The universe is a macrocosm of life

[b1rdman]

Please bear with me...as this is a ToE it will take more than one post to complete...

Here it goes.
Being an Astronomy and Biology fanatic when I was younger it came to me that there are major similarities between the world we know, and the macrocosm we call the universe.

I will start at the small end and work my way up.

Solar systems very much resemble atoms.

Basic structure between the two are very similar.
An atom has a large nucleus which is circled by infinitesmal objects called electrons.
Solar systems have a large star in the middle and are circled by tiny objects called planets which in comparison to the star they circle are tiny blips. I should alo note that planets tend to circle around the ecliptic, or close to the plane of the solar equator, while comets (and Pluto) tend to orbit at approximately 17-20 degrees inclination to the ecliptic plane.

Atoms have a positive center surrounded by negative bits
Solar systems have stars which are constantly emitting protons (+) in the form of a solar wind and circled by planets which are constantly emitting electrons (-) in the form of a magnetic field.

Electron levels start small at the lower levels then increase to the middle and again get smaller.
Our solar system starts with Mercury and increases to Jupiter and Saturn before decreasing to Uranus, Neptune, and Kuiper Belt Objects

Atoms are found within a shell called the electron cloud.
Our solar system is surrounded by several boundaries including the Kuiper Belt, Oort Cloud, and the helio sphere.

Atoms vary in size
Stars vary in size

Atoms group together to form molecules.
Star systems group together to form binaries, trinaries, and clusters.

This is about all I can think of at this time, but there's more to it...unfortunately my brain isn't up to thining right now...on to the formation of the organism we call the universe.

Galaxies and cells bear several striking similarities.


Besides their obvious visual similarities, they also have the same working parts.

Endoplasmic reticulum appear to be arms within a cell
Galaxies have spiral arms.

Along the ER you find ribosomes which are resposible for building the compounds the cell needs to exist.

Along the galactic arms you find nebulae (frex, The Orion Nebula or Orion Melecular cloud) Which assembles stars, binaries, trinaries, and clusters of stars.


Cells have a nucleus
Galaxies have a galactic bulge

Within the cell's Nucleus is a nucleolus which takes in atoms and molecules and assembles them to be used troughout the cell
Within a galactic bulge is the circumnuclear disk which houses the Super-massive Black hole. It takes in (eats) matter and stars, what happens after this is unknown.

My favorite finding in support of this "theory".
Contained witin the cellular nucleus but outside the nucleolus is DNA. A double helix (extremely rare in nature) structure which acts as the brains and assembly instructions of the cell.

Within the galactic bulge (bordering the circumnuclear disk) is the DNA (or double helix) nebula. It's purpose is not yet known and cause is speculative, but seems to be twisting of magnetic fields due to the rotatioin of the CND around the BH, not the BH itself. This structure was discovered by Spitzer in 2005/6.

I would also like to note a comment by one of the scientists studying this phenomenon, Mark Morris, Professor at UCLA...
The DNA nebula is about 80 light-years long. It's about 300 light-years from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The nebula is nearly perpendicular to the black hole, moving out of the galaxy at a quick clip-about 620 miles per second (1,000 kilometers per second).
The recipe for a DNA nebula is strict but simple. It requires a strong magnetic field, a rotating body, and a nebulous cloud of material positioned just right.
Massive central black holes are the best sources for both the strong magnetic field and rotating body, and since most large galaxies have them, Morris expects DNA-like nebula may be common through out the universe.
"I absolutely expect to see [this configuration] in gas-rich galaxies with all these elements in place," Morris said.
However, these nebulas are tough to spot, and current technology limits scientists' observations to our galaxy.



I hope you found this portion of my hypothesis intriguing, if not enlightening...my brain has exhausted its capacity for thought for the evening...

Now that the basics are covered let me begin to elaborate a bit, sorry, time constraints on my elaboration...

Multicellular life starts with an egg or seed after fertilization the seed goes through a series of transitions and expansions.
Big Bang theory says the universe went through a similar situation, although the theory starts after the fertilization.

This ToE also answers questions of expansion and inflation, as the cells split and become organs, the multicellular life expands. As this expansion takes place the body runs out of material to build, it must consume the materials needed to thrive. As this consumption or inflation takes place more material is added to the body and the expansion continues.
The cells in the body's foot do not know where the material came from, it just knows that the new material is available.

I suggest the same holds true for the universe.

You have a very interesting theory there B1rdman. I too believe in the interrelationship of all things from the smallest to the largest. You also have excellent graphics to support your theory. Keep up the good work.

Best to you,

As far as time is concerned, I believe it's relative to the size of the object. The average atom has an electron revolution rate of approx 1,500 revs per sec.
I propose that the solar system has approx 1,500 revolutions (years) per "universal second". Part of the reason for this belief is that, the larger a thing is, the more time it takes to accomplish the same task. The longer it takes to do everything, the slower time seems to pass.
I also propose that the atoms which make up our, for lack of a better word, universe, are also solar system like, right down to the life living on the electrons. One second for us is 1,500 years for that life form.

The force that ties all other forces together is life. The universe can be broken down into a binary code. It is life or it isn't life. And life is energy.
Consciousness is the nature of energy to seek existance, to "live".

It may or may not be relavent, but it's definitely worth mentioning.

One of the things that has led me this conclusion is M82.

The Cigar Galaxy.

At about the time I first saw this galaxy I was also in high school biology learning about mitosis and this looked strikingly similar to a splitting eukaryote.


An X-ray image of M82

M82, at a distance of 11 million light years from Earth, is the nearest starburst galaxy. Massive stars are forming and expiring in M82 at a rate ten times higher than in our galaxy. The bright spots in the center of this Chandra X-ray image are supernova remnants and X-ray binaries. These
are some of the brightest such objects known. The luminosity of the X-ray binaries suggests that most contain a black hole. The diffuse X-ray light in the image extends over several thousand light years, and is caused by multimillion degree gas flowing out of M82. A close encounter with a large galaxy, M81, in the last 100 million years is thought to be the cause of the starburst activity.


Now I don't know the numbers NASA ran to come up with this conclusion, so I can't comment directly to this theory. I do think that M81 came out looking rather unscathed for this explanation to be 100% accurate.


All the popular satellites have been pointed at it since those day 18 yrs ago...















The red in this image is thought to be the same compound as you would find in car exhaust and other combustion reactions.

All and all I can't find any evidence to refute my claim that M82 is a galaxy going through mitosis. Although the evidence supporting the claim is equally lacking. I believe it is worth considering the concept.

I don't beleive that it is a matter of dimensions so much as perspectives.
Pardon the abstract example below. It was the best anaolgy I could render at the moment.

Regardless of sentience, a single celled organism will never fathom a human. It's perspective is too small. It would not be able to see the complete human, even with a telescope. A single ridge in your fingerprint would be the equivalent of a mountain to us, the complete finger equal to a planet.

Our perspective too, is limited by our size and location.

Hi B1rdman;

I agree with size and time being relative. A free neutron is only stable for ~ 13 minutes, but that would be near eternity at our level.

I somewhat disagree with this statement however:

Our perspective too, is limited by our size and location.

I believe that our consciousness and awareness has no size or location and is therefor able to comprehend the infinite.

Best to you B1rdman,

Pat

Absolutely b1rdman,like your ideas aplenty!Life just "IS"?

Would you agree that a human will never be able to fully fathom life or the universe? If there is a fractal relationship between life and the universe, could there be infinitesimal and infinitely-large humans?

[b1rdman]

could there be infinitesimal and infinitely-large humans?

That is my proposition.

Profpat,
Thank you for pointing out my miswording.
I think I used the wrong word when I said fathom. You can fathom or comprehend just about anything. However, the ability to prove anything is extremely limited when you are no more than a speck on an electron. Your experiments and observations are limited to what information is available to you at your particular location and the instruments which you use to make your observations.

mkirkpatrick,
I think what we call life is energy. What we call energy is life. The two are synonomous in existance, but differ by degree. I'm not sure of the frequency required for energy to become matter, but there is no difference between the two.
Energy/Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only change form. The fact that energy can be turned into matter and matter can be turned into energy tells me that the two are different sides of the same coin.

Thank you for your comments, all.
