In all churches of the world, it is just right to serve prayers for the fact that the Hubble orbital space telescope that broke down in June 2006 was repaired almost immediately. And we still need to pray fervently that the US administration will abandon its intention to curtail the work of Hubble in a year. After all, if earthlings are destined to get some physical idea of the Creator in the foreseeable future, it is only thanks to this brainchild of modern technologies.
However, it would be worth remembering in prayers those who created such super-powerful telescopes as the Hawaiian Kek and the European ISO, as well as the English supercomputer called Cosmos. The emergence of all this supertechnology led to the fact that astrophysicists have become today, for the most part, deeply religious people.
The famous American astronomer Harlow Shapley, listing the most important entities that make up the universe - space, time, matter and energy - points to a certain fifth entity. “You can no longer doubt that it exists,” he says. - We could call it Power, Almighty Will, Information, Consciousness, Guiding Principle, Creator. But in any case, it should be a concept that corresponds to cosmic proportions, and possibly surpasses them."
Big Bang
Until recently, physicists were confident that, in principle, they figured out the laws of the universe and that only a few details needed to be added to a rational explanation of the world. A long time ago, their theories explain, the so-called Big Bang occurred, when from an incredibly dense microscopic drop of either matter or energy (there was no consensus on this matter) everything that became our Universe burst into freedom. For a trillionth fraction of a second, the scattering energy filled the astronomical expanses. Clumps of energy began to condense, turning into tiny particles that form atoms. From atoms, stars, galaxies, the Earth, everything that exists on it, including you and me, turned out.
The above picture of the universe seemed very convincing until the human mind was able, with the help of the latest technologies, to curse into the transcendental distances of the Universe. But in recent decades, discoveries have poured in one after another, and old scientific postulates began to crumble. The facts are convincing that without a reasonable beginning, without a careful plan of creation, the Universe simply could not have appeared.

Runaway galaxies
Until recently, all astrophysicists knew for sure: our Universe is expanding, galaxies are scattering in different directions, but this will not always be so. There are two hypotheses about the death of the universe, and both suggest that one day the energy of the original Big Bang will run out.
According to the first version, as it expands, the Universe will begin to age and cool, and the whole process will end with a global cosmic "rigor mortis" of the so-called heat death of the Universe. According to the second scenario, the Universe, having reached a certain volume, will stop expanding and begin to shrink, ending its existence with the so-called “big crunch”, when all matter will converge into one incredibly tiny particle of space.
However, it should be noted that the image of the periodically expanding and contracting Universe fits perfectly into the Hindu cosmogony. The bestseller was the book of the University of California professor Fridtjof Capra "The Tao of Physics". In modern physics, the professor finds confirmation of many postulates of the ancient teachings of the East. The Hindu model of the cosmos is based on the myth of "lila" - "divine play", during which the Creator creates, and then "folds" the world. Leela is a cyclical game in which the phases of life and mortal sleep of the Universe endlessly replace each other.
In the Bhagavad Gita, which is often called the “gospel of Hinduism,” the god Krishna describes this divine play of creation in the following words: “When the night of time ends, everything returns to my nature; at the first glimpse of a new day of time, I again reveal it to the world. Thus, through my nature, I carry out the act of universal creation, which repeats itself with the rotation of time. But I am not bound by this great work of creation. I am and I watch the drama of becoming."
Let's return, however, to the latest discoveries of scientists. They showed an amazing thing: the expansion rate of the Universe is increasing, galaxies are scattering in different directions faster and faster. They start at a speed of several thousand kilometers per second, and the last visible ones are moving at a speed close to light.
This acceleration cannot be explained by the laws of ordinary physics. Imagine that you threw a cobblestone into the river, and the stone began to accelerate by itself and flew away into infinity. Meanwhile, as has now been established, something similar is happening with space. “The impression is that a supernatural force, the Creator, pumps up our Universe with its energy, as we inflate a balloon, and makes it occupy ever larger volumes in the universe,” says Harlow Shapley. “It’s impossible to explain otherwise.”
The American journal "Science" in importance has compared the discovery of universal acceleration with the creation of the theory of relativity by Einstein. Only a single author does not have it - the model of the accelerating Universe was independently confirmed by different groups of scientists. Now researchers are faced with a dilemma - either to look for a source of energy "inflating" the universe, or to recognize the existence of an omnipotent Creator.
Divine curtain
In the same way, no one can answer the question of where the energy came from that existed in the world at the time of the Big Bang. Scientists in their materialistic conviction until recently were no different from churchmen. The Church claims that the world is God's creation. Astrophysicists have come up with a "cosmological constant": the energy of the world has always existed, and its sum, together with matter, is constant.
But if the existence of God is confirmed at least by a multitude of signs, by the spiritual experience of a huge number of people and by the words of holy books, then the "cosmological constant" is pure speculation, an assumption not supported by a single proof. And scientists themselves are best aware of this. Nobel laureate Charles Townes states: "There is clearly a rational principle in the laws of the universe." American astronomer Richard Karski put it even more simply: "As soon as a person thinks about the problem of the infinity of Time and Space, he inevitably comes to a clear and correct thought about God."
In the American Astrophysical Laboratory in Hawaii, on the monitors of almost all computers, you can see God creating the world as a screensaver. Scientists are not joking - they thus protect their minds from "phase shift". Without the recognition of the Divine power in the creation of the Universe, they would have a direct road to a madhouse. Outstanding astrophysicist Bernard Lowell in his book "Man and the Universe" frankly admits: "When comprehending the data obtained, I often get the feeling that I suddenly fell into a dense fog, where all objects lose their usual outlines." Take the Hubble discoveries. The telescope managed to photograph several sources of relict, or background, radiation. This microwave radiation comes to us from the depths of space and time, recalling events that occurred billions of years ago. And here's what's surprising:Gamma rays never appear twice from the same place - after the strongest instant flash, nothing can be seen from their source. Scientists have long puzzled over this riddle until someone suggested that other universes are created in the same way as ours was created at the time of the Big Bang. Who can conduct these experiments besides God?
Hubble made another startling discovery: explosions are roaring on the outskirts of our universe. “Compared to them, the explosion of all humanity's nuclear arsenals will seem like a faint firefly. These are the most horrible explosions ever observed by mankind. If something like this happened even in the most distant corner of our galaxy, the Earth would turn into a lifeless piece of rock,”said UCA astrophysicist Sun Veil.
Scientists immediately suggested that these explosions are a consequence of a space war waged between distant civilizations. However, scientists tend to accept a different version. Behind the flares that space explosions give, nothing is visible anymore. Build people a telescope the size of our planet, we still will not be able to look further. “It looks as if the Almighty has put a border on our penetration into space,” said German physicist Klaus Shtihl. - We are given to study only our Universe, and what is further is hidden behind the divine curtain.
Hackers of the Lord
The epicenters of cosmic explosions are located at a distance of about thirteen to fifteen billion light years from us - and this is, according to modern estimates, the age of our universe. Astronomers can only collect all the information that they manage to consider within these limits, then super-powerful computers have to say their word.
One of these "smart machines", worth two million pounds, is now busy calculating models of the universe at the University of Cambridge. The computer is nicknamed "Cosmos" and is operated by a national team of researchers from the UK's Computer Cosmology Consortium. Employees of the famous Silicon Valley (USA), the center of the global electronics industry, work with an equally powerful computer.
The researchers plan to use "smart machines" to simulate the history of the Universe from the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang to the present day. What happened before those very “first fractions of a second”, scientists do not ask computers - so as not to immediately ruin the technology.
As it became known recently from one of the employees of the British cosmological consortium, a certain top-secret “Creator's code” is embedded in the Cosmos software for the safety of the project. Its essence is to protect equipment from breakdown at the moment when the computer realizes that without the intervention of God the world could not be created, and without the recognition of God it cannot be understood.
As soon as all the data put into the computer by a person enter into contradiction with each other, the protection program will turn on and the “Divine constant” will be automatically entered into all the formulas of the universe, instead of the notorious cosmological constant.
Having learned about the "Creator's code", the American magazine Newsweek published an article under the loud headline "Scientists have figured out God!" This, of course, is a sensational distortion, but there is really a competition among the computer elite of the world - who will find IT between the signs of mathematical formulas and signals of the universe with one hundred percent reliability, who will become the first "hacker" of the information system of the Universal consciousness.
Director of the International Institute of Theoretical and Applied Physics AE Akimov in his work "Physics recognizes the Superintelligence" says: "The universe is an ultra-modern computing machine, and apart from it there is nothing else in the world. Everything else is some form of the manifested Absolute."
… Above the toggle switch, through which the "Cosmos" supercomputer is connected to the network, one of the scientists glued a plate with the prayer "Save, save and have mercy. Amen". It has been hanging for over a year now and no one takes it off …
