PARTS

Part 0203 - Moment Zero Dimensions

ARGUMENT 0203-02

• CURRENT PARADIGM:     The observable universe is a spherical region of the Universe comprising all matter that may be observed from Earth at the present time, because light and other signals from these objects have had time to reach Earth since the beginning of the cosmological expansion. There are at least two trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Assuming the universe is isotropic, the distance to the edge of the observable universe is roughly the same in every direction. That is, the observable universe is a spherical volume (a ball) centered on the observer. Every location in the Universe has its own observable universe, which may or may not overlap with the one centered on Earth.     .....     Some parts of the Universe are too far away for the light emitted since the Big Bang to have had enough time to reach Earth, so these portions of the Universe lie outside the observable universe.

• 0201-01:   That the Universe had a Moment Zero which was when its current expansion began.
• 0203-01:   That the diameter of the visible Universe at Moment Zero, as deduced through a profiling exercise, is 464,159 lightyears. 

• Chapter 06 - Photons

• Observations of the Universe are principally made by photon capture and interpretation. 
• The oldest photons in the Universe are believed to be those of the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR).
  
• Photons cannot exceed lightspeed.

• Because photons cannot exceed lightspeed, our ability to detect them on Earth depends on these factors:

• their age.
• the location of their creation point. 
• any distortions from straight line travel due to gravitational interactions.
• any accelerations or decelerations due to interactions with matter.

•  Arising from these factors, our observations of the CBR present two options:

• OPTION 1:  The diameter of the whole Universe is larger than the diameter of the observable Universe. 
• OPTION 2:  The diameter of the whole Universe is smaller than the diameter of the observable Universe.

• Option 1 is preferred.

• The diameter of the whole Universe is larger than the diameter of the observable Universe.
