Is our universe intertwined with another one?

 

Life as a human is an interesting period of time. Every person is the same, but different. And, in many ways, humans share characteristics with all animals. With some, we share many characteristics, but others with few. For example, all animals, whether worm or Elephant, have a brain which organizes and controls life. As we work upward to more and more complex animals, the brain also becomes more complex. When we get to humans, the brain takes care of all body needs. Once everything is in order, they tend to focus one or all of six questions every time something new comes before them. The questions: Who, What, Why, Where, When, and How. Many questions associated with our home, the Earth, have been answered. There is one very difficult question, however, that has become high on our list. Basically, it is ‘the nature of our universe.’ Bits and pieces of the answer have been collected. Complex computers have been able to theoretically reverse movement of the many stars, and calculate the time our universe was born. This is currently called “The Big Bang.” But what actually happened? It does appear that Einstein’s theory, energy = mass times speed of light squared (E = MC2) is correct, although reversed. It should be M = E/C2. Therefore, the ‘Big Bang’ was not an explosion, but the sudden appearance of an unbelievably immense quantity of energy. Based on the chemistry we now know, it is assumed that this energy first created hydrogen, from which larger elements would then have been created.

Where would that energy have come from? That is a question that is probably unanswerable. What we can say is that, from the elements that were created our universe is built using four-dimension components – height, depth, distance, and irreversible time. We may argue on how much time it took to happen, but we know that a nice big solid ball was created and we call it Earth. Another, much larger and hotter ball, was also formed, and it keeps us warm. We look into the night air, and we see many distant big hot balls, which we call stars. All of this is slowly moving around, and we call it our universe. Thus, we are comfortable with what we have worked out. There may also be other separated universes, but they are of no concern to us.

There is one thing that does concern us, though. Periodically, people report seeing unusual, undesirable things in the air. Officially, they have been ignored and called imagination. Pictures and solid descriptions, however, keep cropping up. Furthermore, they have been observed coming out of water and even solid land. As we look into history, we find many more strange things. Construction with immense, cut stones. Things built on arithmetically precise calculations that no one would have been using at the time. Knives found in pyramids that were identical to those used today in hospital surgery. Reports and stories of people nine feet tall. Stories of strange ‘persons’ that looked nothing like today’s humans – and usually called gods. No longer can reports of unidentified flying objects be ignored. But how can one explain them?

One explanation that has been suggested is that another universe is intertwined with us. But why can’t we see it if that is the situation? First of all, we are in a huge three-dimensional ‘box’, working under unidirectional, irreversible time. We can’t conceive of anything outside this box. But is it possible? Physicists have suggested that there might be 10 dimensions. Consider: if we were in contact with a two-dimensional universe, they might see spots as we passed through their flat universe, but could only actually see us if our path happened to coordinate with their two dimensions. If we were to be in contact with another universe in a different ‘box,’ we would, likewise, only see them if they move within our dimensions. In addition, if we are in contact with another universe there is nothing that would prevent it being formed in a completely different system. We live in a box, as already indicated, and have no ability to conceive anything different. But our whole universe is built from nothing more than energy. Who is to say that something entirely different might also be created from energy?

When I was in school, the electron (about 4 x 10-10 centimeters diameter) was considered the smallest item possible. Since then, the electron has been split, and several smaller units observed for less than a second before disappearing completely. All considered, these can be assumed packets of negative energy. So far as we know, every element in our universe, from hydrogen[1] to Lawrencium,[2] is constructed of similar but larger positive protons collected in groups, called nucleus, and surrounded by negative electrons. We cannot envision any other system, but if everything in our universe is actually constructed of energy, why couldn’t some other universe have a different construct? What about space, though? Wouldn’t we be bumping into solid items in the other universe? Not necessarily! Everything seen is not as solid as it seems. In reality, everything, from smallest to largest, is mostly air. A few elements have been actually measured. Oxygen, one of the most common element components of rock, plants, and animals, has been measured. The Oxygen atom is far too small to see, and if the nucleus were enlarged to the size of a ping pong ball, the eight electrons would be buzzing around the nucleus in an orbit with diameter of two football fields. Of course, the nucleus and electrons will be much closer, in our eye, but the solid to air relationship would still be the same. It is difficult for us to vision this but, providing there is no chemical or electric interaction, there is plenty of room for two objects to pass through each other. In fact, Jesus did exactly that (John 20:19).

[2] The largest element ever found or created, with 103 protons in the nucleus and 103 electrons buzzing around it like bees. The nucleus also contains either 157 or 163 neutrons (uncharged protons). Lawrencium is created in the laboratory, and is never found in nature.
