The Universe is a giant parabolic mirror: stars and planets are mirages! | |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 46473730 United States09/19/2013 07:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Moon and the stars are mirages/holograms due to the fact that the universe is a a giant dome, super reflective "gas/glass" dome which represents and acts like a holographic parabolic mirror. The celestial bodies are not where we see them. They are in reality holographic projections or reflections off the parabolic "mirror". Quoting: spoton "Like a hall of mirrors, the apparently endless universe might be deluding us. The cosmos could, in fact, be finite. The illusion of infinity would come about as light wrapped all the way around space, perhaps more than once--creating multiple images of each galaxy. A mirror box evokes a finite cosmos that looks endless. The box contains only three balls, yet the mirrors that line its walls produce an infinite number of images. Of course, in the real universe there is no boundary from which light can reflect. Instead a multiplicity of images could arise as light rays wrap around the universe over and over again. From the pattern of repeated images, one could deduce the universe's true size and shape." [link to abyss.uoregon.edu] Parabolic mirror hologram projector [link to www.youtube.com] No. |

| spoton (OP) User ID: 1599009 United Kingdom09/19/2013 07:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is NOT utter bullshit. It is completely possible if you think about it with an open mind. The astronomers cannot disprove this theory either as all they do is just observing the reflections. You can observe as much as you want, you cannot prove it's not a hologram just by observing it. The dome is indeed quite big, but not infinite and not like it is believed now ~14 billion light years.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43230739 Here is where the conspiracy starts, as according to this hypothesis all the space probes to the Moon, planets etc are fake. They cannot be real as the celestial bodies are just reflections and not located where we're observing them. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 46289919 United Kingdom09/19/2013 08:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not entirely true, space time is curved. For example; when you look up at the stars, due to the time it takes for their light to reach your eyes & since they are in continuous motion, they are no longer in the position that you see them. This effect is magnified massively when it applies to very distant objects at apparent distances of millions or billions of light years. In some cases the object might no longer even exist. What's to say that the light from these objects isn't curved right back round on itself multiple times? Our perceived Universe really isn't as it appears & hall of mirrors is a very good analogy. Maybe it's toroidal & rolls/rotates kind of like a giant smoke ring?  |

However, I am inclined to believe in a more extreme scenario in which the stars are not actual physical objects but holograms precisely due to the mirror nature of the universe. All the "celestial" bodies are perhaps objects located around the periphery of the system and the light is reflected to create the illusion of them being somewhere far away hanging in nothingness. Maybe the Earth, the planets and the stars are part of the same plane of objects which are indeed physically located and existent, but the light we see in the sky is not where they are and is quite similar to a hologram image. I know there have been probes sent in deep space and so on, but I don't buy it. The ordinary people cannot be sure of any of it, so to me the universe could really be as I already described. All the satellites and ISS are just above the plane, nothing can go much further as nothing exists much further, you would just glide along the dome on the inside creating the illusion of gravitating. |

Thanks OP for posting this. Personally I instinctually understand that the universe is finite (this not a popular notion) and the article - whether perfect or not - gives rise to thought. One doesn't have to "believe in" what is said to get something out of it. You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. -Buckminster Fuller ...I adapt to the unknown, under wandering stars I've grown, by myself, but not alone...

According to the Egyptians, during the day, the heavenly bodies—such as the sun and moon—would make their way across her body. Then, at dusk, they would be swallowed, pass through her belly during the night, and be reborn at dawn. Nut is also the barrier separating the forces of chaos from the ordered cosmos in the world. She was pictured as a woman arched on her toes and fingertips over the earth; her body portrayed as a star-filled sky. Nut’s fingers and toes were believed to touch the four cardinal points or directions of north, south, east, and west. [link to en.wikipedia.org] |
