INTRODUCTION
What is your place in the Universe? Just what is the Universe? How did we get here? Where is 'here'? What is the meaning of life? Are we alone; is there anyone else out there? Is there a God?
These are all questions that have been asked since the beginning of conscious thought by mankind. Although early man had no knowledge or conception of the Universe he lived in, he did see the stars in the night sky as you do today (albeit in different positions than the current night's sky).
Mankind (Homo-sapiens of this planet) tends to have predetermined ideas and thoughts as to how things should be on this world and the Universe we live in. These predetermined thoughts are based primarily on what we have been told since birth, and humans are not easily persuaded to change these perceptions of what they believe to be true or right. This social anthropology of society is basically a fixed behavior in different cultures, IE rituals, religion, kinship, marriage, political and economic structures and these preconceived beliefs are not easily changed once imbedded in one's psyche.
I only ask that you keep an open mind when contemplating the concepts and words written in this manuscript. What you believe to be 'true' in your world may be shaken from the reality of how things in the Universe really are and what your part in the Universe is! These words are not written as a manuscript for the masses, but rather consider it as a conversation between myself and you. As you read this manuscript, look inside yourself and explore what is really within you.
The concept of being a real physical and metaphysical part of the vastness and totality of the Universe is a difficult thing to comprehend for most people on the planet Earth today. Early man found it easiest to explain all of his questions of why things are as they are by the belief in spirit's or a 'god' (or many gods), a Divine Being that had created all that was his world and controlled all aspects of his daily life. For it was not man's 'duty' to understand all that was around him, it is a creation of the 'Great Spirit's' or 'Lord thy God', or whatever his society (tribe) deemed 'the creating force' to be. Today many of the beliefs, myths and superstitions of early mankind still persist in the form of some sort of 'religion' around the world, this again goes back to the social anthropology aspect and modern man's inability to contemplate new ideas of creation and the actual facts of the Universe and the world he lives in.
Every culture has varying degrees of religious beliefs and what that society perceives to be right or wrong. Many of these religious beliefs are based on the religion's (Prophet's) contrived teachings at their religion's time of origin. Even though most religions have 'evolved' over time to be more representative of their current societies thinking and philosophies, most still believe in the same basic principles of their religion's origin and the myths that come with it, this philosophy is evidenced by current societies steadfast belief in ancient fables and writings, in a 'Heaven' or a 'Hell', as it has been instilled in their mind since birth. It is interesting to note that more people believe in Heaven than in Hell, it seems most would rather believe in the 'good' of their religion, rather than the negative or 'bad' side.
Imagine a cataclysmic event of such proportions that only a very small percentage of the population of the world survived and all current technology was lost. Now imagine after a few generations, this meager number of souls join together, just trying to survive from day to day, scavenging for food and fighting off wild animals, because now mankind is once again in the food chain. In the evening the clan is huddled around a large fire to ward off predators, one of the elders pulls out the 'sacred book', "The Stand", as told by the Prophet Steven King.
The Prophet tells of good versus evil in a world that is very foreign to the clan members who were all born many generations after the great calamity and have no knowledge of times past, only what the elder tells them. The clan are told by the elder (who is the only one in the clan that can read, similar to early religious leaders who kept the art of reading a secret within their faction) of the great forces and powers of both the good faction and the evil faction, and if they live their life as dictated by the Prophet they will triumph over evil.
After a couple more generations, what was told as myth and folklore by the elder from the 'Sacred Book', is now told by the new elders as they remember the stories from their childhood, these stories have now become fact and a 'religion' is formed. This young society is governed by the religion as set forth in the Holy Scripture, "The Stand"; all must obey the rules and beliefs as told by the elders or perish as the evil did in the Sacred Book. 'The Prophet Steven King will strike you down if you disobey him, thy God!'
Without exception, all of these religions purport their 'truthfulness' to be based on 'miracles' or the profound teachings of the religion's founding Prophet and the 'Sacred Book'. I will cover religion in a couple chapters and weed out the myths and superstitions. I will try to explain to you what 'religion' was originally all about.
Cosmologist believe the Universe to be about thirteen billion seven hundred million years old since its inception, what has been called the Big Bang. This perception of the age of the Universe is partly based on the light horizon, that is to say, the light from the most distant galaxies and primordial light we can observe. By cosmologist accounts, our galaxy (the Milky Way) must be at the very center of the Universe, because in all directions from our position in the Milky Way Galaxy we can see the same distant light at thirteen point seven billion light years.
The believed age of the Universe was basically arrived at by taking a deep look at a section of the Universe through the Hubble telescope and WMAP (a composite of the early Universe). Cosmologist believe they know how fast the Universe is expanding based on red shift (1) and with these calculations they just worked backwards from the closest galaxies, eliminating each in succession until there was just one visible light source left in the picture. They determined this faint light to be the first star, originating within a half million years of the Big Bang. Cosmologist also believe there to be about one hundred twenty-five billion galaxies in the Universe. (Not even close on either count, age or size!)
Truth is, the incomprehensible size of the Universe, even to the most knowledgeable of cosmologist is truly mind boggling. Think of just one light year and the distance that must be traveled in that year. Light in a vacuum (such as space) travels approximately one hundred eighty six thousand miles per second. Multiply that one second by sixty, multiply that one minute by sixty, multiply that one hour by twenty four and finally multiply that one day by three hundred sixty five, you will find you have traveled about five point eight seven trillion miles in one light year (5.870,000,000,000,000 miles = one light year).
Now that may seem to be an unfathomable distance based on the size of the Earth and our solar system, but our own modestly sized Milky Way Galaxy has been estimated to be about one hundred thousand light years across (100,000 X 5,870,000,00
0,000 = 587,000 trillion miles). Our solar system lies on the mid to outer edge from the center of the Milky Way, about twenty seven thousand light years from the black hole at the center of the galaxy. The closest star to us is about four light years away, the closest habitable planet to Earth is about eight point five light years away (49.895 trillion miles).
It is interesting to note the Milky Way Galaxy was so named by ancient Greeks because of the diffuse cloudy appearance from Earth, and the ancient Greeks believed the Milky Way to be all there was to the Universe. It was not until later years (with the advent of powerful telescopes) that the cloudy appearance was determined to actually be dense clusters of stars and nebulae, and much more was beyond the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy contains at least two hundred billion stars and somewhere between seven hundred fifty billion and one trillion solar planets. Earth is but one of these hundreds of billions of planets, just one
