AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept of using optical or radio telescopes to detect matter beyond the visible universe by analyzing the polarity of photons from distant stars or galaxies. If definite polarity results are obtained, it indicates an absence of matter at a specific distance, while indeterminate results suggest the presence of matter. This method could theoretically map matter outside the visible universe, particularly if the observed distance exceeds half the radius of the visible universe. The idea proposes that this could reveal a universe seven times larger than the visible one. However, the feasibility of this approach remains in question, prompting skepticism about its validity.

Suppose that we focus our optical or radio telescope on
a star or galaxy R light years away. If we continually
measure the polarity of the photons received and
continually get definite results, then we know that at
the location 2R from us, the location is empty of matter;
ie, no detection. But if we notice that we cannot get
definite results, then we know that matter is there (at 2R).
IE, photons from R are giving us information about the condition
of space 2R distant...THE EPR SKY.

Now suppose that the star or galaxy is beyond half the radius
of the Visible Universe...now we would be detecting matter
that is outside of the Visible Universe, when we are unable
to get definite polarity results. This would work until R became
equal to the radius of the VU. This would produce a map of the
distribution of matter outside of the VU or at least be an
indication of a universe 7 times the volume of our VU.

Does this seem possible?

No. ?:confused:?
 
Are you up to trying to prove a negative?
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
