A COSMOLOGICAL JOURNEY OF GALACTIC PROPORTIONS COSMOLOGICAL JOURNEY GALACTIC PROPORTIONS This new model of the universe posits that consciousness generates life, that black holes exist at the subatomic level as well as in deep space, and that light is infinite but curled up in higher dimensions. It blows away the Big Bang theory. How Modern Science is Taking Us Back to Ancient Wisdom t was early 2004 and I looked up from the report in New Scientist magazine. Antimatter had been found pouring from the heart of our very own Milky Way galaxy, and astrophysicists did not know why.' But strange though this was, it was totally predictable from the theories I had published in a paper he previous year. How was it that I knew something that the astrophysicists hemselves did not? And why me? Why was a female, British Asian, medical GP without even an A-level in physics and barely out of her twenties coming up with all these ideas about the cosmos? It was that moment that prompted me to overcome my reservations about writing the book that eventually became Punk Science.* Believe me, this is not where I thought I would end up: putting forward a new theory in physics. | am from a medical family and trained as a GP, like my parents. But after a spontaneous spiritual awakening, which happened in my irst few weeks of medical school, | added a burgeoning mystical life to my medical studies. Pretty soon, I realised that the principles of the universe that was experiencing mystically must have their correlation within the scientific realms. To start with, I simply wanted to explain these esoteric principles in terms of modern physics. Like authors who had published before me, I could see the links between esoteric principles such as distant healing and non-locality in quantum theory. So I started learning about ideas in cutting-edge physics and comparing these with traditional esoteric principles. My aim in the beginning was to provide better care for my patients. I had a (perhaps naive) belief that if doctors simply understood the physics behind energy healing modalities, then maybe they would lose their fear of including them in medical practice and consequently patients would benefit from these powerful, non-toxic treatments. But this journey took me somewhere quite different. At the Heart of Every Galaxy It was the autumn of 2003 and | had become captivated by the field of cosmology which had been in turmoil since around the turn of the century, with many long-held beliefs becoming obsolete as data came pouring in from telescopes. Cosmologists had just faced one of their biggest challenges for years: the unwelcome arrival of dark energy, a mysterious force that seemed to be blowing the universe apart and accelerating its expansion. Images from Hubble and other telescopes were throwing open some of our long-cherished beliefs and making us question our theories and expectations about the universe. | became particularly fascinated by black holes. The concept started life as a conclusion of Einstein's theory of relativity: that if space and time curved beyond a certain point, they would create a point of infinite gravity. Initially it was thought that certain stars collapse at the end of their lives and produce these points of infinite density and gravity, with a pull by Manjir Samanta- Laughton, MBBS © 20II Paradigm Revolution Publishing Post Office Box 113 Buxton, SKI7 9WP United Kingdom Website: www.paradigmrevolution.com Paradigm Revolution Publishing Post Office Box 113 Buxton, SKI7 9WP United Kingdom Website: NEXUS ¢ 33 OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 2011 www.nexusmagazine.com
