No doubt you've seen Hagelin on dark matter & energy eg: http://mou.org/wp/special_events/ram/12feb2004_video.ram
As for the "ever-expanding universe", it means it cannot collapse back to a point and as matter is scattered at accellerating speed (due to properties of dark matter and energy) and eventually exceed the speed of light, everything will cool down to near absolute zero and float away in isolation and utter darkness. Nothing to get excited about there. Meanwhile there are supposedly billions of universes all over, each with different combinations of laws of nature - hence our own with the particular laws and finely balanced parameters that enable life to evolve here are just the result of blind chance. Where is there room for any spirituality here, one wonders. Yet Hagelin suggests universes are created as thoughts arising from the transcendent; that dark matter is the "unmanifest" (corresponding to 3/4 of Brahma, as the scriptures said)and also the stuff of subtler bodies. It's all very wierd stuff... --- In [email protected], "Irmeli Mattsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In [email protected], "jim_flanegin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "Rick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Scientific observation has shown that the universe is expanding in > > > all directions at an ever accelerating rate.
