Perspective
QUESTIONS ON PERSPECTIVE
Does our universe have an end?
As I understand the current mainstream perspecitve of our universe, "The Standard Model", it has started by an explosion of the "singularity" and is expanding into what is sometimes called "hyperspace". Mathematical models are created to get the picture together resulting in things called "blak holes", "dark matter" and "dark energy". In the "string theory" or "M-Theory" the possibility for the existence of other universes evolves in hyperspace. I have not discovered yet if that model is suggesting an end to hyperpsace.
Other models
There are also other models explaining the universe and the interactions in it. One is "The Electric Universe Model". That model is more based on practcial engeneering from laboratory size to galactic size and less on mathematical models. In that model there is no need for black holes, dark energy and dark matter. There is no "empty space" as the universe in that model is filled with plasma or electrically chareged particles. That model has the approach that we do not know enough yet to in fact ask the right questions about our universe, but the model suggests that the universe is endless. Another model suggests that our univesres is a holographic projection of what I assume is another reality.
In LDS poetry the text says:
"...or see the grand beginning, Where space did not extend? Or view the last creation, Where Gods and matter end? Me-thinks the Spirit whispers. ´No man has found pure space, nor seen the outside curtains, where nothing has a place´. The works of God continue, And worlds and lives abound; Improvement and progression Have one eternal round. There is no end to matter; There is no end to space; There is no end to spirit; There is no end to race..." LDS Hymns no 284. "If You Could Hie to Kolob" v.2-3
Yesterday Feb.22 2017, NASA announced that they have found planets around a star not far away:
"...NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star. Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water.
The discovery sets a new record for greatest number of habitable-zone planets found around a single star outside our solar system. All of these seven planets could have liquid water – key to life as we know it – under the right atmospheric conditions, but the chances are highest with the three in the habitable zone.
“This discovery could be a significant piece in the puzzle of finding habitable environments, places that are conducive to life,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “Answering the question ‘are we alone’ is a top science priority and finding so many planets like these for the first time in the habitable zone is a remarkable step forward toward that goal....” Source: www.nasa.gov
Further Questons to look into:
Does it have more dimensions than we are used to think of?
If so, what can we understand of those dimensions?
Coud it be that we live in a multiverse with multiple dimensions?
Where do we all fit in such perspectives?
