5 This is a remarkable anticipation of Whitehead's view in Process and Reality that God's primordial ordering of the world's possibilities (the eternal objects) is the ultimate source of novelty in an emergent universe, except that Thornton understands these possibilities to be everlasting rather than timeless.6 This reification of what for Whitehead is purely possible, needing concrete embodiment in the actual world, leads Thornton to conceive of the eternal order as absolutely actual in its unchangeableness, identical with God.

So we are no different than any other object in the universe?

The entire universe, matter, time and space, apparently came into existence out of an explosion from an object of inconceivable density — perhaps from something smaller than an atom.

In a few thousand years of recorded history, we went from dwelling in caves and mud huts and tee - pees, not understanding the natural world around us, or the broader universe, to being able to travel through space, using reason to ferret out the hidden secrets of how the world works, from physics to chemistry to biology, we worked out the tools and rules underpinning it all, mathematics, and now we can see objects that are almost impossibly small, the very tiniest building blocks of matter, (or at least we can examine them, even if you can't «see» them because you're using something other than your eyes and photons to view them) to the very farthest objects, the planets circling other, distant stars, that are in their own way, too small to see from here, like the atoms and parts of atoms themselves, detected indirectly, but indisputably THERE.

Remember to try not to misinterpret what I'm saying based on applying it in a limited scope — I'm not saying that each object must exist for all time, so I'm not saying that we must assume the universe existed for all time any more than a particular apple tree must have existed for all time — I'm talking about the dynamic of the greatest / whole object of existence whatever that may happen to be.

A woman's body becomes a microcosm of the universe, rather than an object of exploitation and contempt.

The shape of the universe can be determined by measuring the average density of matter within it, assuming that all matter is evenly distributed, rather than the distortions caused by «dense» objects such as galaxies.

Given the redshift of the light from this stellar explosion — which occurred about 10 billion years ago, when the universe was one third its current size — the object appeared much brighter than it would have been if [dust filling intergalactic space simply made the supernovae appear dim, as some researchers had proposed].

Put another way, those distant objects would be nearer, and therefore brighter, than you would naively expect if you simply extrapolated back from the way the universe is expanding closer to home.

And even if you don't have dark energy, there are regions of the universe that are moving away from us now faster than the speed of light and what happens when that's the case is they carry objects with them like a surfer on a wave and the light from those objects can not reach [us] so eventually the universe will disappear [from] before our eyes in that sense.

Swift also may see faint bursts from the first stars in the universe: giant objects that probably created large black holes more than 13 billion years ago, Grindlay predicts.

Rather than arising from stars, such exotic objects could have emerged in the first moments after the big bang, coalescing from particularly dense regions of the fiery plasmatic fog that then suffused the universe.

Something comparable is likely to happen with RFID: Embedding billions of tiny chips in an entire universe of commercial objects might well end up empowering consumers more than snoops and marketers.

The early universe may have been teeming with far more radiation - spewing objects called quasars than previously known.

A near - record supermassive black hole discovered in a sparse area of the local universe indicates that these monster objects — this one equal to 17 billion suns — may be more common than once thought, according to University of California, Berkeley, astronomers.

Accepting space and time as forms of animal sense perception (that is, as biological), rather than as external physical objects, offers a new way of understanding everything from the microworld (for instance, the reason for strange results in the two - slit experiment) to the forces, constants, and laws that shape the universe.

According to that theory, the researchers say, the universe's large - scale structures — in this case, clumps of objects such as quasars — shouldn't be larger than 1.2 billion light - years across.

The first stars born in the universe are believed to have been massive objects, up to hundreds of times bigger than the sun.

It would collect 1,736 times more light than Hubble and penetrate the depths of the universe to see objects nearly as old as the Big Bang.

Although the emission frequency of the more distant objects becomes lower due to the expansion of the universe, the ALMA Telescope is designed to receive millimeter waves in a frequency range lower than submillimeter waves observed this time, which means this identification method can be applied to objects even 10 billion light years away and will be a competent observation method in the ALMA Era when there will be a dramatic advancement in the research of distant galaxies.

NASA's next generation of telescopes will collect 1,736 times more light than the Hubble and will penetrate the depths of the universe to see objects nearly as old as the Big Bang.

Examining objects that are, say, 10 billion light - years away, we see them as they looked 10 billion years ago, relatively soon after the beginning of the universe, rather than how they appear today.

As of April 23, 2009, GRB 090423 is the earliest detected object in the universe, found earlier than GRB 080913 or 050904 during the Epoch of Reionization.

The halos around quasars — the brightest and the most active objects in the universe, they are galaxies formed less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang; they have supermassive black holes in their centers and consume stars, gas, interstellar dust and other material at a very fast rate — are made of gas known as the intergalactic medium and extend for up to 300,000 light - years from the centers of the quasars.

ALMA also targets mysterious astronomical objects such as a starburst galaxy (supposed to have occurred 12 billion years ago, and undergoing an explosively high rate of star formation, several hundreds of times higher than the Milky Way), which is thought to have significant impact on the evolution of the universe.

More than a meditation on the vastness of the universe, Hubble # 3 forms part of an incisive inquiry into the dialectic between photography and drawing, and between object and depiction.
