Miranda - a growing moon!

Voyager 2 passed close to Uranus’ moon Miranda in January 1986. Notice the two race tacks, one deeply grooved and the other fuzzier. In the center are multiple chevron valleys. One side of the chevrons has a deep valley that winds past the apex of the chevron. It continues to a steep valley and precipitous mountain range outlined against the shadow of space. Other, less pronounced, sinuous rilles run across the pockmarked surface. Some scientists suggested that the moon was hit, and the pieces reorganized in a jumbled fashion. (Click on the image to see an expanded version). Yet no large crater is visible. Others suggested that during the freezing process, thermal up welling scrambled the surface. On earth we find long parallel cracks in sea ice. Repeated thawing and freezing creates angular cracks and strange patterns. We also see parallel features and perpendicular transform valleys along the great undersea expansion seam that passes through every ocean. How could a frozen Uranian moon repeatedly warm and re freeze? How could it have tectonic features like earth?

Perhaps Miranda has not always been far from the Sun. Ptolemy, 1850 years ago, measured larger angular diameters for the planets. Many ancient and modern astronomers measured a decreasing solar parallax throughout the centuries. On earth, the continents only fit together on a tiny globe. The continents are rooted, apparently staying in place relative to the center, while the sea floor continues to spread. Fresh basaltic flows, parallel magnetic stripes and the thickness of the sea sediments attest to spreading ocean floors. The notion that the earth swallows this basalt (subduction) is denied by the layered undisturbed sediments in the ‘subduction trenches’. Evidently the primordial earth was a minuscule planet.

The major impediment to belief in an expanding earth is, What mechanism could cause earth expansion? The Hebrew text of the Bible clearly states that the earth spreads out in unbroken continuity. The simplest answer is to believe one’s eyes, that matter is changing as a relation. Relational changes are where everything shifts in parallel, together. We can compare ancient matter with modern atoms at many ranges throughout cosmic history. Not a single one of the billions of ancient galaxies shines with the light of perpetual motion atoms. Yet all scientists define their measuring units with the assumption that atoms dither with perpetual motion.

The most powerful evidence for the continuous changes in atoms is the visible history of the universe, how the galaxies formed. The stars accelerated outward from naked globs, spreading out into huge, local, dusty growth spirals. Billions of galaxies grew in size as the stars accelerated outward concurrently with the accelerating atomic clocks. What is visible is only possible if the properties of matter emerge, change as a relation. Miranda, like the earth, has a complex geology partly because the properties of matter are not fixed. Neither atoms nor orbits are clock like. The amount of space atoms take up, their light clocks and their inertial properties keep on visibly changing throughout cosmic history.

Why can’t we measure relational changes in atoms? The scientific definitions of time and matter are tied to their concept of perpetually unchanging atoms. When atoms change as a relation, the measuring units and mathematical formulas would track with the changing matter. Both sides of a scale would keep changing equally so that the same objects, over time, would remain in balance. In such a universe, constants are synthetic, not actual. The worst kind of error is an error at the level of a historical first principle.

Herschel Images Sources for Cosmic Infrared Background

During October 2009, the largest space telescope (Herschel) spent 30 hours gathering light from a small area of dark sky in Ursa Major. The area is part of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey North (GOODS-N). Hubble, Spitzer, Chandra, XMM-Newton and other telescopes previously made deep observations of this same area. Herschel took this image with its Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) that is sensitive to far infrared from 60 to 210 micrometers. Only space telescopes can see far infrared since these frequencies are absorbed by the atmosphere. More than 15 years ago, NASA’s COBE spacecraft recorded a faint infrared background from all directions. COBE was not able to resolve the sources, so scientists called it the Far Infrared Background (FIR) or the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB). Later the Spitzer space telescope resolved about 70% of the FIR / CIB as emanating from individual infrared galaxies. After only 30 hours of light gathering, PACS confirmed Spitzer’s finding. It resolved about 60 percent of the infrared background into individual primordial galaxies. PACS photo credit: ESA, Herschel and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics.

I predict that longer exposures from Herschel (and other space and terrestrial telescopes) will resolve the cosmic infrared and even the microwave backgrounds. They will find that individual galaxies shone, long ago, all the way down into microwave frequencies. How could ancient galaxies shine at such low frequencies? Ancient atoms were evidently tiny scale models of modern atoms. The shorter the distance an electron falls within an atom, the longer the emitted wavelength. Ancient galaxies shone at tiny fractions of the light from modern atoms. The proof that atoms change relationally throughout cosmic history is based on non mathematical grounds. (1) We see how the galaxies formed from tiny naked globs. We observe how the stars came out, accelerated out, as individual galaxies grew from the insides outward. We observe, at many ranges, how atomic light-clocks and the galactic orbits both accelerated together. Billions of individual galaxies grew into huge, local, growth spirals. This is not possible unless the properties of matter are emerging, changing relationally. (2) A great global expansion seam keeps on spreading out new seafloor even as the continents remain rooted in place. The basaltic rocks around the global expansion seam are the youngest of all earth rocks. The continents fit together only on a minuscule globe. The visible evidence for subduction is entirely missing, since the ‘subduction’ trenches have undisturbed, layered sediments. The earth cannot continually grow in size unless the properties of matter are emerging, changing relationally.

Visible cosmic history confirms biblical physics, not science. The principle for biblical physics is that everything in creation is changing, Greek phthora. The Bible states that the heavens spread out in unbroken continuity. It also states that the earth spreads out in unbroken continuity. It even states where the earth continually spreads out: above the waters. Why do scientists fill the universe up with magical things like invisible matter and vacuum forces? Why do they invent subduction which is denied by the undisturbed, layered sediments? When scientists measure something, their measurements are referenced to their assumption that the properties of matter are fixed, not emerging relationally. Even their mathematics and their laws depend on this assumption. For example, they define seconds as linear “time” units because they assume that atoms are perpetual motion engines. Yet we can see the past with sight. Not a single ancient galaxy shone with the light frequencies of local, modern atoms. Only biblical physics can explain earth and cosmic histories without inventing undetectable magic. Think about it.

Gamma-rays from the LMC

Look at this picture from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera-3. The bright cluster of blue stars is 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The LMC is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. (The Magellanic galaxies are called clouds, because of how the nebulae look to the naked eye.) Recent observations by Fermi’s LAT show that 30 Doradus is the brightest gamma-ray source in the LMC. Gamma-rays in space come from protons and electrons colliding at high speeds. The LAT gamma-ray map also shows an elongated jet that extends north from 30 Doradus, taking up about half the diameter of the galaxy. The gamma jet ends in two glowing globs. Scientists believe that the LMC is a ‘star nursery’ where new stars are forming. They imagine that when high speed particles smash into space clouds, it produces second generation stars. Yet accretion would require a decelerating environment, not an accelerating one.

According to the Bible, stars do not die! Isaiah 40:26 “Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing.” Why are biblical pronouncements about cosmic history different from scientific claims? Peter wrote that the most important, first thing, to know is that in the last days false teachers will come saying all things remain the same. That is the metaphysical assumption, invented by a Greek, upon which Western science was founded. The Bible states the opposite: that the creation is in bondage to phthora. The Greek philosophers used the word phthora for the process whereby all things continue to change. Biblical physics cannot be made into a structured science because, according to the Bible, everything in the creation is changing.

We confirm biblical physics with the visible history of the cosmos. We can see the past all the way back to the creation age. We see that all matter keeps on changing relationally as it ages. (Relational changes are not causally, serially linked because the properties of atoms visibly changes in parallel, together.) All scientists assume that atoms are perpetual motion engines and define their measuring units and their mathematical formulas with that presumption. Consequently, scientists must invent a magical universe to protect their creed that the properties of matter are fixed, not emerging. Scientific cosmic histories are about unnatural things like invisible matter and vacuum forces. Indeed, the scientific universe is allegedly 99% invisible.

The most powerful evidence for biblical physics is how the galaxies formed. Not a single ancient galaxy shone with the light of perpetual motion atoms. The earliest galaxies were naked globs that shone at tiny fractions of the light frequencies of modern atoms. At closer ranges, we see strings of equally space star globs surrounding the primordial cores. We follow at many ranges how the stars accelerated out. Galaxies visibly grew from the insides outwards into huge, local, growth spirals, Visually we confirm that the atomic clocks and the star orbits accelerate together. Indeed, the Magellanic clouds are evidence for biblical cosmic history. The Bible states that God calls the stars to come out, that He spreads out the heavens in unbroken continuity. The Magellanic clouds are linked to the south pole of the Milky Way by a long steam of neutral hydrogen. Evidently they were ejected from the Milky Way. We can see in the distant universe equally spaced galaxies in chains, the formative stage for galaxy clusters. Our ancestors even measured a spreading out solar system over the centuries with angles, the only precision measuring unit that is not tied to the assumption that the properties of matter are not emerging.

Carefully consider the evidence for biblical physics. Biblical physics is not mathematical. It does not build up a great structure on a single, carefully protected assumption. Yet we confirm biblical physics with the light from the long ago universe. We can see a literal biblical cosmic history because we see the past exactly as it looked long ago. How utterly and completely the Word of God will make foolish the wisdom of this age, science.

GRB 090102

The SWIFT satellite detects a gamma ray burst from the long ago universe about once every three days. On January 2, 2009, SWIFT detected the bright GRB 090102 and transmitted the coordinates to earth. Gamma rays pulsed several times for about 30 seconds and then the GRB settled into an X-ray afterglow. Within minutes, several automated telescopes slewed to observe the burst. Scientists measured the afterglow at 39% of the light frequencies of local atoms. This suggests that it was a long ago event since ancient objects glowed at tiny ratios of the light frequencies of local (modern) atoms. An automatic telescope in the Canary Islands observed the gamma-ray burst with a spinning polarized filter. Astronomers calculated from the output of the polarizer that the afterglow was about 10% polarized light. Ordinary sunlight has many wavelengths vibrating in many directions while polarized light vibrates in the same direction. Astronomers observe polarized light from stars that shine through an extending atmosphere, galaxies with radio lobes, pulsars and high speed galactic jets. The polarized light suggests that GRB 090102 involved intense magnetic fields and collimated jets moving at high speeds.

What is a gamma-ray burst? Let’s look for clues in the creation account. Elohim completed creating everything in the heavens and the earth on the first day. However, everything was dark and without form, yet it had a surface (paniym - mentioned twice in Genesis 1:2). Then the Spirit dithered over the primordial abyss and continually commanded light to continually be. The timing of the command for light “to be” is not mentioned in Hebrew or Greek. We do not know for how long or how often God commands the light to be. We observe that atoms are indeed intimately related to internal and external light that evidently gives them their shape. Does the atom light-relationship change? The Earth has a global expansion seam that continually forms new volcanic seafloor. The continents only fit together on a minuscule globe and the sea floors clearly spread out from the expansion seam. Three times the Old Testament mentions that the earth spreads out in unbroken continuity. Apparently the space atoms take up increase as the Earth continues to grow.

A Western Christian might quote Genesis 2:1,2 that God finished creating and rested. The verbs translated finished and ended are pual and piel imperfect in Hebrew. The intensives of creation apparently finished but the finishing, in Hebrew, continues. The text makes no reference to how long the finishing continues. For example, Elohim formed the Sun, Moon and stars on the fourth day. However, He placed them in the spreading out, pounded out place (the raqiya). Although the Sun, Moon and stars were finished, their positions continues to move apart according to the text. We verify this aspect of the creation visibly. We see the way galaxies formed long ago. Periodically globs of stars came out, accelerated out of naked primordial cores. We visually follow at many ranges and in billions of examples how galactic star orbits accelerated out concurrently with the accelerating atomic clocks. What about GRB’s? How do they fit into a biblical cosmic history? Perhaps GRBs are the sudden, long ago formation of atoms, which formed into stars and nascent galaxies as jets moved out, spread out, accelerated out in the raqiya. GRB’s are the continuing finishing. We see how billions of galaxies grew into huge growth spirals. This could only happen if the properties of matter keep on changing, emerging.

Not a single primordial galaxy shines with the light frequencies of local atoms. Yet all scientists presume that atoms are perpetual motion engines since they are the basis for their definitions, measuring units, mathematics and laws. To protect their basic assumption, and the laws of physics that depend on it, the scientific universe is 99% invisible. No one sees the 99% of the scientific universe that is made of invisible matter, vacuums that spread light or invisible energies that spread the vacuum of space. There is not a shred of evidence for a big bang that was not contrived from the assumption that atoms are perpetual motion engines.

Look at the heavens and you will see the glory of God - who even vanquishes Western science for His great glory.

Undersea Volcano Video

In May 2009, a remotely operated robot photographed an active volcano 4000 feet under the sea. The Robot, Jason, found the eruption within an hour an a half of arriving at undersea volcano about 140 miles west of Samoa. The pressure at that depth is about 1770 pounds per square inch. The water pressure contained the eruption although bright red lava is visible releasing clouds of sulfur. The lava instantly cooled - turning into heavy black rock. The robot was able to get within a few inches of the lava and reach in to collect samples. Try that in with an atmospheric eruption and the robot would be toast. The eruption was loaded with sulphur, so the water near the volcano was more acidic than battery acid. Yet shrimp and bacteria thrive in the hot water.

You can watch Jason’s video here at NOAA

Volcanic eruptions are ongoing along the global Earth expansion seam that continually creates new black basaltic sea floor. Indeed, the vast majority of earth’s volcanism happens under the sea so we are rarely aware of it.

Why were the Earth’s undersea floor formed by volcanism? Why are the continents covered with thick sedimentary rocks, while the sea floor is mostly black basalt covered by marine oozes? Why does a great global expansion seam spread out new sea floor every year? Why do the continents only fit together on a minuscule globe? Why are the ocean floors younger than the continents and the youngest rocks are right next to the expansion seam?

The Bible has powerful answers in the area of earth history. Three times it states that the earth spreads out in unbroken continuity. The Bible even states that this spreading is above the waters. It even states that what comes forth from the earth also spreads out. What could cause the earth to continually get bigger? Only Biblical physics can give simple, non mathematical answers. The Bible clearly states that the creation is in bondage to phthora - fundamental change. We can see with our eyes the past and compare it to the present. In general, the more distant the galaxy, the more its atoms clocked minuscule ratios of the light frequencies of modern atoms. Indeed, we can see with sight how the galaxies formed from tiny dense globs of primordial matter. The stars and gas accelerated outward concurrently with the accelerating atomic clocks. We observe with our eyes that the properties of matter are always emerging - which confirms the fundamental principle in biblical physics. The Earth cannot grow and galaxies cannot spread out, the stars continually coming out, unless the properties of matter are changing relationally.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2

In 2004, astronomers took a million-second exposure of a dark patch of sky with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. Deep into the past, far beyond the local galaxies, they detected 10,000 primordial galaxies in an area of roughly 11 square minutes. Astronomers call the photo the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF). Here is a you-tube video that starts with local galaxies and zooms into a dark spot until you see a low resolution version of the HUDF.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCkc4GJkuo4

During the summer of 2009, astronauts reconditioned Hubble and installed the Wide field Camera (WFC3). The new camera is sensitive to near infrared, visible and ultra violet light. Infrared is long wave light; the light primordial galaxies shine in. Using the new camera, astronomers re imaged the 2004 HUDF scene. In the new photo, the primordial galaxies are fuzzier than in the old picture, because it was a two-day exposure instead of two weeks. However, galaxies in the new photo have a greater color range. In astronomical photos, the colors represent the relative frequencies of the received light. The red colors in the photo represent infrared light, which are the most distant visible galaxies in the field. The wider spectral range shows that individual primordial galaxies have different frequencies (colors) within the same galaxy. The galactic cores often have vastly different colors than the budding spiral arms.

Here are two galaxies from the new HUDF image. The one on the left is HUDF #3180. We see that the core of this budding spiral galaxy shines in longer waves than the distinct blue, star clusters that evidently are accelerating outward. The left galaxy in this image is HUDF #4801 a galaxy that is shooting out a bright, straight, red jet. The jet is interrupted periodically, so that the emerging matter is divided into discrete globs. Again we see that the emerging matter has a redder color (lower light frequencies) than the core of the primordial galaxy.

Astronomers claim that they imaged some infrared galaxies in the new photo as they looked 600 million years after the Big Bang. How do scientists come up with mathematical ideas like the Big Bang? All complex theories are built on simpler ideas. The simplest idea in the scientific system is the notion that the properties of matter are fixed, not emerging. Scientists never question this idea, since it is the historical basis for their definitions, ways of measuring their definitions and their mathematical ways of manipulating their definitions. The scientific definitions of matter and time were constructed on the elementary assumption that the properties of matter are not changing relationally throughout cosmic history. This idea was invented by a pagan Greek.

Biblical physics is based on the diametrically opposite principle: that the whole creation is phthora - fundamentally changing. The evidence for biblical physics in the HUDF is overwhelming. We can visually compare galaxies at different ranges (eras) and notice how atomic clocks accelerate (blue shift) throughout cosmic history. When we compare ancient galaxies with local ones, we see that the galaxies grew, the stars accelerating outward, rotating around and spreading out to take up more volume. Visually, we see that the atomic clocks and galactic orbits accelerated together as billions of galaxies grew into huge growth spirals. The Bible repeatedly states that God is spreading out the heavens in unbroken continuity. He is the God who calls the stars to come out continually. He even placed the Sun, Moon and stars in the raqiya, the spreading out place. Carefully test the elementary assumption upon which Western science was constructed. It is the notion that the properties of matter are fixed, not emerging.
