Time Travel Is Possible, Says Stephen Hawking

Time travel? Maybe
As posited by Einstein, wormholes might work, though the fine print is daunting.

Don’t talk to aliens, warns Stephen Hawking
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/space/article7107207.ece
“[Stephen Hawking] has suggested that extraterrestrials are almost certain to exist — but that instead of seeking them out, humanity should be doing all it that can to avoid any contact…”
“Alien life, he will suggest, is almost certain to exist in many other parts of the universe: not just in planets, but perhaps in the centre of stars or even floating in interplanetary space.”
“Hawking’s logic on aliens is, for him, unusually simple. The universe, he points out, has 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of millions of stars. In such a big place, Earth is unlikely to be the only planet where life has evolved.”
“‘To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational,’ he said. ‘The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.’”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1267061/Clinically-dead-boy-saw-grandmother-Heaven.html
“Paul said: ‘There was a lot of light and I was floating. I came to a gate and I saw Grandma Emmi on the other side.’”
“‘She said to me, “What are you doing here Paul? You must go back to mummy and daddy. I will wait for you here.’”
“‘I knew I was in heaven. But grandma said I had to come home. She said that I should go back very quickly.’”
“‘Heaven looked nice. But I am glad I am back with mummy and daddy now.’”

Early one morning, I woke to find our cat watching the moon on the river. This picture does not do it justice because the flash shows the inside which was dark, but the outside was truly breathtaking. No wonder Pippin loved staring at it.
(I took several pics and combined two to get the best idea.)

The Known Universe by AMNH
“He stretches out the north over empty space;
He hangs the earth on nothing.”
Job 26:7“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the LORD.”
Jeremiah 31:37“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
John 1:1-5
CREATOR OF THE WORLD, TO THEE
http://nethymnal.org/htm/c/o/w/cow2thee.htmCreator of the world, to Thee
And endless rest of joy belongs;
And heavenly choirs are ever free
To sing on high their festal songs.But we are fallen creatures here,
Where pain and sorrow daily come;
And how can we in exile drear
Sing out, as they, sweet songs of Home?O Father, who dost promise still
That they who mourn shall blessèd be,
Grant us to weep for deeds of ill
That banish us so long from Thee.But weeping, grant us faith to rest
In hope upon Thy loving care;
Till Thou restore us, with the blest,
Their songs of praise in Heav’n to share.To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
The God Whom Heav’n and earth adore,
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.

“A lifelong Christian, it was not the answer he had sought for his son’s behaviour…”
“As the nightmares continued, she asked him: ‘Who is the little man?’”
“‘Me,’ he answered. His father asked: ‘What happened to your plane?’”
“James replied: ‘It crashed on fire.’”
“‘Why did your plane crash?’”
“‘It got shot,’ he said.”
“‘Who shot your plane?’”
“James made a disgusted face. ‘The Japanese!’ he said, with indignation…”
“Next, little James unnerved his father by telling him: ‘I knew you would be a good daddy, that’s why I picked you.’”
“‘Where did you find us?’ asked a shaken Bruce.”
“‘In Hawaii, at the pink hotel, on the beach,’ he replied. Eerily, he described his parents’ fifth wedding anniversary – five weeks before Andrea got pregnant – saying it was when he ‘chose’ them to bring him back into the world.”

Ghostly Companions
Survivors of extreme situations—on Everest and elsewhere—credit the help of a ‘third man’ who is not there.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204884404574361631588827614.html?mod=rss_opinion_main
“In ‘The Third Man Factor,’ John Geiger, a fellow at the University of Toronto, presents many accounts of such experiences, and not only from climbers. Among those who have felt a ghostly companionship he cites Charles Lindbergh on his solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927 and the last man to walk out of the South Tower of the World Trade Center before it collapsed on 9/11. ‘Over the years,’ Mr. Geiger writes, “the experience has occurred again and again, not only to 9/11 survivors, mountaineers, and divers, but also to polar explorers, prisoners of war, solo sailors, shipwreck survivors, aviators, and astronauts. All have escaped traumatic events only to tell strikingly similar stories of having experienced the close presence of a companion and helper.’”
Reminds me of this Bible story:
“Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, ‘Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?’ They replied, ‘Certainly, O king.’ He said, ‘Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.’”

Strange! Humans Glow in Visible Light
http://www.livescience.com/health/090722-body-glow.html
“The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal.”
“Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive. In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.”
“(This visible light differs from the infrared radiation — an invisible form of light — that comes from body heat.)”
“The researchers found the body glow rose and fell over the day, with its lowest point at 10 a.m. and its peak at 4 p.m., dropping gradually after that. These findings suggest there is light emission linked to our body clocks, most likely due to how our metabolic rhythms fluctuate over the course of the day.”
“Faces glowed more than the rest of the body…”
