when the universe was smaller than a proton, all that now creates all the gravity in the universe was located in that one unbelievably small spot, in a different form, of course, than today. This means that if there could have been an outside observer, which is impossible since there was not a place for an outside observer to be if one had been around, but if there had been one, he would notice everything going much slower as time retreated backward in reverse to that original BANG. In fact time would slow down so much as you reverse it backwards to that original BANG, that time probably becomes infinite. In other words, science will probably never be able to trace back to the time of the BANG itself because of that probable infinity of time. It is like trying to find the absolute center of a circle. A stronger microscope will constantly allow you to get more to the middle. And another thing. Did you ever wonder about Einstein's idea that no matter which way you go, if you travel in a straight line far enough in this universe, you will end up where you started? And did you ever ask somebody, who was supposed to know the answer, "why" that was? And did they tell you, as though you were some sort of an idiot for not knowing the obvious, "because space is curved". And you felt too put down to ask the obvious next question, "What do you mean space is curved and what does that have to do with anything anyway?" So you just walked away, no wiser than before, but feeling pretty stupid. What has recently passed for a highly intelligent answer, kind of like saying time is the fourth dimension, is that you return to the place of origin because space is curved, even maybe like a "saddle". I really like that one. But, having been the victim of that answer, and having noticed on the mentors face that I was to now be satisfied with my new knowledge, and was not to play the role of an idiot any more, and quit wasting his time with such asinine questions. I walked away pondering my obvious lack of comprehension. Well, chances are that if you have also asked that question you have learned the "expert" was no wiser than yourself because most of them don't know what "space is curved" means or why it should have any effect. They just know that is the proper answer to give, because it sounds impressive. But, I don't care if the universe is shaped like a saddle, or even if it is shaped like the horse itself; that answer explains absolutely nothing. If a creature lived in a universe shaped like a saddle and started traveling in order to reach the edge of his universe, and instead found that he had traveled right back to the point from which he started, I submit to you he was a two dimensional creature, traveling around his universe which was of a balloon shape (a balloon can be smashed down into the shape of a saddle); not a three dimensional creature who would be traveling through, not around, his universe. Such a creature, traveling through his universe, would reach the edge, or surface, and attempt to peer into the frontiers beyond, but of course he couldn't. His three dimension vision would only allow him to look back upon his three dimensional universe. There is no way he could be aware he had reached the 'edge' of his universe. Our three dimensional universe being bent into the ...... continued on next page Previous Page <-> Next Page |
