Some Words of Wisdom

To know is nothing at all; to imagine is everything.~ Albert Einstein 

protection is active.

maximum diameter of universe

relativity of motion :

Interestingly, from an external frame of reference, 0 is stationary.
But from the point of view of either A or B, 0 is receding from them at the speed of light!
And A and B are separating (i.e. the space/distance between A and B is expanding/increasing)at twice the speed of light!
So motion is relative to one's observational frame of reference.

If O is tbe point of origin of the universe and the maximum velocity of the Big Bang wave front was "c" (assuming that the wave front generated by the Big Bang propogated outward in all directions at the maximum allowable speed) ,
then A and B represent the outer boundaries of an expanding sphere.
The distance between A and B is the diameter of the universe wch is expanding at a maximal velocity of 600,000 km/second.
Accepting that the universe is 13.7 billion years old(13.7 billion years to zero time) we can calculate the number of seconds in 13.7 billion years =X seconds*.
Since the diameter of the universe is expanding at 600,000km each second,
the present diameter of the universe is:  600,000km x X seconds* =
13.
7 billion years x 31,536,000 s/ year =  13.7 x 10^9 years x 31,536 x10^3 s/year=  4,320,43.2 x10^12 seconds

6x10^5km/s x 4,320,432 x10^11s = 25,922,592 x 10^16 km = 2.6 x 10^23 km

*How many seconds in a year:
60 s/minute
60 minutes/ hr
3600 s/hour
24 hr/day
86400s/day
365 days/ year
31,536,000 s/ year

*************************************** 
In one year light travels 9.5 x10^12 km
In 13.7 x 10^9 years it will have travelled  130.15 x 10^21 km =1.3 x 10^23 km

radius of universe = 1.3 x 10^23 km 
diameter = 2.6 x 10^23 km

*****/*******************************

V=d/t. (velocity =distance/time )
v=c= maximum allowable velocity of expansion.
d= distance from point of origin to outer edge or boundary = radius of universe
t= 13.7 billion years(time from t=0 to now)

d=vt
v= c=9.5x 10^12 km/year
d=9.5x 10^12 km/year X 13.7 x10^9years =130 x10^21 km =1.3 x 10^23 km (this is the radius from center to outer edge, and the maximum distance light has travelled in 13.7 billion years)
Hence diameter = 2r= 2.6 x 10^23 km

Let there be Light!

Physicists create light out of nothing!

http://www.world-science.net/othernews/111117_casimir.htm

Physicists devise method to make virtual photons stick around in reality. Virtual photons "materialize" out of empty space and usually quickly disappear
Not only did they coax tbese photons (wch were created in pairs!) out of
notbing (a vacuum is defined as a space that is empty) , but they made them stick around!
Apparrently so-called "empty space" is not so empty after all.
In fact it is teaming with undetectable/hidden energy ("dark energy") ... just waiting for us to grab it.
The darkness is full of light !

And apparently this "dark energy" somehow fuels the accelerating expansion of the universe.
see "dark energy" recognized with Nobel Prize in physics :
http://www.lbl.gov/Publications/Perlmutter-Nobel/

This finding gives credence to the possibility that the entire universe
(all yhe livht that makes up tbe universe)
similarly emerged/exploded out of "nothing".
If a pair of photons can be created(brought into existence) out of nothing...why not a universe (that is made of light) !

where is the proof that photons have no mass?

Light is produced when atoms release stored energy. In fact material atoms are made of energy  and all their energy  can be released as light(electromagnetic radiation)according to    E=mc^2

Conversely  electromagnetic energy can
be transformed into material particles  such as electrons and positrons  .
Thus matter and energy are interconvertible static and kinetic forms of one substance.
Electromagnetic photons  are massless and chargeless.But when thisy kinetic energy is transformed into static material particles, tbe properties of mass and charge  emerge. These "emergent" properties must have existed in a potential
unmanifest state within the photon (or how could theze properties  miraculously          appear out of nothing and nowhere?)   
Perhaps because photons do not exist in a static state but are always moving at light speed, tbese properties (like "time") do not cease to exist but cease to be measureable/detectable. How would you measure tbe mass of a particle moving at light speed.?

Photons are the basic quantum unit of the action of electromagnetic radiation. They have no mass and no charge. They travel through space at 186,000 miles per second with no loss in energy until they collide with other particles. Thus photons,
( tiny particle-waves with no mass, no charge, no time, neither matter nor anti-matter) constitute one of the basic units of action in physics.
It is as if photons exist in space, but not in time:
Imagine that you are a photon travelling through space at the speed of light. If you were to look at your watch, you would, according to the theory of relativity discover that time was standing still. Hence you could travel to the very edges of the known universe without aging a single day, although, to an observer on earth, it would take you three billion years to get there.

In other words,at light speed it is possible to traverse infinite distance in zero time; i.e. instantaneously!

A photon, when it is annihilated, is able to create particles of matter and anti-matter which have both mass, charge, and time,.
How can "massless" photons materialize into particles possesing mass and charge?

Conversely when particles of matter and anti-matter come into contact with each other,  their measurable properties of mass,charge,time are annihilated and photons are produced   (the  "mass,charge,time" properties cease to be measureable)
A photon  with a specific energy, "E" ,
although  it is experimentally "massless"
nevertheless has a mathematicaly calculatable finite mass  of  m=E/c^2.

E=mc^2,

c^2 =E/m

Light is produced when atoms release stored energy. In fact material atoms are made

The Elephants Knew!

Never Underestimate the Human:Animal Bond

THE ELEPHANT'S JOURNEY TO PAY RESPECT,
BUT HOW DID THEY KNOW?

Lawrence Anthony,
A legend in South Africa and author of 3 books including the bestseller,
The Elephant Whisperer.
He bravely rescued wildlife and rehabilitated elephants all over the globe
From human atrocities, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo
Animals during US invasion in 2003.

On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.
He is remembered and missed by his wife, 2 sons, 2 grandsons, and
Numerous elephants.
Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his home
Led by two large matriarchs. Separate wild herds arrived in droves
To say goodbye to their beloved 'man-friend'.
A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles
To get to his South African House.


Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only
Because of the supreme intelligence and precise timing that these
Elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of
The profound memory and emotion the beloved animals evoked
In such an organized way: Walking slowly, for days,
Making their way in a solemn one-by-one queue from their habitat
To his house. Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched,
Knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior to that day for well over 3 years!
But yet they knew where they were going. The elephants obviously
Wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring their friend
Who'd saved their lives - so much respect that
They stayed for 2 days 2 nights without eating anything.
Then one morning, they left, making their long journey
Back home.

SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS GREATER
AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.
