Cosmic whole

Because of these radically different cultures there is no incorporation of science into cosmology. An alternative is to objectively examine all scientific facts of relevance, leading to an improved understanding of the cosmic whole. The end product, as in all of science, will be riddled with uncertainty and open to re-interpretation. What is lost in dogmatic certainty will be compensated by a falsifiable model that grows with new scientific insight. 

From any point of view, be it magic, religion or science, there is consensus about the splendid nature of the cosmic whole. One man s divine plan is another s magical harmony or consilience among the laws of Nature. Unity of knowledge about the natural world is not in dispute. The most striking manifestation of this unity occurs as self-similarity across all levels of observation, from the infinitesimally small to the astronomically large. 

Synthesis of these notions leads to an alternative cosmology that has little in common with the standard model. It may not have the same dogmatic appeal as the big bang, but it unifies a growing body of discordant empirical evidence, based on all the matter and energy in the universe, the Copernican principle and sound mathematics, without singularities. It has the potential directly to address the basic notions of chirality, astronomical anomalies, holistic self-similarity and other cosmological puzzles, such as Zwicky s paradox, in addition to traditional celestial mechanics. In effect, it calls for the re-examination and re-interpretation of the cosmic whole. 

More recently Andrews and Juzeliunas [6, 7] developed a unified tlieory that embraces botli radiationless (Forster) and long-range radiative energy transfer. In otlier words tliis tlieory is valid over tire whole span of distances ranging from tliose which characterize molecular stmcture (nanometres) up to cosmic distances. It also addresses tire intennediate range where neitlier tire radiative nor tire Forster mechanism is fully valid. Below is tlieir expression for tire rate of pairwise energy transfer w from donor to acceptor, applicable to transfer in systems where tire donor and acceptor are embedded in a transparent medium of refractive index ...

The instrument MIMOS 11 is extremely miniaturized compared to standard laboratory Mossbauer spectrometers and is optimized for low power consumption and high detection efficiency (see Sect. 3.3) and [326, 327, 336-339]. All components were selected to withstand high acceleration forces and shocks, temperature variations over the Martian diurnal cycle, and cosmic ray irradiation. Mossbauer measurements can be done during day and night covering the whole diurnal temperature... 

The universe is dissymmetrical for if the whole of the bodies which compose the solar system were placed before a glass moving with their individual movements, the image in the glass could not be superimposed on reality. Life is dominated by dissymmetrical actions. I can foresee that all living species are primordially, in their structure, in their external forms, functions of cosmic dissymmetry. 

In Briah, polar opposition first appears as cosmic day and night, expansion and contraction, force and form, and a whole host of opposing yet complementary aspects. All are necessary for dynamic existence, for movement, alternation, and progression. These principles embody and express the spiritual laws of rhythm and polarity. 

So long as we have not become aware that the presence of God is a space, encompassing the whole of reality just as the three-dimensional space does, so long as we conceive the world of God only as the upper story of the cosmic space, so long will God s activity, too, always be a force which affects earthly events only from above. 

In Chapter 1 and again above, we introduced the cosmochemical classification of elements based on their relative volatilities in a system of cosmic (solar) composition. In a cooling solar gas, elements condense in a certain order, depending on their volatility (Table 7.1). Condensation and evaporation partition elements between coexisting gas and solid (or liquid) phases, and the removal of one or the other of these phases can fractionate element abundances of the system as a whole from their original cosmic relative proportions. 

During these years Ya.B. made important contributions to a whole series of the above trends. In 1952 he formulated the law of nuclear (baryon) charge conservation [4 ], extending it to the unstable particles recently discovered in cosmic radiation and subsequently called strange particles. 

This is a brief sketch of the way one s whole lifetime in a "normal" d-SoC can be a state of samsara. I cannot yet write more about it. I recommend Pearce s book, Exploring the Crack in the Cosmic Egg 50, for a brilliant analysis of the way our culture can trap us in its consensus reality, even when we believe we are rebelling. 

C-14 dating was discovered by Libby11 and co-worker [2], The cosmic ray flux has been fairly constant over prehistoric and current time and provides a small but almost constant supply of 6C14, at a rate averaged over the whole atmosphere of about 2.2 atoms cm-2 s 1. The radioactive 6C14 will bind to oxygen in the atmosphere to form radioactive carbon dioxide, but will decay, with a half-life fi/2 = 5730 years, by emitting an electron (or "fj ray") and an electron antineutrino ... 

There were times on our planet when the barren dryness of uninhabited continents sharply contrasted with the densely populated sea. The continental lithosphere was then essentially represented by rock surfaces of different types. Sedimentary rocks were rare, if not absent. As rock materials became exposed to the subaerial environment at the Earth s surface, they encountered a whole range of environmental challenges such as temperature fluctuations, water, unbuffered cosmic and solar irradiation and atmospheric gases and solids instead of dissolved species. These influences resulted in rocks undergoing alterations in material properties leading to erosion and breakdown into ever-smaller particles and constituent minerals, formation of sandy sediments, and mineral soils (Ehrlich, 1996). Primordial terrestrial environments can therefore be visualized as a freshly exposed and only slightly physically pre-weathered rock surface. 

X-rays, gamma, and cosmic rays are similar except for the fact that gamma and cosmic rays are natural. They ionize matter by photoelectric effect, Compton effect, and pair production (electron and positron). These radiations are of very high energy and therefore more penetrating. They cause injury to the tissues of the whole body. Therefore, they are more damaging to the living tissues.
