillars on which a questionable story<br />
<strong>of</strong> the origin <strong>of</strong> our universe has evolved to become, superficially, a very believable one. Strangely, it seems to<br />
us today in the 21 st century that this ‘trustworthy information’ has always been there, for most <strong>of</strong> us have just<br />
accepted it without question as the story <strong>of</strong> how the universe came to be and how it currently functions.<br />
