Fyodor Dostoyevsky figured it out this way: the Devil certainly exists, and if the Devil exists, God certainly exists, for there can be no existing Devil without an existing God. The astrophysicists at CERN just announced that the Universe should not exist; therefore God does exist, for without God anti-matter would have destroyed the Universe at Creation.
This Blogger became interested in astrophysics in the summer of 1988; he happened to be in West Berlin, and would have to get back to West Germany by taking a train through Communist East Germany. The Soviet Army had a massive concentration of troops at Magdeburg ( the hills were black with Soviet field tents) waiting to attack NATO across the Northern German Plain.

The Soviet Army had a massive concentration of troops at Magdeburg ( the hills were black with Soviet field tents) waiting to attack NATO across the Northern German Plain.
It was common knowledge
that the STASI ( the Communist East German Secret Police) would stop the train
outside of Magdeburg to size up the passengers. Under those circumstances, the
choice of reading material would be crucial; this Blogger could not be found
reading either the Bible or the
Federalist Papers. Nor was it advisable to have any Marxist material, because
the Stalinist STASI might ask this Blogger a Marxist question, and since this
Blogger had learned his Marxism as a Trotskyite, a Trotskyite answer could lead to bad results.
Therefore the right
reading material had to be something that smacked of atheism, (the STASI liked
atheism) but in a popular way; this Blogger picked A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME by
the astrophysicist Stephen Hawking.
During the train trip
across East Germany, this Blogger read Hawking from cover-to-cover; that triggered
his interest in astrophysics, and initiated his counter-intuitive belief that astrophysics
confirms the existence of God.
This Blogger was accepting
Hawking’s cosmology until Hawking got to explaining the BIG BANG THEORY. His
explanation of the BIG BANG was no longer science but a belief system,
involving cartoonish nanoseconds
(nanosecond (ns) is one billionth of a second).
Then Hawking started informing
this Blogger that to understand the BIG BANG, he, this Blogger, had to imagine
there was a time before time in which
there was no time; then SOMETHING, out of NOWHERE, spontaneously appeared. It
was the size of a pin head, and out of NOTHING, it appeared, to explode into
the Big Bang, creating the Universe.
Hawking’s cosmology is that something spontaneously appeared out of
nothing...that to this Blogger was Creationism by another name.
If a devotee of science must believe that something was
created out of nothing; then this Blogger has a right to say that process, something
out of nothing, was GOD'S work . If this Blogger has to believe mumbo jumbo, he might as well
believe mumbo jumbo for which St. Paul got beheaded.
"It
has been known since the late 1920s that the universe is getting bigger. But it
was thought that the expansion was slowing. When in 1998 two independent
studies reached the opposite conclusion, cosmology was knocked head over heels.
Since then, 5,000 papers have been written to try to explain
(or explain away) this result. “That’s more than one a day,” marvels Saul
Perlmutter, of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who led the Supernova
Cosmology Project—one of the studies that was responsible for dropping the
bombshell. …. that work earned Dr Perlmutter the Nobel prize for physics, which
he shared with Brian Schmidt and Adam Riess, who led the other study, the
High-Z Supernova Search.
…. In the early 1990s studies of the cosmic microwave
background (CMB), an all-pervading sea of microwaves which reveals what the
universe looked like when it was just 380,000 years old, showed that the
universe, then and now, was “flat”.
However big a triangle you draw on it—the corners could be
billions of light years apart—the angles in it would add up to 180°, just as
they do in a school exercise book.
That might not surprise people whose geometrical endeavours
have never gone beyond such books. But it surprised many physicists. At some
scales space is not at all flat: the power of Albert Einstein’s theory of
general relativity lies in its interpretation of gravity in terms of curved
space.
Cosmologists were quite prepared for it to be curved at the
grandest of scales, and intrigued to discover that it was not.
…Relativity says that for the universe to be flat, it has to
have a very particular density—which in relativity is a measure not just of the
mass contained in a certain volume, but also of the energy…..
….. A cosmological constant is the same no matter where in
the universe you look—an inherent, unchanging feature of the fabric of
creation, however much it expands, twists or ties itself in knots.
The cosmological constant is another thing first dreamed up
by Einstein. On realising that the equations of general relativity allowed for
the universe’s expansion (or, indeed, contraction), he added a parameter
describing just such a constant in order to keep it from doing either…..
Quantum theory says that the seemingly empty vacuum of space
is, in fact, not empty at all. Instead it is constantly abuzz with “virtual”
particles flitting in and out of existence. The energy resulting from all this
buzzing—vacuum energy—should be a fixed feature of space—in other words, a
cosmological constant.
… in principle, it could also propel the universe’s
expansion. Thus vacuum energy and dark energy might be the same thing. But this
theoretical neatness runs into a practical problem. .... vacuum energy is not vast enough to explain the universe.....Working out why vacuum
energy is not so vast has been a problem for physics ever since.
….Dr Perlmutter doubts the existence of God because of
science. Alas, no one will never find God in Science. The science of the 17th
century is not the science of today; the science of the 18th century is not the
science of today;the science of the 19th century is not the science of today;
the science of the 20th century is not the science of today..... THE ECONOMIST "
Nobel Laureate Perlmutter is wrong; Science can lead one to God.
The fact that astrophysicists cannot figure out the Universe, except in science
fiction, leads one to the conclusion, it is God behind the ongoing, and
continuing mystery. If there were no God, Mankind would know the mysteries of
the Universe by now.
Mankind has to be the entity to discover the secrets of the
Universe, for, because of GRBs, Life on Earth may be the OLDEST Life
in the Universe, and consequently Mankind the most intelligent life in the Universe.
“….it may be the case that
complex life on Earth is just about as ancient as it is possible for complex
life to be. And, since complexity necessarily precedes intelligence, that might
mean human beings really are the first intelligent life forms to evolve in the
Milky Way.
…. gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most energetic phenomena
yet discovered in the universe. No one is certain what causes them, but the
leading theories are a hypernova—the sudden collapse of a massive star to form
a black hole—or a collision between two neutron stars, the ultra-dense remnants
of supernovas (slightly less massive collapsed stars).
What is not in doubt is
their prodigious power: a typical GRB generates as much energy in a few seconds
as a star will in its entire multi-billion-year lifetime. That would be bad
news for any life-bearing planet which was too close.
……….The idea that a nearby
GRB (nearby, in this context, means within about 10,000 light-years) would
wreck the biosphere of an Earthlike planet was proposed in 1999 by James Annis
of Fermilab, in Illinois. First, the blast of radiation would instantly kill
most living organisms on or near the surface—not just those facing the blast
but also, via secondary showers of charged particles and re-emitted gamma rays,
those on the hemisphere facing away from it.
Second, the gamma rays
would also stir up chemical reactions that create ozone-killing molecules
sufficiently powerful to destroy more than 90% of an Earthlike planet’s ozone
layer, and keep it destroyed for several years. This would let in intense
ultraviolet light from the planet’s parent star, which would blitz any complex
biological molecules it hit….….If astronomers ever do discover life on another
planet, then, it is unlikely to be much older than life on Earth itself. THE

The key cosmology of
physics is quantum theory. As a layman, this Blogger has been studying quantum
theory since 2006; and after a decade he can admit he understands barely a
whisper or whimper of it. It is gobbledygook on an operatic scale, much like the
Old Testament, except the Old Testament has a lot of sex.
“Quantum theory is
the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior
of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level.”
All well and good except
there is a reason that it is a THEORY.
Supposedly light, the
speed of light is the fastest thing in the universe, according to Einstein.
However, within the quantum theory there is the worm of ENTANGLEMENT, forever
interlocking the fates of subatomic particles, regardless of their separation.
So if a photon on one side of the galaxy spins up, an instant later on the
other side of the galaxy its twin photon will spin down …..Suggesting that
INFORMATION TRAVELS FASTER THAN LIGHT.
This was very upsetting
to Einstein, because the suggestion that information travels faster than light
is a no-no in his special theory of relativity.
He dismissed it as
unworthy “spooky things”, and invented the concept of hidden variables. Hidden
variables are mystical science, much like miracles; consider them miracles for
physicists. Their sole purpose is to find an explanation within the universal
speed limit of light to explain the speed of information traveling above the
universal speed limit.
European physicists did
a test which banned Einstein’s hidden variables from the lexicon of physics.
They proved mystical things are indeed happening in the speed of information,
unexplainable by any scientific mumbo jumbo like hidden variables.
With Einstein disproved,
what is left of quantum theory?'
CERN is the European
Organization for Nuclear research, it operates the largest particle physics
laboratory in the world at the Swiss/French border.
It was CERN that
discovered the Higgs Boson-the God Particle.
Last month CERN came
close to announcing the existence of God, by announcing that the Universe
should not exist.
“One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why
antimatter did not destroy the Universe at the beginning of time.
To explain it, physicists suppose there must be some difference
between matter and antimatter – apart from electric charge. Whatever that
difference is, it’s not in their magnetism, it seems.
Physicists at CERN in Switzerland have made the most precise
measurement ever of the magnetic moment of an anti-proton – a number that
measures how a particle reacts to magnetic force – and found it to be exactly
the same as that of the proton but with opposite sign.
“All of our observations
find a complete symmetry between matter and antimatter, which is why the
universe should not actually exist,” says Christian Smorra, a physicist at
CERN’s Baryon–Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) collaboration.
“An
asymmetry must exist here somewhere but we simply do not understand where the
difference is.”
Antimatter is notoriously unstable – any contact with regular
matter and it annihilates in a burst of pure energy that is the most efficient
reaction known to physics. That’s why it was chosen as the fuel to power the
starship Enterprise in Star Trek.
The standard model predicts the Big Bang should have produced equal
amounts of matter and antimatter – but that’s a combustive mixture that would
have annihilated itself, leaving nothing behind to make galaxies or planets or
people….cosmosmagazine.”
Readers, Science,
Physics, astrophysicists, and cosmologists are on the verge of proving the
Universe, and Mankind SHOULD NOT EXIST.
But the Universe does
exist.
What greater proof is
there?
The Universe exists
where and when it should not exist means that God exists.
