Could "omega point" theory be right?

Spinning these thoughts to a spiritual reflection....

In his book "The Phenomenon of Man" Pere Theillard de Chardin ( a devout yet defrocked jesuit priest who studied paleo-anthropology ) assert that man's accumulated knowledge could be considered in the same fashion as the bio-sphere coining the term No-osphere and that this plane of thought was progressing ever forward towards an "Omega-point" of pure thought (God).

I read the book three times and still never quite got it, but the term here made me think of it.

Omega Point Theory

No, it can't be.

We already know the universe is continuing to expand... even more-so, we know that that rate of expansion is once again accelerating, and if red shift measurements are correct, the outer radius of the universe is already accelerating faster than light speed, and the radius of superluminal expansion will slowly decrease. As such, there will not be a big crunch.

"There are two theories for the end of the universe:"

No, there are two hypotheses.

One has already been shown to be highly unlikely, even impossible based on available observations.

Since gravity promulgates at the speed of light, if there are areas of the universe already receeding at superluminal speed, then the gravitational effect of those areas of the universe can never reach the rest of the universe -- as such, they've been removed from the gravitational well.

This means the average gravitational density of the universe is decreasing significantly with each passing moment as the lightcone of any given point contains less and less mass. The average density of the universe is measured as being extremely close to one, if the gravitational density of the universe significantly decreases, then the universe is open and there cannot be a big crunch scenario.

As to that issues substitute: so what! communicate a pair of lot of socalled scietific hand waving to over categorize (an errors in severe thinking of hasty overgeneralization; there is such as a results of fact the set of info all actual yet seem to be contradictory) a phenomenon that should no longer save the 2nd of theromdynamics of physics nor the mathematics of probability. with out protecting different variables consistent, the technological know-how ought to no longer isolate a learn on very lots. And yet, on an identical time, the interrelationship of those remoted variables must be studied at the same time to type a greater holistic suggestions-set to the socalled technological know-how. Newton mentioned 'regulation' interior the 1800's or so. We see that there may well be greater effective pick for learn into why and hows of the easily mechanics of the gravity. So then, isn't 'regulation' a misnomer with understand to the relativity of the situations and reactivities in contact interior the viscosity of area and darkish count. by using the way, Babylon had a narrative of a undeniable planet that was once seen interior the sky which expoded sometime; i think of. The gravitation of our image voltaic equipment is declared, to on the instant, to have a 'placeholder' with understand to the gravitational forces speaking to the existence of yet another planet 'previous' pluto which has no longer been found.

The evidence gathered over the past 10-15 years shows that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, not slowing down. Which makes a "big crunch" end to the universe extremely unlikely. And his idea about baryon annihilation requiring the (as-yet unconfirmed) Higgs Boson to its absolute vacuum state negating expansion is unfounded speculation.

From Tipler's writings, it appears he went from doing speculative but reasonable mathematical physics to being a bit nutty about promoting his theological ideas...that's what religious delusion can do to even the best minds, unfortunately.

Peace.

Sounds like he's following in the footsteps of Timothy Leary to me.

All this talk about the Universe falling back in upon itself doesn't make sense. If the universe is expanding, even if there is "dark matter" then what is going to suddenly stop it and cause it to come back together since the further objects get away from each other the less their gravitational forces attract one another.

All you have to do is consider a spaceship that leaves the earth. Once it gets a certain distance away it is free from the earth's gravitational field and it will continue on it's course.

Then consider that the nearest star to our sun is 4 light years away. If their gravity fields were impacting one another then both stars would be accelerating towards one another as the gravitational force kept increasing.

Sounds like a bunch of wish-thinking gobbledygook.

Besides which, the evidence is not pointing toward a Big Crunch in the foreseeable future...

No. Don't use Wikipedia as a source of information please. But that doesn't meant the singularity won't "bang" again. There are thoughts written about a multiple bang universe.

Didn't Asimov write a book about something like this?

Sounds like Dr.Who stuff to me.Don't think it is near right.
