Anthropic Universe a Flawed Speculation
There was an article about something called the Anthropic Universe is an old Newsweek magazine I found in my Doctor's office. I didn't get a chance to really read it before my number came up. I did glance over the article and it seemed like so much BS. Where did this notion come from? J |

The notion of a designer is not a necessary corollary of the "strong" or teleological anthropic principle, but usually seems to comes along for the ride anyway. Some writers discuss a "weak anthropic principle", which IMO is much more reasonable but at the same time somewhat tautological: it says that it is only to be expected that we should find the laws of nature favourable to the development of sentient life, because if they were otherwise we wouldn't be here to study them. When you've got a sample of only one (of however many possible universes) it's not amenable to statistical analysis. -- Odysseus |

The nightbat " Continuing Universe Rule " doesn't affirm or deny designer Deity or sci-fi rhetoric of multiverse, it expedient leaves it to the observer per previous disclosed premise to further grasp it under logical deducement. There is only one observable universe with nightbat postulate providing many many " Black Comet " evolving galaxies permitting the self governing Nature versus based anthropic principle while allowing for sentient seminal life to form under our own particular, viable, physical, referenceable, statistical, testable, analyzable, galaxy one. For some close insight into a Gforce quantum theory and oc's flow premise See:http://quantumaetherdynamics.com/ Try to remember to take an objective observers viewpoint. Be careful not to get overwhelmed by the depth of site presentation. Nightbat does not endorse nor condemn said particular referred link content. Referred link is only for possible post topic interest only. the nightbat |

From Nightbat:
For some close insight into a Gforce quantum theory and oc's flow premise See:http://quantumaetherdynamics.com The author displays an acute awareness of the reality of the spatial medium. But sadly he reverts to using the archaic term 'aether', thereby shooting himself in the foot, putting to sleep his credibility and branding himself with the scarlet letter of crankhood. Also he doesn't appear to stress the sub-Planck *energy densty* of the medium and the 'dustbunny' status of matter by comparison. And he doesn't seem particularly aware of the flowing-space model of gravity. Otherwise it's a very cogent presentation. oc |

Wao. Spoke too soon. A re-reading shows the guy *is* aware of the
flowing-space model of gravity, which he touches on briefly in his 'Predictions' chapter. Very cursory though. oc |

Very cursory though. oc nightbat Yes oc, and that it mentions it is important. Also it depicts your friend Wolter's Toroidal vortex (donut) model by Jon Lomberg artist at bottom of the page of this inner first site link. Including artist depiction of bipolar emission of plasma jets at center of galaxy, in second link. See: http://quantumaetherdynamics.com/4.htm Also see: http://www.jonlomberg.com/ I agree, a very well done presentation and close to my model but still their lacking in very important distinguishing points as in yours. Will writers Donald Goldsmith and Tobias Owen include nightbat's pointed Halo bacteria in the third edition book on The Search for Life in The Universe? Should they call I'll let you know oc, even though Bert likes Botulism as his first life choice, my disclosed research Halo wins hands down. later oc, the nightbat |

From Nightbat:
Also it depicts your friend Wolter's Toroidal vortex (donut) model by Jon Lomberg artist at bottom of the page of this inner first site link. Yes, Lomberg's illustration depicts a big donut with a hole in the middle, with what looks to be lumpings of superclusters interspersed throughout the 'donut'. To bring it more in line with Wolter's model, the central 'hole' does not penetrate clear thru, but converges down to a single point. This point is spinning and bipolar, intaking thru its poles and ejecting out its equator. Wolter called this central 'Engine' the Primal Particle (PP), and it is the centerpiece of his Continuous BB (CBB) model of the universe. The PP powers and sustains the toroidally-shaped Process. The toroid itself, like all rotating systems, has two hemispheres, a common equator, and a polar axis (picture two frisbees joined back to back with a BBQ skewer thru the poles). As the spinning 'Engine' erupts brand-new spacetime out its equator (with matter tagging along for the ride), it expands into the two hemispheres, with the 'N' hemisphere rolling upward, and the 'S' hemisphere rolling down.. eventually to be re-ingested back into one of the poles of the 'Engine'. And get this- the sphere of our visible cosmos would be on the scale of a marble embedded in a breakfast donut, somewhere in the periphery of said donut (no telling whether we're in the 'N' or 'S' hemisphere though). The concept of a 'singular BB' event is perfectly valid from the standpoint _within our visible cosmos_ . But from the 'outside' referance frame, the 'singular BB' is subsumed by the overarching, continuous Process.. like the freon cycle in Zinni's fridge. Heh. The central 'Engine' would account for the "missing mass" of the universe, and would be ('way more than) sufficiently massve to gravitationally close the universe. Wolter deemed the aforementioned toroid to be the most primal form in nature, from which all else 'fractalizes' and evolves. He believed it to be the actual form of the macro-universe (coining the term 'Megagalactic' to describe it). All in all, Lomberg et al. seem to have made pretty good inroads to the same vision Wolter had. Plus, they have 'credentialed' status behind them. oc |
