Theories explain facts; they don't become facts.

I dont think I ever said they did?
high plausibility can be reached .. but not certainty ..
example:
Fire is an exothermic reaction of materials with oxygen (rapid oxydation reaction), fuel, heat and a sustained chemical reaction.
yet they cannot fully explain "black body radiation" within the fire ..
Regardless, I feel better about factual based theories than none factual based beliefs.
I dont ever wish to deny anyone their faith but it will always be a world apart from how I understand the Universe.

here is the correct way to say that ..
Regardless, I feel better about plausibility based theories that I accept, rather than non-plausibility based beliefs I do not accept.
I dont ever wish to deny anyone their faith but it will always be a world apart from how I understand the Universe.
so let me understand you .. are you saying you think the epics of the bible are fables ???
is not your acceptance of plausibility not based on an interpretation of evidence ???

Sorry...that wasn't to you. It was a general comment.
I need time to think about this comment seeing as you consider my post an incorrect statement.
the distance is calculated on the speed of light ..
yet it has been proven light can travel faster ..
so since they have no clue what deep space consist of .. IT IS FAITH BASED ..
note: the speed of light in a vacuum is defined as 299,792.4580 km/sec.
I'm very keen on Astronomy ixoye and recent NASA reports are quite conclusive that Voyager has now reached the interstellar space.
I'm interested in your ideas of star distance. What is the nearest in your opinion in light years? Distance across our galaxy?
and it is basically a dead ship .. slowly gliding and slowing down ..
cant say .. because as I said, no one knows what deep space consists of ..
therefore distance cannot be measured ..
1 Astronomical Unit = 92,955,807.3 miles
heliosphere from earth = approx 127.26 AU
1 light year = 63,239.7263 Astronomical Units
what if deep space contains Cesium Gas ???
under certain conditions, light can travel 300 times faster then through a vacuum ..
meaning light can get from one point to the other before you even send it .. (backward linear time travel applications)
Causality principle: a cause must precede an effect ..
but it has been proven an effect can proceed the cause ..
NEC scientists measured the time taken by a pulse of light to pass through a 6cm-long specially prepared chamber containing cesium gas*2. The 3-microsecond long pulse of light would normally take only 0.2 nanoseconds to pass through the chamber in a vacuum. But when passed through the specially prepared chamber, light emerged 62 nanoseconds earlier than it would have had it passed through the chamber in a vacuum. This unusual phenomenon is the result of "anomalous dispersion", an effect not seen in nature (that we know) in transparent materials and is created by the non-natural (that we know) thermal state of the cesium gas used in the chamber.
ok .. fair enough .. so the experiment made light travel 300 times faster .. how do we know it does not travel 30 times faster naturally in deep space ??? .. we don't ..

Still transmitting data though. Certainly not slowing down, maybe not accelerating but bound to laws of physics really.
And were you ever impressed by those images of the outer planets that Voyager 1 & 2 sent back?
Standard units. Your point is what?
lol .. I just showed you where they proved one of the laws of physics isn't a law ..
BTW: The heliosheath is 3 to 4 billion miles in thickness, and Voyager 1 will be inside it for another 3 years or so.

read my post .. they are "assuming" deep space is a vacuum .. they have no means to test what it is .. and if it contains cesium gas, then their calculations could be way off ..
The heliosphere, composed of the sun’s magnetic field and a high-velocity stream of charged particles called the solar wind, creates an enormous bubble around our solar system. The charged particles move at about a million miles per hour, only slowing down when they near the region where the pressure of interstellar gas dominates. We thought Voyager 1, our farthest spacecraft, had arrived at edge of the heliosphere, but there is something fishy about Voyager 1’s new data.
Launched in 1977, the twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager2 have both entered an area called the heliosheath, where the solar wind slows, even though they’re headed in different directions away from the Sun. Voyager 1 lies farthest away, 11 billion miles from Earth, and at this distance it encountered a “magnetic highway.” Here the Sun’s magnetic field connects with the interstellar magnetic field, allowing for an exchange of charged particles between inside and outside the heliosphere.
Voyager 1 measured the highest rate of change so far between incoming and outgoing particles. “We saw a dramatic and rapid disappearance of the solar-originating particles. They decreased in intensity by more than 1,000 times, as if there was a huge vacuum pump at the entrance ramp onto the magnetic highway,” said Stamatios Krimigis, the low-energy charged particle instrument’s principal investigator at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. In this same region, scientists first detected the low-energy cosmic rays that originate from dying stars.
This should indicate that the spacecraft has reached interstellar space, except scientists have not yet seen the final indicator: an abrupt change in the direction of the magnetic field.
“If you looked at the cosmic ray and energetic particle data in isolation, you might think Voyager had reached interstellar space, but the team feels Voyager 1 has not yet gotten there because we are still within the domain of the Sun’s magnetic field,” said Edward Stone, Voyager project scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
So how much farther does Voyager 1 need to travel until it reaches interstellar space? Scientists estimate several months or even years until Voyager 1 experiences a change in magnetic field direction. For now, they have named this strange zone the heliosheath depletion region.
