POPULATED UNIVERSE
This picture is taken from the Hubble space telescpe. During some time it was focusen on a seemingly empty part of the Universe keeping the shutter open. When they finallay ”developed” what the teleskope had recorded, this picture was seen! It was NOT empty space! It is worth noticing that the picture is showing only A SMALL PART of the Universe.
Most of the bright spots are galaxies. It is interesting to note the development of our view of the Universe from the idea of a flat earth to the picture above. We have found that we live in a similar star system as some of these above. We call them Galaxies and the one we live in is called ”The Milky Way” or more beautifully ”The Winter Street” translated from Swedish. It has about 200-400 billion stars in it. Our nerrest galaxy neighbour we call ”The Andromeda Galaxy”. In dark nights it can be seen with the naked eye as a fuzzy spot the direction of the Andromeda star constallation.
In the Magazine National Geography dated June 18, 2019 there is an exciting artikel with the title ”Two potentiellt life-friendly planets found orbiting a nearby star” with the subtitle: ”We Will eventually see if they are actual habitable and, perhaps, even inhabited” astronomers predict.
ARE WE ALONE IN COSMOS?
In tris perspektivet it is natural to ask the question: "ARE WE ALONE IN COSMOS?" Where codan we find an anser to this question? The scientific way, the philosophical way or the spiritual way or all three of them?
LATEST UPDATE: January 22nd, 2022
WELCOME!
Here I express the main ideas of what I find in my studeis. It is an effort to discover more pieces of the puzzle in the search for some answers to the many questions which can be asked.
I focus on these three areas:
PERSPECTIVE, IDENTITY and MEANING in Cosmos. I strongly believe that intelligent beings are widely spread out in Cosmos.
My endeavor is to broaden my understanding in these three areas and share my findings. I see these tree areas very important and I do my search mostly in the spiritual and scientific fields. When mentioning scientific I include both traditional and alternative science. New fields of search may come along the way.
What will be found here is mostly excerpts from the more extensive text I am writing concerning the three areas mentioned above. The pages in these areas will be slightly updated and reaarranged.
Welcome with me on this journey!
