Unfortunately scientific research depends on financial funding, where does most of the money come from if not governments. The people in power will fund and/or defund how they see fit, politics can and does have bias. If theologians got to make the scientific funding decisions, the science would turn out different than say, if atheists got to decide funding priorities. In any case, this is not heaven, science as it is deals with the material world, and as Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world".
So the Kingdom of which Jesus spoke is not the 5% observable BB universe, where and how is the spiritual kingdom to be found?
The easiest way to explain this logically, is the BB universe is based on space-time, where space and time are connected and act as one. The photon of energy has wavelength; space, and frequency; time, connected. The question is, what came before space-time; before our inertial universe, and also will continue to exist both during and even after space-time existed?
The simple solution is dissociated space-time, where space and time, are separate variables, that can each act as independent variables. If one can move is space, without the constraint of time, one could be everywhere, at the same time. This is a classic attribute of God called omnipresence. If you could move in time independent of space, the laws of physics would be the same in all space-time references. This is classically called omniscience.
Classically, God is also associated with light, which is another way of saying God is in a reference at the speed of light. If we apply Einstein's theory of Special Relativity to God, at the speed of light, he would see our space-time universe contracted to a point-instant. This makes it easy to be omnipresent, since a point-instant allows you to be everywhere, by default.
Separated space and separated time would be consistent with a spiritual type of realm; without mass, since mass is a part of space-time and cannot move at the speed of light. There is a natural barrier between the realms. Separated space and time is also consistent with the classic attributes of God.
All God would have had to do to create our space-time universe would be to cause some vectors of independent space and independent time to meet at a junction; form energy and space-time. Since independent space and independent time has far more options; infinite combinations, than does space-time, space-time is driven by the second law. Independent space and independent time implies infinite complexity; infinite entropy. The divine realm is leading us back to its source, via the second law; change is inevitable, with independent space and time the potential source for the second law.
If you look at the forces of nature, they all are connected to accelerations which is d/t/t. Based on the units, acceleration is space-time; d-t, plus extra time potential; t This extra time potential comes from space-time floating, in an infinite dimensional sea of independent space and independent time. The impact of the other realm, is to add time potential to space-time; forces of the universes, as well as the accelerated expansion of the universe; acceleration of an acceleration of space-time; d/t/t/t.
This acceleration of an acceleration; expanding universe, suggest we need to model time as 3-D, just as we do space (x y z). Time should be 3-D; (t1,t2,t3). T1 is connected to velocity and space-time, T2 is connected to acceleration and force, while t3 is connected to the expansion of the universe. The 3-D time vector can define each unique place in time.
Proof of independent space and independent time came be found within the human imagination. In our imagination, we can think of scenarios that are not possible in space-time; perpetual motion. For example, I can imagine a bridge made of el dente spaghetti. This is not possible in space-time, since the laws of physics would cause shear and collapse. However, if I could move in space, independent of time, so no forces can act; force needs time to act, I could layout the bridge.
The brain and frontal lobe, are part of space-time, but appear to be able to move information in ways that can exceed the laws of physics; space-time, more in line with independent space and time. When the Atheists claim God is imaginary, they also, unintentionally, say God is perceived via a matrix where information can be organized in ways, that mimicks space and time not connected. Faith is the belief in things not seen in space-time, but in space separated from time; eternal.
