Universe Age:
I will offer here a couple of tidbits related to how I suspect we could
approximate our universe's age if it is in fact around 13.5 billion
years toward the center of expansion. I have heard claims to a "color"
of the universe toward the center. So, like many scientific experiments,
you would take a plethora of samples that are numerically significant
enough to have good averages. We should then have an idea of the general
speed of various light and light emitting sources from a multitude of
sources. Using doppler shifts, trig, and calculus should help us refine
various distances. An atronomical knowledge of how certain stars and
galaxies behave are predictable and offer one more piece to the puzzle
for referencing. So through multiple references and data accumulation,
including all those listed in the preceeding, we are able to make accurate
predictions. So the question is, does our universe have some symmetry?
If it is 13.5 billion years old toward the center, then does it stretch
13.5 billion years to the opposite side? Furthermore, if 5000 scientists
come to the same conclusion from different data sets and criteria, then
is it safe to conclude that the results are accurate - assuming that
100,000 scientist do not dissent to the conclusion. So in a universe
that is at least 13.5 billion years old - can you suspect that there
is some interesting tinkering and happenings all around us everyday?
George Bush spoke of a shadow government in the midst of the 911 attacks
on New York City. What sort of a shadow government could this be? Supposedly
one that operates seamlessly and without question for defensive purposes.
What other interesting and mysterious happenings occur in an ancient
universe?
