[quote=FruminousBandersnatch][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP so I would like to redirect this thread back to its original topic- is dark matter where the seven heavens lie?

I am in awe that science has finally discovered an area that is completely invisible to the naked eye but we now know truly exists. I read somewhere that dark matter takes up 80% of space ( there may be other figures, not sure). I was fascinated that astrophysicists who first detected dark matter were stunned to see a constellation of stars, gases, space debris everywhere but when they saw the space containing dark matter, it was void of anything..a stark contrast to the rest of space.

If its true and the heavens lie there, I wonder also how our souls reach there. It has to be wormholes, as described by people who have had near death experiences.

I'm just in awe of the possibility.... [/quote]

Science is still working a lot of things related to cosmology out.

There is the possibility our universe exists within a much larger space and new "universes" like ours that are popping into existence all the time - but that are undetectable to us due to the incredible distances involved. Or there is the possibility that our universe is part of a meta-space containing multiple "universes" on separate membranes.

Then there some recent theoretical work that says black holes can't exist due to collapsing stars' production of Hawking radiation in a manner that drops them below the critical mass necessary to form a singularity, after we spent the last 50 years or so convincing ourselves that they do exist and are at the center of galaxies. Whether they exist or not, there are debates about how they would work.

Your comment about wormholes, though, is an attempt to apply science to something that fundamentally unscientific. It's a modern version of asking the question how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. According to Christian theology, a soul is insubstantial and immaterial - it is a non-physical, non-corporeal aspect of our being. To attempt to apply physics to it and require a physical process like a wormhole for this immaterial thing to travel to some other physical place in the universe doesn't make sense.
