The Big Bang

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004

Most of the scientists all over the world thinks that about 10 or 20 billion years ago all the matter was together, concentrated into a zero capacity and that the density of this matter, so called the primeval atom, was endlessly great. At that time a cosmic explosion happened. This explosion, called the Big Bang, started a huge expansion of the matter and of the space in all directions and that’s the origin of the universe.

They also think that before the Big Bang, neither time nor space existed and thus the question, what have existed before, is a meaningless.

But the Big Bang theory doesn’t explain, what sort of process or activity created the primeval atom, what surrounded it and what caused the Big Bang.

I’m sure that mankind will never be able to answer basic questions: Was the matter created and is final, or was it never created and is infinite?

I belong among those, who thinks that everything has both its beginning and its end, because I believe that nothing exists without its origin and nothing lasts forever.

On the other hand, if all that surrounds us, has its origin, what or who caused it and set the laws of nature?

Scientists and philosophers will always be able to research the nature, not what maybe exists beyond it. They will never be able to confirm or rebut existence of God or another supernatural phenomenon.

Is it a pity? I don’t think so. But in spite of this, I’d like to know true answers on all these questions.

An irreformable driver case

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004

It isn’t possible to drive a car being intoxicated, so police often inspects traffic to discover drunken drivers.

This case started during such monitoring. Police stopped a driver and he refused to undergo both a breathing and a blood test. Refusing them, he commited an offence.

According to the Offence Act, everyone, who drives a car, has to undergo such test being asked about it by police during a traffic monitoring.

Police sent this offence to the local authority as a driving offence. The offence proceedings followed and the man was fined 15 000 crown and he also wasn’t allowed to drive cars for 6 months. This decision came into force.

Neither public prosecutor nor judge participate in the proceedings like this.

During this 6 months’ driving ban he was stopped by police, driving a car again, so now he didn’t commit an offence, but a crime Wasting of execution of official decision, according to the Criminal Code. The police started summary preparatory proceedings that took 3 days and after that the public prosecutor filled a punish motion against this driver to the court. His criminal record was clear, so the judge imposed a criminal order without trial and condemned him to 200 hours or community servis and 2 years of prohibition of driving cars. The driver accepted this punishment.

During this 2 years’ period the man didn’t respect his punishemnt and drove a car again and was caught by police, so he committed another crime wasting of execution of official decision. He was detained by police with the permission of a public prosecutor and during 48 hours another summary preparatory proceedings against him was finished. The public prosecutor sent him to the court with a punish motion. The summary trial started immediately and the judge sentenced him to jail for 4 months (maximum possible penalty in the case like this was 6 months) and imposed him prohibition of driving cars for 3 years too.

The man was very surprised and served a notice of appeal, but wasn’t successful.

Soon after his releasing from prison he repeated his crime again, so after another summary criminal proceedings he returned to jail for 6 months.
