Is the Cosmological Principle giving way to Hunab-Ku? Carl Johan Calleman
cjcalleman@swipnet.se For decades the ruling paradigm in cosmology has been the so called "Cosmological Principle", which has been an assumption, or dogma depending on your perspective, saying that the large-scale structure of the universe is essentially the same in all directions. This has been an assumption that has been made partly to facilitate the calculations of physicists studying the physics of the universe, but was also seemingly supported by early observation within the visible universe, the so called Hubble volume with a radius of about 15 billion light-years. In contrast to the predominating view of cosmologists I have however in my books maintained that the Hunab-Ku, a cosmic World Tree or universal creation principle at the center of the universe, does exist. The Mayan view that the universe has a center called Hunab-Ku, the heart of the heavens or the universal World Tree (that is far larger than our local Galactic World Tree with its radius of a mere 50,000 light years) has however not been consistent with this Cosmological Principle. The Hunab-Ku has sometimes been described as the One Giver of Boundaries and Energy, and as a Yin/Yang symbol. Established cosmology has instead favored a world view where the universe ultimately lacks an orderly fractal structure such as we may observe at the lower Galactic, Planetary, Human and Cellular World Tree levels. Before 2003 no scientist would have subscribed to the idea that the universe has a center. The view that the large scale structure of the universe ultimately lacks order has now however started to be questioned based on the data provided by the WMAP satellite. which has made more exact measurements from the microwave radiation emitted at the Big Bang than previously. Thus, two researchers at MIT, Tegmark and de Oliviera-Costa, in 2004 identified harmonics and polarity in this data set leading them to identify what they (as a joke, but still in my view inappropriately) called the Axis of Evil, an axis around, which the universe seems to be revolving like a meat ball on a toothpick. The existence of such an axis (which probably was called evil because it has disturbed the ruling paradigm), would be consistent with the well-know Mayan World Tree symbol that is also called the Galactic Butterfly. As described in an article in a recent number of Science (317, 28 September 2007, page 1848 A singular conundrum: How odd is our universe?), some scientists are hence now starting to consider whether it is time to throw the Cosmological Principle out the window. It may be too early to identify the location of the center of the universe from which all the day energies of the Mayan calendar would be emanating (One ancient Mayan myth talks about the Heart of the cosmos being located in the midst of the Three Hearth Stones, in the direction of the sword in the constellation of Orion). Yet, the interesting observation has been made that the mentioned central axis seems to run parallel to our local ecliptic, and hence not with the galactic equator. A very technical paper about this is available at http://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0605135.pdf. Needless to say, a revolution of such immense scoop as to indicate that there is a center in the universe will not come without much resistance from established cosmologists, but it seems that the crack in the edifice has already been made. http://www.calleman.com |
