The BIG BANG THEORY in Cosmology: How it applies to Metaphysics and your Life

Big Bang Theory in Cosmology

The Big Bang Theory is a theory within the branch of space science called cosmology that attempts to explain the physical origins of the Universe and everything within it - including us.

Below are links to articles that can help you gain insight into the details of cosmology and the Big Bang Theory.

My interest here is helping you grasp the metaphysical aspects of this theory, and how you might use it in your everyday life.

As physical science continues to explore the nature of the universe at both the largest and smallest scales, the evidence continues to grow that what we perceive to be a physical universe is in fact not physical.

On the quantum level (the smallest level of particles and waves) scientists have found, through observation, hypothesis, and math, that what we perceive as "particles" may in fact be made up of something "less than nothing". In cosmology (the largest level of stars, galaxies, and the universe) the same quality of physical matter seems to be true. If the Big Bang Theory is correct, the Universe emerged from something that also must be less than nothing, and is the manifestation of what appears to be all of the time, space, energy and matter that appears to exist.

How might this apply to your everyday physical life experience?

For some, this information is enough to justify belief in God, creationism, or a supernatural source that caused the beginning of the Universe and life within it. It can and has been used to justify religious belief. (For more about the nature of knowledge and belief, check out "Epistemology" by clicking the navigation button on your left.)

On another level, understanding that mind and consciousness are not physical matter, and may exist outside of time and space, could give us some understanding into the true nature of our physical life experience, and who we really are within it.

Quantum physics has shown that what we perceive as physical matter exists as waves of infinite possibilities or probabilities, collapsing into one single option when the mind observes it. Quantum science has also shown that one thing (in this case the Mind) can exist simultaneously in any number of positions. This backs up the spiritual and philosophical claims that every human being is in fact One Mind appearing in many (in fact billions) of places at once.

How can such esoteric knowledge possibly be applied to real life? In fact, it already is being applied in forms such as meditation, remote viewing and influencing, "spiritual" healing, quantum jumping, visualization, and much more.

Scientific theories and the evidence that supports them helps us grasp the true nature of our reality, and gives us some kind of justification for pursuing the study of metaphysics and its practical applications.

There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe.

Wikipedia: About the cosmological model of the Universe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. According to the Big Bang model, the universe expanded from an extremely dense and hot state and continues to expand today. A common analogy explains that space itself is expanding, carrying galaxies with it, like raisins in a rising loaf of bread. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field showcases galaxies from an ancient era when the universe was younger, denser, and warmer according to the Big Bang theory.

The Mayan civilization had a gift for perceiving cycles of time. These cycles were associated with the movements of Earth, Sun, and Moon through space and time. On December 21, 2012 the Sun will eclipse the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is also the winter Solstice, which places the Earth between the Moon and the Sun. This alignment only happens once every 26 thousand years or so...

Both science and spiritualism have come to the realization that what we perceive as physical matter arises from, and is in fact, non-physical. Therefore, to seek a TOE in terms of three dimensional matter and energy is not only frustrating, but impossible. Modern scientists who are willing and able to integrate both physical and non-physical aspects of reality into their theories are beginning to meet with some success




Speaking to a sold out crowd at the Berkeley Physics Oppenheimer Lecture on March 13 2007, Hawking said that he now believes the universe spontaneously popped into existence from "nothing" without violating the laws of physics (no god(s) required). He said more work is needed to prove this but we have time because 'Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.'
