The Magellanic Stream and Biblical Cosmic History

The Magellanic Stream is a river of gas, mostly hydrogen, that connects our Milky Way galaxy to the Magellanic Clouds. The Clouds are satellite galaxies of the Milky way that are visible in the southern hemisphere with bare eyeballs. David Nidever from the University of Virginia used the Green Bank Radio Telescope for more than a hundred hours to observe the stream. He combined his observations with those from other telescopes to show that the stream is continuous. It is also 40% longer than previously thought. Here is the image courtesy of the National Radio Telescope and David Nidever.

The picture is a 360-degree flat map of the Milky Way. The Magellanic Stream and other blobs of neutral hydrogen are colored pink. Notice that the stream, like a boat's wake, is wider near the clouds and narrows close to the Milky Way. We also see globs of hydrogen ahead of the Magellanic clouds. Why does the Milky Way connect to a stream of gas that is connects to two galaxies that are in series with the stream? Astronomers hypothesize that billions of years ago the Magellanic galaxies passed close to the MW. Gravity triggered star bursts and then drew the gas from the clouds into the gas river.

The wonderful thing about the history of the universe is that we do not have to conjecture about how galaxies formed. We can see the past at many ranges in all directions back to the creation era. I recommend that you spend a few hours looking at ultra deep telescopic vistas. The earliest galaxies were naked and often linked in equally spaced chains. The center galaxy in the chain often shines at lower frequencies than the outboard galaxies. This is a minor effect, however, since all ancient galaxies shone at tiny fractions of the light frequencies of local atoms. Serial strings of galaxies show ejections, not accretion. Evidently small galaxies were ejected from larger ones. In the early universe, primordial galaxies sometimes look like tadpoles, the tails made up of discrete chains of star globs. At closer ranges we follow how the star globs accelerated outward as countless galaxies grew into huge growth spirals. Both large galaxies and small ones continue to grow as the stars spread out.

What could cause galaxies to spread out, to move out, to grow from naked globs of primordial matter into great dusty, growth spirals? The first step in understanding the history of the universe is to consider biblical physics. The Bible states that the creation is in bondage to phthora - fundamental change. We can see the past and directly compare the nature of matter throughout cosmic history. The properties of all matter visibly change at many ranges in billions of examples. Not only do we observe that matter consistently changes its light frequencies, but we also see periodic violent events in the early universe. Some of these bursts are associated with matter-jets that blow out long streams. Perhaps these jets are associated with the strings of equally spaced star globs. Certainly the Magellanic Clouds were ejected and left a wake, a great river of gas.

What could cause galaxies to grow? Perhaps it is the same thing that causes the earth to continually grow! A great volcanic expansion seam circles our planet in the oceans. Subduction is denied by the soft layered sediment in the ocean trenches. Evidently atomic properties, such as the space matter takes up and the atomic quantum frequencies keep on changing relationally. Relational changes are parallel changes, where the properties of atoms all change concurrently. Scientists cannot measure relational changes with their operationally defined units because even the units and the instruments will change. They cannot model it with mathematics, because their formulas assume that independent variables exist.

Scientists are trained to think with a mind set, that the properties of matter are fixed, not changing relationally. It is because of this scientific mind set that they have incredible myths about an invisible universe. The scientific universe allegedly has more invisible matter than the visible kind. Vacuum forces are reputedly at work everywhere, stretching light, accelerating galaxies, spreading out the vacuum of space and even self-replenishing energy from the vacuum. Indeed, according to most scientists, the beginning of the universe was when a tiny bit of vacuum exploded and created everything out of nothing. Why do they twist visible reality with such absurd theories? Their definitions, measuring units and mathematics are based on the assumption, invented by Aristotle, that matter does not change as it ages. It is impossible for galaxies to continually grow unless the properties of matter are always emerging relationally.

What we see in the universe with sight is exactly what the Hebrew text of the Bible describes. We see biblical cosmic history - the one place that God promises that knowledge is available to all. Think about it.
