TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

The History of the Universe

Michael Shull of the University of Colorado and a team of researchers have examined evidence from Hubble Space Telescope and determined that early on in its history, the universe was super hot, then started to cool down in what they call the Quasar Era. Via Lee Hamilton's blog and Physorg: "This diagram traces the evolution of the universe from the big bang to the present. Two watershed epochs are shown. Not long after the big bang, light from the first stars burned off a fog of cold hydrogen in a process called reionization. At a later epoch quasars, the black-hole-powered cores of active galaxies, pumped out enough ultraviolet light to reionize the primordial helium." The team's results will be published in the October 20 issue of The Astrophysical Journal (homepage here).
