"the atoms have been stripped of one or more of their electrons, resulting in a hot, fluid-like mix of positively charged atomic nuclei (ions) and free-floating, negatively charged electrons."
So if Atoms alone
are only .1 to .001
of the observable universe?
It's fairly simple to deduce that:
"the conditions for...life
in the universe,”
would be pretty
uncommon.
So Dr. Milam and everyone else
working on that question
can feel free
to move on to your next project
cause this one has been solved
for a good while already.
"The term "Plasma Universe" refers to the concept—pioneered by Nobel Laureate Hannes Alfvén—that over 99% of visible matter in the universe is in a plasma state, and that electromagnetic forces
are just as criticalas gravity
in shaping cosmic structures."
"Electromagnetic forces" are actually
way more critical
as they are
"fundamentally about \(10^{36}\)
(or a trillion trillion trillion)
times stronger than gravity.
Genesis 1:3
And God said,
“Let there be light,”
and there was light.
And that was
the entire electromagnetic spectrum
from which everything else came
as the stars didn't come till later:
Genesis 1:14-15
And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
"Now listen to the correct and clear explanation of the verse in its simplicity. The Holy One, blessed be He, created all things from absolute non-existence. Now we have no expression in the sacred language for bringing forth something from nothing other than the word bara (created). Everything that exists under the sun or above was not made from non-existence at the outset. Instead
This was the primary matter created by G-d; it is called by the Greeks hyly (matter). After the hyly He did not create anything, but He formed and made --things with it, and from this hyly He brought everything into existence and clothed the forms and put them into a finished condition."
because it's so vivid so real and so relevant to all of us
and it's going to give us a glimpse into what I'll call
9:489 minutes, 48 seconds
for a lack of another term
the unseen realm
and we're gonna try to understand
this unseen realm
leaning heavily surprisingly
9:569 minutes, 56 seconds
on the recent discoveries of modern science
but let's just jump into this we're in second Kings chapter
10:0310 minutes, 3 seconds
6 starting about verse 8
then the king of Syria warred against Israel
and took his took counsel with his servants
10:1210 minutes, 12 seconds
saying in such and such a place shall be my camp
and the man of God that's an idiom for Elisha the man of God sent
10:2010 minutes, 20 seconds
unto the king of Israel saying beware that thou passed not such a place
for the the Syrians are come down when
10:2810 minutes, 28 seconds
it says the king of Israel this is obviously talking about
the division of the nation after the death of Solomon
the Northern Kingdom called itself the
10:3610 minutes, 36 seconds
house of Israel and I'll try to refer to it as the northern kingdom to avoid confusing that with a nation as a whole many people reading text out of context
10:4510 minutes, 45 seconds
when it says Israel they're not top of the whole nation talking about the house of Israel Northern Kingdom and Elisha was following Elijah as a principle
10:5310 minutes, 53 seconds
prophet to the Northern Kingdom
and they're at war with Syria
and so the king of Syria whenever he announced
11:0111 minutes, 1 second
where he was going to be somehow Elisha tipped off the king of Israel
as to his whereabouts and the king of
11:0911 minutes, 9 seconds
Israel is sent to the place which the man of God told him
and warned him of and saved himself there not once or twice
in other words this wasn't a
11:1711 minutes, 17 seconds
single event this was a pattern and it took to take long for
the king of Syria to realize something was not was amiss
11:2611 minutes, 26 seconds
here so we get to verse 11 therefore the heart of the king of Syria was a sore troubled for this thing and he called
11:3411 minutes, 34 seconds
his servants and said unto them will he not show me which of us is for the king of Israel he he assumed he had a mole on
11:4111 minutes, 41 seconds
the staff that was somehow tiping off his adversary
and so that's his assumption and one of his servants said
11:5011 minutes, 50 seconds
none my lord o king but Elisha the prophet that is in Israel
tell us the king of Israel the words that thou
11:5811 minutes, 58 seconds
speakest in thy bedchamber
this is I believe the earliest recorded instance of a phone tap that that
12:0712 minutes, 7 seconds
somehow the king of Syria doesn't have a mole on the staff somehow
there is a a way that what is said in his staff
12:1612 minutes, 16 seconds
meetings is reported to the king of Israel so what does he say he says and
12:2312 minutes, 23 seconds
he said go and spy where he is that I may send and fetch him that is this this prophet of Israel that somehow has an
12:3012 minutes, 30 seconds
inside leak here and that I may send it and fetch him
and it was told him saying behold he is in Dauphin therefore said
12:3912 minutes, 39 seconds
he the horses and chariots and a great host
and they came by night and compass this city about in other words he didn't
12:4712 minutes, 47 seconds
send a little team to check it out he sent a whole army in effect the
12:5412 minutes, 54 seconds
horses chariots great hosts and circled the entire city and so that's the
13:0113 minutes, 1 second
situation here so we get to the next morning
and when the servant of the man of God that's an assistant to Elisha
13:1013 minutes, 10 seconds
when the serpent of the man of God
was risen early and gone forth behold the hosts compass the city both with horses
13:1813 minutes, 18 seconds
and chariots and a servant said under that is unto his boss alas my master how shall we do
get the picture
13:2713 minutes, 27 seconds
overnight the city is surrounded
the servant gets up in the morning does his chores and realizes they're surrounded
13:3513 minutes, 35 seconds
by the Syrian army and he's panicked he turns to to Elisha and says my master
13:4313 minutes, 43 seconds
what shall we do now Elisha I suspect was maybe a little bit of impatience
said fear not the answer is that
13:5213 minutes, 52 seconds
fear not for they that be with us
are more than they that be with him
now I suspect that the servant probably figured this
14:0114 minutes, 1 second
is not a time for a spiritual cliche
I can hear their engines running so to
14:0714 minutes, 7 seconds
speak ok and so Elisha prayed and said
Lord I pray he opened his eyes that he
14:1514 minutes, 15 seconds
may see
(Sounds like honey everyday.)
and I'm sorry I can't resist the the thought that Elisha maybe did this with a little bit of impatience and let
14:2414 minutes, 24 seconds
the kids see let him understand Lord
what you and I know in effect
so Elisha prayed and said Lord I pray thee open his eyes that he may say
and the Lord
14:3214 minutes, 32 seconds
opened the eyes of the young man
and he saw what did he see and behold the
14:4014 minutes, 40 seconds
mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire
around Elisha
fascinating passage
14:4814 minutes, 48 seconds
the servant didn't realize it
couldn't see the reality that between
14:5514 minutes, 55 seconds
them and this hostile army
was an army of chariots and fire that were invisible
15:0115 minutes, 1 second
protecting them
and you know it doesn't take much imagination
if you were casting this as a movie
you could read take advantage of special effects to
and reconciled light and supergravity to the equation
23:3023 minutes, 30 seconds
when you get to 1963 two guys Yang and Millsdeveloped fields
that reconciled electromagnetic and both nuclear for the
23:3723 minutes, 37 seconds
weak and strong nuclear forces
so by simply adding dimensions
these imponderable things suddenly yielded to
23:4423 minutes, 44 seconds
understanding and clarity and so on it goes
and from 1984 onward most people
23:5223 minutes, 52 seconds
that are in this field of study have come to the conclusion that
there are at least ten dimensions
not just the three
(10 in Ez 28:13
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
12 in Rev 21:19-20
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
The 12 being the 10 in the garden that humanity originally had access to, as well as the realm of Angels (11) and the realm of God (12).)
astronomy it's the distance from the earth to the Sun
it's a basic unit of length within astronomy and what's
25:2125 minutes, 21 seconds
interesting is that basic unit of astronomy within a Lightyear
is that roughly the same number as a number of inches in the statute mile very close
25:2925 minutes, 29 seconds
that gives rise to a useful coincidence
let's build a an imaginary model of our
25:3725 minutes, 37 seconds
universe using that ratio in other words
we're going to use that as a scaling ratio we're going to the 60 few thousand
25:4525 minutes, 45 seconds
360 we're gonna say that's essentially equivalent to sixty-two thousand three hundred so we're close and so we're gonna let one inch represents the distance from the earth
25:5325 minutes, 53 seconds
to the Sun a standard standard unit okay
and one mile will represent one light year
with me so far so just bear with me
26:0226 minutes, 2 seconds
here a little bit let's build that model well how big is the Sun well if it's about eight hundred eighty thousand miles in diameter and it's about 93
26:1026 minutes, 10 seconds
million miles away that turns out the Sun itself would be represented by a period it's about a hundredth of an inch in our model that we're building we're
26:1926 minutes, 19 seconds
gonna have something a hundredth of an inch and let's just imagine a period or if you have a very sharp pencil a very tiny speck represents our Sun good so
26:2726 minutes, 27 seconds
far all planets it turns out would then be able
to be built in our imaginary model here
within a seven-foot circle
26:3526 minutes, 35 seconds
okay in other words mercury would be four tenths of an inch
away from that speck Venus would be seven
26:4326 minutes, 43 seconds
tense of a an inch in that speck earth would be one inch
in other words by
26:5126 minutes, 51 seconds
definition 1 inches astronomical you know that's the definition of an astronomical unit
so we're using a one inch scale as we build this model and
26:5726 minutes, 57 seconds
Mars would be about 1.6 inches and the Jupiter would be about 5.2 inches
Saturn about nine and a half inches
27:0527 minutes, 5 seconds
Uranus about nineteen point two inches and Neptune about thirty inches out there and we get to Pluto it's about thirty nine point five it desert to call
27:1427 minutes, 14 seconds
it nominally a meter and radius okay and so so
the seventh when I say a seven foot circle I mean diameter of
27:2327 minutes, 23 seconds
Sanford circle so that's our solar system
if we built this model
we could easily contain it right here in the auditorium
27:3027 minutes, 30 seconds
okay now the nearest star to us is
Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri conveniently is
27:3927 minutes, 39 seconds
about the size of our Sun okay now
the nearest star is four and a half light-years away in our model you see
27:4927 minutes, 49 seconds
that equates to a speck the size of our Sun
the size of say a period on your paper four and a half miles away we
28:0028 minutes
can't have it here in the auditorium we'd have to
it goes I want you to think four and half miles
and I want you to remember something else if you remember
28:0828 minutes, 8 seconds
the man see we've got two specks of dust
they're separated by four and a half miles
and once you remember that according to the Newton's universal law
28:1728 minutes, 17 seconds
of gravity you take the product of the masses
and divide by the square of the distance between them
so not only is it
28:2528 minutes, 25 seconds
four and a half miles away
it mathematically has to be
that squared
like 20 miles equivalent so to speak if
28:3328 minutes, 33 seconds
you're with me
so the question that lurks in our minds
how much influence would gravity have
between these two specs
28:4128 minutes, 41
specs the size of a period
separated by the equivalent of 20 miles of distance
or four-and-a-half miles
28:4828 minutes, 48 secondss
quared if you will
see what you discover as you explore these topics is that most astronomers have presumed
28:5728 minutes, 57 seconds
a gravitational universe
gravity is very useful for our solar system
because the distances are nominal
29:0529 minutes, 5 seconds
the minute you start talking about stars and galaxies
gravity is a non-player
you know I want you it's amazing to step to
29:1429 minutes, 14 seconds
discover here is
a science popular by brilliant people
they are victims of their own presumptions
interestingly
29:2129 minutes, 21 seconds
enough if we look at the fundamental forces
and we won't go I'm drawing of course
on a series of studies we have
29:2929 minutes, 29 seconds
the beyond perception the beyond time and space
the Beyond series we callit
I'm drawing on some of those just to get
29:3629 minutes, 36 secons
some conclusions here
as you look at the four fundamental forces
you discover very quickly that gravity is eclipsed by
Chapter 11: Fundamental Forces
29:4529 minutes, 45 seconds
electromagnetic by a factor of 10 to the 36th
in other words electromagnetic
29:5329 minutes, 53 seconds
forces are 10 with 36 zeros after it
29:5929 minutes, 59 seconds
more intense than gravity
and and it works plus and minus
gravity doesn't we
30:0830 minutes, 8 seconds
don't they we haven't found an anti-gravity force
but electromagnetic goes in both directions
so it's vastly compellingly the dominant factor
30:1730 minutes, 17 seconds
especially as you start increasing large long distances
what we've discovered in recent years is
the universe that you
30:2530 minutes, 25 seconds
see in a telescope
if you're talking about stars and galaxies
you're looking at electrical behavior
not gravitational behavior
we actually have what people
30:3430 minutes, 34 seconds
are beginning to call finally the plasma universe
the plasma physicists have been saying this for years
but no one's been paying attention until recently and we
30:4330 minutes, 43 seconds
have a briefing package on that called beyond Newton
and I encourage you to look at if you're interesting
that the effects of gravity are minuscule on the universe the effects of
Chapter 12: The Plasma Universe
30:5130 minutes, 51 seconds
electromagnetism get ten to thirty six times as great
the entire volume of our galaxy is filled with diffuse clouds of
The flatness problem is a finetuning problem. The universe currently seems to be almost flat, or if it has any spatial curvature, that curvature must be very small. The curvature contribution to the dynamics of the universe however increases in relevance relative to that of matter. This means if the curvature is small today, it must have been even smaller in the past. Inflation serves to make any initial curvature contribution smaller by something like 100 orders of magnitude or so.
This is supposed to be an explanation, but it doesn’t explain anything, for now you can ask, well, why wasn’t the original curvature larger than some other number? The reason that some physicists believe something is being explained here is that numbers close to 1 are pretty according to current beauty-standards, while numbers much smaller than 1 numbers aren’t. The flatness problem, therefore, is an aesthetics problem, and I don’t think it’s an argument any scientist should take seriously.
(HERE IS WHY IT IS FLAT YO:
Isaiah 34:4
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
Revelation 6:14
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
It has to be because flat because its going to be rolled up someday.
"Well thats not scientific"
Well neither is your inflationary cosmology or your multiverse at least I have an ancient text to support my views what do you got?
by the way let's take a look at this what do you mean
it's rolled up if it can be rolled up there must be some
34:1734 minutes, 17 seconds
dimension in which it is thin
in order to be rolled up in order to be rolled up it
means there must be some dimension in
34:2634 minutes, 26 seconds
which it can be bent if you have a two-dimensional thing
like a photograph to roll it up requires a third dimension
34:3334 minutes, 33 seconds
if you have a two-dimensional sheet of paper
and you want to fold it over or you want to tear it in two
that implies a third dimension to your
34:4234 minutes, 42 seconds
two-dimensional piece of paper
you with me okay
so there's a direction to which
it can be bent toward so all this imply these
34:5034 minutes, 50 seconds
this language implies that there are
additional spatial dimensions
and if you talk to specialists in the study of
34:5634 minutes, 56 seconds
these things they will tell you that 10 is a current estimate
of how many dimensions were dealing with here
now a
35:0435 minutes, 4 seconds
10 dimensional universe really
and I'll show you where that was first discovered
and it wasn't in the scientific laboratory
ten dimensional universe and
35:1435 minutes, 14 seconds
we when we get to read the Bible
we discover that the most of what we know
about the creation is after Genesis 3 we
35:2335 minutes, 23 seconds
know very little about the creation prior to Genesis 3
why because in Genesis 3
we have the fall of Adam
and as a result God announces a curse and
35:3235 minutes, 32 seconds
there is a view prevalent some scholars
that if you that when he announced
that curse it
35:3935 minutes, 39 seconds
fractured the creation into two parts
from they took the ten dimensions and
35:4635 minutes, 46 seconds
split it into four
plus six those four dimensions
(In the example listed above
of Ez 28 the 10 dimensions are what
is left after God and the Angels
(including the subcategory of the fallen ones/evil spirits)
in Revelation 21 its 12 because
everything is restored to its pristine state
Man to his original 10 dimensions
+ the angelic one (11)
and God as his own special dimension (12)
Something like that anyway :-).
Thats my story and Im sticking to it.)
"that you and I experienced the
three spatial dimensions in time we
35:5335 minutes, 53 seconds
call the physical universe this podium whatever
we think that that's part of a four dimensional environment three
36:0036 minutes
spatial dimensions and time
these other six dimensions we glibly relegate to
Chapter 14: 10 Dimensional Universe?
36:0836 minutes, 8 seconds
this spiritual universe and that may be
that that's really synonymous effectively synonymous
with the six dimensions that are not directly
36:1636 minutes, 16 seconds
accessible to us
(And angels guard the access to them:
Genesis 3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

"Based on observations of nearby galaxies, Tifft proposed that the redshifts of galaxies are quantized, or that they occur preferentially as multiples of a set number. These findings on redshift quantization were originally published in 1976 and 1977 in the Astrophysical Journal. The ideas were controversial when originally proposed; the editors of the Astrophysical Journal included a note in one of the papers stating that they could neither find errors within the analysis nor endorse the analysis.Subsequently, Tifft and Cocke put forward a theory to try to explain the quantization. Tifft's results were supported by Martin Croasdale, who claimed the effect to be statistically significant and the same over the whole sky, and later Napier and Guthrie. Since the initial publication of these results, Tifft's findings have been used by others, such as Halton Arp, in making an alternative explanation to the Big Bang Theory, which states that galaxies are redshifted because the universe is expanding. However, they have not found widespread support and are now dismissed by the majority of astronomers. Tifft himself, when interviewed for the popular science magazine Discover in 1993, stated that he was not necessarily claiming that the universe was not expanding."
