 | Dommedag = time reversal + time re-reversa~

At the turn of the millennium, those days are long gone when the idea of
time reversal as a specific physical explanation of the resurrection of
mankind was esoteric knowledge, only accessible to, and discussed by,
physicists employed by the military intelligence communities.
By way of example, a Muslim physician, Dr. Humayoun Khan wrote a book in
1996 having this idea in the title: 'The Resurrection of Mankind through the
Reversal of Time'.
However, Dr. Khan does not envisage an immediately imminent Doomsday
equivalent to World War Three but combines the resurrection of mankind with
the well-known but highly disputed idea that time will be reversed when the
universe stops expanding after the initial 'big bang', followed by a period
of contraction leading to the 'big crunch', which is the end of everything
including space and time themselves.
One thing is certain, until Doomsday, the development and possible
termination of the universe is more a matter of speculation than of science.
I suspect that immediately after Doomsday, when ambiguity and concealment
does not serve a specific purpose any longer, the ETI will in unambiguous,
up-to-date scientific language amplify on the fascinating lines from Isaiah
40:26: "Lift up your eyes to the heavens; consider who created it all, led
out their host one by one and called them all by their names; through his
great might, his might and power, not one is missing."
I interpret the verse as an indication that our parent ETI's level of
astronomical knowledge implies a complete mapping of the universe as well as
naming and counting all of its stars. You are free to prefer a different
interpretation, but although in comparison with our parent ETI we must
regard our own means as considerably more modest, mapping the universe has
been an ongoing and largely successful endeavour since the late 1970's.
If it is possible for mankind to survey the universe, it may be possible to
calculate and implement subtle interventions too, Doomsday being a case in
point.
However that may be, the universe is to all appearances much more human and
much less of a stony wilderness than we suspected some decades ago.
Dr. Khan's book appears to be biased in favour of Islam. As far as I can
see, the Jewish and the Christian religions and Islam are monotheistic
variations of the same attitude to God or the parent ETI, which the filial
generations in the galaxy at early stages of development will invariably
adopt, and the bible quotations below do not intend to proselytise for a
definite religious denomination.
When secularisation and atheism begin to raise their - and our - heads at a
late stage of development of our global civilization a few hundred years
before Doomsday, it becomes topical, a little later, to fantasise about
contact with more or less equal civilizations in other solar systems.
It is a commonplace among science fiction writers that confronted with a
possible contact with an ETI you must be prepared to meet a foreign
civilization which is perhaps not quite like Santa Claus. The beard may look
kind of different, the safe, wimpy absence of sex may not be there, some
sort of aggression may even be involved - and revealed.

Jeg ser, at der også er andre (lange) indlæg på engelsk i denne gruppe.
Er der nogen særlig grund til, at du lige falder over mit indlæg, men ikke
andres, som også er på engelsk ?

Nej der er ikke nogen særlig grund til at det lige er i et svar på et
af dine indlæg. - Men hvis du tænker på Mogens Kall kan jeg af gode
tekniske årsager ikke længere se hvad han skriver.
Hvis du nu gav et kort indholdsresume på dansk af disse engelske
citater, så kunne også jeg måske få noget ud af dem

Han er ikke den eneste, der irriteres over det

Jeg er ikke selv "irriteret", da det altid er spændende med nye tanker i
gruppen, men på den anden side gider jeg ikke læse så lange og komplicerede
indlæg på engelsk: Kan du ikke koge det ned til noget kort, forståelig
dansk?

Han mener vel, at det er relevant for gruppen?
