The Map To Heaven

For a long time, we have had visions of escaping our beautiful blue star ship and getting out of our luxurious fish tank in the sky to the unimaginable limits beyond. This passion for such a journey led me to research our galaxy, its place in all of creation and go even further into the depths of darkness. The goal was to determine if indeed there was a Heaven and if so, where is it? Well after exhaustive study and countless hours of going backward, second guessing myself to assure some shred of accuracy, I finally found it!  While I was not able to determine what is beyond the passages of the many galaxies that surrounds Heaven, I was at least able to create a map of how to get there. Here is a rendition (obviously not to scale) with a brief description of where Heaven is and how to get there from Earth.

The Map To Heaven

Now folks, if you're anything like me, when I found out just how "fa-ha-ha-ar" this was, I was a little disgusted, because I'm thinking to myself, hey look! We can just hop in the old USS Star Ship Enterprise ('mind you secret projects all over the world are working to build one in real life-don't think they're not and with your tax dollars by the way) and just hop on over to Heaven just in time for dinner! Um, no. After putting this entire scope of everything into perspective, I was brought back to reality and quickly reminded, I'm good with the way things are. I can always just say a prayer, wish upon a star or just stare off in the sky at night and say...yep; nice. Good enough. Let's go. And leave it that. Because let me tell you this! Not only is the Celestial Gathering of Universal Galaxies, called the "T.I.A.M.A.I.T." (I'll explain more about that later in the site, don't worry), so unbelievably freakishly far away, but it's so indescribably BIG that you can't tell where Heaven begins or ends! But I'm going to do the best I can to describe it to you.

Imagine for a moment that you are standing in the center of your room where you are now and there is a blue golf-ball equally positioned on the other side of the planet from exactly where you're standing. Well that's about how far away Earth is from Heaven. And then remember, you're a full sized human being comparing your size to that of a golf-ball, well that's about how big Heaven is to us. Let's turn to the M2H Map below for a clear explanation.

Star Point 1. You recognize that right? That's right. It's the Milky Way, home of our Solar System, home of Planet Earth. So get in the Star Ship and let's go for a ride. Now this is the easy part. We are going to exit the Milky Way heading North by Northwest, keep straight until you're just outside The Spirals and make a left. Then keep going straight for about...get ready for this...22 billion light years. That's right. I said it. 22! Hope you packed extra undies, because there's no way in hell I'm turning back. 
 

Star Point 2. Coming up, you will see a Super Nebula, you will want to make a right just past the Super Nebula and keep straight for another 22 billion light years. I know, ridiculous right?

Well, I warned you it was far. 


(are we there yet? not even close...)




 Star Point 3. Hey the scenery at least changed a bit. This time, we're
looking for the Cat's Eye Nebula, just off to the left of the Star Ship.
Pretty eerie to look at it just staring back at you all cold and dark and
spooky. So let's just keep going. This time, we only have to make a
slight left and keep going for about 19 billion light years and we're in the

home stretch! Ah, you can do it. We've come this far right! Let's go.    





(are we there yet? almost...)




Star Point 4. Now things are starting to look brighter. We are
almost there. Take a look out of the right of the Star Ship and you
will see-you guessed it-a very unnecessarily large, bright
Cat's Eye Nebula, that looks right at you and says in a warm
pleasant voice, "welcome to the outer rim of the universe."
I'm feeling better about this trip already. And to think you wanted to
turn around and go home. No way! It's only 3.5 billion light years 

due North to get to the Gate and we're Heaven bound!




(are we....No! good grief...)





Star Point 5. (ding-ding)  Ladies and gentlemen from the
flight deck, this is your Captain speaking.
We have just entered into the outer rim entrance to the Celestial
Gathering of Universal Galaxies, known as T.I.A.M.A.I.T.
to the locals. In the center is a galaxy approximately 10,000 times
the size of the Milky Way, with 7 suns surrounding a teal blue-green
planet about 10,000 times the size of Earth. Outward from there are
12 perfectly placed galaxies, each specific to their own. This is the
home of all Creation known and unknown; seen and unseen; only a short
122 billion light years from Earth. Enjoy your stay here in eternal

paradise or wherever your final destination may be.



(are we...Oh yeah, we're here :)




And for the first time, in a long time, we will have time--on our side. We will be one with ''all that is'' and ''all that is'' will be one with us

So what's really out there?

Our observable universe is not 30 to 38 billion light years in distance.

While perusing the August 2009 issue of Astronomy magazine, I came across a one page article who’s topic was on the edges of our universe. In it, was the idea that the limit of our observable universe is roughly to about 38 billion light years in radius from us. This is wrong. In the article the author mentions a galaxy named A1689-zD1, who’s light took 13 billion years to reach us. In other words, we can glimpse a galaxy as it was 13 billion years ago. Now, 13 billion years ago A1689... was only 3.35 billion light years away from us, however because of the expansion of the universe it now lies about 30 billion light years away. This is true.

If it took 13 billion years for the light to now reach us, from a galaxy that was only 3.35 billion light years away from us in distance, that would mean that that light is extremely stretched. (red-shifted)
If the universe is 13.7 billion years old, and now A1689... Is 30 billion light years away from us, if we subtract 3.35 billion light years from that distance and average out that galaxies speed of recession from us, how fast is that galaxy’s average speed of recession from us? The answer is almost twice the speed of light. 30 - 3.35 = 26.65
26.65/13.7 = 1.945

How can we observe something that’s average speed is almost twice the speed of light? And as an object gets farther and farther away from us their speed of recession increases due to the expansion of the universe. In other words A1689... Is really traveling at more than twice the speed of light from us, now. How can they say then, that our observable universe is roughly 30 to 38 billion light years in distance? It’s not. Looking out in distance is also looking back in time, and we can only see so far back into time. About 13 billion years or so.

It’s like taking a photo of a bird in flight. And then six months from that time, you pull out the photo show it to a friend, and say. “That bird is now thousands of mile away, and so because of this photo, I can now see over a thousand miles in the direction that that bird flew in.” The Hubble Ultra Deep Field shows lots of little baby galaxies. These galaxies are now well over 20 billion light years away. Do you think they stayed little baby galaxies? They never merged, or collided, shrank in numbers, and grew in size? Is the photo of A1689... From 13 billion years ago still a current photo? Because that galaxy (which has certainly changed in over 13 billion years time) is now 30 billion light years away, is it justifiable to say that we can now observe things 30 billion light years away? Can we see objects that are receding from us at twice the speed of light or greater? The answer is no.

While distances can be confusing, we can only see as far back in time as about 13 billion years ago. That severely limits our observational horizons. We cannot see those ancient distant objects where they reside today, and their light will now never reach us. Our observable universe is limited by time, and speed of recession, and nothing is going to change that.

The author then said something about the “great attractor” being beyond our visible universe. He says “many astronomers think this…” As far as the “great attractor” is concerned, it is not located outside of our observable universe, especially if you are saying that the horizon to our observable universe is at least 30 billion light years away. In fact it lies much closer than even 13 billion light years away. It is thought to be in the region of the Shapely Supercluster. All less than even a billion light years away. I can’t help but wonder, just how “many astronomers” think it’s beyond our visible universe?
I am also beginning to wonder if the writer of these articles is really doing his own writing.
