Wie alles begann... oder doch nicht?!

Wir glauben heute, dass innerhalb eines Nano-Augenblicks des Urknalls alles aus dem Nichts entstanden ist. Die Wissenschaft geht davon aus, dass beim Urknall alles mit Atomen anfing, die eine Explosion ausgelöst haben, durch die unser Universum begann.

Diese “Urknall-Theorie” ist jedoch insofern fragwürdig, da sie als Produkt unseres linearen dreidimensionalen menschlichen Denkens bei allem immer nach dem Anfang sucht.

  • Atome verfügen über Quantenmerkmale und haben als solche keinen Anfang, denn alles was über Quantenmerkmale verfügt, hat keinen Anfang. Im Zusammenhang mit der „Urknall-Theorie“ wird diese Tatsache jedoch anscheinend ignoriert, denn obwohl die beim Urknall beteiligten Atome keinen Anfang haben, glauben die Wissenschaftler, dass das Universum einen Anfang gehabt haben muss.
  • Damit es im Rahmen der Urknall-Theorie einen Anfang geben konnte, waren nach Ansicht der heutigen Wissenschaft in dem kreativen Moment als das Universum begann alle physikalischen Gesetze aufgehoben.

Diese beiden nicht wirklich unmittelbar naheliegenden Annahmen werden heute jedoch als richtig angesehen, nur damit das einseitige menschliche Denken eine Antwort auf das Rätsel „Wie alles begann“ erhält.



Es gibt aber auch eine andere Sichtweise, wenn man mögliche höherdimensionale Zustände berücksichtigt:

Die „Rest“-Energie, die für die Wissenschaft als Beweis für den Urknall hergenommen wird, beweist lediglich, dass sich etwas verändert hat und dass es zu einer großen Verschiebung der Dimensionen gekommen ist.

Unser Universum hat es schon immer gegeben und es wird immer sein, allerdings unterliegt es in einer höherdimensionalen Realität einem Dimensionszyklus. Das Universum wächst solange, bis es sich wegen der energetischen Quantengesetze teilen muss. Dabei kommt es zu einer interdimensionalen Verschiebung, die aus 3D-Sicht wie eine Explosion (Urknall) erscheinen mag.

Wenn so etwas passiert, mutet es innerhalb des Universums an, als gestalte sich die 3D-Materie um. Das Leben, wie wir es kennen endet und erzeugt sich dann selbst von Neuem, nachdem die Materie sich langsam wieder in einem neuen dimensionalen Zustand aufbaut. Anders ausgedrückt, ein Universum spaltet sich auf und trägt ein anderes Universum in sich, was aber lediglich eine Fortsetzung des alten Universums ist, nur in höherer Form. Auf eine Weise beginnt hier tatsächlich der aktuelle Aufbau; er ist jedoch nur eine Fortführung dessen, was war.

Dahinter verbergen sich die Einflüsse „schwarzer Löcher“, die eigentlich als dimensionale „Eltern“ einer jeden Galaxie betrachtet werden können. Sie stellen eine „Druck-Zug“-Energie in einem ausgewogenen Verhältnis zur Verfügung, sodass die Galaxie zusammengehalten wird und sich als ein Gebilde bewegen kann.

Die schwarzen Löcher sind das Geheimnis der „dunklen Materie“ und der „dunklen Energie“ des Universums („Double Dark Theory“). Wegen ihnen schaut es so aus, als dehnte sich das Universum ständig weiter aus. Dabei geht es aber in einem höherdimensionalen Zustand um eine Ausdehnung der Quantenenergie, nicht um eine Größenausdehnung. Quantenenergie ist eine Art von Energie, deren Dimensionalität zunimmt, nicht deren Größe. Da wir als Menschen jedoch interdimensionale Prozesse nicht sehen können, nehmen wir innerhalb unserer 3 Raumdimensionen es so wahr, als würden die Galaxien sich mit ständig wachsender Geschwindigkeit voneinander weg bewegen.

(Das ist vergleichbar mit der Vorstellung, man wäre ein Molekül in einem Ballon, der aufgeblasen wird. Aus der Sicht des Moleküls sieht es so aus, als ziehe sich die Ballonhaut von der Mitte aus zurück und rase mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit weg. Das Molekül würde nicht wahrnehmen, dass immer mehr unsichtbare Luft in den Ballon gepumpt wird.)

Im multidimensionalen Zustand jedoch bleiben die Galaxien gleich, aber es wird ständig Energie erzeugt, die als interdimensionale Kraft für den Menschen „unsichtbar“ ist und in 3D Materie von sich selbst wegdrückt. Die Wissenschaft beginnt gerade erst sich eine Vorstellung von dieser „dunklen Energie“ zu machen. Wir wissen zwar bereits, dass es riesige Mengen davon gibt, aber wir wissen noch nicht genau, was dunkle Energie eigentlich ist.


Wenn die derzeit noch präsente menschliche Voreingenommenheit aufhören würde, über die logische Wissenschaft zu triumphieren, dann wäre es vorstellbar, dass nicht alles wie von Zauberhand während des Urknalls aus dem Nichts durch eine Explosion entstand, die nicht erklärbar und deren Atomstruktur ein großes Mysterium ist.

Fields

Fields are non-material regions of influence.

The Earth's gravitational field, for example, is all around us.We cannot see it - it is mot a material object - but is nevertheless real. According to Einstein, it is not in space and time: it is space-time.

Electromagnetic fields integrate all material systems, from atoms to galexies. We can see things around us, because we are connected to them through the electromagnetic field, in which the vibratory energy of light is travelling. Vibrating electromagnetic fields underlie the functioning of our brains and bodies, our cells and ourolecules.
All around us are countless vibratory patterns of activity within the electromagnetic field we cannot detect with our senses. We can tune into some of them through radio and TV receivers and mobile phones.

Objects affect each other through fields even when they are not in material contact. These fields exist, even if we cannot detect them with our senses.

It is therefore clearly possible that there are many more fields than those currently recognized by physics.

(from Rupert Sheldrake: The present of the past)

Philosophy of Organism / Systems Approach

The philosophy of organism is also called holistic or organismic philosophy, or 'Sytems approach'.

According to philosopher Alfred North Whitehead in 1925, organisms are 'structures of activity' at all levels of complexity. Even subatomic particles, atoms, molecules and crystals are organisms and hence in some sense alive.

From the organismic point of view, life is not something that has emerged from dead matter. All nature is alive. The organising principles of living organisms are different in degree but not different in kind from the organizing principles of molecules or of societies or of galaxies.

Whitehead put it as: "Biology is the study of the larger organisms, wheras phsics is the study of the smaller organisms." And in the light of new cosmology, physics is also the  study of the all-embracing cosmic organism, and of the galactic, stellar and planetary organisms that have come into being within it.

Think, for example of a termite colony:
A termite colony is an organism,
which is made of individual insects,
which are made up of organs,
which are made up of tissues,
which are made up of cells,
which are made up of subcellar systems,
which are made up of molecules,
which are made up of atoms,
which are made up of electrons and nuclei,
which are made up of nuclear particles.

At each level are organized wholes, which are made up of parts that are themselves organized wholes. And at each level, the whole is more than the sum of its patrs; it has an irreducible integrity.

In an evolutionary universe, the organising principles of all systems at all levels of complexity must have evolved. The organizing principles of gold atoms, for example, or of bacterial cells, or of flocks of geese, have all come into being in time. None of them was there in the first place, at the time of the Big Bang.

But were all these organizing principles already present as transcendent Platonic archetypes (ideas) waiting for their moment to first manifest in the physical universe? Or are these organizing principles more like habits that have evolved in time?!

The Mystery of Water


Approx 90% of our human bodies are water. Looking at the scientifc findings of Dr Masaru Emoto about what effects the molecular structure of water will clearly make you wonder. If thoughts can do that to water, imagine what our thoughts could do to us and the world in which we live.

Philanthropy - the love of humanity

Philanthropy etymologically means "the love of humanity" — love in the sense of caring for, nourishing, developing, or enhancing and humanity in the sense of "what it is to be human," or "human potential."
In modern practical terms:
  • Business - private initiatives for private good, focusing on material prosperity
  • Government - public initiatives for public good, focusing on law and order
  • Philanthropy - private initiatives for public good, focusing on quality of life
Philanthropy is balancing the social-scientific aspect emphasized in the twentieth century, with the long-traditional and original humanist core of the word's ancient coinage.

The brain - cause and cure of suffering

All animals, including us, have evolved three strategies to help pass on their genes. The animal tries to:

  • Separate what is actually connected, in order to create a boundary between itself and the world

  • Stabilize what keeps changing, in order to maintain it's internal systems within tight ranges

  • Hold onto fleeting (flüchtige) pleasures and escape inevitable pains, in order to approach opportunities and avoid threats


  • For sheer survival, these strategies work great. Whenever a strategy runs into trouble, uncomfortable (sometimes even agonizing) alarm signals pulse through the nervous system to set the animal back on track.

    Whilst trouble comes all the time, most animals don't have nervous systems complex enough to allow these strategies' alarms to grow into significant distress. But our vastly more developed brain is fertile ground for a harvest of suffering.

    Only we humans worry about the future, regret the past, and blame ourself for the present. We get frustrated when we can't have what we want, and disappointed when what we like ends. We suffer that we suffer. We get upset about being in pain, angry about dying, sad about waking up sad yet another day.

    This kind of suffering - which encompasses most of our unhappiness and dissatisfaction - is constructed by the brain. It is made up. This is ironic, poignant (schmerzlich) - and supremely hopeful, for if the brain is the cause of suffering, it can also be its cure.

    (from Rick Hanson: Buddha's Brain)

    Greatest remaining scientific questions today

    It's sometimes said that the greatest remaining scientific questions today are:

    1. What caused the Big Bang?

    2. What is the grand unified theory (GUT) that integrates quantum mechanics and general relativity?

    3. What is the relationship between the mind and the brain, especially regarding consciousness experience?

    The last question is up there with the first two because it is as difficult to answer, and as important.

    It can still take many years before we completely understand the relationship between the brain and the mind, but meanwhile a reasonable working hypothesis is that the mind is what the brain does.

    (from Rick Hanson: Buddha's Brain)

    The Big Bang wasn't the beginning

    In this very entertaining but clearly scientifically profound speach, Sean Carroll confronts us with a new scenario regarding the origin of our Universe: The Big Bang wasn't the beginning.



    "An unbroken egg is a low-entropy configuration, exactly like our universe at the Big Bang, and yet when we open our refrigerator we are not surprised to find this low-entropy configuration. That's because an egg is not a closed system: It comes out of a chicken. - Maybe the Universe comes out of an universal chicken?!"

    Why started our universe in an extremely low-entropy state?

    All of the macroscopic manifestations of the arrow of time - our ability to turn eggs into omelets but not vice versa, the tendency of milk to mix into coffee but never spontaneously unmix, the fact that we can remember the past but not the future - can be traced to the tendency of entropy to increase, in accordance with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

    In the 1870's, Boltzmann explained the microscopic underpinnings of the Second Law: Entropy counts the number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate, so if we start (for whatever reason) in a relatively low-entropy state, it's overwhelmingly likely that the entropy will increase toward the future.

    However, due to the fundamental reversibility of the laws of physics, if the only thing we have to go on is the fact that the current state is low entropy, we would with equal legitimacy expect the entropy to have been larger in the past. But the real world doesn't seem to work that way, so we need something else to go on. That something else is the Past Hypothesis: the assumption that the very early universe found itself in an extremely low-entropy state, and we are currently witnessing its relaxation to a state of high entropy.

    The question of why the Past Hypothesis is true belongs to the realm of cosmology. The anthropic principle is woefully inadequate for the task, since we could easily find ourselves constituted as random fluctuations (Boltzmann brains) in an otherwise empty de Sitter space. Likewise, inflation by itself doesn't address the question, as it requires an even lower-entropy starting point than the conventional Big Bang cosmology.

    The way out is, that we can accept the Big Bang had a low entropy, but deny that the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe. The idea that the Big Bang is truly the beginning of the universe is simply a plausible hypothesis, not a result established by reasonable doubt. General relativity doesn't predict that space and time didn't exist before the Big Bang; it predicts that the curvature of spacetime in the very early universe became so large that general relativity itself ceases to be reliable. Therefore quantum gravity absolutely must be taken into account.

    In quantum field theory it is natural to assume that de Sitter space itself should be fluctuating. The entropy associated with de Sitter space is (a) low when the energy density is high and (b) high when the energy density is low. (Therefore the decay of a high-energy de Sitter space into a state with lower vacuum energy is just the natural evolution of a low-entropy state into a high-entropy one.) When the de Sitter space starts at the bottom, where vacuum energy is very small, quantum fluctuations will occasionally push the field up the potential, from the true vacuum to the false vacuum - not everywhere at once, but in some small region of space.

    What happens when a bubble of false vacuum fluctuates into existence in de Sitter space? Inside the bubble, where we've fluctuated into the false vacuum, space wants to expand; but the wall separating the inside from the outside of the bubble wants to shrink, and usually it shrinks away quickly before anything dramatic happens. Therefore, most of the time, the bubble will disappear again as the field will simply dissipate away back into its thermal surroundings.

    However, every once in a while we could get lucky: We could find a fluctuation in a low-vacuum energy de Sitter space (creating a bubble of false vacuum, with the space inside wanting to expand), and simultaneously a fluctuation of space ifself (causing the wall separating the inside from the outside of the bubble to have a weaker tendency to shrink), creating a region that pinches off from the rest of the universe.

    The tiny throat that initially still connects the two is a wormhole, which is unstable and will quickly collapse into nothing, leaving two disconnect spacetimes, the original parent universe and the tiny baby.

    So, in quantum field theory, spacetime can not only bend or stretch (as in ordinary classical general relativity), but also split into multiple pieces. In particular, a tiny bit of space could branch off from a larger universe and go its own way. The separate bit of space is, naturally, known as a baby universe.

    2009 Terry Lectures - The New Universe and a Cosmic Society

    In the year 2009, Joel R. Primack and Nancy Ellen Abrams held a series of Lectures at Yale University, which are a must to see if you would want to understand how the latest scientific insight into cosmology can help forming a universal consciousness capable of addressing the pressing issues our global society faces today. 

    Please note that each of those lectures takes approx 1 hour, but rest assured that they are worth every second of your attention:

    Pressing Problems - Carbon Dioxide

    We live in the middle of the best period for life on Earth, but we have pressing problems to deal with.

    The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been essentially constant for the last 2000 years. In fact it has not gone above 300 ppm (parts per million) for at least the last 800.000 years.

    But in the industrial revolution our ancestors started to burn fossil fuels. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been doubling every 30 years since the year 1800.

    The graph of the human contribution of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is now shooting up almost vertically.
    (Picture of Concentration of Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere from new-universe.org)

    The last thousands of years humans had almost no impact on the global scale, but we now starting to have an enormous impact. If we continue at the present rate, the amount of carbon-dioxide will increaee by a factor of 8 in this century. The consequences for climate will be catastrophic. We have to stop these exponential increases in our impact in the environment very quickly.

    The reason why the societies around the world seem to be unable to deal with these long-term problems may be, that they can't grasp the immense lenght of time that our present actions will affect.

    We live in the middle of the best period for life on Earth

    Our technologies have gotten way ahead of our ability to control or even understand their effects, largely because we don't know how to look far enough ahead. This is why our society has not grasped the seriousness of disrupting the global climate or causing mass extinctions.

    We need to understand, how our special moment of human existence fits into the larger scales of cosmic time. We live in the middle of the best period for life on Earth!

    That period began about half a billion years ago, when - thanks to micro-organisms - the earth acquired the oxygen-rich atmosphere that we all breath today. That's when all the large creatures started to evolve.

    It will end in about half a billion years, when the increasing heat of the sun evaporates all the water which will ultimately be lost.

    We are made of the rarest material in the universe

    The vast majority of all visible matter is Hydrogen and Helium, those two elements which came right out of the Big Bang and from which the stars are made of.

    Only at the death of stars all the other atoms of the table of the periodic system get created and blown out into the universe as stardust. Intelligent beings - which contain these rare materials (e.g. carbon) - can only be made of stardust!

    All visible things in the universe, the stars, the planets, the dust and all the galxies, together total less than 0,5% of what's actually out there.

    We have now a new theory of the universe, according to which allmost everything in the universe is made of two invisible things: Dark Matter and Dark Energy.


    (Picture of Cosmic Density Pyramid from new-universe.org)

    We are made out of stardust, but stardust wouldn't exist without dark matter. The gravity of the dark matter pull ordinary matter into the centres of the forming galaxies and there the ordinary matter forms stars, and stardust and planets and ultimately us.

    Look at this fascinating fly-through of the Bolshoi-Simulation produced by the biggest NASA computer. This highly accurate computer simulation represents the density of dark matter in our observable universe.

    Our bodies are at the midpoint of all possible sizes

    There is a smallest and a largest size in our universe.

    The smallest size allowed by physics is the Planck Length (10-33 centimeters), at which quantum gravity is supposed to become important and the largest size is simply the diameter of the universe.

    That spectrum of sizes therefore spans...
    • size of the cosmic horizon
    • size of a supercluster of galaxies
    • size of a galaxy
    • size of the distance to Orion Nebular
    • size of the solar system
    • size of the earth
    • size of a mountain
    • size of a human
    • size of an ant
    • size of a bacterium
    • size of a DNA
    • size of an atom
    • size of a nucleus of an atom

    and even smaller...
    • the weak interactions
    • the massive dark matter
    • the grand unified theory (GUT)
    • the Planck Length
    (Picture of Cosmic Uroboros from new-universe.org)

     
    Among those sizes, our position as human beings is central. If we would be much smaller, we woundn't have enough atoms to make up our complex consciousness. If we would be much bigger, the speed of light would inhibit communications. It is exactly the central size that can produce a brain.

    Changing the World through a shared Cosmology

    There is a profound connection between the enornous global problems we are facing today and the fact that most people have no accurate understanding on the full big picture.

    We simply don't know how we fit into the Universe. We don't get what the scientific cosmic discoveries mean for us, in our lives, on an emotional level. But we need to understand this big picture, because otherwise this disconnect is ever going to be more severe.

    The biggest problem facing us today is not how to save the world. We know technologically much of what needs to be done and a lot that could be done today.

    The biggest question facing us today is, what can possibly motivate people to change enough, fast enough, to do enough.

    Have a look at that amazingly insightful speach of Joel R Primack from the University of California in Santa Cruz and his wife Nancy Ellen Abrams, which should allow you to see that you and all of us fit into the newly emerging scientific picture of the universe in an astonishing way.


    In the new picture of the universe, we humans are central or special in surprising ways:
    • Our bodies are at the midpoint of all possible sizes.
    • We are made of the rarest material in the universe.
    • We live in the middle of the best period for life on Earth.
    If we would start to think and act from this new perspective, we could solve the worst global problems.

    Galaxies result from quantum fluctuations

    It's breathtaking to look into the sky at the distribution of galaxies through space, and imagine that they originated in quantum fluctuations when the universe was a fraction of a second old (before inflation caused by super-dark energy took that tiny region of space and blew it up to an enormous size).

    Various distinct vacua

    To a physicist, a "vacuum" does not mean "empty space". It simply means "the lowest energy-state of a theory". Looking at the potential energy curve for some field, the bottom of every valley defines a distinct vacuum state.

    Potential Energy of a Quantum Field

    The energy associated with a field can arise in different ways.

    Usually energy of a field comes about because the field is changing from point to point in spacetime (there is energy in the stretching associated with the changing field values, much like there is energy in the twists or vibrations of a sheet of rubber).

    But in addition to that, fields can carry energy just by sitting there with some fixed value. That kind of energy, associated with the value of the field itself (rather than the changes in the field from place to place or time to time), is known as "potential energy".


    Vibrations in quantum fields give rise to particles. If a field is constant everywhere, so there are no vibrations, you don't see any particles.

    The background value of a field - the average value it takes when we imagine smoothing out all the vibrations - is not directly observable. Nevertheless, it can be indirectly observable, as this "potential energy" can affect the curvature of spacetime.

    Potential energy can be converted into other sorts of energy.
