			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay kids, before we get started we need to visualize that a black hole is not a hole &#8230;  its a black sphere, and a wormhole is not a hole &#8230; its the event horizon sphere.</p>
<p>So lets start with our imaginary three universes that are nested together like nested Russian dolls. Except each of the nested Russian Dolls are just slightly smaller than the one in which they reside. In our nested universes system each universe is vastly smaller than the universe in which they reside.</p>
<p>In our imaginary cyclic system, all of the 5% matter, the 25% dark matter and the 70% dark energy of our universe that is within a black hole  is exchanged with our parent universe during one life cycle. The  life cycle of our universe is determined by the black hole&#8217;s spin rate which in turn is determined by our parent universe&#8217;s thermal dynamics.</p>
<p>Here, so to speak, is our spin on the life cycle of our universe.  As the black hole spins up to it&#8217;s maximum, &#8230; the suction increases inside the black hole reaches a maximum. This is called the &#8220;active&#8221; phase. When the black hole slows down to a more or less stable minimum, the suction decreases to a more or less stable minimum. The repulsive, antigravity dark energy force that is felt by the universe in the black hole increases &amp; decreases depending on the black hole spin rate.  </p>
<p>Only 1-2% of all the galaxy super massive black holes in our universe are in the active phase, where black hole spin rates are at a maximum. That means about  98% of the galaxy black holes are in the &#8220;dormant&#8221; phase. Therefore, one would expect that black holes are in the dormant phase 98% of the time. We imagine that during short active phase, the universe within the black hole is ejected back into the parent universe as jets of hot gas, as the parent universe&#8217;s accretion ring is immediately sucked into the black hole to begin a new universe and a new cycle.</p>
<p>When measuring spin rate versus time: Does this mean our graph of dark energy curve has a relatively long period of  decreased repulsive dark energy relative to the two active phase sharp exponential energy peaks at each end of the curve? It can&#8217;t be that simple kids.  Like I said to you kids 4 years ago, it will take at least 15 more years to experimently demonstrate where the source of dark energy is coming from.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In researching &#8220;the end&#8221; on the Internet as it relates to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, I found there seems to be  a hot debate between scientifically oriented thinking and spiritually oriented thinking.</p>
<p>Which forces me to ask myself,  how well is my 50 year prediction doing now that 10 years have passed?</p>
<p>The prediction: &#8220;By 2050 there will be a convergence of scientific thinking and spiritual thinking&#8221;. This does not mean a merger. It means the recognition by each, that there are two separate and important ways of  approaching life. Hopefully most people can acknowledge that both ideologies are separate, necessary, and important.</p>
<p>Our knowledge in cosmology has put us face to face with the physical interfaces between things that are proveable and things that are not provable. The black hole event horizon is a good example.</p>
<p>Presently there is a heightened fascination  how it all ends. The Scientific American September issue &#8220;The End&#8221; and Chris Impey&#8217;s new book &#8220;How it Ends&#8221; give the subject full coverage.</p>
<p>Astronomer Martin Rees in his book &#8220;Our Final Hour&#8221; lists the doomsday issues of the 21st century as a wake up call. It seems to me that scientific thinking &amp; spiritual thinking need to peacefully converge as separate important paths by 2050 to avoid &#8220;The End&#8221; in the 21st century.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Picking up from where we left off on our last blog , we said we would test our nested universe against The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. But 1st lets settle  on whether our system is closed, flat or open. Nikodem Powlawski says; If our universe lies within another universe &#8220;the prediction would be that our universe is closed.&#8221;  We look at our 3 universe nested system, that has a repeating life cycle, as closed.</p>
<p>We do not ask what is beyond our 3 nested universes system. That merely opens up all the philosophical questions  that we have been dealing for centuries with on our own universe. (At some point kids, with all the multi verse ideas going around these days, we are going to have to give our universe a name.)</p>
<p>Meanwhile, is the 2nd law of  thermodynamics happy with our 3 nested universes system? I think we have Roger Penrose in our corner, who has argued that a cyclic model maybe necessary to explain how the universe is compatible with the second law of thermodynamics, one of the most fundamental laws of physics. According to the second law, entropy (the amount of disorder), always increases. It is our assumption that the black hole life cycles described in our concept are always unique and random.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay kids, grandpa has been playing with my Nested Universes concept on and off for over 10 years and we have been writing blogs to you kids for 4 years about the concept off and on. So far, one of our ground rules is not to bother the experts in astronomy/cosmology with our questions. The project has been a learning process for me and hopefully for you kids that are interested in science.</p>
<p>We have had two huge hurtles; One we needed a mathematician to make the leap from a black hole that is approaching an infinite singularity to becoming a big bang and 2nd, we still need the math and model to show that our universe is jettisoned out of a black hole simultaneously with the rapid increase in the black hole spin rate, which initiates another active phase collapse &#8230; and a new universe in the black hole. </p>
<p>Right from the beginning we knew we couldn&#8217;t do the math, experimenting, or modeling &#8230; so we have to wait and see what the people who work in this field are doing.  I told you kids that we would likely hit a &#8220;show stopper&#8221; to end our little project, but the fun is always in the imaginative  trip along the way. So far nothing has shown up to stop us from going forward, so now we will be looking for what might be wrong with our concept.</p>
<p>Our 3 nested universes system package of our ideas is essentially complete. Now we have to go back and see what is wrong  with the concept. We knew early on, when we adopted a oscillating universe concept, that it has been abandoned by many scientist.</p>
<p>In the next blog we will look and see how we hold up against 2nd law of Thermodynamics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>But names and words won&#8217;t hurt me. The US has a strong security force that keeps violence in check and the two political parties from literally throwing stones at each other. However, negative names and words seem to be the most effective way to win a hard fought political campaign.</p>
<p>And as Walter Cronkite use to say: &#8220;And that&#8217;s the way it is&#8221;. Well kids, if you are a problem solver, you look at the way things are, and then see if you can turn that negative into something positive. Maybe we can kill two negatives with one stone.</p>
<p>Newspapers are having a tough time holding onto their readers these days. What if the papers could do something that digital book readers or the Internet would have trouble doing with the news? A full newspaper page with the left column for the liberals, the right column for the conservatives, and the middle colunm for the moderates. The whole complex political picture in view on one page!</p>
<p>The Democratic party selects their columnist, The Republican party theirs, and the respected research polling companies select the moderate columnist. Then let them go at it on one single newspaper page. My guess is that the columnist with the largest readership of potential voters would be selected by the left and the right. I would hope that the selection of the moderate columnist would be a round robin of the most unbiased, introspective, critical thinkers available.</p>
<p>The biggest problem. Who will print this page to be available for all the generally biased newspapers to run? Could the respected polling companies do it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well kids, Nikodem Powlawski&#8217;s Physics Letter B has created a huge interest in our little Nested Universes project we have been fooling around with for years. I told you at the beginning, that the nested universes concept would be a fun way to learn about the cosmos, fully expecting a mathematician would come up with a &#8220;show stopper&#8221; to end our project. Instead there is now more interest in our concept.</p>
<p>With a lot of astronomers involved in nested universes, new possibilities will arise. We have suggested several times in the past that there ought to be electromagnetic &amp; particle &#8220;cross talk&#8221; between our three nested universes system. Tom Muxlow, PhD from U.K. Jodrell Centre for Astrophysics asks the question whether the M82 mystery radio wave might be a black hole dragging material from one universe into yet another universe?</p>
<p>Our concept suggests there is a  complete space/time transition at the worm hole, (event horizon), which includes the electromagnetic spectrum. We suggested the shortest wavelength gamma ray of the larger universe is adjacent to the longest radio wave of the smaller universe at the event horizon. Could a violent short wave gamma burst in the larger universe somehow make an appearance as a long wavelength radio wave in the smaller universe?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back over a dozen years ago, as I neared retirement, I thought exploring the cosmos and human thought would be great hobbies. Lacking a mathematician&#8217;s credentials and armed with just curiosity &amp; imagination &#8230; my 1st concept was &#8230; &#8220;our universe could very well be in a black hole.&#8221; I thought it was an original concept. But, once I began reading about cosmology, I found that Lee Smolin had written about that possibility some 3 years early.</p>
<p>At was soon after that that I came up with the nested universes concept, with our universe being the &#8220;central observing universe&#8221; in a nest of three universes. To explain the concept to my family, friends, and you grand kids, I pointed out that  my nested universes concept was like nested Russian Dolls.</p>
<p>During the past 4 years of writing blogs to 0ur grand kids I told them that we needed a mathematician to step up &amp; make the mathematical leap from a black hole singularity to a big bang &amp; the birth of a universe in a black hole. Well, recently Nikodem Poplawski has made the leap for us. In an article by Ker Than of National Geographic News about Nikodem&#8217;s equations he wrote: <strong>&#8220;Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>For anyone out there on the Internet that wants a short outline of our nested universes concept, go to <a href="http://www.georgedugdale.com">www.georgedugdale.com</a> and read the July 2, 2010 blog in the July archives.</p>
<p>We have already thought about, and considered  that the event horizon, (wormhole) inter connection between the 3 universes opens up a great deal of new thinking about some great cosmology questions. Newton&#8217;s famous  universe in a the bucket experiment, New thoughts on the horizon/flatness problem, and of course the source of dark energy as we point out in our July 2nd blog.. There has to be all sorts of &#8220;cross talk&#8221; between the universes with each of the 3 spheres having stars generating an electromagnetic spectrum proportional to their size.</p>
<p>We think that the concept of a birth and death cycle of our universe  is a unique concept. That dust &amp; stars that reside in our parent universe are sucked into a black hole, then the debris from the universe within in the black hole returns back the smaller universe to our parent universe as dust to make new stars. </p>
<p>For those who want to see a version of this life cycle see the March 2007 Scientific article, Black Hole Blow Back.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m nearly 80. This is to our grand kids who probably get my drift. The news media has again made race great copy to put before the American public &#8230; and yes, the public eats it up.</p>
<p>Archaeologist are pretty certain our species &#8230; Homo sapiens nearly became extinct. A bay near Mosel South Africa, sheltered humans between 164,00 and 35,000 years ago at a time when Homo sapien was in danger of dying out. These people may have been the ancestors of all of us. My DNA points back to that group that moved out of Africa 50,000 years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Duh </strong>&#8230; Are ancestors had black skin. We, and the media, seem to have a problem with that. (Duh definition: Duh is an  expression of  disdain for something deemed stupid or obvious.)</p>
<p>There are no new cultures to be found today. About 1,500 cultures have evolved since the first Africans began to settle the Earth. These cultures have developed there own different ideologies and theologies regardless of their race or ethnicity.</p>
<p><strong>Hello!</strong> We are still focusing on race. (Definition: &#8220;Hello! is a quick short burst response to an  obvious and  erroneous inconsequential piece of information.&#8221;)</p>
<p>Instead of the media making copy for their advertisers and public, a public that loves social controversy, how about the media doing a good job of investigating and teaching us our  ideology &amp; theology differences? Differences that we acquired from the experiences of our ancestors?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay grand kids, here is our 4 year old Nested Universes Concept summarized in a bullet format:</p>
<ul>
<li>Time &amp; space are the only natural entities that are absolutely endless.</li>
<li>If space &amp; time are endless, it opens the door to the possibility that all things are possible &#8230; including a multitude of universes.</li>
<li>Our concept &#8230; is our universe is in a black hole.</li>
<li>We consider only 3 universes in our nested universe concept.</li>
<li>We have arbitrarily placed our universe in the middle of the three.</li>
<li>There are 22 orders of magnitude between the shortest length Gamma ray and the longest length radio wave. We suggest that the size factor between the 3 universes needs to be greater the 22 orders of magnitude.</li>
<li>Like Nested Russian Dolls, we arbitrarily say the larger universe &amp; the smaller one we investigate are essentially the same as ours.</li>
<li>We call the largest universe our &#8220;parent&#8221; universe.</li>
<li>In our universe there are billions of black holes that are assumed to be at the center of every spiral galaxy. We assume the possibility that there will be many other universes within these black holes.</li>
<li>From our universe we can observe what events are occurring in and around the super-massive black hole, that we feel contains a universe like ours. </li>
<li>Black hole event horizons are the energy interconnections between the 3 universes. (&#8220;wormholes&#8221;)</li>
<li>We can speculate that the mysterious &#8220;dark energy&#8221; is caused by the cycles in the gravitational pull, which in turn is caused by changes in the black hole spin rate.</li>
<li>We feel the gravitational force of a collapsed star does not continue forever. The collapsed star is not reduced to an infinitely dense point &#8230; called a singularity. </li>
<li>The final result of a collapsed star &amp; formation of a black hole is not a singularity &#8230; but a big bang resulting in a new universe.</li>
<li>We subscribe to the standard model as the history of our universe since the big bang. However, we do not believe that the universe will expand forever.</li>
<li>The overwhelmingly vast majority of super massive black holes, that appear at the center of spiral galaxies, are in the dormant phase. Only a few percent are in the active &#8220;eating phase&#8221;</li>
<li>The existence of our universe will come to an end during the active phase of the black hole in which we reside.</li>
<li>We speculate that a tipping point will be reached where the spin rate of the black hole increases suddenly near the speed of light, sucking the accretion ring into the &#8220;equator&#8221; of the spherical event horizon with such a crushing force that the debris from our now pencil shaped universe is shot out as jets from the &#8220;north &amp; south&#8221; poles by a magnetic field that creates an outward spinning motion &#8230;  at the same time the parent universe accretion ring material continues to get sucked into the black hole.</li>
</ul>
<p>Yeah I know, kids this last step is hard to swallow. In conclusion;</p>
<ul>
<li>We believe the super massive black holes that are at the center of galaxies were created by the collapse of the initial huge bright stars that &#8220;turned on&#8221; some 388 million years after the big bang.</li>
<li>Since then there has been a &#8220;black hole life cycle&#8221;, which consists of  an &#8220;eating &amp; expelling of dust &amp; gas phase&#8221;,  followed by a long &#8220;dormant phase&#8221;, followed by the next eating &amp; expelling phase, which is now the repeating life cycle of super massive black holes.</li>
