This is from a post I made at WUP forums. I will link it at the end.

Not trying to boast but I realize things that most people don't.

Ok, this is related to cosmology and astrophysics. For those of you who don't know: Light travels at a certain speed which is around 186,000 miles per SECOND not hour. Even at that speed it takes it around 8 minutes to go from our sun to our earth. We are always seeing things in the past (physicist say this not me). The farther something is the farther in the past we are seeing it. So we are seeing the sun as it looked 8 minutes ago.

Now, this is where this law of physics gets interesting: Andromeda is our closest neighbor galaxy and its about 2 million light years away, in other words, we see it as it looked 2 million years ago. BUT... not only as it looked 2 million years ago but also where it was 2 million years ago. why? because scientist say that andromeda is headed in a collision course with our galaxy 'the milky way'. so maybe its a lot closer than we think.

This is a news article from today. I will continue my commentary afterwards

A cosmic exclamation point



VV 340, also known as Arp 302, provides a textbook example of colliding galaxies seen in the early stages of their interaction. The edge-on galaxy near the top of the image is VV 340 North and the face-on galaxy at the bottom of the image is VV 340 South. Millions of years later these two spirals will merge -- much like the Milky Way and Andromeda will likely do billions of years from now. Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (purple) are shown here along with optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope (red, green, blue). VV 340 is located about 450 million light years from Earth.

Now, here is another crazy thought of mines. If andromeda is moving toward us, shouldn't we see at least two versions of it when we look up in the sky? the one from 2 million years ago and a more recent version, because the recent version is also emitting light towards us and is closer.

A couple of days ago there was another news article about scientist trying to investigate a new theory about the cosmos. That our universe is inside a bubble (they dont know what the bubble is made out of) and that there are other bubbles in the infinite void with other universes inside and those bubbles are bumping into our bubble. To me this is just the goverments trying to keep people from thinking to much so they invent these crazy theories.

this is the news article here: http://uk.ibtimes.com/articles/192147/20110804/bubble-universes-and-multiverse-theory-tested-by-scientists.htm

THIS IS THE REAL TRUTH: Einstein is in another part/time of the universe. The past never ceases to exist it only move to a different time in the universe. Einstein himself said that reality is an illusion.

Anything you can imagine with your mind is possible (you just have to know how your mind works, see my signature). everything that you saw in the matrix is possible. artificial intelligence is real. levitation and flying is real. anti-aging is real. Life is but a dream, so row, row, row your boat...

WAKE UP! and get out there and dream....

hopefully one day we'll meet...

here is one of my replies to the replies from other people on that thread

Edit: to all you who love ridicule and jokes: you must not have read another post of mine in which I declared that spiritual people are serious, the unspiritual love laughter, ridicule, and jokes.

I will watch the vid, but I also wanted to say in my original post that time-travel is also real (if we are moving fast enough)

coincidentally it appears that time (destiny, fate, the cosmos) agrees with me and has come to my rescue. Here is a news article from today. Read it ALL and notice how they say that "gravity is not real" but rather an illusion.

A photon’s point of view


If you could include the dimension of time in this picture you might get a rough idea of why things appear to accelerate towards a massive object - even though they do not themselves experience any acceleration.

From a photon’s point of view, it is emitted and then instantaneously reabsorbed. This is true for a photon emitted in the core of the Sun, which might be reabsorbed after crossing a fraction of a millimetre’s distance. And it is equally true for a photon that, from our point of view, has travelled for over 13 billion years after being emitted from the surface of one of the universe’s first stars.

So it seems that not only does a photon not experience the passage of time, it does not experience the passage of distance either. But since you can’t move a massless consciousness at the speed of light in a vacuum, the real point of this thought experiment is to indicate that time and distance are just two apparently different aspects of the same thing.

If we attempt to achieve the speed of light, our clocks will slow relative to our point of origin and we will arrive at our destination quicker that we anticipate that we should – as though both the travel time and the distance have contracted.

Similarly, as we approach the surface of a massive object, our clocks will slow relative to a point of higher altitude – and we will arrive at the surface quicker than we might anticipate, as though time and distance contract progressively as we approach the surface.

Again, time and distance are just two aspects of the same thing, space-time, but we struggle to visualise this. We have evolved to see the world in snapshot moments, perhaps because a failure to scan the environment with every step we take might leave us open to attack by a predator.

Science advocates and skeptics say that we should accept the reality of evolution in the same way that we accept the reality of gravity – but actually this is a terrible analogy. Gravity is not real, it’s just our dumbed-down interpretation of space-time curvature.

Astronauts moving at a constant velocity through empty space feel weightless. Put a planet in their line of trajectory and they will continue to feel weightless right up until the moment they collide with its surface.

A person on the surface will watch them steadily accelerate from high altitude until that moment of collision. But such doomed astronauts will not themselves experience any such change to their velocity. After all, if they were accelerating, surely they would be pushed back into their seat as a consequence.

Nonetheless, the observer on the planet’s surface is not suffering from an optical illusion when they perceive a falling spacecraft accelerate. It’s just that they fail to acknowledge their particular context of having evolved on the surface of a massive object, where space-time is all scrunched up.

So they see the spacecraft move from an altitude where distance and time (i.e. space-time) is relatively smooth – down to the surface, where space-time (from the point of view of a high altitude observer) is relatively scrunched up. A surface dweller hence perceives that a falling object is experiencing acceleration and wrongly assumes that there must be a force involved.

As for evolution – there are fossils, vestigial organs and mitochondrial DNA. Get real.

Footnote: If you were falling into a black hole you would still not experience acceleration. However, your physical structure would be required to conform to the extremely scrunched up space-time that you move through – and spaghettification would result.

SO BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS 'POINT OF VIEW', WHAT YOU DECIDE TO BELIEVE
