Space Ripples Reveal Big Bang’s Smoking Gun
…the future of the cosmos is perhaps bright and fecund, but do not bother asking about going any deeper into the past. We might never know what happened before inflation, at the very beginning, because inflation erases everything that came before it. All the chaos and randomness of the primordial moment are swept away, forever…
Read MoreNear-Death Experiences Explained by Science
Near-death experiences are often thought of as mystical phenomena, but research is now revealing scientific explanations for virtually all of their common features. The details of what happens in near-death experiences are now known widely—a sense of being dead, a feeling that one’s “soul” has left the body, a voyage toward a bright light, and…
Read MoreBody Recycling
“Studies at the Oak Ridge Atomic Research Center have revealed that about 98 percent of all the atoms in a human body are replaced every year. You get a new suit of skin every month and a new liver every six weeks. The lining of your stomach lasts only five days before it’s replaced. Even…
Read MoreRecycled Star Matter
Not only were our heavy atoms… made in ancient supernovas, but the ingredients for our multi-atomic genetic molecules ride the winds that blow between the stars, says John C. Mather, a Senior Astrophysicist… about the creation of the universe and the re-cycling of star matter to create the human species. ((Kazan, Casey. The Human Species:…
Read MoreHuman Flesh is made of Stardust
In a sense, human flesh is made of stardust… Every atom in the human body, excluding only the primordial hydrogen atoms, was fashioned in stars that formed, grew old and exploded most violently before the Sun and the Earth came into being. The explosions scattered the heavy elements as a fine dust through space. By…
Read MoreThere Was No Big Bang – We Live in a Universe that Endlessly Expands and Contracts
“Does the universe repeat itself every trillion years? A new cosmological model appears to demonstrate that the universe can endlessly expand and contract, providing a rival to Big Bang theories and solving a thorny modern physics problem, according to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill physicists. A new view that requires for a new…
Read MoreThe Control of the Mind is the Control of the Body
Our body is composed of what we eat; our mind, of what we hear, read, say, and write. This is why every society, every social institution – religion, law, medicine – controls not only what we can and cannot take into our bodies, but also what we can and cannot take into our minds. In…
Read MoreFundamentalist Rules
The issue for fundamentalism is how to get people to obey absolute rules that cannot be obeyed absolutely. There is of course force and fear. But it is more reliable to have people who want to obey the rules. The easiest way to do this is to make people feel bad about themselves and then…
Read MoreReverse Psychology of Original Sin
Take a child brought up to believe the lusts of the body are dirty and wrong; that an omniscient God spies on and judges its every little sneaky mean thought and action; that it is born in sin (original sin) and can only be saved by accepting the dictates of this God’s rules. The child,…
Read MoreThe Shadow in Matter
We are not… biological, with mind emerging as a kind of iridescence, a kind of epiphenomenon at the higher levels of organization of biology. We are hyperspatial objects of some sort that cast a shadow into matter. The shadow in matter is our physical organism.
