SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of mapping matter beyond the Visible Universe (VU) using the EPR Sky approach. By measuring the polarity of photons from distant stars or galaxies, researchers can infer the presence or absence of matter at distances of 2R, where R is the distance to the observed star or galaxy. If definite polarity results are not obtained, it indicates the presence of matter beyond the VU. This method suggests the potential to map a universe seven times the volume of the current VU, although the feasibility of this approach remains contentious.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement and the EPR paradox
  • Familiarity with astronomical measurement techniques, particularly in photon polarity
  • Knowledge of the structure of the Visible Universe
  • Basic principles of cosmology and the concept of cosmic distances
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of quantum entanglement in astrophysics
  • Study the methodologies for measuring photon polarity in astronomical observations
  • Explore the concept of the Visible Universe and its limitations
  • Investigate theories on the existence of matter beyond the Visible Universe
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and cosmologists interested in advanced methods of mapping cosmic structures and understanding the implications of quantum mechanics in astrophysical contexts.

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?
