"The universe is not only queerer than we suppose.It is queerer than we can suppose."
This is actually a continuation of the previous blog.As i have mentioned in the previous blog,a star has been found 13.7 billion light years away.Consider the galaxy that this star belongs to.This galaxy too will be approximately 13 billion light years away.This means that light which was emitted from this galaxy around 13 billion light years back is now finally reaching our planet earth in the milky way.
Here's a weird thought.What if all the galaxies we see today,are actually light emitted from our own galaxy,billions of years back.I might sound inane,but consider this-maybe the galaxy which is 2 billion light years away from the milky way is actually how our milky way looked 2 billion light years back and that its light is reaching our eyes AGAIN today after taking a turn around the universe.Maybe that's what makes it seem like another galaxy.I know light travels in a straight line(as has been rightly demonstrated and proved by Mr.Young).But the turn could be because of the various gravitational pulls existing in our universe.
However what i am trying to say is not that only one galaxy exists.NO!!what I'm trying to say,is that maybe there are lesser number of galaxies that what we might believe exist out there.
Remember,our universe is darker and more mysterious than we can ever suppose.

well, this one's a great thought, but why don't you try and support it mathematically? it's possibe...
intreesting blog post. well, i must say that since no one really know what universe is or contains, we cannot say that its darker. may be we reside on darker side :) who knows.. anyways.. thats a nice thaught.
