Has anyone ever examined the Physics of the Mormon 'Kolob'?

Question

I alway thought this was taken as a matter of faith. Now an engineer as attempted to 'prove' the physics of the Book of Abraham http://www.blazelabs.com/f-u-free.asp

However, a response from another scientist at
http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2007/02/another_revolution_in_physics_1.php
refutes it. I had no idea this topic was ever discussed in scientific circles regarding the Unified Field Theory and an Egyptian Funerary Papyri.
Once again there are two sides to every argument, but in this case, I understand neither.

>>Princess - read the links - they are not baiting, but show an interesting dialog between physicists.

Answer 1

I was going to when I read this question but then I saw that YOU were the one asking so I desired to not waste my cool time ^_^

Answer 2

While it is less then hardly, any evidence to the exsistance of "Kolob", some astronomy reports suggest the largest star in the universe is "Betlegese", located in the Orion constelation. That it could be the same star used as a reference to Kolob, is another matter. However it might be interesting to study other prodestant belief systems in that there are those which believe something of religous interest is taking place in the "Orion Nebulae" Of course "Betlegese...? Kolob" are in the same area. Internet, Hubble photographs make for very interesting viewing for those of this type of interest . Massive gas clouds and what appears to be forming, new stars...

In conjunction with these interesting aspects of the universe around us, throw into the mix an interest in where, might be the "center" of the universe? It becomes very complex that discussion due to the various concepts of, space - time studies. There are some astonomical feelings if not total belief, that the center of the universe is also some where in the close vcinity of the "Orion" constelation.

Ok from a religious concept of things, the thinking eventualy comes to the point, that where would a "Supreme Being" wish to make his or her place of residence other then at the center of his/her property. Add to this line of reasoning, where is the preference of an earthly home be placed? but in the center of the playgound the children will occupy. who knows the kids in the sand box might start arguing over their toys???? : )))

Answer 3

Yes. It wasn't until 1920 the so-called Great Debate took place between scientists, concerning the nature of the Milky Way, spiral nebulae, and the dimensions of the universe. In the past year scientists have just begun discussing how certain giant object in the center of the Milky Way control the orbits or other stars.

So here is older evidence, perhaps the oldest, that arrives at what we are only beginning to understand.

There was man who tried to start a conversation about how hot it was. Then about who was running for office, and then about foreign policy. The other man asked him if we knew any thing about the little round droppings rabbits left? "Why no." was the reply. Then the other man said "You have come in telling me about the weather, politics and foreign policy and you don't even know anything about sh*t."

Answer 4

Mormonism is a peculiar and wonderful blend of tabloid sci-fi and juvenile interest-enjoying invented via a clever farm boy to make funds from gullible human beings interior the middle of the nineteenth century. It has no foundation in certainty. all people who claims to be a scientist who takes time to play around with some thing like that's the two yanking your scrotum or won't be a scientist. So overlook it. it truly is sillyness.

Answer 5

Well, at least the Mormon concept of God can be related to physics to some degree...unlike some other religions' concept which seems to consist of an amorphous, ambiguous entity who exists everywhere and nowhere, always and never....

Answer 6

The pearl of great price is wrong no evidence to support Joseph Smith on this

Answer 7

I haven't studied the Mormons in any great detail yet.

Answer 8

I don't understand either of the links. Maybe with a few more physics classes (not likely). Thanks for the links.
