Here's my question. Are we the only life in this universe?

The answer has to be no. So what sort of effects would we be making if we somehow used our 'will' to change the features of this reality?

Now, scientifically: from our viewpoint, we stand at the center of a universe that, at its fringes, shows what are called quasars. These are likely the super-massive beginnings of galaxies, which most probably started when large stars formed quickly and died quickly. This is what we see. Massive black holes. Quasars, to the best of the understanding of modern science, are black holes that are at the perimeter of our time-like perception, extremely large and active, with massive accretion disks and super-heated jets of light and charged particles spewing from their poles. This is at the very edge of what modern telescopes can see. One may say that this forms a spherical envelope around us, but in what way does that place us at the center of this phenomenon? Only due to our location, and the idea that space is not warped sufficiently that we do not see such young quasars at nearer distances in paticular directions. What is the shape of the universe? Could such an idea be estimated from within the phenomenon? That's questionable.

My point here is: we aren't at the center. It may be that the idea is not correct that 14.6 billion years there was a "Big Bang" that spawned this space-time. We really have no way of knowing. Sometimes scientists remark that there appear to be some stars which are older than they should be. How old, I'd have to go find these relevant papers. Perhaps the idea of the P-branes is more correct, but I'm not very conversant with that one. Is the shape spherical, seen from our perceptual viewpoint, what does that mean, and how does that shape up with the idea of Open, Closed, and Flat universes?

A Flat universe might be similar in idea and scope to the established idea perhaps Einstein favored, that of a sort of permanent Euclidean plane, a Steady-State universe.

the fact that you insist i am using my mind to control the universe is not correct

the human heart is the cross-over between light and magnetism - as an electromagnetic being, i have the ability to align with my heart's desire in a way that causes the elements to respond to my desire

now, if you have all of which you desire blackbeard, i suggest you ignore me and my contribution

as far as living in an atmosphere that supports life-forms to breathe without having to eat each other.... saline bonded with oxygen is an atmosphere the earth has maintained in the past.

also
at this time, the earth is recalibrating her axis and tilt to establish a new atmosphere. i offer the information about the principle of pangasm because it is a scientific overview of our birthright, pointing out that the elements that create dense form are responsive to personality. however, if that personality is stuck in it's crown (mind oriented), or in it's root (physically oriented) then the results from dense matter in the way of air, water, particles, earth and sun, will be random for the personality because that personality is mortal. when a personality establishes their center in the heart and stop projecting death as their future transformative event, then the results become as requested by the personality. this is the new frontier

i offer this with love and generosity
there is no controlling anything
there is simply love conducting itself
mortality is a disease being called normal

<<<You are working that idea of Big Crunch from some presumption that there is a specific center to re-crunch to. I don't feel there is.

Black holes, by the Hawking theory, dissipate in time, if they are not fed.

The standard theory implies that space grew with the expansion of the energy/matter within it.

There's a lot to think about. >>>

Given how very little we know about black holes, I dont even pretend to come to any conclusions. But knowing the origin leads to theoretical assumptions based on that knowledge. Without copying and pasting a bunch of factoids lets just say I understand the basic knowledge of black holes and Hawkins work.

Now just for the sake of imagination, let us say the black hole grows as it consumes more matter to the point of having gobbled up other black holes and with that it just keeps growing like a giant universal vaccum cleaner and sucks EVERYTHING back into it.

Every galaxy is believed to have a black hole. It sets there and gobbles up debris and planets, then gets swallowed up by a bigger one...Once all of the matter in the universe is condensed into oblivion, it makes sense to me that certain properties would reach critical mass and invert. No center. Just a sudden and violent expansion as the material returns to its original size and bumps against itself and some of it fuses and there's massive energies producing long lasting sparks.

Have you ever dripped hot metal or solder onto a hard surface? It explodes into little tiny perfectly round BB's. Now, condensing on the scale of supermassive black holes has to create new properties of the vaccum. It's so compact it is the anti-vaccum or some shit like that. If you took a balloon and sucked the inside down to an unfathomable vaccum with dust particles in it and were able to jerk the outside out faster than light speed, there would be no center, only random motion from bumping and expanding as the particles find somewhere to be. The mass of the particles would not be able to keep up with the direction of the expansion, which would be the sudden inversion of gravity, which is an instant physical property. The same way like polarity magnets repel violently with incredible speed, thus went the universe. BWWWOH!!! There! And I think it will equalize over unimaginable time as this BWWWOH! was the puff of energy created from the compression of all matter in the universe. As the energy produced dissipates, it shrinks back down and does it again. Hell of a dynamo huh? Makes me wonder what we are producing the energy for.........Universe size energy.....It must be one big machine or organism!!!!!

Can you imagine if we were a type of neuclear fuel for something much larger than our universe? (By nuclear I mean the energy from the expansion, not the typical kind) Would you know if a universe existed in our nuclear reactors that was the size of electrons? Perhaps this thing bigger than us doesnt know we exist....It's a whole different blast on god. Perhaps what created us didnt realize it yet because we are an unknown accident? And to be in its shoes, what do you do when your energy source communicates with you???????????

Perhaps we should listen real close to our energy.Ha!Ha!

New Search for Dark Energy Goes Back in Time
Written by Nancy Atkinson ShareThis


Baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) sounds like it could be technobabble from a Star Trek episode. BAO is real, but astronomers are searching for these particle fluctuations to do what seems like science fiction: look back in time to find clues about dark energy. The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey(BOSS), a part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), took its "first light" of astronomical data last month, and will map the expansion history of the Universe.

"Baryon oscillation is a fast-maturing method for measuring dark energy in a way that's complementary to the proven techniques of supernova cosmology," said David Schlegel from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the Principal Investigator of BOSS. "The data from BOSS will be some of the best ever obtained on the large-scale structure of the Universe."

BOSS uses the same telescope as the original Sloan Digital Sky Survey — 2.5-meter telescope
at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico — but equipped with new, specially-built spectrographs to measure the spectra.

Baryon oscillations began when pressure waves traveled through the early universe. The same density variations left their mark as the Universe evolved, in the periodic clustering of visible matter in galaxies, quasars, and intergalactic gas, as well as in the clumping of invisible dark matter.

Comparing these scales at different eras makes it possible to trace the details of how the Universe has expanded throughout its history – information that can be used to distinguish among competing theories of dark energy.

“Like sound waves passing through air, the waves push some of the matter closer together as they travel” said Nikhil Padmanabhan, a BOSS researcher who recently moved from Berkeley Lab to Yale University. “In the early universe, these waves were moving at half the speed of light, but when the universe was only a few hundred thousand years old, the universe cooled enough to halt the waves, leaving a signature 500 million light-years in length.”

“We can see these frozen waves in the distribution of galaxies today,” said Daniel Eisenstein of the University of Arizona, the Director of the SDSS-III. “By measuring the length of the baryon oscillations, we can determine how dark energy has affected the expansion history of the universe. That in turn helps us figure out what dark energy could be.”

“Studying baryon oscillations is an exciting method for measuring dark energy in a way that’s complementary to techniques in supernova cosmology,” said Kyle Dawson of the University of Utah, who is leading the commissioning of BOSS. “BOSS’s galaxy measurements will be a revolutionary dataset that will provide rich insights into the universe,” added Martin White of Berkeley Lab, BOSS’s survey
scientist.

On Sept. 14-15, 2009, astronomers used BOSS to measure the spectra of a thousand galaxies and quasars. The goal of BOSS is to measure 1.4 million luminous red galaxies at redshifts up to 0.7 (when the Universe was roughly seven billion years old) and 160,000 quasars at redshifts between 2.0 and 3.0 (when the Universe was only about three billion years old). BOSS will also measure variations in the density of hydrogen gas between the galaxies. The observation program will take five years.
