Static Universe J.R. Silva Bittencourt

When we look at the sky on a dark cloudless night, preferably in a region far from urban centers, countless stars enchant us with their brightness. At this point we are thinking of the numerous galaxies that lurk in deep space.

If one in ten of the stars, that make up these galaxies, had a planet spinning around it, it would be hard not to think about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or not. It’s a matter of statistics. However, the earth is the only place in the universe where this is confirmed, at least so far.

At some inaccurate moment in history our eyes snapped open and, in the wake of our awareness, we realized that there was an entire universe pulsing around us. In order to survive in an environment that is both beautiful and hostile, we had to educate our senses. For example, to prevent us from being burned again by fire, we had to burn ourselves first. Winter must have taught us to cover our bodies,

pushing us far more than the shame of nakedness. What I mean, finally, is that we have been developing certain behavioral patterns that, over time, have structured our memory. In order for things outside to become real or known, they had to be sifted through our senses and, subsequently, coincide with the patterns and stereotypes stored in our brains.

Since each query to these files takes time, however minimal, it takes us away from the present. That is, the concepts of the future and the present are confused, because the future, in this case, would result from only being able to look at the present of the universe with delay.

This is evident in the finding that in order to be seen, objects need to be illuminated. Our memory would have forced us to interact with reality always in a lagged way, or in response to the good or bad stimulus it sent us.

Time has also brought us many interpretative problems, as our intelligence has evolved. The first of these was our conclusion that all that exists is what would already be in

our past. The future does not exist for us because it cannot be remembered. In this form of approach I noticed that it would be possible to think of the existence of a static universe, even if it were outside the direct range of our brain. At the same time it would be within reach of our physical body, just by stretching our arm. It would look something like this: -In a static universe, time would not exist.

The present would be an eternal moment. If we said that this universe would be similar to the surface of a lake of calm waters, having only two dimensions (width and length), everything in this universe model would have to be at the center. Of course, our kind of conscious life, even taking up space in this utopian place, could not have known it. The observer would have to be banished from there to a place with at least three dimensions, called spacetime.

Once he had developed consciousness in this new place, he could not remember the previous one. Even so, he would carry with him the condition that still remain always on the center,

without depending on the position he occupied in space. The center which was once everywhere, would now be just where an isolated observer with a memory stood, and who cast a curious look around him.

Another detail, related to the existence of a hypothetical two-dimensional and timeless universe, is that it would have no sides, either outside or inside, above or below. Do you find this strange? For know that these observations are in accordance with the expansionary universe model defended by physicists. The model assumes that galaxies would not abandon their positions in the space that shelters them, as they move away from each other with ever increasing speed. For physicists, it is the space around the galaxies that would be stretching.

Think of the model of a birthday balloon, where you would paint on the rubber and with the aid of a pen, several small dots. If the balloon blew and its two-dimensional surface were inflated, the painted dots would not move out of their place or center, but would gradually move away

from each other. This image would be the same as the two-dimensional surface of a lake, if it could be stretched.

As for the question of laterality, astronomers tell us that the universe could only have one side. It is that we would be an integral part of the inner expansionary movement, which would have been established after the big bang. There would be no way out of spacetime, and thus to know if there was anything outside of it. This question can be solved simply. Let's say that you’ll send to your friend, who lives in a distant city, a crate containing a gift. You know that if the crate has an inside, where is the object to be sent, it will necessarily have an outside, on which you will put the postal address. The same would be expected for spacetime, if it had an inside. This leads us to the conclusion that the universe would indeed have no sides.

When we think of the space that houses distant galaxies, it becomes a little tricky to think of the existence of an universe that had

only two dimensions. In his book "The Universe in a Nutshell" Stephen Hawking recalls that "a two-dimensional animal would have difficulty digesting food." But everything becomes possible if we take into account that space, without depending on how many dimensions it may have, needs a messenger who can open our head and hurt our ears by saying: “-Two-dimensional space exists, even if you can't see it directly! �

Space, it seems, does not have the power to communicate us directly any events it engages in, at least when it comes to our point of view.

This is implicit in the uncertainty of the position of distant light sources. For example, you need the light of a star to have reached your position. Only then can you know that it shines in the distance, in an uncertain place of space.

This would exclude the previous travel time of the light of the star, if that time existed, because you see the star instantly and at a distance, which happens seemingly continuously. If it were not for the presence of light, the star

would not exist, even if it still were there. It can be seen that the time the light has shifted from this star has been banished from our sensory reality, because, regardless of the distance between us, the star can be spotted instantly.

All that is needed is to lift our heads to the night sky.

When you replace space with light, acting as a messenger, the possibility of a static and timeless universe becomes acceptable, even if that universe could not be grasped by our senses. The problem can be divided into two parts. First, to be recorded on Earth by our limited senses, light from a distant star would initially need to be packaged or quantized. This should cause the separation between light and space. This is the case, for example, with eight minutes of sunlight retention, within the future cone of light of the Sun. Second, one can imagine that in the cone forming process the space would bend, resulting in delayed delivery of the message to the addressee. However, to this moment no time interval, that could be

allocated to the light quantization phase, has been measured. Without time there would be no real separation between light and space. That is, even in bending, space would remain virtually two-dimensional. Thus, light and space would form, for all intents and purposes, a continuous whole or just one thing. The main consequence of this would be the virtual leveling between the maximum and minimum energy extremes of light. Due to the virtual polarization resulting from the packaging of light there would be, for example, no separation between ultraviolet and infrared. After the light of the star scattered on Earth, Doppler shows us the space as continuously curved. The polarization of light becomes perfectly recordable, with the sharp separation between the energetic extremes of cosmic background radiation supporting Doppler. There seems to be no more uncertainty in the position of the source, simply tracking its light in the past's direction to reach the point occupied by the star in space. If this were real, Doppler would stand and the universe would become hostage to circular and uniform motion.

Planets would always rotate at the same distance from their suns, and the stars would move in a block across the celestial vault from east to west, obeying the same kind of circular motion. Earth would occupy the center of the universe. We know, however, that it is not so.

This problem resulting from the hypothetical fusion of light and space, once resolved, could root out some incongruities. For example, it could not be accepted without question that the same mass and solar volume, conserved over time, could simultaneously manage the orbits of all its eight planets, from the same curvature in space.

To be aware of the existence of the universe, we would have been held hostage to time in the past. In this case, we would have been virtually banished from that place. That is, light (and cosmic radiation as a whole) would be holding our consciousness in the past, in a curious form of temporal exile. How to justify this crazy thinking? This would be possible if light and space had become one thing, merging

into one whole. This already happens in practice. If space bends, so does light, and vice versa. In the birthday balloon model, light from a distant star would shift on its two-dimensional surface as concentric circular waves, following the curvature of the balloon (space). In the 1919 eclipse, which made Einstein an even bigger celebrity, it cannot be said that space would have communicated directly its curvature around the sun, for the eclipse observers were dependent on the deviation suffered by the light, emitted by the distant stars. The curvature event was spotted by comparing the photos, which revealed the positions of the stars in the background, before and after the eclipse. A photo is nothing more than a snapshot of our past, which depends on the light to be obtained.

Outside of our photo and in order to make this communication, space would be dependent on gravity waves, which would travel at the limited speed of light. Unlike space, light needs to be condensed or packaged, to have its existence revealed to the observer. The evidence of the virtual fusion between space

and light is given to us by the scientific community itself, when tells us that space would behave like a rubber band. Who would behave like an elastic band would be light when performing its harmonic movement, not space itself.

To merge space and light into one thing, this process of energy quantization would have to have been able to retain any length of time, needed to complete the packaging process, until light was scattered through the subatomic particles. This really happens in practice, because quantization is delivered ready to us by nature. That is, there is no amount of time that could be spent in the process of quantization.

By holding time (or subtracting it from our physical reality) quantization could polarize light and level the maximum and minimum energy extremes of the Maxwell spectrum, even virtually or just from our point of view. This would result in the virtual fusion between space and light, leading us to model of the twodimensional surface of our birthday balloon.

The stationary phase of light quantization would occur before the scattering of photons, but the resulting polarization would appear projected in the past of the celestial vault, or after the addition of time as an additional dimension. It would come in the form of the redshifting. Physicists tangent this energetic leveling of light to its scattering, when they tell us that a distant star would behave as if it were a point center, emitting concentric circular waves. Like the waves formed by a rock that was thrown into a lake, the waves would move on the two-dimensional surface of the water, all at the same speed. It should be noted that, due to the aforementioned leveling, this space would have merged into the light itself, losing its depth dimension. Thanks to the retention of time, still, the packaging of light could simulate a fictional curvature in space, which would become real after light scattering near the observer. In the case of the centaur's Alpha, remote tracking suggests that the light emitted by it would have been retained for 4.3 years, within its cone of light of the future.

Adding Time to Space When cosmic radiation projects itself into the celestial vault, and allows its instant tracking in the direction of our past, we see a totally different picture of what was described before it was scattered. Waves become real and virtually continuous, and their previous polarization shows us, at Doppler, a predominance of infrared light in the spectrum of most galaxies. The arrow of time is now reversed in our position, where it starts counting, no longer pointing towards the future and continually pointing to our past. Like the continuous thread of a ball of wool unwound from the big bang, light tells us that we could follow it in one direction and the other, making space homogeneous and isotropic.

The light that would have come from Alpha of the centaur at an earlier time, due to the leveling between ultraviolet and infrared (polarization) would have remained dim in space, until it reached us on Earth. It can be said, by a principle of exclusion of direct access

to our future, that the light of the aforementioned star has always been at our disposal on Earth, to be followed only in the direction of our past. Otherwise, the star could not be spotted instantly. This is in keeping with the retention of time in our future, or during the quantization and packaging phase of light.

Physicists suggest that the circular waves of light emitted by that star would overlap over time, forming a straight and three-dimensional cone of light, called “the cone of light of the future�. This results from a comparison with what is observed after light scattering, not from a direct measurement.

Indeed, the lack of real time in our future does not even predict the existence of waves, since there would be no movement in the absence of measurable time. Newton's laws are not applicable under these conditions.

Einstein tried unsuccessfully to support his thesis that the universe would be static, by proposing his cosmological constant. After Hubble's observations showing that ours is only

one of millions of other galaxies, and the definitive adoption of the redshift by the scientific community, Einstein capitulated for good. I do not see how to criticize any of the parties involved, because for us there is only what can be remembered, or what is outside our brain. As we look toward the celestial vault and gather in a totally perforated light to form a mosaic, that describes a continually expanding universe, numerous questions remain unanswered. I believe it is time for us to take seriously into account the processes that shape our points of view, making an effort to break free from the yoke of cosmic background radiation.
