That is one of the few things likely to be true.
And one side of the universe would seem like it is right next to the opposite side.
An excerpt can be found at http://www.zondervan.com/media/samples/pdf/0310267269_samptxt.pdf
Exellent NOVA tape on the universe talks about mathmaticians attempting to come up with the universal laws that apply to small particles and huge astronomical bodies. Example the mathematical equations relating radiation, gravity and etc observed on planetary bodies should be the same with small atomic particles. Experiments and observations show that they are very similiar but slightly different, meaning the scientists are still missing something in their observations and measurement. Mathmeticians attempt to come up with the fudge factor and determined that the universe has 14 plus dimensions (humans can sense only 4 (length, width, height and time)). God in theory should be able to sense all 14 plus, meaning he can move, sense and do things that we mortal humans cannot because we are confined to 4. Believe or not, the longer astromoners and particle pychicists are involved with this academic exercise the more amazed they are of the orderliness and finesity of the world concluding the possibility of an intelligent designer or God.
Thanks for the ping! And, no, I haven’t read this book ... yet.
This is an awesome yet true concept, yet I disagree that if someone were slowed down to around the speed of light, then went faster than the speed of light, actually, in theory you could travel to the future, but never to “the past”-The past is a physical impossibility for physical beings such as mankind!
String theory is “bunk” and not Einstienian at all..its a way to try to explain the universe as “accidental” and not created specially by God, it delves waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much into theory for me, and not enough in true scientific methodology.
God is limitless - something our natural mind cannot conceive.
Thanks for your testimony, and thank God for His love.
BTT
Please put me on the Colson ping list. I’m in the middle of reading Colson’s “God and Government” - it’s really good so far.
I need to read this book.
I have discuused these things with pretty smart people. One claimed that Genesis is just another creation myth along side things like the sun being such and such god’s chariot traveling through the sky or that the earth sits on the back of a large turtle, etc.
My response is typically: how about you start with the simple stuff? Explain gravity, space, light, and time to me. Then let’s delve into creation. It is a very effective argument. The greatest minds on the planet have never ironed it all out. It helps the individual to accept that maybe it is a tad beyond them to bluster about the creation of all that is.
Though God doesn't preclude us searching. M-Theory, growing out of superstrings, is a "beautiful" guess, though the energies to test it are currently outside our means.
The physicist Paul Dirac even once said, "It is more important to have beauty in ones's equations than to have them fit experiment." His knowing full well, I think, that they should "fit" together.
He believed in God too.
