Physical Law of Science

2020-01-15T10:08:00.002+08:00

Though humanity have not fully understand our universe as it is, but we know that the Universe is run by a set of laws, which scientist visualises using mathematical formulas and experimentation. Without the laws and rules of mathematical formulas, Newton’s theory of gravitation would have been just “Planets attract each other.” That is not a theory that could get man to the moon. Thus Newton developed calculus formulas which dealt with speed, position, and acceleration. Galileo said that the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics. Mathematicians formulated the mathematical equation Einstein needed for general relativity and warped space, before he even made his discovery. The same thing happened with string theory. Mathematicians developed much of the formulas before physicists could progress further on their discoveries into the scientific world.

The scientific brain in me highlighted a fact, that unless there exist a logical intelligence behind it, how am I going to explain the way our universe work? Everywhere we look: from the arrangement of our solar system, to the construction of the tiniest components of every living cell — we see the inescapable signs of that amazing intelligence encoded within them. How can one account for the high level of sophistication and the logical purposes that seems to underlie every single aspect of its great order. Without these natural laws and logic which rules the entire universe, there will be a total breakdown of order in that vast expanse of space.

This bewildering universe seems to follow Mathematical Laws or Rules to the smallest details which the Bible said “God through his word spoke and they were created”.

The famous Fibonacci Sequence has captivated mathematicians, artists, designers, and scientists for centuries. Also known as the Golden Ratio (1.618034) or series of numbers from 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and so on into infinity, whereby each number is the sum of the previous two. The fact of this ratio being found everywhere in nature or of being very common and it’s functionality in nature, suggests its importance as a fundamental characteristic of the Universe.

The concept of a divine law giver and creator, who make the pioneers of science to understand and expect law and regularity in nature has been largely overlook!

Many also see theism as an outdated model that will eventually collapse in the face of scientific progress, denying or forgetting that all of nature and the universe was created by this Intelligent Force. And the “Multiverse Concept”, motivated by “String Theory”, is sometimes seen as the weapon that will deal God his death blow.

There is no basis for any intelligent men who have everything under their control, to want to believe that there is indeed a hand behind all that science have to say about.

Intelligence or coincidence ?

Scientist are formulating theories that points to the action of a force that governs everything. Some respected scientists however are causing quite a stir in the scientific circle with claims to definitively proving that a higher force exists. They are also believing that the world we live in are made by rules created by an intelligence and not by random forces.

However, although realising the intelligence which existed in the Universe, through science and it’s discoveries, many scientists still choose to believe in Pantheism and rejects the idea that there is a single “Sovereign God” with an individual personality. They choose to believe that we live in an intelligent universe which have a self-contained intelligence that is capable of introducing and implementing its own intelligent physical laws and to self-govern as well as determine its orderly structure and evolutionary processes.

In has been a constant quest of men throughout history to rise above the heaven. These attempts by men to find the key for unlocking the secrets of the universe , where will it lead to? Will mankind‘s ambitions create a catastrophe for the universe at large like in the movies?

Or could it be, that mankind is moving into a higher level of consciousness for a greater purpose? Could it be that the “Hands” of this Intelligent Force is in the process of opening the gateway and unsealing prophecies in order to fulfill the words in the Bible that man are discovering?

Law and it’s Purposes

Theology and science were never good bedfellows — until recently. Science may eventually cross path with the spiritual existence in their search to the logic of the world at large. Based on Biblical teachings and what we are observing, I believe mankind are discovering the spiritual essence and experiencing a spiritual awakening into an ever-increasing awareness of the spiritual energy of nature through science.

Using science, it appears that NOW we can explain how we can relate with God, through our thoughts. The frequency or vibrations of our thoughts is the key language of the universe. This gift is given in the form of prayers and God sends us back exactly what we are asking for and we can recognise this within the “Theory of Quantum Physics”.

The Creator God of our Universe is a Law Maker ! Observations and sciences shows we live in a world which is run in a very orderly manner. Classical physics propose a physical world of orderliness and of predictable patterns which reacts in a deterministic manner. However it soon became evident that classical laws of physics were not applicable within the subatomic world, but it was felt that, somewhere within the chaos of the subatomic realm, there might be a set of hidden laws that could describe the weird events that took place there.

Things do not change without reason. Measurements agree day-to-day, century-to-century all over the earth and the universe, although they were carried out by different scientists. When measurements do change, the change is orderly and predictable using mathematical theory.

This seems to be the truth until the discovery of Quantum Physics came along. Our traditional concepts of time, space, objects, trajectories and causality do not apply at the microphysical level. Those traditional concepts are conventions scientist use to understand the macrocosmic world at large. They are no longer relevant at the microscopic “quantum level” of reality.

Lawlessness and chaos reigns at the subatomic level, however at the macroscopic level there is perfect physical law and order. And that is the way nature works, according to modern scientific theories.

As Jesus says, “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 18:18)

Matthew 18:18 implies that the spiritual dimension and physical dimensions are interconnected. There is a constant war going on within the spiritual and physical dimension. After eating the forbidden fruit of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, The eyes of Adam and Eve were opened, evil seeps into human nature as a result as the devil continue to throw his influence over mankind . Eternity ended and time became a boundary between the physical and spiritual dimension. Time was set into motion when Adam and Eve sin.

Prisoner of Time – Lawlessness, Sin and the Matrix

Lawlessness and chaos reigns on Earth as well, then Moses received the Law on Mount Sinai. God’s Law Reveals Our Sin: -

Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.” But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power. At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life, and I died. So I discovered that the law’s commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead. Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me. But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right and good. But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death? Of course not! Sin used what was good to bring about my condemnation to death. So we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God’s good commands for its own evil purposes. (Romans 7:7-13)

In Genesis chapter 3, we have seen the consequences of Adam and Eve breaking the commandment given to them, not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan lured them into sinning against God through disobedience and greed. In chapter 4 we saw the consequence of sin through the story of Cain and Able. Both brothers offered a sacrifice, God was pleased with Able and Cain’s response was to kill Able (Genesis 4).

Genesis 6:1-6, reveal about how the angels came down to earth and corrupted the human race, and the earth became filled with great wickedness. This is when the human genetics were corrupted. Do you know, it grieved God ? I would, if someone had corrupted my work of art too. And God sent a great flood to destroy the great evil which was in the world during Noah’s time.

When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. (Genesis 6:1-6)

God planned to restore order and destroy the power of chaos. Jesus said it in John 8:32 ‘the truth will set you free’. Then in verse 34 Jesus explains, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.” Being a slave to sin is the ultimate bondage.

The Book of Revelation describes a war in heaven between angels led by the Archangel Michael against those led by "the dragon". We also read of a war between the angels and the Princes of the world in the Book of Daniel.

"For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus." (Romans 6:7-11)

The Bible is of an ancient origins whose writers live in a supernatural world. The Unseen realm that we read in the bible is real. The Unseen Realm had baffled not just anyone of us but scientist as well. Scientists and academics have been fascinated by discoveries of quantum realities in science.

At the turn of the 20th century, scientists assumed they had uncovered all the basic fundamental laws and rules that governed our existence. It wasn’t until physicists like Max Planck, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began to study particles using newer technologies, that they discovered a whole sub-layer of physics that involved the very small, mysterious units of matter and energy. This new discovery left them bewildered and unable to fully explain the phenomena. The birth of this strange and mysterious truth of science.

In essence, quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at very small, nanoscopic levels, beginning within nuclei, atoms and molecules. Modern science declares that "quanta particles" form atoms. What makes these quanta particles so special is that they do not behave in ways according to known laws of physics, thus making them more of a series of probabilities, rather than something we can scientifically define and observe.

Under the physical world that we cannot see, even though individual subatomic events appear to occur at random, for some unknown reason, when the average of many such random events is taken, an orderly pattern is seen. Matrix mathematics reveals these orderly patterns. Quantum Theory does not tell us how individual particles within the atom behave. It cannot give us a true picture of reality within the atom. Quantum Theory does not tell us what a wave-particle look like or enable us to ascertain its exact position and momentum from matrix representations. Nobody can describe the physical appearance of a probability wave.

So we understand that quantum physics defines that everything is made up of little bits, but what is the force holding the quanta particles, atoms and molecules together? The answer is LIGHT.

"Let there be light”, was a phrase that God uses on the first day when he created light, God created light on the first day, before before all other living things. Light was essence of creation It was this light that keeps electrons tied to the nuclei of atoms, and atoms tied together to make molecules and objects. All forms of matter are actually made up of light.

Scientist however are also recognising that there is an intelligent force that controls the Universe. No one can deny that the statistical predictions of Quantum Theory are always correct, but no one is able to show why this should be so. Why should zillions of subatomic quanta in chaotic motion finally settle down into an orderly pattern that can be predicted statistically by Quantum Theory – mathematically using scientific laws?

Science is an evolving body of knowledge. The ideas and suggestions that excite us today will soon be forgotten, if they are invalidated by more persuasive or comprehensive experimental work tomorrow.

Under Field Theory, the four fundamental forces interact with one another to present the universe as we see it today. The combination of geometrical field theory with quantum mechanics worked well for the structure of matter but ran into a brick wall when confronted with general relativity and gravitation. So the search for a coherent framework to combine the physics of the very small (quantum mechanics) with the physics of the very large (general relativity) has, for several decades, been the ‘Holy Grail’ of fundamental physics.

Scientific theories sometimes had conflicting views: however science almost never says that an old theory is wrong. Theories were not replace, it mostly add to the one that comes before or pull together different looking parts into a whole. Scientists test a theory every way they can imagine. The old theories were carefully tested. If it passes the tests, the theory is true for all the stuff tested. If it does not pass, then they modify the theory. The paradox scientists have to contend with is that, while aiming for truth and understanding through sciences, modifying or discarding an existing theory is expected after they gain better understanding when more data became available. Which means the modern science of string theory is expected to give the same results to support the past theories.

Superstring theory serve to bridge these differences between the two theories and depended on the theories of the 20th century. However the sound core knowledge that has been tested and relied on is always surrounded by an amorphous boundary of uncertainties. String theory however is certainly still most physicists’ chosen route to a unifying theory that combines gravity and the forces of the quantum world. That is why we need to look at what was happening in physics before “String Theory”.

Time of the end

'But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until “the time of the end”; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.' (Daniel 12:4)

History of Physics - Classical physics only started from the 17th Century. Classical science discovered the 92 modern elements and their atoms. Classical physics began with machines and mechanics, and also the science of motion. Physicists were then discovering the observable universe with Galilean laws of motion.

The greatest classical physicist was Sir Isaac Newton who discovered the three laws of motion and gravity and quantified the gravity between two objects. Newton's realization that the same force that caused an apple to fall at the Earth's surface—gravity—was also responsible for holding the Moon in orbit about the Earth.

This universal gravitational force would also act between the planets and the Sun, providing a common explanation for both terrestrial and astronomical phenomena. Newton added to their arsenal with gravitational force and things started making more sense. This included the motions of the planets and stars.

A giant leap forwards was made when Sir Isaac Newton developed and applied calculus to the study of dynamics and his universal law of gravitation force was used to explained everything from the fall of an apple to the orbits of the planets.

Newton’s laws gave rise to the industrial revolution. He explained everything we perceive about the world in terms of the four concepts of Space, Time, Mass and Energy. Space being what's between two objects, and time being what's between two events, while energy is the power to change the distance between the objects over time.

Then came electric and magnetic forces, which were explained by Coulomb’s and Ampere’s laws. Maxwell discovered Electromagnetic Force at the end of the 1860s.

A major breakthrough was made by James Clerk Maxwell when he unified the electric and magnetic forces into electromagnetism. His new theory united light with electricity and magnetism. He explained that the carriers of the force are photons. Lights are actually photons traveling within the Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths of about 390 to 700 nm.

The Weak Nuclear Force was discovered by New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford in 1899 and devised to explain beta decay. In particle physics, the mechanism of interaction between subatomic particles is responsible for the radioactive decay of atoms. Unlike Strong Nuclear Forces and Electromagnetism, the Weak Nuclear Force can transform a neutron into a proton or vice versa, thus changing the composition of a nucleus.

In the cosmic universe, electromagnetic forces comprise those forces of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. (Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum). Electromagnetic forces are also responsible for molecular bondage between atoms and molecules. Inside the atom, electromagnetic forces interact between charged particles, viz., between positively charged protons of the atomic nucleus and the negatively charged electrons orbiting around it.

We have seen how electromagnetic waves produce visible and invisible wavelength and how matter including human are composed of energy with different frequency. Electromagnetic waves can travel tremendous distances. These waves appear in many different applications such as light, as radio and television broadcasts waves, as radar, X-rays and cosmic rays.

The nineteenth century witnessed the greater sophistication of Maxwell’s equations to include the behaviour of electromagnetism, and the twentieth century saw this process take a major leap forward with Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity and General Relativity.

Energy in it’s purest form is being carried by photons of light. Albert Einstein said that energy and matter are the same thing, that all matter is comprised of energy. Albert Einstein found that Newton’s laws of motion did not fit well with Maxwell’s equations so Einstein modified Newton’s laws but kept Maxwell’s equations intact when he developed his special theory of relativity.

Did you notice that photon, the particle of light, is the basis to all matter, energy and life? Almost two thousand years before man discovered the theory of atomic particles and energy forces, Jesus discloses that God is light and Jesus is the light of the world who gave life, as stated in our opening verse in John chapter 1. We are told in the Bible that we will transform into the spirit of light in eternity as indicated in John 8:12 and be like the angels.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

In 1905, Albert Einstein, who was at that time an unknown physicist published a paper describing the real world as a Four-Dimensional setting with his ‘special theory of relativity’.

It was found that only in a 4-Dimensional model world that electromagnetism can be fully and accurately described. Relativity says we live in a 4-Dimension world. We don’t perceive this dimension directly, but experience it as an acceleration and explain it as the force of gravity.

Einstein established that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers. This was the theory of special relativity.

Einstein then spent 10 years trying to include acceleration in the theory and published his theory of general relativity in 1915. According to him massive objects cause a distortion in space-time, which is felt as gravity. And events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another.

In the1900s, physicist encountered two problems with the theory of classical physics.

The first problem - physicists measured the speed of the Earth through space and they got zero; meaning the Earth was standing still, implying that according to their calculations the earth had to be at the center of the universe, while all the stars were moving around it.

Einstein knew we were not at the center of the universe. Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity beautifully accounts for gravity and all of the things it dominates such as orbiting planets, colliding galaxies, the dynamics of the expanding universe as a whole. The solution to this problem changed our understanding of the large things in the universe and the universe itself.

The world of the big objects - General relativity provided physicists with an improved understanding of gravity and other unanswered technicalities. While it was groundbreaking, it wasn’t able to describe gravity as a consistent quantum theory, and it was unable to successfully describes all of the forces of nature as well.

The second problem - Classical physics predicted that hot objects would instantly radiate away all their heat into electromagnetic waves. Physicists calculated the color of hot objects, it came out wrong. Other measurement problems with classical physics led to the development of Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity.

Quantum theory arrived shortly after, attempting to explain how electricity and magnetism are related to the weak nuclear force (radiation) and the strong nuclear force (which bind protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus).

Essentially, Quantum Mechanics incorporates a wave-particle duality and explains away the problems encountered in the scientific measurements issues of the late 19th and early 20th.

In general relativity, events are continuous and deterministic, meaning that every cause matches up to a specific local effect. This works well at the macroscopic level but fails miserably at the microscopic and thus enter quantum physics.

The world of the miniscule objects - All matter is made up of atoms, and all atoms are composed of electrons, neutrons, and protons — and these can be broken down further into quarks. Quarks are are made up of these dynamic strings, whose motions in space are the key to understanding the universe. This application allows us to break down the universe beyond the subatomic particle level into vibrating strings whose interactions and vibrations make up the universe.

According to quantum theory, minuscule things behave nothing like everyday objects. Unlike an apple, a subatomic particle can be in two places or of two different types at once. Those two-way "superposition" states are fragile. Measure a particle of light or photon that is simultaneously polarized both horizontally and vertically and it will randomly "collapse" one way or the other.

General relativity deals with physics on the macro scale of massive gravitational fields warping the space-time continuum. Quantum mechanics is useful in the description of particle physics and the interactions of matter and energy on extremely small scales. Heisenberg’s uncertainty or indeterminacy principle shows that at the level of elementary particles there is a fundamental “uncertainty” structured into the Universe. The classical model of the world as strictly material and deterministic no longer holds in the miniscule world.

Einstein refused to accept the claim by its proponents that Quantum Theory is a complete theory. What most of them are in agreement is that the theories to bring the Quantum world and the Cosmos world of Relativity together are “incomplete.” Evidences of incompleteness comes from “ entanglement”. Somehow two electrons behave as one.

Quantum mechanics, handles the three forces – electromagnetism and the two nuclear forces. In quantum mechanics, events produced by the interaction of subatomic particles happen in quantum leaps which is of probabilistic proportions rather than in definite proportional outcomes. The world of science was completely turned upside-down by Heisenberg and others when they added the quintessential chapter of quantum physics. Nothing would be the same again in the Scientific World of Quantum Physics from thereon.

Max Planck was the originator of quantum theory which only works at the subatomic level. To explain energy radiations, Max Planck put forward a theory known as Planck's quantum theory. The energy of each quantum is directly proportional to the frequency of the radiation, E =hν = hc/λ ,where h = Planck's constant.

The solutions to the above problems gave them understanding to the atomic world and profoundly changed our view of reality and changed the scientific understanding of reality at the micro level, that of the unseen sphere of existence.

Einstein’s theory of relativity only works on "large" objects like stars, planets, people, and grains of sand. Quantum Mechanics and Gravity approach the same physics from two different directions. Gravity has the math of General Relativity. Quantum Mechanics has the math that works with atoms and the smallest particles. Neither math works successfully in the other’s territory. Thus these two well tested theories mutually exclude one another.

However relying on two theories to describe the cosmos is neither simple nor elegant. In physics, a beautiful theory is one that is mathematically simple and explains as much as possible in an apparently accurate way. The main motivation of string theory which originally was intended as a description of the strong nuclear force, people however realized that it allows for a quantum description of gravity.

Scientists are beginning to believe that absolutely everything, from stars to cotton candy, may be made of string, very tiny mathematician’s string. Strings are all around you. Your clothes are made of strings woven into cloth. Spider webs are string. The cables that hold up suspension bridges are strings even though they are six inches thick. A scientist would even call your DNA a string and when your DNA stretched out like a string they would be a few meters long.

A central goal that modern physicists share is finding a single theory that can explain the entire universe and unite the forces of nature.

One story of String Theory starts with Kaluza-Klein hypothesis which tried to unify gravitation and electromagnetism. In the late 1960s, as physicists began to explore the new subject of string theory (which posits that particles are like minuscule rubber bands vibrating in space), Kaluza’s and Klein’s ideas bubbled back into awareness, and theorists gradually began to wonder if the two subatomic forces could also be described in terms of spacetime geometry. And these were the four fundamental forces of nature which String Theory unifies.

Einstein’s theory says we live in a 4-dimensional world with three spatial and one temporal dimension of time. Einstein slipped in an additional space-like dimension to his equations of general relativity to explain how mass warps spacetime. Time is said to runs slower wherever gravity is strongest, and this is because gravity curves spacetime.

In 1919, a young Polish mathematician named Theodor Kaluza, thinking that if Einstein had absorbed gravity into spacetime, then perhaps a further dimension might similarly account for the force of electromagnetism as an artifact of spacetime’s geometry. So Kaluza added another dimension to Einstein’s equations, and found that in “Five-dimensions” both forces fell out nicely as artifacts of the geometric model.

In General Relativity, the Fourth Dimension was time; in Kaluza’s theory, it wasn’t anything you could point to, see, or feel! it was just there in the mathematics. The mathematics fit perfectly, but the additional dimension didn’t seem to correlate with any particular physical quality. However, in 1926, the Swedish physicist Oskar Klein provided an answer to this Mathematical equation in a way that reads like a story straight out of “Antz, A Bug’s Life”.

“Imagine”, he said, “you are an ant living on a long, very thin length of hose. You could run along the hose backward and forward without ever being aware of the tiny circle-dimension under your feet. Only your ant-physicists with their powerful ant-microscopes can see this tiny dimension.”

Technically, these forms are known as Calabi-Yau manifolds, and they can exist in any even number of higher dimensions. When the extra dimensions were first discovered in the 1970s, it was clear that they must be hidden in some way. After all, we certainly don’t see more than three spatial dimensions except if the dimensions could be curled up into very small size. This was the suggestion that had been proposed by Kaluza and Klein.

According to Klein, every point in our four-dimensional spacetime has a little extra circle of space like this that’s too tiny for us to see. Since it is many orders of magnitude smaller than an atom, it’s no wonder we’ve missed it so far.

Only physicists with super-powerful particle accelerators can hope to see down to such a minuscule scale. We’re talking about something more than 20 orders of magnitude smaller than the smallest atom. Even today, we’re nowhere near to being able to see on such a microscopic scale.

And so the idea faded out of fashion, until in the 1960s when string theorists revived the concepts of higher-dimensional space. Physicists became enchanted by Klein’s idea and the theory was elaborated in great mathematical detail and set into a Quantum context.

John Archibald Wheeler (1911 – 2008) was an eminent American theoretical physicist, a great contributor to modern physics and was the first American to be involved in the theoretical development of the atomic bomb, together with many other leading physicists. He received numerous honours and awards over the years.

In the 1930s, John Wheeler developed an important and indispensable tool in particle physics called scattering-matrix (S-matrix) which relates the initial and final state to the interaction of particles. He also collaborated with Albert Einstein in his search for a Grand Unified Theory of physics and worked with Niels Bohr, the godfather of the quantum theory revolution, to explain nuclear fission in terms of quantum physics.

Classical model and electromagnetism were doing a great job, explaining the phenomenon and interactions at the macroscopic level. “General relativity was used in describing gravitational fields on large scales and so in research it seldom collides with quantum mechanics.

An exception to this is black holes where gravity is so strong as to collapse a powerful gravitational field to the micro level. Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts how black holes could form. It was Wheeler who coined the term “Blackhole”, “Wormhole” and describe objects like “black holes” that are so massive and compact that time disappears and space becomes infinite or “timeless”.

Quantum mechanics, handles the three forces – electromagnetism and the two nuclear forces. Since Einstein's time, physicists have attempted to reconcile the two theories. For that, physicists need a "Theory of Everything." String theory is the first theory of physics that tries to explain everything.

What does it mean to explain everything?

We would know how the universe began and where it is going. A theory of everything would explain everything we feel, see or measure. We would understand all the forces and all types of matter. We would know what is most basic and how everything else is composed of these basic parts. Could the universe have been different? Are there other universes?

A theory of everything should answer all these questions.

String theory would then become a theory of all interactions, at a deeper, more microscopic level. The characteristic scale of the hadronic string (~10–13 cm) had to be reduced by 20 orders of magnitude (~10–33 cm, the famous Planck-length) to describe the quarks themselves, the electron, the muon and the neutrinos, in fact every elementary particle, as a string. The most mind-boggling feature of String Theory is its extra-dimensions.

String Theory was a result of the efforts of many physicists and researchers. String theory’s beginnings can be traced back to the work of Italian theoretical physicist Gabriele Veneziano who in 1968 proposed the dual resonance model.

His paper “Construction of a crossing-symmetric, Regge behaved amplitude for linearly-rising trajectories” which discussed about his discovery on the Euler beta function being the realisation of DHS duality in 1968 lead to the other idea that hadrons are actually strings. This wound up marking the beginning of string theory.

Having found that hadrons are strings was no small achievement for those days and it was not precisely the string that we now associate with quark confinement in QCD.

Indeed the latter is so complicated that only the most powerful computers could shed some light on it many decades later” as explained by Scientists. Without supercomputers, no brain on earth can comprehend the science that God had created with just the utterance he made on the 6 days of creation.

In 1970, some scientists building on Veneziano’s work, birthed string theory. In 1971 superstring theory was born. An ultra-important development in string theory occurred in 1974 when it was shown that string theory requires extra dimensions. The idea that Strings Theory offered a consistent quantum-gravity theory came in 1974 from a paper by Joel Scherk and John Schwarz.

Two scientists proposed an idea where gravity and electromagnetism could emerge from the same theoretical approach, but only with additional dimensions in the equations. While their theory was too simple to completely describe the universe, their idea of the “compactification” of dimensions eventually became the foundation of string theory research.

The problem of extra dimensions were solved by introducing the idea of compactification, in which the extra dimensions curl up around each other, growing so tiny that they’re extremely hard to detect. Extra dimensions are the only logical way to explain all non-physical phenomena.

Base on String Theory, Scientists now suggest the idea and presence of multiple dimensions. The mathematics of String Theory begins to fall apart with just 4 dimensions. It stabilizes only with a total of 10 dimensions. String theory says there are 10, 11 or even 12 Dimensions.

The Bible describes the 12 gates of heaven as being made of pearls. Each individual gate is made of one single enormous pearl. Each gate has the name of one of the 12 tribes of Israel etched into it: Asher, Benjamin, Dan, Gad, Issachar, Joseph, Judah, Levi, Nephtali, Reubon, Simeon and Zebulun.

The 12 tribes of Israel were named after the sons of Jacob. Each of the 12 gates is protected by an angel. According to the book of Luke 16:22 in the Bible, angels carry an individual to Heaven at the moment of death. The gates of Heaven through which an individual may gain entrance into Heaven never close because night no longer exists there. Sun is not needed in Heaven because the Glory of God and Jesus light up the place.

Gabriele Veneziano worked at MIT and CERN between 1968 and 1972. In 1972 he became Amos de Shalit Professor of Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science and in 1976 he accepted a position in the Theory Division at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland where he worked for more than 30 years and directed the Theory Division (between 1994 and 1997).

Gabriele Veneziano was born on September 7, 1942 in Florence (Italy) and was about twenty-six years old when he proposed his seminal scientific model. Albert Einstein too was about the same age when he put forward his theory of relativity in 1905.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, located in Europe is home to the world's largest particle physics lab. Located over 300 feet underground, it is a series of machines set up in a circle that extends almost 17 miles in length. CERN carry out quantum Vortex experiments in search of Solar Axions, which are hypothetical particles that are components of dark matter.

These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish. When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.…(Revelation 11:6-8)

In order to find these Axions CERN proposed the use of a decommissioned magnet called SATAN. It was an acronym for Solar Axion Telescopic Antenna. Then there’s AliEN (a computing grid for big data) and GEANT (A European Data Network, and a software toolkit.) Stephen Hawking had previously state that ‘The God Particle' also known as “Higgs Boson” could wipe out the Universe.

He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Revelation 9:2)

Gabriele Veneziano who held the Chair of Elementary Particles, Gravitation and Cosmology at the Collège de France in Paris from 2004 to 2013 was link to the beginnings of String theory, whilst he was doing his research to explain the strong interaction theory.

In 2011, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery that the universe is not only constantly growing larger, but that this expansion is actually accelerating. Then in 2012, scientists confirmed the detection of the long-sought Higgs boson, also known by its nickname the "God particle," at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator on the planet. Subsequently, another Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of the Higgs field in 2013.

"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come. (Revelation 17:8)

Vacuum supposedly does not contain particles - Magnetic fields are clearly not based upon physical particles because, like gravity, they exert a force even in a vacuum (where no physical particles are present), so scientists have to come up with imaginary particles like “virtual photons” to explain the non-physical phenomenon.

Most physicists believe that gravity is also mediated by a gauge boson that they call the graviton which is a virtual particle. The most promising place to find a graviton is at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Gravitons is expected to rolled up into other dimensions, when the experiment showed a strange imbalance in energy and momentum after an event. What the scientists at CERN are not expecting to find are the actual graviton, but the hidden gateway to another dimension. What the scientists at CERN would be looking for would be a hole, rather than an actual graviton.

Primarily, CERN would be looking for something that is not there. Gravitons might be rolled up into other dimensions. The imbalance in energy and momentum would signal an escaped graviton - a graviton that flickered here briefly before entering another dimensions through the supposedly hidden hole or gateway to another universe.

These Large Laboratory facilities are being used to look for hole(s) that lead into the hidden dimensions, by creating that “virtual” gravity waves they call graviton. Graviton is a virtual particle. So-called Higgs-portal models assume that dark matter particles interact with normal particles through the exchange of a Higgs boson. ... Specifically, some fraction of Higgs bosons created in the Large Hadron Collider should decay into dark matter particles, which would escape detection.

It would take an infinite amount of energy to exactly reach the speed of light, let alone pass it. This fact is proven everyday in particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by CERN. The LHC currently accelerates very small bunches of protons to 99.999997% the speed of light (planning to reach 99.9999991% the speed of light by 2015).

The LHC uses 800,000,000 kilowatt-hours of energy a year to get tiny bunches of protons up to these speeds. That's as much energy as released by 30 plutonium-core nuclear bombs. All that energy is used to get a handful of hydrogen nuclei close to the speed of light. Movies and television shows that depict space ships traveling faster than light are portraying pure fiction.

The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator, is a machine used in the quest to detect dark matter, examine the conditions formed right after the Big Bang and study the Higgs boson particle. It collides particles in order to understand more about the nature of our universe.

Simplistically, the experiment will propel the smallest bits of matter to 99.9% the speed of light. By sending these particles in separate directions through a massive tunnel, exploding, releasing and observing them micro seconds before they form new particles.

Theoretically it was believed that vacuum is an empty space but few years ago it was found that vacuum in space consists of the invisible dark matter and dark energy.

Dark matter's existence and properties are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation and the structure of the universe. Dark Energy is the force that repels gravity in the dark places of space.

Scientist explains that dark matter vibrating at higher frequency allows light to travel many times faster in a higher universal plane due to a lower resistance. This variation in the velocity of light, which imply that different density exist on various parallel universes, thus they were given the term "density" which is coined to refer to the concentration of matter per a standard area of interstellar medium at the various different levels of parallel universes.

Wheeler proposed that small wormholes measuring 10-33 centimetres could exist in the quantum foam of spacetime and are the hyper-spatial links to other dimensions.

Gravity – gravitation force, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.

Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, but why is gravity so much weaker than the other fundamental forces?

A small fridge magnet is enough to create an electromagnetic force greater than the gravitational pull exerted by planet Earth. One possibility is that we don’t feel the full effect of gravity because part of it spreads to extra dimensions.

Though it may sound like science fiction, if extra dimensions exist, they could explain why the universe is expanding faster than expected, and why gravity is weaker than the other forces of nature.

What is the impact of artificially opening up holes in the dimensions, just the way we tunnel holes into the earth to extract oil and natural resources?

Many conspiracy theorists are predicting that the Large Hadron Collider magnetic field is going to bring about Doomsday by creating a force to pull asteroids towards Earth.

The Higgs doomsday scenario in one book read: "The Higgs potential has the worrisome feature that it might become metastable at energies above 100 [billion] giga-electronvolts…,

This could mean that the universe could undergo catastrophic vacuum decay, with a bubble of the true vacuum expanding at the speed of light. This could happen at any time and we wouldn't see it coming."

When men tear a hole through the fabric of the matrix of time, this action will have it’s consequences for sure;

The Sixth Seal… and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.… (Revelation 6:13-15)

We may be on the verge of seeing the merger of science and theology, something quite unimaginable until now.

The scientific revolution of the 17th century saw our perception of the universe mechanized and secularized—everything adheres to Newtonian laws. As a result, theology, as the study of the unseen and the immeasurable, began it’s decline, the supernatural being explained as psychological phenomena or fantasy and pure imaginary.

But this mechanistic worldview is now being undermined, not by theology, but by science itself. New discoveries, beginning with Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, have opened up possibilities about our universe that we could never have imagined before —things like multiverses and extradimensional objects and the possibility of life that is beyond the logical mind. The natural and the “supernatural” may all be part of one seamless system and science and mathematics are proving it.

Since mainstream modern physics have concurs that our universe may not be the only one and that there may be other universes operating according to different laws. So the Christian concept of eternity, which is God outside of space and time, is rendered completely intelligible. It opens up possibilities that would have seemed far-fetched even for science fiction a century ago.

So believing in the existence of heaven, hell and eternity is not considered to be just fantasy after all, since scientific theories have so much evidences that suggest the reality of other dimensions and parallel universe?

Jesus is Coming Soon

Revelation 22:11-13

…Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”…

Vision and dream

2020-01-07T15:59:00.000+08:00

The world of sleep and dreams has long been steeped in mystery, lore, and legend. Have you ever wonder what your dreams mean, and why you even dream? Are visions and dreams for real or even relevant to reality? Last night I dreamt of a lady whom I had known for years and in the dream, she had a moustache. I was puzzled by the dream and wonder what it meant.

The human brain, with its ~80 billion neurons, is one of the most complex systems ever created. The field of neuroscience has strived to elucidate brain function for more than a centuries. Results from scientific experiments show lucid dreaming to have REM-like power in frequency bands of delta and theta, and higher-than-REM activity in the gamma band, the between-states-difference peaking around 40 Hz.

Delta and Theta Waves are the most significant ones for the sleep cycle, Delta Waves brings the sleepers into the deepest mode of sleep. The Deep Sleep or Delta Wave (0.5-4Hz) mode occur in deep, dreamless sleep and during transcendental meditation. Theta brain waves is the realm of your subconsciousness and you only get to experienced it momentarily as you drift off to sleep from Alpha and then when awakening from the Delta frequency of deep sleep.

The voice of the Alpha frequency is your intuition, which becomes clearer and more profound the closer you get to 7.5Hz. Alpha waves are the gateway to your subconscious mind. In fact, the voice of Beta can be described as that nagging little inner critic. And unlike your other brain waves frequencies, the elusive voice of Theta is a silent voice.

At 40Hz and above, the Gamma wave is the fastest frequency. Gamma waves are present during REM sleep and visualization. Initial research shows Gamma waves are associated with bursts of insight and high-level information processing. Gamma waves are associated with peak concentration, high levels of cognitive functioning and the abilities to link information from all parts of the brain. In the gamma state, your brain is able to process all sensory information faster and more fully with greater sensitivity; and combine the whole scenario into a highly memorable experience. People with high gamma activity can recall everything about any memorable event – the food they ate, the music they heard, the conversations, the names of people they met, the air temperature, etc.

Why do brain waves matter?

Most are unaware that our brain waves and our subconscious mind play a key part in our quest for fulfillment in our lives. Our brain consists of 5 different types of brain waves; Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and Gamma brain waves. Each different brainwave has a certain effect at a specific frequency.

While most of us focus on looking at our emotions in an attempt to become happier, in day-to-day life, our thoughts have no conscious effect on what goes on in our own brains. Everything in our daily lives—from stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, trauma, pollution, the environment, and more-- causes our brain waves to become unbalance.

In general, we all operate in beta mode, and normal consciousness acts as a barrier. And with a majority of adults operating at Beta, it’s little surprise that stress is today’s most common health problem. Beta brain waves are important for effective functioning throughout the day, they also can translate into stress, anxiety and restlessness. Beta brain waves range from 13Hz - 39Hz while Gamma brain waves range starts near to 40Hz onwards to 100Hz.

Alpha programming within the 7-14Hz range, seems to open up psi abilities. So if you are awake and relaxed you would be considered to be in an "alpha state of mind". Theta is where you experience vivid visualizations, great inspiration, profound creativity and exceptional insight.

7.83 Hz is called the Schumann Resonance, which is very grounding as it is the same frequency as the magnetic field of the earth. It is at the Alpha-Theta border, from 7Hz to 8Hz, where the optimal range for visualization, mind programming and using the creative power of your mind begins. It’s the mental state in which you consciously create your reality. It is as if the biophysical body of the remote viewer in the theta state resonates with the planet's biophysical field at the magic 7.8Hz.

In ancient time, this state of mind of the spiritual consciousness, was experienced by many Prophets, the like of Ezekiel and John who were shown visions of Heaven. Theta is the intriguing border between the conscious and the subconscious worlds. Theta brain waves, measured at 4-7 Hz, are the brain frequencies of the barely conscious states just before sleeping and just after awakening.

The “Multi-dimension” theory, which has its recent origins in the 20th century is a complex idea involving theory of quantum physics and string theories, which many people on the street do not yet fully comprehend. The transition from sleep to being awake is a dimensional shift from the fourth to the third dimension! It is very rarely that we are able to perceive the dreamscape while awake in the third dimension? Some humans, the likes of Psychic Ingo Swann also had shown an unusual ability to look into the fourth dimensional reality while awake in the third dimension. Ingo Swann (1933-2013) was an American whose psychic ability led him to participate in successful ESP and psychokinesis experiments with the government’s Stargate Project, during the Cold War.

At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. (Revelation 4:2-4)

God always give visions to His Prophets or Messengers, revealing to them future events that is going to take place. God brings his prophets through time, “in the spirit”.

“Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets”. Amos 3:7

Time travel has interest humans for generations and is a popular science fiction theme. Although Scripture does not mention humans traveling through time, there are several instances in the Bible where we can debate if they are actually considered time travel. The visions John experienced in Revelation were possibly "time travel," because he foresee more than two thousands years into the future. These events which he foresaw is called “The Apocalypse” and is yet to take place.

Gamma rays and gamma brain waves are not the same thing. On Earth, nuclear explosions and lightning produce gamma rays. The only similarity between a gamma ray and a gamma brain wave is that their frequency is extremely fast, with a small amplitude. Gamma rays are the most energetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. The Electromagnetic Radiation Spectrum (EMR) or light spectrum is made up of a series of waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, X-ray waves, and gamma waves. Visible light waves make up only a fraction of the light waves on this Electromagnetic Radiation Spectrum.

Spirits like angels which are form of electromagnetic waves within the gamma frequency range, allows them to break through the barriers of time and dimensions as they travel at lightspeed. Accordingly, at the speed of light, time stood still for the angel. So by applying Einstein theory of special relativity, it implies that Angels and spirit are not bound by time.

Put on your seat belt now !

We will travel through the eyes of these prophets and go back in time, to understand the messages in the time capsule called “The Holy Bible”, which the creator had left behind through the ancient prophets.

Like Ezekiel, John was travelling at light speed in the spiritual body. And whilst John was present in the spiritual realm, in the spirit, he was shown future events (Revelation 1:9–11). Because Ezekiel and John were teleported to a higher realm or a dimension where a day was the equivalent of a thousand years on earth, they saw the future of earth and the events that were to take place on earth hundreds or thousands of years from their respective time, which were about 700 years apart from each other.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. (2 Peter 3:8)

According to scripture in 2 Peter 3:8, a day in the spirit realm, is equivalent to a thousand years on earth. So 4 days in the spiritual realm will be four thousand years on earth. They were travelling in the spirit at light speed. So time stand still...

The prophet Ezekiel who lived in 593 BC gave a vivid description of the “Glory of God” in Ezekiel Chapter 1. Ezekiel was present in the spirit and shown a visual image of the Magnificence and Splendour of God’s presence in the Heavenly courtroom in the “Spiritual Dimension”.

Towards the end of the Book of Revelation, the last book in the Bible, we were given a full description of heaven.

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as pure as transparent glass. (Revelation 21:21)

The great street of heaven was said to be laid with pure gold which looks like transparent glass. Notice that even gold looks different in the different dimension because the vibrational rates or frequency were faster and metal is transparent like glass. The density level is different and light travel at different rates giving different color of light and time slow down.

The same way that Moses sent 12 men to go and check out the promise land, God had allowed men to see him in Heavenly visions and earthly encounters. The Creator of mankind even make appointments with humans so they can understand his purpose for us and to see the promise land he had prepared for His children.

Theta consciousness is the doorway to remote viewing and psi. A research project called “The Jupiter Probe” was conducted in 1973 by Stanford Research Institute (SRI). In this experiment earthbound humans were attempting to view Jupiter before NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft flew by with its cameras. The idea was to have the participants put their 3D bodies in a state of rest and, with their 4D minds, viewed Jupiter with their inner eyes.

Ingo Swann was one of the celebrated remote viewer who was able to describe Jupiter in advance as the spacecraft cameras would have seen it a few weeks later in the future. This dimension that Ingo Swann’s mind entered is a reality that we today might call a “virtual reality”, but of course he did not see it with the help of our modern day “virtual reality gorgle”. Many “normal” humans might have their occasional altered states of consciousness in which they could perceive beyond the three-dimensional (3D) world, but this is really rare.

The virtual Jupiter has a reality to it that is as “real” as the physical Jupiter. But there is more than image in these four-dimensional (4D) perceptions. We can experience somethings as matter or as energy; both are real. Whichever state it is, we are very much alive and active whether in matter and in the 3D realm or in energy and the 4D realm. This perception was experienced in our physical world by Ingo Swann.

Time is often thought of as the fourth dimension in scientific terms. However, it is say that “Minkowski space is not 3D + T, but it is 4D or 4-Dimensional. In deep sleep the normal 3D brain goes into the deeper subconscious, and the mind gradually go through various transitions, which we verify as changes in the brainwaves, from beta to alpha to theta etc.

The inner mind and being enter an expansive state in which the state of mind, not the body, is the mover and doer. In this dimension a 3D cube becomes an imagery. We could see it and feel it in our mind. This visual image form is the fourth-dimensional version of our 3D solid. It is the thought form of the cube.

Now we are perceiving beyond the three planes of the “real” cube. This is the Fourth Dimention thought form of the 3-Dimension-physical-cube, which is the idea of the 3D-cube. It has all the characteristics of the 3D cube but is in an alternate reality to it. The 4D visual form is not matter. In this dimension we do not use the body’s physical senses, yet we are sensing. The mind’s sight, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling are as real to the sleeper as the physical is to the 3D personification. But we are beyond the physical, we are in the 4D-world.

With modern scientific discoveries and advances in technologies, we are now able to view what the prophets were only able to visualised in the Fourth-Dimenional state of mind. What the prophets had seen within the spiritual dimension, it is now possible for us to view that within our physical sphere through technological innovations.

After 400 years since the invention of the first telescope by Galileo, the sophisticated Hubble space telescope was launched into Earth’s orbit in 1990. It has become the most vital research tool and observatories for astronomy ever build by the United States with contributions from the European Space Agency.

Galileo, an Italian scientist, refuted the Aristotelian doctrine that the Earth was the center of the universe. Until 1610 all observations of the sky were viewed with the naked eye. Then Galileo (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) who was also an astronomer, physicist and engineer invented the telescope. His many discoveries laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy.

NASA had named the world's first space-based optical telescope after American astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble (1889 -- 1953) who discovered that many objects previously thought to be clouds of dust and gas and classified as "nebulae" were actually galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Many of Hubble telescope’s observations have led to breakthroughs in astrophysics, such as determining the rate of expansion of the universe.

The universal expansion was predicted from general relativity by Alexander Friedmann in 1922 and a Belgian priest Georges Lemaître in 1927, well before Edwin Powell Hubble made his 1929 analysis and observations, and it remains the cornerstone of the Big Bang theory. Dr. Hubble confirmed the "expanding" universe, which provided the foundation for the “Big Bang Theory”.

For centuries, scientists had been looking at the prospects of traveling into outer space. Since the 1940s, experimental rockets were launched into outer space without success, until October 4, 1957 when the Soviet Union successfully sent the first unmanned mission into space. But it was not until April 12, 1961 before the first successfully manned space mission was launched by the Russians, carrying a young man known as Yuri Gagarin.

One month later, the United States launched their first manned space mission with astronaut Alan Shepard. The space race between the North Americans and Russians brought about a massive revolution in space exploration and advancement of outer space technologies and scientific understanding.

Not long thereafter, the Americans launched their first operational space telescopes in 1968. Along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope, was the Hubble space telescope which was one of NASA's largest and most versatile space telescope.

Scientific theory like Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity predicts that all physical laws must break down at zero moment of the Big Bang, including General Relativity itself. Computer simulations only manage to trace the evolution of the universe backward up to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.

There was great hope in the scientific community that Planck will be able to tell us what happened in the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang when the Universe that we can observe today occupied almost no space at all.

To get at this information, Planck has sampled the "oldest light" in the cosmos - the light that was finally allowed to spread out across space once the Universe had cooled sufficiently to permit the formation of hydrogen atoms.

This age of techonological advancement and discoveries have reveal a lot of truth to mankind not just in terms of physical perspectives but spiritual ones as well.

Creation of the Matrix of Time

In 1978 Penzias and Wilson were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery which continues to expose new layers of the universe. The “BICEP” project is one of many observatories designed to measure the properties of light left over shortly after the big bang.

That light is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), and it serves as a state-of-the-universe report from a time before there were any stars or galaxies. In the narative of Genesis 1:3, God commanded and light was created on the first day during the 6 days creation story of Genesis 1.

And these two Nobel Prize–winning astronomers had found traces of the cosmic microwave as written in Genesis 1:3. “God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.“

The two Nobel Prize–winning Scientists Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson made their “Big Bang” discovery in 1964. The duo unwittingly found the faint light left over from just shortly after the big bang, when the universe had cooled enough from its initial extremely hot and dense state to allow photons to flow freely through space.

That early light was actually some of the earliest light ever created — the so-called cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which has been traveling through the cosmos ever since. This light showed up on Bell Labs’ six-meter Horn Antenna radio telescope.

Day One - Insights from Global Warming

Water is said to have existed on the surface of the earth before this light was created on the first day.

The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2)

The spirit of God was said to be hovering over the surface of the water before He created light. The Earth was a lifeless ice-ball of rock before light was created.

Scientist are learning about Earth's past extremes to find solutions which may also give scientists new perspectives on modern climate change. For instance, eruptions during the snowball-Earth period are thought to have added sulfur particles to the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and cooling the planet. Some experts have suggested doing the same thing artificially as a modern cure for global warming.

Second day of creation

Out of the ball of ice, God created the atmosphere of the earth on the second day after he had created light. In biblical cosmology, the firmament is the structure above the atmosphere of Earth, conceived as a vast solid dome.

According to the creation narrative in Genesis 1:6-8, God created the firmament to separate the "waters above" the earth from the "waters below" the earth on the second day.

Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day. (Genesis 1:6-8)

Third Day of Creation

Then God separated the water below the sky to create the landscape of the land and sea on the third day. A study of rock deposit in Canada by Scientist at Harvard University affirmed the fact mentioned in Genesis 1:9-10.

Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:9-10)

Scientists at Harvard University, working with volcanic rocks in Canada which were found sandwiched between glacial deposits believed that the land of Canada was situated near the Equator before it had been pushed to where it is today. It was suggested by scientist that over time the movement of Earth's tectonic plates had pushed the rocks north to Canada's Yukon and Northwest Territories.

Such deposits are said to be recognizable by the presence of debris left behind by melting glaciers and sediments deformed by glacial movement. Using extremely precise uranium-lead mass spectrometry, the researchers’ whose work was supported by the Polar Continental Shelf Project and the National Science Foundation’s Geobiology and Environmental Geochemistry Program, determined that both the volcanic rocks and glacial sediments were deposited about 716.5 million years ago—during the purported snowball-Earth period.

Genesis 1:11-13 reveals that God went on to fill the earth with plants on the third day. Notice that there was no sun yet when God created the plant.

The team of scientists matching their findings to previous magnetic studies that had been found on these rocks which had formed when Canada was situated near the Equator, believe the continents may have been in a total deep freeze, or the planet may have simply been subjected to a patchwork of constantly moving glaciers or icebergs—or something in between, as an icy Equator alone can't tell scientists the extent of ice cover around the world.

The Creator & Law Maker : The Big Bang

Many cosmologists argue that the Universe emerged out of nothing. While that kind of argument may sound interesting, it is too weak argument in particular from the viewpoint of “The Schwinger effect”, which is a predicted physical phenomenon whereby matter is created by a strong electric field.

The New Jerusalem - But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need for sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp. By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.…(Revelation 21:22-24)

God’s glory illuminate the heaven. According to Revelation 21, there will be no need for the existence of any sun in heaven as the Glory of God is brighter than the Sun.

The Force field - The presence of the creator God

In Quantum Field Theory, the quantum vaccuum is far from the classical definition of vaccuum ("nothing"), but it is an active field which consists of virtual particles. Theoretically, under special external field (such as strong laser), those virtual particles can turn to become real particle, this effect is known as Schwinger effect.

The universe is believe to have its beginning from vacuum fluctuations, but it needs very large laser or other external field to trigger the Schwinger effect. But then one can ask: Who triggered that laser in the beginning? In the beginning there could be strong gravitational field which triggered Cosmological Schwinger effect. But how could it be possible, if nothing existed in the beginning including large gravitational field such as proposed by scientific theory? Thus the proposal that the universe emerged from nothingness is really questionable.

The first verse in the bible, Genesis 1:1, read: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”.

Accordingly, soon after the “Big Bang”, the universe was say to be filled with a nearly uniform soup of hydrogen and helium. In space, the force of gravity is very weak. But it is not zero. Given enough time, despite the weak gravitational force of space, giant clouds of gas condense as a result of gravity. Over a long long time, gravity pulled most of these gas atoms into stars.

Fouth day of Creation

Under Field Theory, the four fundamental forces interact with one another to present the universe as we see it today. It was over time, these heavier elements condensed down under gravity to form small clouds and rocks. In turn, the clouds and rocks gravitationally attracted each other to form asteroids, moons, and planets. These Sun, Moon and Stars were only created on the fourth day.

Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the material from which they are made. Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides. Outer space is nearly empty because most of matter that used to be out there has literally fallen into an asteroid, planet, moon, or star under the influence of gravity.

Inside the nuclear furnace of stars, hydrogen and helium were fused to form the heavier elements up to iron. Larger stars eventually died in an explosive supernova which created all the naturally occurring elements heavier than iron and spewed these heavier elements into space.

God created the sun and the moon to light up the earth which also serve as sign-post to mark sacred events; which were appointed to show God’s plan for mankind.

And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. (Genesis 1:14-18)

Fifth and Sixth day of creation

After everything had been created, then God created man to rule over His creations as revealed in Genesis 1:26-27;

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)

God blesses Adam with every needs and provisions as a part of His creation. Notice God created us in His very own image not after some Ape and He only created Adam and out of Adam God created Eve. So we did not evolved from some crawling reptiles. The reptilian creature was a form that was a description given to Satan.

Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:15-17)

The creation of Man and the purpose of Life

Did humanity missed the real messages? Notice that time was set in motion even before any human being was created. This is the clue to the main point of creation – the real meaning of our existence. God created the living creatures to fill the sky and the sea on the fifth day. And on the sixth day God make the living creatures that exist on the earth before He finally created Adam in His own image.

Man’s fascinations of the heaven had a spiritual beginning, which had led them towards the pursuit of science and astronomy in Mesopotamia, from ancient time.

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-5)

Satan wrangle the rights to this dominion from the first man in the Garden of Eden. Mankind have been under the influence of Satan since and desire to be like God just as Lucifer did as revealed in Isaiah 14:12-14.

Isaiah 14:12-14 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the North. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”

Fall of Man

Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis 3:22-24)

Men have been attempting to conquer space and gain dominion through scientific endeavours. Scientists were spending a lot of resources to discover clues to the expansion of space instead of understanding the reason of our existence.

According to “Cosmic Inflation Theory”, Scientists believe that the universe is not expanding into space; rather space itself is expanding, dragging stars and galaxies in its wake. If inflation happened immediately after the big bang, it would have produced turbulence in the structure of space-time itself. No definitive evidence for cosmic inflation was found, but support remains strong for the theory even as critics highlight its shortcomings as an explanation for how and why the universe began.

The “BICEP”-team has been incrreasing its efforts, making bigger, better, and faster instruments to search for the primordial gravitational waves. Scientist are racing to figure out the existence of these waves which is crucial for our understanding of how the universe came to be.

Inflation should have roiled spacetime, generating gravitational waves that would have rippled through the cosmos ever since. Evidence of these waves would be concrete proof of inflation and provide clues to how it happened.

Gravitational waves from merging black holes and neutron stars have already been detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). But the waves from inflation would be much weaker and have much longer wavelengths.

A photon has a property called polarization, the orientation of its electric field, and the average polarization of CMB photons at each point on the sky can be shown as a line matching that orientation. If primordial gravitational waves polarized the photons, these lines today should have a characteristic swirl known as the B-mode polarization signal. This is what BICEP2 saw. Unfortunately, dust in our galaxy can create a similar pattern.

Gravitational waves that would twist the orientation of the light, is known as polarization. The type of dust in the Milky Way that BICEP2 saw appears to be simple, meaning that it polarizes light in some wavelengths more than others in a predictable way. The polarization from gravitational waves could peek out in wavelengths where the dust is less pronounced.

Only by scanning across a range of wavelengths can researchers find the exact behavior of galactic dust across the microwave spectrum, in hopes of subtracting it away. Once that is done properly, what’s left may be gravitational waves from inflation.

Astronomers also observe the gravitational effects of dark matter surrounding galaxies. And more recently, measurements of the redshifts of supernovae indicate that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, an observation attributed to dark energy's existence.

Redshift

As the source moves away from the observer, the wavelength appears to "stretch out" or increase. Each peak is emitted farther away from the previous peak as the object gets recedes. Similarly, while the wavelength increases (gets redder) the frequency, and therefore the energy, decreases.

Light falling toward a gravitational field gets shifted to the blue end of the spectrum, while light escaping from a gravitational field is reddened, or redshifted.

The faster the object recedes, the greater its redshift. If the differences show a redshift, it means the object is receding away. If they're blue, then the object is approaching. For the most part, objects in the universe are receding away from each other and that motion can be measured by analyzing their redshifts.

Isn’t it weird to see order arising from chaos? - After the Big Bang, instead of the expected chaos, we see the evolution of an orderly universe. How could it be that “Out of the Big Bang” came the spontaneous creation of new symmetrical entities -- those in the form of subatomic particles, atoms, stars, galaxies...

This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that the degree of disorder or entropy of an isolated system always increases with the forward movement of time.

Apparently in reality, this law have been overridden and superseded by Quantum Laws which determine atomic structures. And it is because of how the four fundamental forces of nature had so intricately holds the Universe in place to become what we observe today. Does it make sense?

In the beginning of the Bible, it mentions creations and the ending of the Bible it reveal the destruction of our world. The last few verses in the last chapter of the Bible serves as a warning to its readers.

2 Peter 3:3-13

Above all, understand this: In the last days blatant scoffers will come, being propelled by their own evil urges and saying, “Where is his promised return? For ever since our ancestors died, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water. Through these things the world existing at that time was destroyed when it was deluged with water. But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, by being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, that a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; when it comes, the heavens will disappear with a horrific noise, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze, and the earth and every deed done on it will be laid bare. Since all these things are to melt away in this manner, what sort of people must we be, conducting our lives in holiness and godliness, while waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God? Because of this day, the heavens will be burned up and dissolve, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze! But, according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness truly resides.

What was the motivation behind the creation of the world, that physicists called the Big Bang? Is the prophecy of 2 Peter 3:10-12 refering to the destruction of our solar system in a supernova? Was creation really an accidental occurrence that appeared out of no where?

Was life an accident ?

The bible gave us clues to the purposes of life. The new heaven and new earth is said to be where righteousness will exist. The moon, sun and stars are meant to be sign for giving man understanding of the time and seasons that God called His appointed time.

The bible revealed in John 1:1-4 that; “In the beginning was the Word (Logos = Logic ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that ”life was the light” of all mankind

In the Bible, the Book of John starts with the description of God. And God was described as “The Word”. In the original Greek text “The Word” is “Logos”, in english it means “logic”. God “utter the logic” and all of creations came into existence. The phrase went on to explain that God is the source of light and it is this light that gave life. Without which nothing can exist. Without the theory of the Scientific world, it is difficult to understand the full implications of this statement in John 1:1-4.

The sovereign God through the word of prophet Isaiah announces what He had to say:

“With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared? Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it. They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot it cannot move. Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer; it cannot save them from their troubles. “Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do. (Isaiah 46:5-11)

There are so many “gods” in this world because mankind have been creating their own images of God and professing to be God. The above scripture in Isaiah 46:5-11 state the fact. Of course not everybody agree with the claim that the bible is the inspired word of The One and Only God. However placing this argument aside for the moment, let us consider what science have to say.

We may have seen the handiwork of the “Big Bang”, but mankind surely did not understand the greater purposes of this existence we call “creation”. The biblical story was scripted from the beginning to the end as announced by the prophets of old. The Bible tell us that God’s purposes was carried through time by a chosen people and that the secrets of life are encoded in an ancient book called “The Holy Bible”.

What has the law, light and physics got to do with the story of creation ? The creator, if there is one, who created the world we live in, is definitely a law maker. Laws were needed to run everything, from computer programming, social law, scientific law and the list goes on.

Who are the Edomite today ?

The Huaxia is the earliest Chinese dynasty to emerge ~2000 BC along the Yellow River. This population grew from the Central Plain area and later became established as the Han Chinese during the Han Dynasty (206 BC to 220 AD). Throughout history, the Han Chinese continued to have complex interactions with surrounding ethnic minority groups in their vicinity [1, 2], whose details are being studied and debated by historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and geneticists.

Ancient DNA reveals genetic connections between early Di-Qiang and Han Chinese

Mogou harbors the earliest genetically identifiable Di-Qiang, ancestral to the Taojiazhai, and up to ~33% paternal and ~70% of its maternal haplogroups could be found in present-day Northern Han Chinese.

Blue colour - Han Chinese with O type YDNA

Orange colour - Turkic people with C type YDNA

It depends on the definition of Turkish. The word “Turkish” means mostly a citizen of Turkey who speaks Turkish (a Turkic language which belongs to Oghuz branch) as his/her native language. For our kinsmen, we mostly use the word “Turkic” in English language. But if you use the word Turkish for all Turkic people (which by the way except Turkey and Azerbaijan most of the other Turkic nations reject this definition) we can say;

Turks of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Macedonia, Moldavia are Turks which belong to Oghuz branch.

Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, Kipchaks are Turks which belong to Kypchak branch.

Tuvans, Yakuts (Sakha) are Turks which belong to Siberian branch.

Khazars and Bulgars were Turks who spoke mostly old Turkish. But don’t confuse Bulgars with Bulgarians; Turkic Bulgars gave their name to Bulgaria but today, Bulgarians are a Slavic people. Now the closest relatives of Old Bulgars are Chuvash people who live in Russia, which they’re also Turkic.

Hui are Muslim Chinese people, they’ve no connections with Turks linguistically.

Burtas are disputed but most probably they’re Uralic.

Magyars are Uralic people who had vast similiarities with Turkic people when both of them were sharing the same belief sytstem (Tengriism); but they’re not Turks. Still they’re linguistically closer to Turkic languages than Indo-European languages. During their invasion of Pannonia (today’s Hungary), their country was known as Western Turkey by Eastern Roman Empire because of cultural similarity.

"C-M216", an SNP that is now regarded as synonymous with C-M130 – (xM8, M38, M217, M210, M356) have been found in 3.9% (3/77) of a sample of the general population of Kathmandu, Nepal.^[21] Other examples of C-M216 have been reported among Mongol and Turkic peoples, including the: Jalairs, Tatars, Kazakhs, Crimean Tatars, Merkits, Jochids and Uzbeks

In human genetics, Haplogroup C is a Y-chromosome haplogroup, defined by UEPs M130/RPS4Y711, M216, P184, P255, and P260, which are all SNP mutations. It is a sibling clade of Haplogroup F, within the more ancient grouping of Haplogroup CF. Unlike some other human Y-DNA clades of a similar age depth, all clades of Haplogroup CF are non-African; that is, they do not occur exclusively in Africa, unlike A and B. Haplogroup C in particular appears to be one of the Y-DNA clades which dispersed especially early towards the east; its phylogeographic distribution supports a single coastal Out-of-Africa route by way of the Indian subcontinent, which eventually led to the early settlement of modern humans in mainland Southeast Asia.^[1]

ORIGINS

Haplogroup C seems to have come into existence shortly after SNP mutationM168 occurred for the first time, bringing the modern Haplogroup CT into existence, from which Haplogroup CF, and in turn Haplogroup C, derived. This was probably at least 60,000 years before present. Although Haplogroup C attains its highest frequencies among the indigenous populations of Mongolia, the Russian Far East, Polynesia, Australia, and at moderate frequency in the Korean Peninsula and among the Manchus, it displays high diversity among modern populations of India. It is hypothesized that Haplogroup C either originated or underwent its longest period of evolution within India or the greater South Asian coastal region. The highest diversity is observed in Southeast Asia, and its northward expansion in East Asia started approximately 40,000 years ago.^[1]
It represents a great coastal migration along Southern Asia, into Southeast Asia and Australia, and up the East Asian coast. It is believed to have migrated to the Americas some 6,000-8,000 years before present, and was carried by Na-Dené-speaking peoples into the northwest Pacific coast of North America. Some have hypothesized that Haplogroups C and D were brought together to East Asia by a single population that became the first successful modern human colonizers of that region, but at present the distributions of Haplogroups C and D are different, with various subtypes of Haplogroup C being found at high frequency among the Australian aborigines, Polynesians, Vietnamese, Kazakhs, Mongolians, Manchurians, Koreans, and indigenous inhabitants of the Russian Far East; and at moderate frequencies elsewhere throughout Asia and Oceania, including India and Southeast Asia; whereas Haplogroup D is found at high frequencies only among the Tibetans, Japanese peoples, and Andaman Islanders, and has been found neither in India nor among the aboriginal inhabitants of the Americas or Oceania.

Supernovas

1054AD

A total eclipse of the Sun occurred on 10 May, 1054 UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 07:19 UT. A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 3 minutes and 2 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a path up to 108 km wide.

The total eclipse lasted for 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 07:19:02 UT.

In the early morning of July 4th, 1054 A.D. a guest star was seen in the constellation of Taurus. Chinese government officials recorded the addition of the guest star. This supernova, now called Messier 1, The Crab Nebula. a supernova that occurs within our galactic neighborhood here in the Milky Way Galaxy that is equally as visible.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1054#/media/File:Crab_Nebula.jpg

The East–West Schism, also called the Great Schismand the Schism of 1054, was the break of communion between what are now the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox churches, which has lasted since the 11th century.

1572AD A total eclipse of the Sun occurred on 15 January, 1572 UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 07:35 UT. A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 7 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 166 km wide.

Supernova SN 1572 is first observed in the constellation Cassiopeia, by Cornelius Gemma. Tycho Brahe, who notes it two days later, will use it to challenge the prevailing view that stars do not change.^[3] The supernova remnant remains visible through 1574.

Pope Gregory XIII (Latin: Gregorius XIII; 7 January 1502 – 10 April 1585), born Ugo Boncompagni, was Pope of the Catholic Church from 13 May 1572 to his death in 1585. He is best known for commissioning and being the namesake for the Gregorian calendar, which remains the internationally accepted civil calendar to this day.

1604AD A total eclipse of the Sun occurred on Friday 22 October, 1604 UT (12 Oct, 1604 Old Style), with maximum eclipse at 21:01 UT. A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 12 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 188 km wide.

1843AD

The total eclipse lasted for 5 minutes and 12 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 21:01:55 UT.

A total eclipse of the Sun occurred on Thursday 21 December, 1843 UT (9 Dec, 1843 Old Style), with maximum eclipse at 05:03 UT. The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 43 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a narrow path at most 66 km wide.

2005ADIn 2005 A 14th-magnitude supernova has appeared in a spiral arm of the Whirlpool Galaxy, M51 in Canes Venatici, high overhead these evenings. Although the supernova is probably too faint for most visual observers, it's well within reach of astro-imagers.

Supernova 2005cs was discovered on June 28th by amateur supernova hunter Wolfgang Kloehr of Schweinfurt, Germany, in a CCD image that he took with an 8-inch reflector. A spectrum obtained on June 30th by Robert Hutchins with the Whipple Observatory 1.5-meter telescope in Arizona showed it to be a Type II supernova: the hydrogen-rich explosion of a giant star whose massive core collapsed to become a neutron star or black hole.

M51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, is a grand design spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It's one of the most famous galaxies in the sky, appearing face-on when viewed from Earth. At magnitude +8.4, it's relatively bright and visible in binoculars, especially from dark sites. M51 has a much smaller dwarf companion, known as NGC 5195, and together they form the finest and most studied example of an interacting galaxy pair in the sky.

M51 was one of Charles Messier original discoveries on October 13, 1773. His friend Pierre Méchain discovered NGC 5195 on March 20, 1781. Messier described M51, as a faint nebula without stars, that was difficult to see. In his catalogue of 1781, he put M51 and NGC 5195 in the same note and therefore some confusion exists. Was he referring to M51 as the larger galaxy, or did he mean the pair itself. If it was the pair, then the main galaxy should really be referred to as M51A, with NGC 5195 separately known as M51B.

http://earthsky.org/science-wire/when-will-all-five-visible-planets-appear-simultaneously

It must be time to unleash the Titans: five of the planets in our Solar System will align diagonally in the predawn night sky starting tomorrow morning. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will all be visible with the naked eye starting January 20th and lasting until about February 20th.

The last time a planetary party like this happened was in 2005. It's also slated to happen again later this year in August. Unfortunately, these are the only planets that can ever get together like this. Neptune and Pluto are too far away to ever be seen without a telescope, and Uranus can only sometimes be seen in the middle of a dark sky without any help.

The last time we saw all five visible planets together was from about December 15, 2004, to January 15, 2005, over a decade ago.

Many people around the world witnessed the moon sweeping by all five visible (naked-eye) planets from late January until February 7, 2016. See the chart below. But you still can see all these planets together in the morning sky for at least another week.

When will we see all five planets together again? We’ve had a number of people ask us when the next presentation of the five visible planets in the same sky will take place. It will be possible to view all five in the evening sky – very briefly – from about August 13 to 19, 2016.

Solar Eclipses, 1940–1921 BC

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).

11 Mar, 1940 BC max: 23:02 UT Partial Solar Eclipse (umbral mag. 0.61; Saros -11)	A moderate partial eclipse, with 61% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

Historical Synchronisms and the Date of the Exodus

2017-06-29T00:24:00.001+08:00

“According to 1 Kings 6:1, the exodus occurred 480 years prior to the laying of the foundations of Solomon’s temple. This Solomon undertook in his fourth year, 966 B.C., so the exodus according to normal hermeneutics and serious appraisal of the biblical chronological data, took place in 1446 [B.C.].”[4]
http://crossexamined.org/ancient-israel-myth-or-history-part-3c/From chronological considerations found in the biblical text[8],

it is very possible that Amenhotep I was the pharaoh who issued the decree in Exodus 1:15-16 to kill all male Hebrews. As we look closer at this time frame in Egyptian history we also discover that Thutmose I (1528-1508 B.C.), the son of Amenhotep I, had a daughter named Hatshepsut. Hatshepsut is fairly well known from historical and archaeological sources and has a very interesting story herself. In order to secure royal inheritance rights for herself, Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose II. When Thutmose II died prematurely, Hatshepsut assumed the role of pharaoh along with and her younger (male) nephew (& stepson) Thutmose III.

The Pharaoh of the Exodus

Finally, we consider the identity of the famous pharaoh of the biblical exodus. Following the conclusions of the above discussion, and if the revised chronology of Egyptian history is correct, then Amenhotep II (1450-1425 B.C.) must be the pharaoh of the biblical exodus.

http://www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2008/11/Historical-Synchronisms-and-the-Date-of-the-Exodus.aspx
After the judges, the period of the United Monarchy lasted ca. 120 years (according to the Bible, 40 years each for Saul, David, and Solomon). After the death of Solomon, the kingdom of Israel divided into northern and southern kingdoms, Israel and Judah.

From this division to the death of Ahab, using the most probable calculations on divided monarchy chronology, was just short of 80 years.

(Ahab was the seventh king of Israel since Jeroboam I, the son and successor of Omri, and the husband of Jezebel of Sidon, according to the Hebrew Scriptures)

First, let us observe Biblical events and personages between the Exodus and a known date in Near Eastern history, the date of the famous Battle of Qarqar, where a coalition of western kings defeated Shalmaneser III of Assyria. It is accepted, thanks to astronomical data and our solid knowledge of Assyrian chronology, that the battle took place in 853 BC. It is also known that Ahab, king of Israel, was a participant in the battle. Shalmaneser III tells us so in his records regarding Qarqar. Ahab almost certainly died later that same year.1

Kurkh Stela depicting Shalmaneser III king of Assyria. Found in Kurkh, Turkey, now on display in the British Museum this stone monument records campaigns against the Arameans in Syria. The campaign of year six, 853 BC mentions Ahab, king of Israel, as being a member of an anti-Assyrian coalition that confronted the Assyrians at Qarqar in western Syria. The section referring to Ahab reads, “I approached the city of Qarqar. I razed, destroyed and burned the city of Qarqar, his [Irhulēni the Hamathite’s] royal city. 1,200 chariots, 1,200 cavalry, (and) 20,000 troops of Hadad-ezer (Adadidri) of Damascus; 700 chariots, 700 cavalry, (and) 10,000 troops of Irhulēni, the Hamathite; 2,000 chariots, (and) 10,000 troops of Ahab, the Israelite...” (Younger 2000:263).

Closeup of Shalmaneser III, on the famous Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser found at Nimrud, ancient Calah, Iraq, in 1846. This 2m (6 ½ ft) tall, four-sided polished black stone monument is now on display in the British Museum. Although not mentioning Ahab, the obelisk’s cuneiform text does mention another king of Israel. On one side, the second register from the top depicts a man kneeling before Shalmaneser with the inscription, “Tribute of Jehu son of Omri.” Jehu ruled ca. 841–814 BC and he probably paid tribute to Shalmaneser in the first year of his reign.

Note that in order to formulate such a treaty, both of these kings would have to have ruled at the same time. But the interesting part of all this is the following: Hattusilis III also corresponded with the Assyrian king Shalmaneser I (ca. 1275–1245 BC). Consequently, Shalmaneser I must have been a contemporary of Rameses II as well. And we know roughly how many years there are between Shalmaneser I and his namesake Shalmaneser III: slightly over 400. Since we know that Shalmaneser III lived in the 800’s, Shalmaneser I and hence Rameses II must have lived in the 1200’s.

One of the Egyptian copies of the treaty between Rameses II and the Hittites carved into a wall of the Temple of Amun at Karnak. After 20 years of fighting, the treaty was concluded in Rameses II’s 21st year, ca. 1258 BC, corresponding to the later part of the period of Judges in Biblical history. Thirteen years later the treaty was further cemented by the marriage of a Hittite princess to Rameses II. A Hittite copy of the treaty was discovered on two clay tablets written in Babylonian cuneiform found at the Hittite capital of Boghazköy in Turkey.

We need to embrace our enemies, what's more when they are our brothers!

Headline: Israelite History and the Boston Marathon Bombing

BY SIMCHA JACOBOVICI · APRIL 25, 2013 · QUEST FOR THE LOST TRIBES ·

You might not think that there is a connection between the Boston marathon bombing and Israelite history but, unfortunately, there is. Sixteen years ago I made a film called “Quest for the Lost Tribes” (http://www.apltd.ca/store/5). Basically, the thesis of the film is that the so called “lost tribes” of Israel i.e., ten Israelite tribes that were taken into exile some 2,700 years ago and disappeared from Western history, were actually very much not lost. The Bible tells us that they were taken to a place called Havor on the River Gozan and today the Havor Pass, known by its anglicized name as the Khyber Pass, is close to the Pakistani city of Peshawar, which also means the city of Havor. It is on the River Gazni. In other words, the place that the Bible describes exists on the Pakistani-Afghan border and, what do you know, there are 16 million people living there that call themselves “Bani Israel” i.e., “the children of Israel”.

http://www.simchajtv.com/headline-israelite-history-and-the-boston-marathon-bombing/

“Afghani elder next to an ancient inscription made up of Aramaic/Hebrew letters.”

They still live in tribal structures corresponding to the Biblical tribes. The tribe of Ephraim is now called Afridi, Gad is called Gadun, Reuven is called Rabani and so on. There is even a tribe called the Yusufsai i.e., the children of Joseph (http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/2.209/could-the-taliban-be-genetically-linked-to-the-jews-1.261447). We traveled to the Khyber Pass sixteen years ago and moved among the people that we call Afghans or Pathans. They call themselves Pashtun or Puchtu and they say that they are Israelites. Our film documented the many, many connections between the modern Afghani tribes and the ancient Israelites. Since the return of the tribes is prophesied in the Bible, I assumed that the discovery of the tribes would have a great impact on a Western audience. At the very least among Israelis, Jews in general and Christians. After all, the fate of the lost tribes of Israel is tied up with the fate of all Israel.

The film did pretty well in the ratings and has a bit of a cult following, but it didn’t change history. Several times I met up with academics who scoffed. They couldn’t believe that this is real. One told me that the Afghanis had “made up an Israelite history so that they could feel important”. When I asked him why 16 million Muslims would want to invent a Jewish past, he had no answer. In fact, not only did they not make up an Israelite history for themselves, some of them denied it. When we were in the tribal territories on the Afghani-Pakistani border, we found that the Jihadists rejected their Israelite background. During the second World War, a theory took hold that the Pathans were of “Aryan” stock. I guess faced with the power of Nazi Germany some Afghans preferred to be Aryans rather than Jews. This theory was resuscitated by Jihadists who didn’t want to be connected in any way, shape or form with Israel – ancient or modern. But these people were in the minority. Even members of the Taliban told me that they are the descendants of Israelites. They pointed out that the very name “Afghanistan” means “the land of Afghan”. Afghan, they said, was a son of Saul, the first king of Israel. He fled to this area, they said, to get away from King David who took over the throne. In other words, from the perspective of the Afghans, the very name of the country is Israelite in origin. They also pointed out that the name of their capital, “Kabul”, appears twice in the Bible (Joshua 19:27 and Kings 9:13). There were two Kabuls in ancient Israel. One mentioned as a city conquered by Joshua, and the other in the north of Israel. The tribes of Israel, they said, transplanted Israelite city names to their place of exile. Even the mountain range next to their capital is called “Suliman,” after King Solomon. All these Israelite connections are common knowledge in Afghanistan.

A few times I approached some US defense ministry types with this history. They weren’t particularly interested. “What’s the point?” they asked. “The point,” I said, “is that you should connect with these people by connecting with their history. They are not necessarily anti-Western. They are not anti-Israel. The Taliban is a political movement that is the creation of Pakistani Intelligence. It’s a foreign implant. If you want to undermine Jihadism, connect with the Bani Israel’s natural Israelitism.” To illustrate my argument, I pointed out that in the Bible there were “cities of refuge” in ancient Israel. The only place where that tradition continues is among Afghanis. Unlike Western intelligence services, Bin Laden understood the Israelite ideology of the Pashtun and took residence for a long time in a city of refuge. He knew the Pathans would never give up someone who has taken refuge in such a protected environment. Unlike the West, he used the Afghanis’ Israelite beliefs to his advantage. Again, no one paid attention.

Now a distressing trend is taking shape. Some of the Jihadists have changed their minds. They are no longer saying that they are Aryans. They are no longer denying their Israelite past, they are embracing it – but with a twist. Instead of returning to their Israelite roots they are using their history to rationalize Islamic terrorism. One of the videos posted on the deceased suspect’s YouTube page is a Jihadist propaganda film (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/04/19/do-social-media-profile-youtube-videos-belong-to-the-boston-bombers/). Basically, it uses hypnotic music and images of “glorious” fighters along with quotes from various Islamic texts to make an End of Days prophecy. The video is called “The Emergence of Prophecy: The Black Flags From Khorasan”. It quotes a hadith, a prophecy ascribed to Mohammad, which states that in the End of Days the “Mahdi” i.e., the Muslim messiah, will emerge from the area of Afghanistan. It states that this messiah figure will lead an army for Islam and that he will not be an Arab. Rather, he will be an Israelite. Basically, this Jihadist ideology attempts to hijack the Israelite history of the Afghans and put it to the service of Islamic fundamentalism and an ideology of terror. The Jihadists use all kinds of clips to enhance their video including one from a Hollywood film and the other from my “Quest for the Lost Tribes”.

So I want to come back to my original point – when I went to the Afghan tribal territories sixteen years ago, hardly anyone cared about Afghanistan. Then, after 9/11, people cared about conquering the area but not about learning its history. You can’t fight ideology with brute force. The only way to fight them is to understand them. You can’t entice them with liberalism. It’s simply not attractive to them. But you can mobilize them by connecting with them. The Pakistanis understood that and they created the Taliban so that they could control Afghanistan by Islamic proxy. The West should take a page out of the Jihadist propaganda book. We should be using the Afghans’ Israelite history to connect with them on a primordial level that they can identify with and understand.

Put simply, we must approach the people of Afghanistan as Israelites and they will respond as Israelites. At least some of them. The West may scoff at their Israelite claims, but they take their own history seriously. Approach them as Israelites and they may connect with modern Israel and its allies, primarily the United States. I know. I moved among these people and they embraced me as a brother. It’s time that we reached out to them and let them know that their natural allies are not Islamic fundamentalists. Rather, because modern Israel is part of the Western sphere, the natural allies of the Afghan people are Westerners.

The Afghans call their holy law “Puchtuwalli” i.e., the law of the Pathans, the law of the Bani Israel. They respect this law before they respect even the Koran. Puchtuwalli is basically the written Torah. Biblical laws without the context of the oral law. In their books, an “eye for an eye” is a literal statement. But this law, even in its basic form, is a common basis for a relationship. They’ve been separated from their fellow Israelites for too long, but there is a bridge. The bridge is not Western liberalism, it’s their Israelite consciousness. It’s time that the poison of the “Black Flags From Khorasan” ideology is neutralized. The only way to do this is by working within the matrix of their own psyche. The only way to fight bad ideology is with good ideology.

Who are the Zhou?

2017-06-15T23:04:00.003+08:00

Zhou - Chao Dynasty, 1066-221 BC specifically, Western Chou (founded by Wu) 1066-771 BC, Eastern Chou 800-300 BC, with states at War 770-221. Here was contact with these Turko-Tatar (Turanian) people. This entire Dynasty was a dynasty ruled by non-Han (non-Chinese) people from the north who were called Hsiung-nu and Tung-i. They were Turkic people. They had defeated the Shang. History explains and details that these rulers were very different in appearance from the Chinese Han who were known for black hair and a general cast of features. Some of these other non-Chinese people even had light or reddish hair.

The Chou, by now thoroughly Chinese, pressed by yet other northern Turkic people, moved their capital to Lo-yang. As we can see, the Turkic people were coming in waves into the Far East. The Northern regions had the nations of Yen, a newly named Chou, Wei and Han. The Middle nations were Ch'i, Lu and Sung. The Southern nations were Ch'u, Wu and Yueh. The nation of Ch'in were the lands of the Old Chao. The three southern lands had people in them that did not speak Chinese and had non-Chinese customs. This is the Warring States Period so well known in Chinese history, that lasted from 770-221 BC.
Qin - Ch'in or Chin Dynasty, 221-206 BC. The time of the great Emperor Chin (Qin Shi Huangdi) after whom China is named, as an entire nation. He also merged the walls that were partially built during the Warring States period into one Great Wall. He merged the Great Wall to keep these Turkic invaders out.
Han Dynasty: Western 206 BC - 25 AD; Eastern 25-221 AD (Emperor Gao Zu also called Lui Bang). The Juan-juan and Hsiung-nu, both Turkic peoples, started to move slowly to the West and settled in East and Central Europe. As Tani Jantsang noted, these people and the rest of those invading China did not resemble the Chinese at all. In other words, on the street, no one would be confused about what kind of people they were as they are when they see Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tibetan, modern-day Outer Mongol (Khalka) and so forth today. There are many written, detailed descriptions of them in Chinese history.

King Chedorlaomer

2017-06-06T17:09:00.001+08:00

http://sunofchedorlaomer.wikia.com/wiki/Chedorlaomer_I

Chedorlaomer I. (b. 2041 BC, or 39 BIA [Before Imperial Age], d. 1987 BC, 15 IA) also known as Chedorlaomer the Insurpassible was the 47th king of Elam and 1st Emperor of Chedorlaomer, and 12th Generation descendant of the King who began definite Elamite unification, Eparti I. He reigned in Elam 2013-1987 BC , and as emperor of Chedorlaomer 2002-1987.

He was the son of Hutran-tepti IV of Elam, and Ammashish (The Blessed Mother), the daughter of Marduk-Zakir-Shum Ruhurater-Atta (Chief Minister of the Kingdom of Elam 2041-2038 BC) and was the heir to the throne until his father was dethroned by his siblings, Chedorlaomer's uncles, the successive kings Idaddu IX and Kidinu II. His father was supported in his ascension and rule by Humban-Shutur III, Lugal of Anshan and Malamir, and after his deposition Chedorlaomer resided at Humban-Shutur III's court.

In 2014 BC King Kidinu II issued an ultimatum to Humban-Shutur to hand over Hutran-tepti and his son, or face military invasion and deposition and death. This resulted in Humban-Shutur III deciding to definitely side with Hutran-tepti's cause and soon Humban-Shutur openly declared himself against King Kidinu, and called upon all the Kings in the land of Elam to do so.

The coalition, consisting of Shurri-Shamash VII, Ensi of Malamir and Prince Kikku-Sive-Temti of Shimashkimwho'se father was deposed when the position of Ensi of Shimashki was abolished by Chedorlaomer I's father Hutran-tepti IV, with the remnants of his followers and his fathers Royal Guard, marched on Susa in what is considered the First of the Great Imperial Battles, despite taking place eleven years before the Proclamation of the Empire, and is formally named "The Last Great Battle of Susa".

The battle in Susa, though hopeless for King Kidinu, as most of his men were stationed at the boarder with Warahshe at the time, was not swift and dragged on for many days. Only after most of his officers refused to fight did King Kidinu surrender, removing the Horned Crown from his head during negotiations. Humban-Shutur III then, surprisingly, did not send for Hutran-tepti, who had remained at Anshan to keep it as a power base for the rebels in case their first assault was repeled, but instead Humban-Shutur chose Hutran-tepti's son Chedorlaomer to become King, due to fears that, should there be no new King put on the throne soon, the nobles who had turned on King Kidinu could easily turn on Humban Shutur as well. Humban Shutur also knew the other Kings and Princes in his alliance would never permit himself to take the throne, and he would meet the same faith as Idaddu IX and Kidinu II.

After ascending to the throne Chedorlaomer named Humban-Shutur III as Sukkal Anshan and restored the autonomy of Shimashki, naming Kikku-Sive-Temti as Ensi Kikku-Sive-Temti X of Shimashki. He also confirmed, in 2012 BC, by special edict, the indepence of the city of Bit-Imbi, it's status as a "sovereign kingdom within the land of Elam", and renewed the pledge of Girnamme I before the image of Narunte, to protect the King of Bit-Imbi and his realm. As a result Atar II of Bit-Imbi later joined Chedorlaomer's forces during the Battle of Sodom, despite Chedorlaomer assuring him he had no obligation to fight for him, unlike the other kings in his alliance, because Atar II was a sovereign ruler.

The Emperor named his brother Šimut-Gamil as Viceroy in 2013 BC.

Following the fall of Kidinu II Napkurkur I the King of Tukrish rebelled, asserting the independence of his city. The Emperor did not besiege Tukrish or act in any way against it. Soon, following an incursion of brigands from neighbouring countries, King Napkurkur went to the Emperor himself to swear alleigance and ask for protection. In 2012 BC Chedorlaomer I arranged for a marriage between himself and Manzit-utuku, younger sister of Napkurkur and the marriage of his brother Šimut-Gamil with Napkurkur's other sister Melir-Nahunte.

The Emperor felt a great deal of respect towards the Kings of Kiprat from the House of Latete due to their constant aid to Eparti I and his successors during the process of unifying Elam. So in 2012 BC he married Nahintiti, Princess of Kiprat, younger sister of King Elala II. as his first secondary wife.

In 2011 BC La'ibum I, King of Warahshe sent the former King of Elam Idaddu IX to Susa as a prisoner, in an attempt to win over Chedorlaomer's favour. Idaddu IX's had previously been a guest at La'ibum's court until his deposition in 2015 BC. Chedorlaomer had the former King imprisoned for a year, releasing him in 2010 BC, with his style and status as Royal Prince restored. Chedorlaomer then attempted to make Idaddu IX accept the post as Chief of the Royal Granaries of Susa, however Inanna-amamu (I), the first Amma Haštuk and the Emperor's younger sister, convinced him to recall his "offer".

In 2007 BC he defeated a rebelion of some nobles organised in the favour of Palar-Ishshan Kidinu, son of former King Kidinu II. Chedorlaomer first learned of the cospiracy after Idaddu IX alerted royal authorities to it, following the group contacting him and trying to gain his support. As a reward for his loyalty, Idaddu was named Ensi of Liyan, becoming the first Ensi since Kidin-Hutran II conquered the city in 2066 BC. While the organisers were severly punished, Palar-Ishshan Kidinu was absolved of all guilt and received the culprits confiscated lands as compensation and named En of a small town who'se name was changed to Dur Palar. Similarily Palar-Ishshan's sister Nin-Azu was named Nin of Dur-Ninazu, another of the small confiscated towns. In 2006 BC Chedorlaomer I then took Nin-Azu as his second secondary wife.

In 2003 BC the cities of Soddom, Gomorah, Admah, Zeboyim and Bala-Zoar revolted against the taxation and vassalship imposed on them by Elam. Šimut-Gamil was sent as an emissary by Chedorlaomer, however Akdi II, King of Admah, refused to admit Šimut-Gamil, and then ordered his entire entourage arrested and Šimut-Gamil's horses and belongings confiscated, forcing him to walk for two days to reach the nearest allied town.

After hearing this Chedorlaomer prepared to go to war with the rebelious cities, however before his armies and allies could be summoned together, a strange man appeared out of nowhere at the Elamite court. He identified himself as the Sun Prophet and told Chedorlaomer that only one who is God can defeat the armies of the Sodom Alliance. Then in the next year at the Battle of Sodom due to a percieved miracle whereby the walls of Sodom gave way suddenly and burried the King of Admah and Gomorrah alive, along with most of the armies lieutenants, Chedorlaomer won the battle which had seemed lost. After defeating the Five cities of the plain he declared himself a living deity and made claim to rulership over all the Earth and began a campaign to subdue all surrounding nations. Hishbesh Simut-Atta (I), his personal favourite, chief of his Guard, Liuetenant and combatant at the battle of Sodom was named the first Magupati of the newly established Temple of the First Emperor.

Ensi Beli-Arik IV of Malamir, who fought at his side, died in the war, burried under the walls of Sodom. To show his gratitude towards a man he previously mistrusted, he confirmed the Badatma's holding of the title of Ensi, and married his son Chedorlaomer III to one of the late Beli-Arik's daughters, Kuri-Ti. The new Ensi of Malamir Mesag XV became a member of the Emperor's circle of advisors, becoming his chief advisor in 2002. It was Mesag XV who interpreted the words of the Sun Prophet to mean that Chedorlaomer I should name himself Emperor and sovereign of the whole world by "ascension to earthly divinity". The Emperor first refused this, and the court attempted to persuade him to dismiss Mesag, however after a "haunting dream" Chedorlaomer I proclaimed the "truth" of Mesag's words and, on the steps of the royal palace of Susa, declared the Chedorlaomerian World Empire.

Chedorlaomer also summoned former King Kidinu II and named him one of his Generals during the war. King Kidinu did well despite his age and after the battle Chedorlaomer offered him the post of the King of Admah. Kidinu accepted, and his youngest son Unpahash-Napirisha Tannanu began to rule Admah in Kidinu's name. After Kidinu's death in 1997 BC, the Kingship of Admah came to Unpahash-Napirisha Tannanu, as his oldest brother Palar-Ishshan Kidinu feared the Emperor would not permit him to increase the extent of his dominions, not being truly trusted.

Despite Chedorlaomer's attempts, during his life only two nations, besides Elam ,became a permanent part of the empire : Babylon (1995 BC) and Ebla (1988 BC), whose King he had deposed and impaled for defiance after he took Ebla by force. The Kingdom of Eridu became the first entity that would later be called a "Imperial Member Nation", under the rule King-Pries Sheriga IV in 1992 BC, Sheriga IV formally giving Chedorlaomer I his blessing for his cause, in a ceremony in Eridu.

After the war was won he took Rabel, the King of Sodom, to Susa as a prisoner, while releasing the Kings of Zeboyim and Bala-Zoar. The individual Kings continued to rule as Vassals of the Empire under heavy tribute, King Rabel being represented by his son Abadat until he was released by Chedorlaomer in 1996 BC/6 IA.

The Emperor, despite his stern nature, always listened to the council of his chief wife, his mother and his sister, Inanna-amamu (I), the first Amma Haštuk.

In 2021 BC he married Ahasunu, daughter of the contemporary Chief Minister of Elam, Elulu-Mesh Hishmitik-Atta. With her he had issue

Chedorlaomer II, b. 2020 BC
Chedorlaomer III, b. 2018 BC

Prince Igibuni Chedorlaomer, b. 2004 BC

Upon his death he was succeeded by his son Chedorlaomer II.

Even after his death he continues to be venerated as a supreme deity, primarily in the Temple of the First Emperor in Susa.

Oḡuz: Is he Gog?

2017-05-31T21:52:00.001+08:00

The Tāriḵ-e Oḡuz begins with a short genealogical and topographical introduction connecting the family of Oḡuz to that of Japheth, or Öljey/Oljāy Khan, as he is called in the text, and his son Dib Yāwqu Khan, who lived nomadic life around the lakes of Issyk-Kul and Balkhash.

Oḡuz was born to the family of Qarā Khan, son of Dib Yāwqu Khan, and his unnamed wife (Rašid-al-Din, 2005, pp. 1-2). There are three main themes in the following story of Oḡuz: conversion, conquest, and etiology. Oḡuz was born as a monotheist; he first converted his mother by threatening her to starve himself to death, and then his wife, who was also his cousin. Oḡuz’s monotheism causes a cataclysmic clash between the generations, in which Oḡuz kills his father and two of his uncles (incidentally, the surviving uncles are portrayed as ancestors of the Mongols).

Then, Oḡuz sets out to conquer the entire world including India, Karal wa Bāšḡird (that is, the Hungarians and the Bashkirs), the land of the Dog-men (Qïl Baraq), the Land of Darkness (Qarā hulun), Šervān and Šemāḵi, Arrān and Muḡān, Diār Bakr and Šām, Kordestān, Rum (Anatolia) and Farang (Europe), Damascus, Baghdad, Kerman, ʿErāq-e ʿAjam, Māzandarān, Gorgān, Dehestān, Ḵorasān, and finally Qohestān (Rašid-al-Din, 2005, pp. 8-54).

The Oḡuz narrative is also an etiological myth, explaining the formation of the twenty-four Oḡuz tribes, as well as the Qarluq, Qalač, Qïpčaq (see QEPČĀQ), Qanglï, and the Mongols (Movāl).

Oḡuz divides his six sons into two main branches: Bozoq (Gün Khan, Ay Khan, and Yulduz Khan) and Üčoq (Gök Khan, Ṭaq Khan, and Dengiz Khan), and he stipulates that the Bozoq are always superior to the Üčoq. After Oḡuz’s death, Ïrqïl Ḵᵛāja, the advisor of his eldest son Gün Khan, recommends that Oḡuz’s twenty-four grandsons be organized in a way that future clashes among them can be avoided. Hence, the advisor gives a nickname to each grandson of Oḡuz and defines the tamḡas (brands of their animals) and the onquns (totemic animals) of each of them (Rašid-al-Din, 2005, pp. 53, 56; see the genealogical tree of the Oḡuz in TABLE 1).
