Is the universe figure out able

My goal is to help you learn about science so you can understand the universe even if you never went to a science class. I figure out how to explain things without you having to take the time and struggle to search for answers on your own.

Marie Forleo has a #1 New York bestseller book called Everything is Figureoutable. I use that way of thinking to figure out how the universe works.

When I built my house the contractor for the landscaping said there are 3 kinds of people. The ones who think too much, ones who ask too much and ones who figure out too much.

Follow me as I imagine and figure out how the universe works. It’s a remarkable thing when everything is explained in agreement with the nature of things.

The Method of Creation

Looking back my vision is 20/20 and looking forward I have a vision in 2020. My vision comes from an unknown place that seems to answer the questions I ask.

Remember the book Conversations with God? Neale Donald Walsch would ask questions and God would answer him. Well, I’m not like that…

It takes me a long time pondering the question but the answer comes in pieces while daydreaming, thinking about it or during the writing experience of it.

I don’t have a simple answer but I believe that meditation has helped me to understand that there is a higher power and a higher self-involved in our life.

Is This All There Is

When I was a young teenager I looked up at the night sky in wonder at the immensity of the universe.

I remember seeing the movie Alfie and the song in that movie was “What’s it all about Alfie, is it just for the moment we live”.

That thought has been on my mind all my life, “Is this all there is, then let’s keep on dancing” sang Peggy Lee.

Remember that scene in the movie Titanic when the ship is sinking and the musicians decided to keep on playing even when they were sinking.

Do you contemplate about life and the nature of the universe? I do…

When you’re young it takes a backseat to life but when you get into the 50’s it really starts to awaken you somehow.

The Big Bang Start

The universe started at the Big bang event which is a well-known thing but when I was young I had no knowledge of the universe.

Now there is enough information that everyone has become an expert. Just google Quora.com and see the experts talking.

When people only have parts of the truth they fill in the missing parts with lots of bull s***.

Don’t get me wrong I have to watch myself also because I have made my share of s***.

Welcome to my world where I work on this big bang story every day. Each episode of new science leads me closer to my truth of the universe.

I know that the ultimate truth has to make sense of life and logic of the universe. Next step…

A Dimension of Mind

The universe looks more and more like a great thought than a thing. Sir James Jean

I have written many times about consciousness and God. I believe we must realize that the universe was a creation by a consciousness that is part of us. Read does god exist.

The mind is a nonphysical thing and nothing can be made without a mind or without a desire and a plan.

This mind exists in a nonphysical dimension and we can tap into this mind.

Call it your higher self or the power of thought but it’s more real than anything you can see or touch.

How To Think

The sad truth is that we have been taught what to think but not how to think.

We are losing the ability to think with our mind instead we use our brain to regurgitate the stuff that was taught us.

Think about that for a moment… You can be the smartest person in your school and still ignore the beautiful mind that is accessible to you.

Einstein said it like this, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”

How to Think method

The law of attraction is famous in books like The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

The Law of Attraction is a universal law like gravity, because, like attracts like, matter attracts matter.

We have learned lots of knowledge but not how to use it.

Our mind constantly creates thoughts and these thoughts attract similar thoughts.

Thoughts are things so we get the things that we think about! In this way, we are creating our life with our thoughts. Be careful of your thoughts.

Now that we understand this principle, how can we use it to create the life we desire?

Yes, we must control our thoughts!

When we use the Law of Attraction on purpose it becomes a law of creation.

We can manifest our thoughts into things that we desire by using the How to Think method.

Then we can call this law the Law of Creation and manifest the things we desire into existence.

That means the Law of Attraction, using the How to Think way equals the Law of Creation.

7 Steps of Creation

Step 1. You will have a talk with yourself, with your body and your mind.

Make it feel like magic but this isn’t some metaphysical idea, this is quantum physics which has been proven scientifically to work, that your mind creates the outcome of your thoughts.

Calm your mind by using mindfulness or meditation and use your intent to create.

Start by following your breath as you sit quietly alone.

Find out what you desire and then ask for it in a How to Think way.

Step 2. Fully surrender to the present ‘now’ moment.

Surrender gives you an awareness of the spiritual part of you that is powerful.

Don’t struggle, accept what is in your present situation and just change your thoughts, then your words.

The magic happens when you ask questions and write down your request, by using the correct words and speak it so your ears will hear your desire.

Step 3. Remove all your negative words such as, want, need, hope, pray, try, lack, fight, not, don’t, won’t, can’t, etc…  Some of them are your favorite words?

And replace them with, desire, create, I will, I am, I do, manifest, trust, abundance, allow love, intuition, etc..

The correct use of words is the only way to create your desires, otherwise, you are creating the opposite of what you desire.

The universal mind allows a negative or positive outcome if you say I want or say I don’t want it’s the same thing to the Universe.

The Universal Laws just gives you what the thought looks like as in a picture.

If you say, “I want to win the lottery” it gives you wanting to win the lottery.

If you say I hope to heal my health it gives you more hoping and praying.

Use your freedom of choice and think in the right way.

Step 4. Write down your goals using the right words.

Remember ‘now’ is the only time we have or will ever have so write in the present tense as if you already have what you desire.

For instance, I am grateful for my health that allows me to help others.

I am becoming better and better each day.

Step 5. Use pictures such as a vision board and use vivid descriptions to describe the goal.

Our mind thinks in pictures so if I say don’t think of a pink elephant there is no picture for ‘do not’ so you get ‘think’ of a pink elephant.

Be emotional and imagine how it feels having your goal.

Be happy and use gratitude for manifesting.

Repeat your goal many times a day as if you already have it ‘now’.

Step 6. Allow the goal to come to you in its own way and at the right time.

To do this you let go of control and trust that it comes to you in the best way that is meant for you by allowing it to manifest at the right time and in the right way.

Step 7. Be honest and true to yourself.

At all times respect everyone and whenever you get the chance, nurture others on their path.

Be grateful for the How to Think way that creates with the Law of Attraction.

The only constant in our lives and in the Universe is change.

Nothing stands still, either you go towards your goals or away from them.

Observe which way you are going and make course corrections if needed.

When you take risks, you open your life to new experiences and new goals by using the process of words and actions.

If you play it safe you take the biggest risk of all by never getting anything you desire.

You will end up wishing and wanting your life to change and later saying what if I would have done this or that… Start creating…

Start Creating Now

I started off by explaining how I figure things out and I ended up explaining how to think and how to use the law of attraction.

I ‘hope’ Marie Forleo doesn’t ‘mind’ that I used her new word “figureoutable” to help me explain my thinking process.

By the way, you should all watch Marie TV for many more awesome ideas the link is here.

Shape of the Universe in a Nutshell

The expanding universe has been around since the beginning of time but scientists including  Stephen Hawking say there’s an urgency about how fast it’s accelerating in size. Some of the questions people are asking are, what is the universe expanding into? What is the shape of the universe and is it staying in the same shape as it expands? Will the universe expand to infinity and disappear? How fast is the speed of expansion? 

Size of our Nutshell

To speak about an expanding universe brings to mind a picture of a larger size than it is currently. Is the universe increasing uniformly and keeping the same shape that the universe has now? What is the shape of the universe? 

To understand the shape of our Universe let’s first understand the size of the universe. The common answers suggest that the universe is infinite in size and it sure seems that way. 

When you see how many galaxies, stars, and planets exist in our observable universe it looks enormous and certainly infinite to us. 

But the size is relative to what? To another universe or to another dimension? Take an ant colony and they would think a small island in the Pacific is infinite.

Early people thought Earth was infinite and the center of the universe, however, ask yourself where did the Earth come from? 

The best answer is that it came from a Big bang event in less than a fraction of a second. That is amazing but let’s stay focused on the size. 

The Size of the Big Bang

Since the universe is only 13.8 billion years old and it came from a single Big bang event that was a certain size. Therefore, we can’t say that anything in the universe is infinite. 

The total amount of energy remains the same even if it changes into stars, black holes, and dark matter. Also, it has a birth so it’s not eternal. It will have an ending as all births do.

In mathematics, numbers can easily run into infinite amounts because we can’t imagine large numbers such as 10^23 particles. We are like ants on an island thinking that everything is infinite.

Consider this, if you could count how many atoms exist in the Earth or the planets you would say there’s an infinite amount. Imagine how many atoms in our galaxy and then in the entire universe.

It doesn’t matter how many atoms exist, the fact is that there is a certain amount and after that, there are no more, namely; it’s not an infinite amount. 

In the same way, the universe is not infinite because it’s expanding. An infinite size can’t be bigger than yesterday and again bigger tomorrow. 

The truth is we live in a finite universe and in this universe nothing is infinite. If you want to know the size of infinity read my article and about the size of God.

The Shape of our Nutshell

Cosmologists believe that the universe is one of these possible shapes- open, closed or flat. Let’s examine each one and see what it might look like.

The Flat Universe: 

The current belief is that the universe is flat and that it will expand into infinity. 

The common description of the Big bang is displayed like a flat timeline where 2 parallel lines stretch into infinity and never meet. As in this Euclidean model. 

[Results of the Planck mission released in 2015 show the cosmological curvature parameter, to be 0.000±0.005, consistent with a flat universe]

This model raises a red flag to me because of the infinity description. I realize the current model of the universe looks flat according to the information obtained from (WMAP, BOOMERanG, and Planck). 

They confirm that the universe is flat with only a 0.4% margin of error. They did this by measuring the angles and distances to faraway stars and found that the triangle measured exactly 180 degrees. 

However, my take on this is suspicious. Remember when they tried to pull the wool over our eyes saying that the Earth was flat? How did that turn out? Apologies to the flat world- people. 

The Open Shape

This is like a saddle shape with negative curvature. Measuring angles to distant points makes a triangle of less than 180 degrees. Many favor this shape because it allows the universe to expand at an accelerating rate which is what we notice. 

The saddle shape is hyperbolic geometry where two points don’t join into a straight line. 

The Closed Shape  

This is a positive curvature space like a sphere where a triangle between 3 points adds up to more than 180 degrees. 

In this non-euclidean shape, 2 parallel lines will intersect each other. This is the shape of all the stars and planets because the gravitational power will force objects into a sphere. 

The Nonphysical Shape of Space

Space is the container of the universe but it’s a nonphysical thing that allows the motion of matter to move within it.

The problem with the 3 types of shapes outlined above is that they are physical models of a nonphysical substance. 

What I mean is that light travels in straight lines unless acted upon by a strong field of gravity.

Doesn’t light travel in straight lines from point A to point B? That means all these 3 shapes will give a value of 180 degrees.

In this drawing below, light travels in straight lines to our telescope. Why would light travel in the shape of the universe instead of straight lines?

Drawing shows that light from distant stars in a sphere shape universe travels in straight lines to our telescope making 180-degree triangles.

Any experiment viewing angles to distant stars will always give 180 degrees making these types of results inconclusive. 

New data of the CMB posted on November 04th, 2019 suggests that the universe is a sphere and not flat as believed. https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-shape-is-the-universe-closed-or-flat-20191104/ 

Finally, some logical evidence that shows the universe is a sphere shape such as I have envisioned. 

The Dimension Problem 

The incorrect view that scientists have is that they are only thinking of one dimension, namely the 3rd Dimension. 

They must think in terms of 4 physical dimensions because a one dimension universe doesn’t make sense.

Dark matter and dark energy are creating a lot of unsolved problems for a one-dimensional universe. 

The amount of time, energy and money that has been spent on finding dark matter in the 3rd dimension is phenomenal. 

The logical explanation is that dark matter is in another dimension. This is a parallel dimension that allows us to feel the effects of gravity from the other dimension. 

Stephen Hawking explained this effect in his book The Universe in a Nutshell at the last few pages from pages 180 to 200. 

The matter falls into black holes and emerges into a higher dimension as dark matter.

On March 14th, 2018 Stephen Hawking died but a few months before that he published a book with the help of Thomas Hertog. 

The new proposal says there is a boundary to the universe and that a possible multiverse universe exists. Finally, the universe would fade into darkness as the stars run out of energy.

Hertog plans to test this by looking for gravitational waves that could have come from the Big bang proving an eternal inflation. 

These ideas are a bit similar to my idea of 4 physical dimensions. The big difference is that I explain where dark matter is and how it got there. 

Furthermore, my theory doesn’t end in a whimper like Hawking’s but in a Big Bang that sends all the energy back to the source of the Big bang. 

Because we are living inside these dimensions we don’t see the movement of energy into other dimensions. 

However, our dimension only has about 5% left of the total energy/matter in the universe. The other 95% is dark matter/energy that has moved into higher dimensions.

The Shape of the Multiverse

The theory of inflation has been the best model of the universe so far. The analogy of a balloon is the easiest way to describe inflation.

The balloon analogy of inflation – the expanding universe.

We have all seen a birthday balloon being inflated. At first, the letters are too close together to read until the balloon expands, then the letters move apart from each other and we see it says happy birthday. 

Now imagine that as it continues to expand it moves into another level, another dimension. It becomes another larger balloon that keeps on growing bigger. 

You can think of it as eternal inflation like Hawking and Hertog are suggesting. 

This is a composite view of 4 physical balloon-shaped dimensions expanding larger.

Each balloon dimension expands into the next larger balloon until all the matter and energy are in the 6th dimension. 

The parallel antimatter dimension also expands to the 6th dimension where some kind of quantum fluctuation happens. 

The dimensions annihilate each other sending all the energy back to the source where it came from. The law of conservation of energy is fulfilled at the final moment.

The energy flow of matter and antimatter from the Big bang to a final Big bang.

Key Takeaways: 

The size of the universe is finite and about 13.8 billion years old. So, nothing is infinite inside the universe.

The shape of our nutshell universe is a sphere that is expanding into a larger sphere.

The large nutshell contains 4 physical dimensions that are separated by a membrane, just like Stephen Hawking describes in his book The Universe in a Nutshell.

The balloon analogy describes the action of inflation.

The universe ends in a Big bang when the antimatter dimension and normal matter meet in  the 6th dimension.

This allows all the energy to go back to the source where another universe can start again.
