The Universe: Space Speed of Light Expansion of Space
The Universe is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies,
and all other forms of matter and energy. While the spatial size of the entire Universe is still
unknown, it is possible to measure the observable universe.
The size of the Universe is somewhat difficult to define. According to the general theory of
relativity, some regions of space may never interact with ours even in the lifetime of the
Universe due to the finite speed of light and the ongoing expansion of space. For example,
radio messages sent from Earth may never reach some regions of space, even if the
Universe were to exist forever: space may expand faster than light can traverse it.
Distant regions of space are assumed to exist and to be part of reality as much as we are,
even though we can never interact with them. The spatial region that we can affect and be
affected by is the observable universe. The observable universe depends on the location of
the observer. By traveling, an observer can come into contact with a greater region of
spacetime than an observer who remains still. Nevertheless, even the most rapid traveler will
not be able to interact with all of space. Typically, the observable universe is taken to mean
the portion of the Universe that is observable from our vantage point in the Milky Way.
The physical Universe is defined as all of space and time (collectively referred to as
spacetime) and their contents. Such contents comprise all of energy in its various forms,
including electromagnetic radiation and matter, and therefore planets, moons, stars,
galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space. The Universe also includes the physical
laws that influence energy and matter, such as conservation laws, classical mechanics, and
relativity.
The Universe is often defined as "the totality of existence", or everything that exists,
everything that has existed, and everything that will exist. In fact, some philosophers and
scientists support the inclusion of ideas and abstract concepts – such as mathematics and
logic – in the definition of the Universe. The word universe may also refer to concepts such
as the cosmos, the world, and nature.
Below I present my own definition of the universe, i.e. the way I understand it. Please take
into account that the so-called omega parameter is an irrational idea (there is no place for
surrealism in physics). In nature, the predominant shape is the globular one.
The universe has no time point of its origin. What happened some 14 billion years ago, was
an accidental initiation of the process of matter formation (I've got my own, general idea of
how it happened).
Now we have to differentiate between the universe from beyond some 14 billion years and
of the present time one. My definition of the universe refers to both of their forms:
The pre-material universe:
The limited, spherical volume of space containing exclusively ether, separated by the
smallest physical reality, i.e. pure vacuum. “Beyond” the universe means lack of space.
The limited, spherical volume of space containing ether separated by the smallest physical
reality, i.e. pure vacuum and (containing) matter. All matter is concentrated (as I call it) in the
universal nucleus. “Beyond” the universe means lack of space.
Ether – the smallest, beyond Planck length, globular, without inner structure, primordial,
homogeneous, physical object, resembling dense fog from its perspective being at the same
time fundamental building block of all forms of matter. Structure of ether is the same as of
magnetic field, a bipolar motion of which is created by matter.
Space (before - accidental - origin of matter) - limited volume of ether and pure vacuum
Space (of present time) - limited volume of ether, matter and pure vacuum
Pure vacuum – the smallest physical reality between units of ether and in matter (as matter
is a complex form of ether)
The present time universe we could therefore liken to a turtle’s egg (obviously not to scale).
The “yolk” of the radius amounting to circa 4.6*10^10 l.y. constitutes (as I call it) the
universal nucleus containing all forms of matter (the centre).
The “white”, beyond the universal nucleus there is exclusively ether devoid of CMB. The
“eggshell” symbolises boundaries of the universe. My speculative calculation of the radius of
the universe amounts (minimum) to 6.2*10^117 l.y.
The universe is finite. There is nothing “beyond” it or lack of space. We are in the centre of
the universe taking into account the universal nucleus. But we are not, if we mean Milky
Way, then we are rather at its outskirts.
If somebody is missing the notion of time, I'd like to clarify, that it means nothing. Time
autonomously does not exist. Time is a synonym of motion / change which are abstract
notions if not referred to physical objects. I explained it using synonyms because the
definition of time is impossible. Time is the motion of anything in relation to anything. Also:
Time is the motion of any form of matter in relation to any form of matter. No changes of
something, no time of something = timelessness.
