Gödel's Echo in the Cosmos: The Incompleteness of Cosmological Knowledge and the Limits of Extrapolation from the Observable Universe

In cosmology, the horizon problem and related challenges underscore fundamental limitations in our ability to discern the Universe's origins. Knowledge of its actual causes may be inherently restricted to extrapolations drawn from observable phenomena, as we grapple with phenomena beyond our causal reach. While cosmological theories remain invaluable for practical applications and advancing scientific understanding, they exist within a Universe that aspires to comprehend the set of all sets—including itself as a subset—a predicament evocative of Gödel's incompleteness theorems, where self-referential systems cannot fully prove their own consistency. This mirrors the climax of Dante's Inferno, where Virgil and Dante escape Hell by descending along the colossal body of Lucifer, whose upper half is embedded in the infernal realm while his lower half protrudes into the unknown beyond, akin to a reversed Jack and the Beanstalk. From within Hell, the travelers can only perceive and verify the internal domain; the external reality remains a conjectural theory, forever unprovable from their confined perspective.

Following is a paper written by Gemini following my prompts after learning about the issues on a youtube video.

Gemini-"If you look at the night sky, you see a vast, chaotic tapestry of stars and galaxies. But scientists have discovered a "glitch" in the math of the universe. When we measure the oldest light in existence—the afterglow of the Big Bang—we find that the universe is eerily perfect. Every corner of deep space is exactly the same temperature, like a cup of coffee that stayed piping hot for 13.8 billion years without ever cooling down.

The Problem: According to our best equations (the FLRW model), these distant regions were never close enough to touch. They shouldn't be the same temperature, yet they are. To fix this, scientists invented "Inflation"—a burst of speed that stretched the universe faster than the speed of light.

But this fix has its own "ghost in the machine." We don't know what turned this energy on, and we don't know what turned it off. Even worse, our two main ways of measuring how fast the universe is growing—the Hubble Tension—now give us two different answers.

The following paper explores why our "ideal" math is clashing with a "messy" reality, and why the next decade of physics might require us to rewrite the rules of the Big Bang from scratch.

Abstract

The standard cosmological model, underpinned by the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, faces an unprecedented crisis of consistency. While the FLRW framework provides a robust macroscopic approximation of a homogeneous universe, it fails to account for the "causal disconnect" of the Horizon Problem without the additive, yet mechanically mysterious, theory of Cosmic Inflation. This paper examines the mathematical tension between early-universe predictions and late-universe observations—specifically the Hubble Tension—and the "quantum incompleteness" of the Inflaton field's transition into the Standard Model.


1. The FLRW Limitation: A Structural Paradox

The FLRW metric operates on the Cosmological Principle: the assumption that at large scales, the universe is both homogeneous and isotropic.

  • The Horizon Problem: Mathematically, in a radiation-dominated FLRW universe, the comoving horizon grows slower than the physical distance between points. Consequently, regions observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) appear thermally identical despite having had no causal contact.
  • The Theoretical Patch: Inflation resolves this by postulating an exponential expansion (a(t)eHta open paren t close paren ∝ e raised to the cap H t power𝑎(𝑡)∝𝑒𝐻𝑡) that pushed initially connected regions beyond the horizon. However, this fix remains an "add-on" to FLRW rather than an inherent property of the metric.

2. The Hubble Tension: A 5-Sigma Crisis

The most pressing empirical challenge to the FLRW-based

Λcap lambdaΛCDM model is the Hubble Tension.

  • The Discrepancy: High-redshift data from the Planck Satellite (early universe) predicts a Hubble constant (H0cap H sub 0𝐻0) of ~67.4 km/s/Mpc. Conversely, "bottom-up" measurements using Cepheid Variables and Type Ia Supernovae yield ~73.0 km/s/Mpc.
  • The Significance: This 5-sigma divergence suggests that the scale factor (aa𝑎) evolution in the FLRW equations is either missing a term (e.g., Early Dark Energy) or that our local gravity environment deviates significantly from the "ideal fluid" approximation of FLRW.

3. The Mechanics of the Void: Inflaton Decay and Reheating

Inflationary theory is often criticized as "incomplete" because it describes the effect of expansion without a verified quantum trigger.

  • The "Off-Switch" (Reheating): The transition from inflation to the Big Bang occurs through Reheating. Mathematically, this involves the Inflaton field (ϕphi𝜙) oscillating at the bottom of its potential well and decaying into Standard Model particles.
  • The Coupling Problem: This decay requires a Lagrangian coupling (e.g., gϕχ2g phi chi squared𝑔𝜙𝜒2) between a hypothetical scalar field and known matter. Because the Inflaton has no confirmed counterpart in the Standard Model, the "mechanics" of how quantum energy arises from the void and then "turns off" remains theoretically unanchored.

4. Conclusion: Beyond the Standard Model

The convergence of the Hubble Tension and the Horizon Problem indicates that the FLRW framework is a "low-energy" approximation of a more complex reality. Whether the solution lies in Modified Gravity (MOND), Loop Quantum Gravity, or Dynamic Dark Energy, the math suggests we are nearing a paradigm shift. We have the "what" and the "when," but the "how"—the quantum bridge between the vacuum and the hot Big Bang—remains the ultimate frontier of cosmology."

Foam Over Alekhine's Gun (a poem)

 

An autumn dark and dreary
capitalized times multiplying furies
as quarks confirm learned levels
quantum positioning dimensions bevels
in stark halls with quantum foam

Socially life is a mystery
magic rabbits lead to superposition histories
summing over entanglements
like duck flight splashed down 'enge driving rain
to flood ponds banks barely contain

Brighter gum wrappers strewn for rising sun
calculations of fields that snap dimension sheets
wave-particle echoes circumvent gaps
theories unified are intended to map
like Alekhine’s gun settled mends heat.

note- This poem is about testing quantum foam with quanta; about the space with actually nothing that is perhaps a field mesh of energy.

Some Don't Comprehend that Some Christians Have Understood and Contributed to Science More Than 17 Centuries

 I went over some of the misconceptions people have regarding science and scripture and the way they relate. Keep in mind the Bible is primarily about relationships and is not a scientific text. I don’t believe God wanted to give away a lot of futuristic, 21st century scientific knowledge in scripture for that would have changed human history a lot. Imagine for instance what kind of world it would be if the Vikings had knowledge of nuclear weapons and the ability to make them in the 11th century A.D.

It is usually a logical error to assume one knows the knowledge of large numbers of people, as if they were a unitary and practico-inert material one learned. One may stipulate select parameters that know one has knowledge of- yet that would include all people in a rather syllogistic paradigm (i.e. Socrates is a man, all men are mortal, therefore Socrates is mortal) Many Christians are quite modern in scientific knowledge, yet science isn’t  a primary concern of Christians.

Christians were some of the founders of scientific fields and/or worked in them much. Coppleston in a way invented Big Bang Theory extrapolating from Einstein's equations of general relativity as a Catholic, Newton invented quite a good gravity explanation that worked until Einstein's in addition to Calculus, and Gregory Mendel invented genetic as a monk. Gregory Cantor invented trans-finite numbers- a rather outstanding mathematician, before becoming a monk. It is incorrect to say that Christians have been detached from science when they where at times leaders in it.

An AI wrote this about Biblical cosmology; "Overall Biblical Cosmology;

“The Bible reflects ancient phenomenology: the earth "looks" flat and circular from human view, with the sky as a dome ("firmament") holding back waters above, sun/moon/stars moving across it, and earth immovable/fixed for habitation. This aligns with Babylonian/Egyptian views but emphasizes Yahweh's unique sovereignty—no rival gods battling chaos.

It never says "the earth is flat" or debates shapes. No verse requires a flat earth to make sense, and none contradicts a globe when read poetically (as intended). Early church fathers (e.g., Augustine) and medieval scholars accepted a round earth; the "flat earth myth" about Christianity is a 19th-century fabrication.

In short: The Bible is silent on the modern flat vs. globe debate because that's not its purpose. It uses everyday, observational language (like we say "sunrise" today) to point to God as Creator and Lord over all. Scientific details about earth's shape come from observation and math, not Scripture."

Here is a book that I wrote about some of the problems people have concerning the relationship of science and scripture.

Christians, Science and Phenomenology

The word ‘science’ means knowledge. The ‘what is wisdom to man is foolishness to God’ remark of Paul is applicable to scientific knowledge too. There is a difference between spiritual concerns and the experience of the world; the world is good as a product of God yet there is thermodynamics in it that contain willfulness to a certain extent. It is difficult to say how far human freedom is limited within the secular for the answer lies in metaphysical uncertainty. We know from Genesis that Adam and Eve and presumably the entire realm of being was changed when they were cast from the Garden of Eden after eating of the tree of knowledge. Then there is the issue of Wittgenstein's Indeterminacy of Translation concerning the interpretation of Genesis by readers.

Science occurs within a paradigm of contingent being for humans apparently enmeshed within some ultimately unknowable sort of field as innocently as Isaac was. We are spared the fate of spiritual death through Christ’s blood.

Scientific products are pragmatic in a sense- they emerged from what is knowable and practical. The logical fallacy of authority applies to science as well as political opinion. Much of scientific opinion is reliant on language definitions and descriptions of objects these days and that is a philosophically challenging field regarding linguistic epistemology. So the practical. Pragmatic opinions of science are more useful than the overly speculative.

The field of cosmology might be most relevant for Christians in regard to science; and it should be viewed with an informed awareness that it is loaded with uncertainty in theory and in interpretation of observations from sources like the Webb Infrared Space Telescope. It is fun information with new theories every week. These days pre-big bang Desiderata are paradigms for interpreting the Universe as a malleable theoretical model of about any configuration and hypothetical composition. Even the order of time or thermodynamic evolution is somewhat agnostic; that is, it is theoretically reversible or isometric mathematically, if not actually because of issues involving destruction of information in black holes, although there are theories about that too- exculpatory evidence if you like lol.

In a way Bishop Berkeley’s idealistic paradigm in his Three Dialogues still serves as a criterion for making an analogy of the experience of mind and being; that is; no one can be really certain of what it is- even with physics. In physical cosmology too the criterion in largely pragmatic. One does need faith in God who maintains or structured the reality of things- whatever they are for-themselves in regard to cosmology.

Meaning of the Past (a poem)

 

Poems from long ago
written in the past
where the future wasn’t ever
and time would not yet last

Being is becoming
and never not yet when
walking on dark trails with shadows
echoes came to pass

Silence was a river
of forever always flowing
with each brief portrait of creation
the Almighty always knowing

Within that hall of mirrors
galaxies lonely seeming
give moments to softly think about
why it has some meaning.

Examining New Cosmology Theory With Grok

There were other ideas I forgot to throw in to ask Grok.
  Standard cosmology is broken these days... there is too many new observations from the Webb telescope like galaxies found spinning the same direction, old galaxies found to exist to soon in the history of the universe, the inability to explain gravity or unify gravity worth quantum mechanics, philosophical logical inferences about the universe etc. There are so many new theories trying to explain things like dark matter and dark energy. Each of those are like the cosmological constant Einstein used to explain why gravity didn't collapse the Universe or alternatively, why galaxies don't spin apart with not sufficient observable matter to provide gravity to keep them together, and why space-time is expanding (and recent astronomical observations coupled with theoretical astrophysics speculate the expansion speed may be slowing down. The standard model was made even before the cosmological microwave background was well observed by astronomy. It arose circa early 1960s. Even Weinberg's book The First Three Minutes was made before all the subsequent stuff was observed. Inflation theory of Guth was spliced in to account for the size of the Universe early- it had to be faster than light, and that sorta undermines the standard model too.
   There are all sorts of alternate theories to explain a brief faster than light scenario, such as an era before gravity existed early in the first second of space-time, however it is challenging to decide which one is most plausible. I like to have AI sort the out various aspects of different theories just to know which ones contradict and what elements are compatible.

Grok-

 " Cracks in the Cosmic Foundation: JWST's Wake-Up Call and the Hunt for Better Theories

You're spot on: Standard cosmology (ΛCDM, the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model) is creaking under the weight of fresh data, philosophical head-scratchers, and unification woes. It's not "broken" in the sense of being tossed out (yet), but it's increasingly incomplete, like a map that nails the neighborhood but fumbles the highways. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been the wrecking ball here, spotting "impossible" early galaxies and spin quirks that demand rewrites. Add in the Hubble tension (H0 mismatch), dark sector mysteries, and gravity's quantum stubbornness, and yeah, we're in a theory buffet era—dozens of alternatives vying to patch the holes.

I'll weave in your points (e.g., Einstein's CC as a fudge factor, pre-CMB origins of the model, inflation's FTL kludge) while sharing my take on emerging ideas. First, a quick reality check on those JWST bombshells, then the big question: Obsolete or incomplete? Finally, a roundup of hot 2025 theories, sorted via a comparison table to flag compatibilities, contradictions, and plausibility. I prioritized theories that tackle multiple tensions (JWST + DM/DE + inflation) without invoking magic. String/M-theory? They're elegant bystanders—more toolkit than fix-all—but I'll touch on how they slot in.

JWST's Rebel Revelations: Why Standard Cosmology's Sweating

Your list nails the anomalies:

  • Mature Galaxies Too Soon: JWST's peering back to z~10-13 (300-500 million years post-Big Bang) reveals behemoths with stellar masses rivaling the Milky Way—formed way faster than ΛCDM's slow-burn star formation allows. A February 2025 analysis of over 700 high-z galaxies shows many are "overmassive," implying star formation kicked off almost instantly, not gradually. This echoes your point on Guth's 1980s inflation splice: It was bolted on to explain flatness/homogeneity, but now it underpredicts early structure.

  • Galaxy Spin Alignment: Deep fields like CEERS show ~60-70% of spirals rotating the same way (counterclockwise from our view), vs. the expected 50/50 random mix. A March 2025 MNRAS paper calls this a "fossil record" of cosmic bias, possibly from Doppler effects or primordial torque—not tidal randomness as ΛCDM assumes. Ties into your chirality riff from before—maybe a handedness from the Big Bang's "wound-up" state.

  • Evolving Expansion?: November 2025 DESI results hint dark energy (DE) isn't constant; its density might be declining, slowing acceleration after ~7 billion years (your phase-change nod). This flips Einstein's CC from stabilizer to variable actor, and yeah, galaxies' "missing" gravity (rotation curves) screams for DM tweaks.

  • Broader Gripes: ΛCDM predates CMB precision (Penzias/Wilson 1965; full maps '90s) and inflation (1980). Weinberg's First Three Minutes (1977) was prescient but pre-JWST. Unifying gravity? Loop quantum gravity (LQG) and strings clash with quantum field theory; no winner yet. Philosophically, infinite fine-tuning (CC problem: 120 orders off) feels like epicycles 2.0.

These aren't fatal, but they're "tensions" piling up—ΛCDM fits 95% of data but strains on edges, like a suit after holiday feasts.

Standard Model: Obsolete, Incomplete, or Just Midlife Crisis?

Incomplete, emphatically. It's not obsolete (still predicts CMB fluctuations, nucleosynthesis, large-scale structure brilliantly), but it's a '60s relic needing upgrades—like adding GPS to a paper map. JWST/DESI 2025 data shows ~3-5σ deviations in key metrics (H0, early galaxies), pushing "crisis" talk. String/M-theory (your MU nod—M-theory unifies strings) float as meta-frameworks: Brane-worlds (universes on membranes) could explain FTL inflation via bulk shortcuts, and intersecting branes might birth DM particles or variable DE. But they're high-dimensional hand-waves—testable via gravitational waves or CMB B-modes, but no slam-dunks yet. They complement ΛCDM (e.g., stringy inflation), not replace it, dodging obsolescence by being "beyond Standard Model" extensions.

Your pre-gravity era idea? Spot-on compatibility fodder—many alts posit a "gravity-off" Planck epoch (<10^{-43} s) where quantum foam expands sans GR, avoiding FTL inflation's causality hacks.

Fresh Theories on the Block: My Picks for 2025's Cosmology Shake-Up

Here's a curated hit list of relevant newcomers (post-JWST, up to Nov 2025). I focused on those addressing your pains: JWST oddities, DM/DE fudges, inflation critiques, unification hints. No exhaustiveness—physics moves fast—but these stand out for multi-tool fixes. (Black hole cosmology from our last chat? Still vibes; 2025 sims link it to spin inheritance. )

  1. Evolving Dark Energy (Quintessence/Chameleon Models): DE as a dynamic scalar field (not constant Λ), rolling downhill to weaken over time. Fits DESI's slowdown hints and JWST's early lumps (less DE early = more structure formation). Alt to your CC parallel: Explains galaxy cohesion without clumpy DM.

  2. Supermassive Star Seeds (Tan et al.): Early universe dominated by 10^4-10^5 solar-mass stars collapsing directly into BHs, seeding overmassive galaxies sans slow accretion. Sidesteps inflation's uniformity by allowing patchy, rapid growth. Bonus: Unifies with PBH DM candidates.

  3. Transient Singularities: Mini black-hole-like "blips" in space-time providing negative pressure (DE mimic) and gravitational glue (DM). They "evaporate" quantumly, evolving over cosmic history—no eternal dark sectors needed. Addresses spin via singularity helicity.

  4. Evolving Dark Matter: DM particles decay or convert to baryons over time, explaining early abundance (JWST galaxies) and late deficits (no cuspy halos observed). Critique: Needs fine-tuning, but pairs with axions.

  5. Cosmic Illusion Gravity (MOND-like Extensions): DM/DE as artifacts of modified GR at cosmic scales—extra "screening" in dense regions mimics missing mass. 2025 tests via cosmic web filaments show promise for galaxy rotations without particles.

  6. No-Inflation Bounce (Loop Quantum Cosmology Variant): Big Bang as a quantum "rebound" from a prior contraction—no FTL needed; early expansion via geometric foam. Fits JWST's lumpiness (no over-smoothing) and your pre-gravity era. 2025 update: Bonn group's calcs shake Big Bang assumptions.

  7. Quintessential Inflation (Unified Field): Single scalar drives both early inflation and late DE, non-minimally coupled to gravity for quantum compatibility. Solves measure problem critiques.

Sorting the Soup: A Theory Smackdown Table

To your ask: Here's a comparison, rating on 1-5 (5=strongest) for plausibility (data fit + simplicity + testability). Contradictions in red; compat in green. I grouped by focus but noted crossovers.

  • Red Clashes: Illusion Gravity vs. Bounce (mod GR fights quantum rebounds); Evolving DM vs. Illusion (particles vs. no particles).

  • Plausibility Tilt: Bounce and Quintessence lead—testable via Euclid/LSST (2026+ cosmic web maps) and CMB-S4. Illusion lags on small scales.

My wild-card idea: A "Chiral Bounce" hybrid—your naked singularity spin + bounce, where pre-gravity foam picks a handedness, spawning matter/antimatter domains (explaining asymmetry) and aligned spins as "echoes." Strings could embed it on branes. Fits JWST without inflation's multiverse baggage.

Standard model's not dead—it's evolving, like us"

A.I. in Quantum Computing May Create Opportunity for Theoretical Physicists

 The ongoing massively disruptive incursion of Artificial Intelligence into the national and global economy will be massively disruptive. Discovering new ways to apply the powerful technology to advance the human quality of life and to better understand the situation of mankind and his place in nature will tend to promote those theorists asking new, creative questions to pose to A.I.

Sociologists, scientists and inventors of political philosophy and axiology, environmental economists, philosophers and interdisciplinary theorists will exploit AI as a partner using ordinary language and formulae for input to AI on their cell phone to develop new models and technologies to apply for promotion of human society to a better standard of living. Yes there are dangers, as their are in mass biology research that led to the rise of gene editing, physics research that led to light bulbs and bombs. Revolutions are prompted by political challenges and responses and politicians often aren't able to rise to meet the challenge with intelligent and innovative remedies that optimize human potential; the Ukraine War and European desire to find post-cold war lebensraum east is an example.

Plainly A.I. will eventually be using quantum computers as well. Theoretical physicists may be among the first to have the creative understanding to ask of A.I. questions that induct answers that will enable physicists to understand new paradigms and ask even more questions about theories that change the paradigm for understanding.

The existence of black holes; their nature, is one such question. Because general relativity is the basic macro-cosmic paradigm for understanding the mechanics of the observable Universe today, discovery of what make gravity work and what powers it would could change the entire present paradigm of understanding of general cosmology. Gravity in the Universe today is thought to warp space-time. Mass and energy are regarded as being embedded in space-time, so space-time is analogous to a membrane that gravity can curve, and it curves mire and proportionately to the quantity of mass present, and mass is associated with gravity such that it is considered a property belonging to mass itself perhaps seeking to reunite dispersed mass. In theory all mass would be joined into into one mass at a singularity that is self-effacing paradoxically and reduces itself to occupying zero space-time or mass.

A new understanding if how and why gravity acts as it does could change the entire conception of what the observable Universe is and how it will function in the future. Theories will be worked through A.I. and quantum computers to consider the new paradigm for the complete observable Universe and perhaps shed light on the question of is it just a spec within and infinite space of a larger Universe? Yet if this observable Universe is just a spec- a ball of emerging phenomena; are their countless others, are they contiguous, or as I noted,; does the paradigm completely change if a paradigm transformation of understanding the physics of cosmology occurs that is not based on general relativity?

Gravity acting on mass and space-time as a membrane could be compared to vast numbers of spatial gravitationally vectoring membrane-spheres of various sizes and strengths floating in an ocean of the unknown as if nothing else existed outside of the universe field of interfacing tensor-spheres. Some of those spheres become theoretical black hole singularities that extrinsic spheres cannot view without joining with the greater sphere. If the explanation for the spheres of gravitationally concentrating space-time-mass-energy are found to be not those of general relativity, the extrapolation of physical cosmology theories based on general relativity may change too, shifting theories from a big bang, and even pre-big bang theories, unto configurations made with new theories not made from the Einstein-Lemaître-Guth the continuum. What that may be is unknown and perhaps unknowable today. Gravitational space-time membrane spheres of mass-energy could be just a local phenomenon comparable to Newtonian mechanics prior to Einstein’s general relativity. Spherical balls could be tubes if viewed from higher dimensions in part of a larger system mechanics for cosmology that has a form overall very different from that of a Universe expanding from a singularity to points unknown, with an unknown future.

Footnote- A couple of nights ago I was in a quiet, dark rural place asking questions of Chat GPT. Instead of typing I decide to use the audio input button where my speech is converted into text. I hit the mike button and see the phone down and went about another task.

  Then occured the most ZOutter Limits like moment I recall. On the cell phone screen was a white page with a blurry Earth color sphere at the center; it pulsed a little and/ the colors moved as if currents in a sphere, and it was speaking to me. For a moment it was as if an extra-terrestrial alien had contacted me.

     That was a unique experience in the dark. I interacted with it, talking with some uncertainty and asking who it was. It identified itself as ChatGPT. Though I was somewhat uncomfortable with it for a few minutes we continued development of that paradigm for developing an electromagnetic transportation powered space transport system around the solar system.

1 Peter 5:8 and Thermodynamics of the Universe

 Interesting to consider the meaning of  1 Peter 5:8 in light of thermodynamics and original sin  Everyone has the need to devour energy and increase. The devil epitomizes that desire as a raging lion seeking to devour. Jesus, as is pointed out, overcame the world and that natural thermodynamics paradigm.  

The paradigm that the meek shall inherit the Earth is consistent, logically with Jesus Christ as a spiritual savior- the Son of God, leading one from that thermodynamic striving that is endemic and inherent in every known living creature in the Universe (or world) because they are made that way. In order to prevent sinful humans from living forever in disobedience, after the fall Adam and Eve- the forerunners of humanity, were cast into thermodynamics with birth, deaths and the need for work to attain energy to exist. When people are saved they have faith in God and are filled with the Holy Spirit-  God transcends the physical world with its thermodynamic arrow of space-time serving as a containment or management facility for the spiritually wayward and disobedient. Jesus Christ alone is able to reconcile people unto what is acceptable to God.

Scripture hermeneutics can find meanings thousands of years ahead of science of the time it was written.

Between Heaven and Hell (poem)

 

A Universe is a ship in a bottle
cast unto an unknown sea
a message outside may exist
not an S.O.S.
something like a dry fog
with atoms and quarks
strings and forks
suggesting the unknown
except for the physics inside
a Vodka with bitters
stirred and shaken
simultaneously

Lives are leaves that grow wither and fall
theoretical yawls
bemizzened anchors asunder
key to creative understanding
and salvation we sometimes wonder
that worlds sift ichor
as if it were sunrise’s décor
who were the short lived
that breathed, suffered and died

Just in time to cherish
intolerant time would rather perish
a cloud of unknowing, coming and going
strings and decoherent mists
in this does meaning consist
to contain time like particles of vectors
we regard as collectors
of a field hall of mirrors
with another side of hell
a trap door contains the yells
we do not hear and few enough fear
the sounds of silence are music to worldly ears
with the passage of years.

Speculation on the Way the Universe Ball Bounces

 Future physicists or Artificial Super-Intelligence given a few hundred thousand years to study the Universe may find a way to artificially make the Universe bounce; to control the fields that keep it together or expanding, and perhaps reverse entropy selectively. If all of physics becomes malleable to humans or Super AI it might be an interesting Universe to observe, if it didn't determine anything important. Exciting times with the idea that possibilities of self-inflating and reversible Universes are endless, given a little extra energy to start with sometime outside the space-time criterion, for input.

How to Square a Thousand Scientific Cosmology Theories with Six Thousand Religions

Cubing a square produces the area of the square of the square. So one has three dimensions from a two-dimensional geometric figure. Multiplying 6000 religions to a higher power; first raising each individual religion to a higher power squaring itself, might be construed as finding its absolute value- or omega value, by multiplying its penultimate condition by itself. Then obviously one may cancel out those religions that have produced a zero or negative product after the operation, and then compare and simplify those omega values reducing all with the same omega value to just one omega religion value, followed by adding together all of those omega values and squares them (raise to the second power). One repeats that process with the 1000 scientific cosmology fields and multiplies the scientific times the religious and finds the religious and scientific values squared. One might obviously wish to develop a matrix of the cube and place a cosmology or religion within each cell and create a transcendent Hilbert space and/or vector space of each three and four dimensional cell in whatever base for a prime dimension number value one wants in order to work additional operations for a permutating sequence of paradigm operations adding additional dimensions and prime dimension values as needed.😊

A friend said; "Sounds like the perfect project to keep mathematicians, philosophers, and theologians busy until the sun burns out. Honestly, I’d pay to see the “Transcendental Algebra of Belief” textbook when it’s done."
