Why describing the expanding speed of the universe is difficult?

When Edwin Hubble described the Hubble constant in the 1930's he didn't know how difficult the metering the expanding speed of the universe is. The thing that makes it difficult is that we are on the planet, which is part of the expanding entirety. And the Earth is moving in the same direction as the other universe. Or in the same direction with the segment of the universe where the Earth is locating. 

The thing is that if we would want to meter the expanding speed of the universe we must travel outside it, or the other version is that we must find the point, what is the opposite side of the bubble or universe, and meter the escaping speed between the Earth and that point. Then we must division that speed by two, and then we can get the expanding speed of the universe. 

And what makes the expanding speed of the universe so interesting? The thing is that when the big bang happened, that thing gave the punch for the shockwave, what we are calling as the universe. The thing about the expanding speed of the universe is that it describes the end of the universe. If the expanding speed of the universe is higher than the gravity, what is pulling the universe back to the point, where the big bang happens the universe would be open. That means that the universe ends its life in the endlessly continuing radiation. 

But if the expanding speed of the universe is lower than the gravity, that means that gravity wins. If gravity wins the universe is collapsing. And there is a possibility that the new universe is forming.  This thing requires that the singularity where all material in the universe is collapsing. And that is called the parallel universe. The idea is that the universe is the continuum, where big bangs are repeating one after one in an endless continuum. But there could not be endless continuums of the cases. There must also be the first and the last event in the series. 

But is the new universe similar to our universe? There is a possibility that the large mass of radiation and material would go outside of the affected area of the gravity of the universe which means that the universe- big bangs cannot continue forever.

Sooner or later the mass of the bubble is turning too low, that the new universe cannot form, and those universes would live an extremely short time because the material would turn too low. That means the long-existence entireties cannot form anymore, because the low-mass universe cannot stay a very long time until it collapses.

And low-mass universes are losing material faster than high-mass universes. So where that continuum starts, and that means that this version of the parallel universe theory gives more questions than answers. The biggest of those questions is where and when was the first big bang in that series?

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
