#^Scientist Says Heaven May Exist at the Edge of the Observable UniverseDr Michael Guillen, a physicist with PhDs in physics, mathematics, and astronomy who once taught at Harvard, has put forward a bold theory. In a recent
Fox News essay, he argues that heaven isn’t a mythical cloud realm but a real, unreachable boundary in the universe known as the
cosmic horizon.
Biblical Ties to an Unreachable Realm
Guillen draws on Edwin Hubble’s 1929 discovery that galaxies recede from Earth faster the farther they are, like fragments from an explosion. This expansion reaches a limit where distant objects move at light speed, 186,000 miles per second, marking the cosmic horizon, about 273 billion trillion miles away.
The scientist connects this to biblical descriptions of heaven as existing in three levels: Earth’s atmosphere, outer space, and a highest realm where God resides. Scriptures often portray God looking ‘down’ from above while humans gaze ‘up,’ aligning with the horizon’s position at the universe’s edge. Einstein’s special relativity bars mortals from crossing, as only light and non-material entities reach such speeds, halting time at the boundary.
Science of the Unseen Realm
Modern cosmology describes the cosmic horizon, often called the event horizon, as a boundary roughly 16 billion light-years away in comoving distance. Beyond it, light emitted today will never reach Earth due to the universe’s accelerating expansion driven by dark energy. This horizon arises from general relativity and
Big Bang cosmology. While the particle horizon marks what we can see from the past (about 46 billion light-years), the event horizon limits future observations, rendering regions forever inaccessible as space itself expands faster than light.
Dr Guillen theorises that this hidden realm beyond the horizon holds a full universe, invisible to us and potentially predating the observable universe’s oldest structures, like those near the cosmic microwave background from 380,000 years post-Big Bang. At the horizon, time effectively stops per relativity, creating timelessness suited only for light-like, non-material entities, while space persists, making it theoretically habitable by such beings.
