UCL Lunch Hour Lecture: Light and Darkness in the Accelerating Universe

Professor Ofer Lahav (UCL Physics and Astronomy)

It seems we live in a bizarre Universe. One of the greatest mysteries in the whole of science is the prospect that 75% of the Universe is made up from a mysterious substance known as 'Dark Energy', which causes an acceleration of the cosmic expansion. Since a further 21% of the Universe is made up from invisible 'Cold Dark Matter' that can only be detected through its gravitational effects, the ordinary atomic matter making up the rest is apparently only 4% of the total cosmic budget.

These discoveries require a shift in our perception as great as that made after Copernicus's revelation that the Earth moves around the Sun. This lecture will start by reviewing the chequered history of Dark Energy, not only since Einstein's proposal for a similar entity in 1917, but by tracing the concept back to Newton's ideas. This lecture will summarise the current evidence for Dark Energy and future surveys in which UCL is heavily involved: the "Dark Energy Survey", the Hubble Space Telescope and the proposed Euclid space mission.

This lecture marks the 350 year anniversary of the foundation of the Royal Society and their inaugural lecture by Christopher Wren.

    The dust of subatomic particles resulted after the collisions in LHC are particles of ethereal matter, even that the physicists give not them permission of existence! The electrical discharge to one Tesla coil was made and in a basin with water. Great was the surprise that the electrical discharge of the particles of electrical ether in water has the same ARBORESCENT SHAPE - proving the existence, and in water of the primary ethereal gravitational field.

    From 1967 I analyse with attention all published experiments concerning the accelerators of particles and the controlled thermonuclear fusion, moreover and the scriptural and paleoastronautical information. I had made only a logical and rational synthesis of the applied science, therefore my brothers- you block not the your sites and my computer. Please you to support me, how long, I still can produce such information.

    The UNIFIED LAW is the LAW of the UNIVERSAL ATTRACTION FORCES= of the GRAVITATIONAL INTERACTION FORCES = of the ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD FORCES produced by the inner movement of the inertial rotation of the ethereal matter from bodies and substances. This, because, the ethereal particles are in continuous movement through the them nature, being electrical – produce electrical energy, being named and electrogenic particles.

    The “GRAVITY” is a radiation and an electromagnetic quadripolar field between two bodies. The gravity is not a chemical fixed bound, but is an elastic bound, which accompanys all those four states of aggregation of the matter: solid, liquid, gaseous and ethereal.

    Now, were collided particles in LHC and you seen that is nothimg: none Higgs boson, none Big-Bang, neither black holes, but only thousands of shards of ethereal particles.Therefore, now -return you physicists from your distraction at Isaac Newton with his universal attraction law= THE UNIFIED LAW OF THE MATTERS AND FORCES, at the eliminated ETHER by Einstein, at the unseen world of the ethereal and spiritual matters which fill up the Cosmos, and return you at the Lord- at God!

    The physicists show that about the discovery the Higgs boson it desire and the discovery the origins of the bodies'mass; the discovery the dark matter, the discovery the superior dimensions and the demonstration of the superposition. But as a result to the collisions of particles- the black holes had appeared not, the Big-Bang had appeared not demonstrating that the Large Hadron Collider bring not about us the Apocalipse.

    In 1964 physicist Peter Higgs has thinked existence to one energetic field which penetrate whole Universe, and named it "Higgs field" and his particles named "Higgs boson"and that these can give mass the subatomic particles.Thus appear the necessity as in the CERN-frame let it construct an accelerator more big: the LARGE HADRON COLLIDER,which made the first collisions of particles in 14 December 2009, afterwards in 2010, in 2011 and they uncovered not the Higgs boson particles

    The materials seem to be complicated and irregular at the sight with the free eye. But at microscope they it show simple and orderly. All the material shapes: animal. vegetal and mineral are made from atoms and these only from three constituents: protons, neutrons and electrons. The photon of light we see it and the photon of heat we feel it, but the ethereal particles are more small, of a few thousands time; we see not them now, but the our spirits see them.

    If in 1905 Einstein excludes the ETHER from physics, viz excludes the intergalactic matter, then the his disciples arrive with the relativity theory at Big-Bang, at black holes, holes of worm, at singularity and today at travel in time. Thus the great explosion of George Gamov and his fellows R.A.Ipher and R.C.Hermann, become cosmological standardized theory which is one great bluff!

    Between 1930...1935 the discord was photon of light.The opinion of physicists had not adopted existence in flight to photon, and photon remain without mass. If photon has not mass, he cannot interact with nothing on trajectory and the light speed remain constant lengthways the trajectory. Thus, in place let to consider that the photons lose themselves the speed on way as result the them interaction with the intergalactic matter, they had set the Universe let it dilate entirely
