GRB-090423

SWIFT detected GRB-090423 on April 23, 2009. SWIFT has three detector instruments: a Burst Alert GRB 090423Telescope (BAT); an x-ray and a Visible / UV telescope. When the BAT detects a burst of gamma rays, the spaceship rapidly slews to observe the event with the imaging telescopes. Gamma rays have the shortest light wavelengths , which mean they are the most energetic. They are so energetic they they would pass right through a mirror, so are not directly imaged with a telescope. The spaceship also transmits the coordinates of the GRB for large terrestrial telescopes for imaging the fading light. This picture is 6.3 arc seconds across - credit NASA / Swift / Stephan Immler. The orange and red object is the X-ray emissions from the GRB. Scientist claim that this gamma ray burst is the most distant object ever detected. They believe that that the light from this burst was in transit for 13 billions years.

Scientists theorize that distant light is red shifted by a property of the vacuum they call space-time. Allegedly space-time is adjusting the frequencies of all light as it passes through the void. GRB-090423's afterglow clocked 0.1 times the frequencies of local atoms. Scientist have faith that the vacuum is spreading out the light because they have an inflexible rule of law that controls their every thought. This idea came from Aristotle, a pagan Greek philosopher, and over the centuries became the historical basis of scientific methods, measuring, and mathematicating. Aristotle taught that we must assume that the properties of matter are fixed, not emerging. A Catholic monk, Aquinas, convinced Westerners to build their system of reasoning on Aristotle's system. Over the centuries many scientists defined measuring units (seconds, meters, velocities, gravity, energy, mass) and mathematics that were constructed with the idea that the properties of matter are fixed.

Biblical physics is based on the Word of God, not the idea of a pagan. The Bible clearly states that the creation is in bondage to phthora, fundamental change. We confirm biblical physics with sight. Matter is observed to always change relationally (blue shift its light) the closer it is to us. In the case of GRB 090423, modern atoms clock ten times the frequencies emitted by this ancient object. Ancient atoms must have been tiny scale models of modern ones since they shone at minuscule ratios of the frequencies of local atoms. We confirm that ancient atoms were minuscule because on Earth a global expansion seam continually spews out fresh new sea floor. The continents only fit together on a globe about two thirds Earth's present size. Subduction is contraindicated by the undisturbed, soft, layered sediments in the "subduction trenches." Apparently as matter changes relationally, atoms take up more space.

Biblical physics is verified with sight, not symbolical ways of measuring. (Relational change in matter would affect all instruments, most measuring units and even scientific mathematics so it cannot be measured.) Yet we see that all matter always changes its properties. We see a biblical cosmic history unfold in the visible history of the universe. We observe how the galaxies grew, often with spectacular jet-like ejections. We observe that p
rimordial galaxies are arranged in equally spaced chains, like beads on a necklace.We also observe that ancient galaxies were naked, packed with close together stars.  At many ranges and in all directions we observe how the properties of matter always change relationally as the stars came out, as billions of galaxies grew into huge growth spirals. This could only happen if the properties of all matter are always changing relationally. The Bible states that God continually spreads out the heavens, calling the starts to continually come out. Indeed the biblical name for the primordial heavens is: raqiya, the pounded out, spreading out place.

What are GRBs? They seem to be associated with jets, ejections, the pounding out of galaxies and GRB-050709stars. Hubble
took this image of GRB-050709.  Notice that the GRB (circled) seems to lie at the end of an equally spaced globular arm of the host galaxy. On Dec 27, 2004 a gamma ray flash from the other side of our own galaxy was the most intensive event ever seen in modern history. It ionized earth's atmosphere and swamped the electronics on numerous satellites. Fortunately it only lasted 2/10th of a second. Radio frequency observations of the source, SGR 1806-20, showed an expanding object. Two days later it showed up as two objects. Apparently the event was the emission of a pulsed jet. We can see many pulsed jets, especially in the early universe where galaxies and the early stages of galaxy arms line up in equally spaced chains.

GRBs seem to be associated with sudden changes in the properties  of matter as galaxies spread out and grow. Galaxies cannot continually grow into huge growth spirals unless the properties of matter are always changing. Although we can see that the properties of all matter change relationally, sometimes the changes are rapid and catastrophic. On May 14th, 2009, the Europeans will attempt to launch the Herschel Space Telescope. If it works, it should be able to see farther into the past than any other telescope. Perhaps it will image a GRB event and its afterglow so we can see what is actually going on, not with mathematical theories, but with light.
