From: John Galt	of 4006

>>You have said that the universe is mythical. What are all of these Hubble pictures. Explain.<< The hubble pictures look at very small points 'out there' in space. What they reveal are stars and clusters of stars and galaxies and clusters of galaxies and super galaxy clusters and super super galaxy clusters and great walls of stars and star formation and great chasms of 'apparent' empty space. There appears to be ever larger structures as we piece together these pictures and map them out. The 'universe' as yet has not been defined as a structure or as a thing (with definable boundaries and in relation to something else). John Galt recalls once was asked to define consciousness. Well, it turned out that what he defined was almost identical to how the standard cosmological model defines it's universe. This, John Galt finds, as more than just coincidence. John Galt agrees with you, Delbert, that whatever Big Bang there was is more likely confined to ones bedroom. The concept of 'universe' however, is useful in theoretical speculation just as the mythical 'Gods' were useful in the formative evolution of human language.
