Illustration: 2.0: Time-space continuum: Model: 1



Illustration of the time-space continuum over the increase-decrease of the Balloon Universe.

A) The "Big Bang". Time-space continuum is created.

B) The "Turning point". Time-space continuum is streched until the gravity turns the process.

C) The "Big Crunch". Time-space continuum ends.

Illustration: 1.2: The Balloon Universe: Model: 2

Illustration of the timeline over the increase and decreaseof the Balloon Universe.







A) The "Big Bang". Creation of the time-space.
B) The Balloon Universe increases in size.
C) It continues to increase and strech out in size.
D) The "Turning point". Gravity gets to heavy for further increase of the Balloon Universe.
E) The Balloon Universe decreases in size.
F) It continues to decrease and shrink in size.
G) The "Big Crunch". End of the time-space.

Note: It is not of matter that this increase-decrease process is symethrical.
This model of the increase-decrease process is symethrical just for pedagogic reasons.

Illustration: 1.0: The Balloon Universe: Model: 1

Illustration of the Balloon Universe.

A) The great balloon of time-space tissue is all there can be messured. There is nothing existing outside the spheric frame of time-space tissue. There for the question of "What exists outside the Universe?" or "Where does the Universe end?" is pointless. For, where does really a spheric form - for example a ball - end?

B) The Balloon Universe is held togheter by the gravity of the mass existing on its surface - for example; gas, clusters of galaxies, stars et cetera.

C) A blowup of a cluster of galaxies on the surface of the great Balloon Universe.

The Big balloon

The instinct of selfpreservation is a fundamental instinct which is normally used by biologists to define the major driving force behind the natural selection. But it can also be seen in a wider perspective – as a major driving force behind all being. If we look back on the previously articles about non-existance there is a interesting question we have to ask our selves – how can science answer the mystery about the time before time? The answer I give to that question is that science alone can not do that. The natural sciences has one fundamental criterion – a theory must have the ability to be proven true or false in a test. That is the main problem with the natural sciences. How do you test theories (for example ”Quantum Physics”) based on mathematic calcules? How do you laborate with theories about occations before or after time? As I said – you don´t! The theories are not able for experimental laborations. That is why philosophy take over where the natural sciences leave the field. I will give an illustration of what I mean with the philosophical over hand in this issue. But first – philosophy does not function allone in the dark without the natural sciences as its guiding light. Lets have this thing clear when we talk about philosophy. Imagine the Universe as a big balloon [see: illustration 1:0]. At the time of the Big Bang this balloon was smaller than the smallest neutron. No time or space occured outside this balloon embryo. Actually the embryo was all time, all space, all energy and all mass at once. When the bubble blew up – the Universe as we now know it took shape. Gas clustered into stars that clustered into galaxies. The surface of this cosmic balloon is created of pure timespace. All over the balloon small dots of megagalaxies shines like minimal pearls. In one of these megagalaxies might our own galaxy ”The milky way” be found, and in the outskirts of this galaxy might our own sun ”Sol” be found. The third planet from the sun is the adress where you can find me and you because this is the Earth ”Tellus”. Imagine how this is held together by the pure gravity from all the mass in the entire Universe – an immense power. The timespace-balloon first blows up by the nuclear explosive powers of the first embryo, the protoplasmic core. It increases into a enormous size. Then the gravity starts to take over. The increasing size of the bubble starts to slow down, until the process billions and billions of years later stops and revers. The balloon decreases, drawn togheter by the accelerating power of the gravity until the whole balloon collapses in a cataclysmic Big Crunch and becomes – Nothing. This is very vaguely how I imagine the birth, life and death of our Universe. But, in order to understand the whole process and the reason why I recognise it as a fairly pleasant scenario we have to rewind the tape and go back in time to the spot where it all started. Or, just before..

Non-existance part II

As formerly stated – the concept of nothingness is the base of understanding the existance. The existance is not more complicated than just a space where time can occure and a time over which the space can transform. If we have that thing clear – then it is not so hard to understand that the non-existance is the lack of time and space. If we really try to understand how a ”Big Bang” can occure in a non-existance and create time and space, then the thought firstly allmost seems like a philosophical contradiction in terms. How can something (the creation of timespace) actually happen if there is no time, and how can something (a particle, energy, heat) exist if there is no space? The answer simply is – it can´t! It is against the laws of physics. But, yet, the timespace really exists around us and it is growing, we have data on that. It must have started sometime and somewhere. We can even pinpoint the exact location and how old the Universe is. How is it possible? This is something that I will try to explain with my ”Cosmic Bubble Cycle-theory” in a later article. In the Nothingness (or if you prefer ”the non-timespace before the Creation or after the End of the Creation of timespace”) nothing is able to exist. There for no event is able before the creation of the timespace and the discussion over the ”Beginning” often is somewhat pointless and shallow - even on a highly theoretic or philosophical level. There is something stronger than the laws of physics that we have to have in mind if we are trying to analyse the ”time before time” and "being without being" – and that is – The Instinct of Selfpreservation.

Non-existance

The most generalistic definition of existance should be "a being defined by time and space". But what if there was no such time-space in which there could exist movement, cause-effect, sensibility or any of these phenomenons that we connect with our existance? It is hard but not impossible to imagine the lack of time-space, matter, light et cetera. Just lay down on your bed, close your eyes and mentally erase the sounds that flow through the room, erase the lights in the room and after that the darkness in the room, erase the feeling of the bed under you, the sence of clothes, air, itches and so on, erase the taste in your mouth and the smell of the room, erase the feeling of the room, space and your entire beeing. You don´t exist and nothing exists around you. there is no "around you" there is nothing at all and you do not feel it because you don´t even exist. No matter, no hollowness, no light, no darkness - nothing. Not even coldness. No thoughts can occure in a non-timespace-continuum because thoughts occure over a brief period of time. This is the spot (or non-spot) where we must start a discussion over the term "existance".

Purpose of the Blog

This blog is aiming to create a draftpad for my personal ponderings upon themes as the Universe, Life and Purposes of the creation. It is also ment to function as a link to the source of these thoughts. Please post comments on articles that you find interesting, ridiculous or inconsequent. And please, pardon my english. I know, it´s not perfect, but it is anyway the best language to use in order to reach out to as many readers as possible.
