Universe to end with 'Big Rip'

Image
At a public talk at the Australian Astronomical Observatory in Sydney in July, Nobel Laureate Professor Brian Schmidt described how our universe is rapidly expanding. Professor Schmidt said only 4.5 per cent of the universe is made up of things we can see while the rest is invisible. Dark matter makes up 24 per cent and dark energy the remaining 72 per cent. Once this dark energy takes over, it will cause more space to expand, creating more dark energy, "which can then push harder against gravity, creating even more space". "The creation of space eventually can happen even more quickly than light can travel." This could lead to one of the "craziest theoretical ideas" and one of Professor Schmidt's favourites - the Big Rip. The professor said “This “ Big Rip ” might be the way our universe ends and it may happen on literally a human time scale" in other words Professor Schmidt is supporting concepts that I have already published in b

In books blogs and video clips I have discussed how in a universe where all time exists at once dark matter and dark energy are a natural outcome of the structure. My 1989 book (now out on Kindle) first proposed the structure of the universe in which all time can occur in a single instant. In 2006 an updated version of the theory explained how this concept explains both dark matter and dark energy.   Several others have published ideas that follow my own reasoning; John Moffat, an astronomer at the University of Waterloo in Canada, and Joel Brownstein, his graduate student, said in a study detailed in the Nov. 21 2007 issue of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, that Modified Gravity (MOG) theory can explain the appearance of dark matter. Dodelson (Scott) and Liguori (Michele) in “Can Cosmic Structure Form without Dark Matter?”, Physical Review Letters 97, 231301 (2006) also conjectured that gravity variations can account for observed phenomena and that da

Scientists support my theories

Leslie Morrison and Richard Stephenson in October 1998 wrote in Astronomy & Geophysics Vol. 39 “The Sands of Time and the Earth’s Rotation” and Stephenson wrote in Astronomy & Geophysics Vol. 44 April 2003, “Historical eclipses and Earth’s rotation”. Their analysis of the length of the day from ancient eclipse records discovered that in addition to the tidal contribution there is a long-term component acting to decrease the length of the day, which equals:   △ T/day/cy = −6 x 10 −4 sec/day/cy. This component is consistent with recent measurements made by survey satellites, and may result from the decrease of the Earth’s oblateness following the last ice age. Although this explanation might be correct, and it is difficult to separate the various components of the Earth’s rotation, it is remarkable that this value of △ T/day/cy is equal to H * if H = 67km.sec −1 /Mpc. The discovery indicates that there is a connection between time variation on Earth and the univer

Islam is a Cult

The title of this blog may seem provocative but unfortunately based on accurate definitions it is the only conclusion we can reach. We should begin by examining the definition of a cult. cult [kult] ( plural cults ) noun 1. religion: a system of religious or spiritual beliefs, especially an informal and transient belief system regarded by others as misguided, unorthodox, extremist , or false, and directed by a charismatic, authoritarian leader 2. religious group: a group of people who share religious or spiritual beliefs, especially beliefs regarded by others as misguided, unorthodox, extremist , or false Microsoft® Encarta® 2006. © 1993-2005 Microsoft Corporation.

Scientology ostracises those who leave but Islam beheads them, the Exclusive Brethren close their gates to outsiders but passengers on a Muslim a

Parables and the fate of our Society

It is an interesting Bible concept that each story is in fact a parable; each story has its own message. Even from the start, it says that the world was created in six days, but how did they measure the days when the creation of the sun and moon did not happen until the fourth day? That is surprisingly similar to the scientific view that the Earth has only existed for one third of the life of the universe; but the intent of the story is not obvious. Adam and Eve is obviously a parable about disobeying the word of the Almighty and the story of Cain and Abel shows where covetousness leads. A later story which is ignored by many is the story of Jacob and Esau. The Almighty had promised Abraham and Isaac that their descendents would be a great multitude and would possess the land. Jacob was the younger, very industrious and desired this birthright, his older brother Esau was blasé about it and cared little. When Esau came in from hunting and feeling hungry he asked his younger brother

The Doomed Earth

A multitude of predictions claim that the world will end in 2012, and many of these such as Nostradamus and the Mayan Calendar indicate December as the month in which we all meet our fate. My YouTube video explains that we are not all doomed. The bad news is that we do not have until December; in fact we have only about four months from the date of this article. I have already written books and blogs describing many of the events that will herald the end of our world; war, weather, volcanic eruptions, super nova and other astronomical events; culminating in the wiping out of evil from the face of the Earth. This blog is as much about why as it is about what or when. The Bible consists of almost one third prophecies and a large number of these have been demonstrated to have been accurate. The predicted fate of many ancient civilisations can be read in the Bible and confirmed by history books, only those who have not studied the Bible or history would deny this fact. Many people are con

The Fate of the Earth

There are many scenarios being presented that propose ways in which all life on Earth could be wiped out. Nuclear war, super-volcanoes and the old favourite a giant asteroid collision are all discussed, but one serious threat is never even considered. That threat is the breakdown of the balanced relationship of the Earth and Moon that ensures our continued survival. The moon is tethered to the Earth by an invisible bond of gravity that has many properties of which most people are unaware. We all know that it creates the tides but this connection is such that it anchors the moon so that the same face is always pointed Earthward. Because of the Earth’s greater mass its rotation has the effect of continually accelerating the moon in its orbit and causing it to slowly increase its distance from the Earth. The centre of gravity of the Earth/Moon system is actually about a thousand kilometres beneath the surface of the Earth and it creates many of the conditions necessary for life. As the Ea

2012 ready or not!

Welcome to 2012 the date mentioned in many prophecies. It is impossible not to realise that something is happening the probability of financial collapse, war, riots and civil unrest is extremely high. Hollywood released a disaster movie titled “2012”, which ignored the real predictions for this time. Those who have pay TV may have seen the History Channel present documentaries titled “The Lost Book of Nostradamus” and “Nostradamus 2012” as well as several shows about “Mayan Doomsday Prophecies” and similar themes. The producers of all these shows seem to have ignored the source of the most important predictions for 2012; the Bible. Bible scholars have known for many years that there are events occurring around the world that seem to be directly related to Biblical Prophecy; the prophets Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah and Jeremiah all describe the “end times” and the New Testament Gospel includes prophecies made by Jesus Christ. Most of these are vague as to the actual dates and concentr
