Expanding Universe

For years now, scientists have been postulating an expanding universe and the existence of unknown forms of dark matter and dark energy as the dominant components of our universe based upon their observations and current theories. The concept of multiple universes has been around as long metaphysicians explored their inner realities but it is exciting to see science stumble on to it with their "physical" instruments.

Seth had something to say about the appearance of an expanding universe in Session 42 (Volume 1 of the Early Sessions):

"The universe is continually being created. All universes are continually being created, and the appearance of expansion seen by your scientists is distortive for many reasons.
Their time measurements, based on camouflage to begin with, are almost riotously inadequate and bound to give distortive data, since the universe simply cannot be measured in these terms. The universe was not created at any particular time, but neither is it expanding into nowhere like an inflated balloon that grows forever larger, at least not along the lines now being considered. The expansion is an illusion, based among other things upon inadequate time measurements, upon the limited cause and effect theories; and yet in some manners the univese could be said to be expanding, but with entirely different connotations than are usually used."

In Seth's account of things, each universe "contains" an infinite number of planes (planes are like playgrounds where souls get together for a purpose), the multiverse "contains" an infinite number of universes and, presumably, there are planes which transcend universes and the multiverse! The multiverse interactions are being considered by some scientists as the origin of the dark matter/energy.

Kryon had a different take on expansion and dark matter/energy. They pointed out that there are actually 6 fundamental forces in our universe that can be arranged in three pairs (each pair with a strong and a weak component). At the scale of atoms and molecules the strong and weak forces dominate. At the scale of our perception, the scale of the planet and of the solar system; gravity and electromagnetism dominate. Beyond the solar system, at the scale of the galaxy, there is a whole new (unknown) pair of forces that account for the fact that our galaxy rotates like a rigid disk (violating Keppler's laws!). It makes one wonder if there are more force pairs beyond the galaxy and beyond the universe.

Neat!
