Christians and Cosmology

God the Father is greater than imaginable. Greater than all the worlds possible, of all possible model universes imaginable, a whole greater than the some of parts that appear in the temporal Universe. The Son is the Word of God. Apparently one may use the names interchangeably. Maybe it is helpful to think of him as the CEO of God-while of the Father God regard Him as the owner of the corporation. That leaves me wondering about the Holy Spirit; one may know what idea one has of the Holy Spirit yet find nothing to say to compare it to.

Maybe it is like a a sentient operating system in a computer that modifies and rewrites the programming code in which human beings cohere. The Holy Spirit is the primary field agent of God configuring things such as they need to be. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are one however. So am I embedded in a Higgs field as a state of quantum entanglement shaped with field forces to satisfy a pre-determined cosmology of the system where even evolution seems to have a role accomplishing the will of God for a particular order to develop. The physics of the Universe drive all variations selected to conform with inevitable states of being of an existential Universe.

Where elements of pre-determinism start and finish in the Universe are difficult to determine. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is a descriptive rather than an implicit waveform collapse selector. So many have pointed out the natural selector of a wave collapse experiences a phenomenal dust up of actualization that adds some sort of information and energy to an observed system. Appearances of energy and mass with their uncertain protocol boundaries and content apparently unbound except within deterministic quantum relationships make me wonder about Universal management and its potential for phase changes.

If one has evolution theory one also ought to have quantum theory and the philosophy of modal universes and the transcendence of purpose inherent in temporal space-time to liven up discussion from the limited range intellectual tools concerning biology to one cognizant of determinism in natural selection and a meta-structural conformal logic of physics regarding meta-criteria for natural selection. God may have an infinity of modal universe potentials, yet must they all be assembled in one temporal order in respect of His eternal now in relation to contingent space-time? Does God not abnegate space as well as time for-himself-in eternity?

Space and time in the temporal manifestation cohere in one expanding or traveling multi-dimensional Universe field. The formation era before a big bang and inflation phase of energy ought have a limit to the number of its potential configurations arising in coalescence from virtual energy. There should be a very large but infinite number of possible formations of contingent Universes that could appear as well. There is a very large yet finite number of possible configurations of pieces on a chess board, because there is a finite number of pieces and positions in configuration and phase space. God may choose to reshape a pre-singularity field to be or become more or different than what it might be in its range of freedom states of emergence from virtual energy space, yet none other.

Natural selections that occur as an implicit features of inertial assembly follow initial boundary conditions of the Universe delimiting possibilities of the subsequent space-time contingent field. A process evolution of complexity eliminates possibilities of alternate courses of development reciprocally. I believe it is thought that transcends physical boundaries best to create new possibilities, and it is spirit that surpasses the physical actualizations of the physical best and foremost.

While some physical theorists deny theistic creation with the indirect explanation that the Anthropic Principle and the fine-tuned universe is a chance selection of infinite Universe potentials and one of those that can work; as only those that can work and are suitable for human life do, it is also the case that predetermined forms for life exist in that fine-tuned Universe that are not at all matters of random chance. If one placed a one dollar bet at Las Vegas and won a million dollars the only time in one's life that one gambled, the jackpot is predetermined still as all that could exist within the boundary conditions. I would think that principle would apply to planetary life within any sort of galactic energy-mass charge configuration, and regardless of the manner in which God set the Universe to be and become with an operating system that moves along with reasonably known physical laws and orders of development.

What does modern cosmology tell us of the Universe? It is apparently about 13.8 billion years old. Cosmic microwave background observations from special telescopes can view microwave radiation that existed when the Universe was 400,000 years old. At that time the Universe had cooled enough from its very high temperature hotter than the sun wherein it had been producing helium and deuterium from hydrogen fusion. The ancient microwave signals are the cooled down remnant of the initial vary high plasma temperatures. The background microwave radiation of the Universe today a a little more than 3 degrees kelvin is the remnant. The density of matter in the space-time is exceedingly tiny. And space-time is expanding.

The Universe can be thought of a nearly 14 billion years old fr several physically theoretical and observationally confirmed reasons. One is that with the speed of light and light-waves shift to the red when moving away, and blue when approaching, it is possible to determined how far away known supernovas are in space and time. When astronomers observe stars with great red-shifts of billions of light years it means that what they see is how the stars appeared billions of years ago before their photons began their journey toward Earth. Along with calculations from the General Theory of Relativity is is possible to calculate the amount of time and scale of the past cosmology and age of the Universe.

It is not a conclusive and exhaustive determination of the age of the Universe and of its mass and energy though. Even though cosmological evolution along the general lines of the General theory of relativity and of Friedman-Gamow's Big Bang model generally appears true, though with several modifications, the philosophical, theological and physical interpretations of the data may be taken in numerous ways.

In a sense the Big Bang theory is like an island alone in an ocean that is true enough yet surrounded by a number of below the surface ideas that pertain to the complete theoretical structure emanated or willed by God to exist. Even so it is fascinating to consider the many elements of physical cosmology.

No one really knows what space-time is. Space-time are united in one field in modern physics rather than treated separately. If one goes near the speed of light one experiences low passage of time compared to one that is stationary, yet one near light speed picks up nearly infinite mass as if traveling through space-time near the speed of massless particles makes mass infinitely heavy. maybe space-time itself give particles their mass, and perhaps space-time has a close associate with the Higgs field as well as all particles.

Space-time in general relativity might be regarded as a vast rubber sheet equally supported at all points. At time=0 it was of very smile size,a little larger than a singular. in the expansion of the Universe it stretched out at various speeds in 2 dimensions (an analogy here for simple illustration purposes). During the inflationary area it increased its size greatly at faster than light speed (there was no mass then, only energy). The rubber sheet Universe is made of energy and yet is also space and time.

Imagine an extra-dimensional super-player in a metaphorical history of space-time that is the Universe who can stretch the space-time sheet wherever he puts his foot down-lie at a black hole. This fifth dimensional guy is named Gravity. No one really knows who or what gravity is; he just influences the topology shape of the 4-dimensional sheet of space-time. With little imbalances in the equal distribution of energy in the beginning (I might more about that latter), the haves attract more and sycophants move toward the haves. In the era after 400,000 when atoms had begun to form and would snowball latter, the clustering of mass and energy was determined. Clusters of mass pressed down on the rubber sheet that was expanding simultaneously producing little valleys here and there attracting more mass to form larger clusters. Those clusters eventually became stars and galaxies as the sheet expanded becoming millions and billions of light years in size.

Where the sheet is stretch much space-time stretches obviously. traveling across the sheet one would experience the passage of time differently in different shaped topological regions of the sheet. The rate of passage would also affect the experience of time and experience of mass.

One might imagine gravity as walking on the surface of the sheet producing this or that depression or bounce as his mass moves. Mass, unlike Mr. Gravity, has no intellect or will to move itself and exploit a bounce on space-time.

Maybe a better way to consider gravity in regard to space-time is that it is an extra dimension-a fifth dimension to which mass in four dimensions is attracted. The more mass is aggregated the greater is the shape of space-time bent toward the hidden extra dimension. Perhaps the 5th dimension pins our four dimensions to it through the short-circuit or macro-quantum tunneling of gravity.

The expansion of space-time has been observed and interpreted theoretically to be increasing. The Universe is moving apart faster-than-light is some regions. That can be easy to understand. It does not need to violate Einstein's special theory where nothing can travel faster than light.

If one has a yardstick and inserts a new inch unit into it at every other inch, and repeats the procedure long enough-with the new inches coming from an extra dimension or some sort of process where by concentrating mass frees up new space to be inserted into space as new inch units-eventually the yardstick may be a light year across and doubling exponentially in size. Easily once can see that the opposite ends of the yardstick or stretch sheet would travel apart faster than light though nothing on the sheet itself would be traveling anywhere near light speed.

Considering space-time expanding as a kind of unit itself does lead one to regard the true void as something in which space-time exists and expands. In the beginning the Universe was void and without form. Space-time is an event that in four dimensions expands in the void. Empty space is itself a field-perhaps a virtual field comparable to a Higgs field, that exists with relativistic values, to serve the will of God.

The Universe may be 52 billion light years across today, yet the age of the Universe does not delimit its possible size-it may have arisen from membranes or dimension sheets rather than a singularity, and beyond the realm of the observable universe of space-time today that growth 13.7 or 8 billion years ago may have been infinitely vast.

There are different kinds of infinites...some are greater than others. There are more numbers in the infinite series of natural numbers than there are in the infinite series of even numbers. Plainly the definition of infinite series are gerontological reductions from a unitary, monistic infinite source of all contingent infinities. I believe that source is God who wills all things to exist that are inclusive of dimensions and forms of mass and energy in any configuration in or phase space. The apparent relative configurations, mass form, time and space that anyone with sentience could experience are all given with the will of God, inclusive of any sentient mind, for a specific purpose.

While mankind and manufactured instruments improve new data acquisition methods about structures and content, input from observations reinforces scientific theoretical constructive interpretation of data.

Inflation theory is one way of thinking about the Big Bang or expansion of the Universe from a small space. Inflation theory begins with expansive gravity. Gravity logically has a negative and positive side like most forces of energy. Negative gravity is attractive. It draws mass together. Positive pressure or a positive phase of gravity repels energy or expands space. It may be that the positive phase of energy affects just energy, and could be a kind of repulsion of some form of energy.

Inflation theory of the Universe presents the idea that a subatomic region experienced expansive energy with positive pressure that double in size exponentially for a fraction of a second in the case of this particular universe. A quantum instability acted like a word spoken to begin. As energy was expanding space some of it converted into mass or at least a less energetic configuration of energy. It kept doubling its size every fraction of a second. That was an exponential rate of growth. At the end of 10 to the minus 35 seconds inflation stopped and the Universe was the size of a grapefruit. It continued expanding at sub-light speed after that, whereas during inflation the doubling in size occurred over its diametric opposite ends faster than light. If one were to add together two radii that each expand at light speed in opposite directions the combined speed is 2c or light speed squared. When the volume of the Universe doubled it also doubled the running total of light velocities added together so far.

While the hyper-inflation of the Universe might have gone on, and may still be continuing forever, in some regions it stopped. Theorists have considered a multi-verse of continuing inflationary areas with whirlpools of non-inflating spaces that are Universes within the infinite tree of inflation.

Structures that may theoretically exist such as inflationary Multi-verses that account for the presence of energy and mass in various configurations with variable space and time regions are ways of generating reasonable explanations for observable real structures. Space time really seems to be accelerating its expansion, gravity really seems to increase and diminish strength at the square of its distance. Cosmological data and theoretical explanations are made phenomenally by existing sentient minds experiencing their life within the energy field that is the foundation for all possible multi-verse configurations in space-time.

There are good books such as Tegmark's 'The Mathematical Universe' that go over inflation and multi-verse theory in detail enough for general readers. It is interesting that dark energy is believed to be slowly creating an inflationary space doubling every 8 billion years. It is apparently possible because of relativity to have spatial regions and universes within larger spatial regions. No one is certain of what the primordial positive and negative phases of energy called gravity are or how energy exists at all. The word to begin for scientists generally would be associated with quantum fluctuations that stimulated symmetry breaking positive inflationary pressure. The theories are beautiful, yet not in conflict with the very basic information of Genesis that would neither confirm or deny most theoretical configuration or phase space model structures for energy and mass. Christians do not believe that God is less than omnipotent. Funding the existence of one or an infinity of Universes and inflationary spaces with energy in an infinity of channels or fields is another day's work for God if he wills it to be so.
