Imran Khan plans rally against CIA drone attacks in Pakistan tribal area - Washington Post [getdailynow.blogspot.com]
Question by curious moper: Spiritually wondering: what do you think about the "Steady State" theory? Just wondering... The "Steady State" theory was advanced in 1948 by British cosmologists Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold, and Fred Hoyle, who suggested that the universe is eternal and has always existed. They said that matter is continuously created, apparently "from nothing", at the rate of 62 atoms of hydrogen per cubic inch of space every billions of years. This would be sufficient enough to form new galaxies to fill in the gaps caused by the expansion of the universe. Best answer for Spiritually wondering: what do you think about the "Steady State" theory?:
Answer by The Reverend Soleil
Deader than disco -- the Big Bang is about as close to indisputable fact as one can get in the physical sciences.
Answer by Qwiff
His theory went right out the window when we discovered that the universe isn't just expanding but the expansion is accelerating.
Answer by Corey
It doesn't account for the CBMR, which was predicted by the Big Bang theory. Hubble's Law (accelerating expansion) and the observation of only light elements in the early universe pretty much put the nails in the coffin of the Steady State hypothesis.
Answer by Jabber wock
The CMB has pretty much destroyed that hypothesis, and further investigations on the anisotropy of the universe have added more nails to that coffin. Conversely there is no indication of any evidence that supports the Steady state, like such an increase of matter which should be detectable over large scales. Certainly from quantum physics we see that matter does indeed come into existence from nothing, uncaused, but it also disappears again at the same rate. We see that a vacuum is a 'froth' of such virtual particles, as evidenced by the Casimir effect. So Steady State is a bit of a dodo of hypotheses.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
In his upstart campaign to become Pakistan’s next prime minister, Imran Khan, a magnetic ex-cricket star and ardent foe of U.S. policy, draws delirious crowds by the tens of thousands who seemingly would follow him anywhere. But this weekend, Khan, who wants to lead his supporters into the dangerous tribal region to protest CIA drone attacks, appears to be headed for a roadblock: Pakistan’s formidable military.
Khan has promised to stage a massive rally on Sunday in South Waziristan, where the Pakistani army has tamped down, but not defeated, a fierce Islamic insurgency. Khan picked the location partly for political stagecraft: For years, he has called for an end to the drone campaign, which rains missiles on al-Qaeda and other militant groups in Pakistan’s tribal areas, including South Waziristan.
Khan, who has polled for two successive years as the nation’s most popular politician, this week assembled about 35 drone opponents, principally from the Washington antiwar group Codepink, to join what he calls his “tsunami†for change. Now the question dominating the political dialogue is whether that wave will be allowed to crash into Taliban territory.
The military insists that the decision rests with the civilian leadership, but, in fact, the army controls access to the restive tribal belt, which borders Afghanistan. The debate highlights tensions inherent in Pakistan’s governance: Although the politicians in Parliament and the executive branch have a vote on domestic and foreign policy, the army and its spy services essentially hold veto power.
“This is a peace march. We are not there to pick a fight with anyone,†Khan said in an interview Thursday. “The army, if they think they can’t provide protection beyond a certain point, they’ll tell us that.â€
In the past, some analysts have portrayed Khan as a military-backed candidate because of his support for some right-wing Islamists who are considered proxies for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the chief spy agency.
But as his party, Tehrik-e-Insaaf (Justice Movement), has gained significant popular support, he now has been talking more forcefully about reining in the security establishment to make it bow before the constitution.
In the interview at his spacious but simply appointed home outside the capital, he described major political-party leaders as “nurtured by military dictators.†Referring to the generals, he said, “They don’t allow natural leadership to come up because they want controllables.â€
Khan’s plan is to depart Saturday from Islamabad with a convoy, including foreigners and journalists, to reach the South Waziristan border by nightfall, then head to the rally site about 30 miles farther west.
Local authorities have voiced concern about the march, which Khan’s party predicts will draw 100,000 people. (Previous rallies in Lahore and Karachi drew double that or more.) Pakistan’s seven Federally Administered Tribal Areas are generally off-limits to anyone except the people who live there.
