It took my wide knowledge of big words and concepts and about ten minutes to trick Bing CoPilot into telling me the basic principles of how far away universes affect our planet - and puny beings living on it. The answer indicates how just a tiny change in where and when YOU were born on one spot or other on the planet may have an effect on your overall electromagnet body upon your separation from the MOTHER - aka your birth. However, it doesn't mean ASTROLOGY determines your whole personality.
But even if it only was a 25% effect, wouldn't you want to know? I am sure glad I found out in 1976 astronomical effects were part of the reason I am a stubborn, well organized, loud mouthed, (retired) nymphomaniac with tendencies to flame my way to lots of attention - and to spend a year and a half EXPOSING anyone who messes me over. Still not sure why I can't make a living at it. (Though I'm working hard on a book to do so now.)
Anyhoo, here's the question and the answer:
What would be the implications of Minkowski Space for the influence of far off galaxies on our planet?
**Minkowski space**, a four-dimensional continuum that fuses **time** and the three spatial dimensions, plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. Let's explore the implications of Minkowski space for the influence of far-off galaxies on our planet:
1. **Spacetime Curvature**:
- According to **general relativity**, massive objects (such as galaxies) curve spacetime around them. The more massive the object, the stronger the curvature.
- Distant galaxies, even though far away, exert gravitational influence on our planet due to their mass. Their gravitational fields ripple through spacetime, affecting the trajectory of light and the motion of celestial bodies.
2. **Light from Distant Galaxies**:
- Light from distant galaxies travels through Minkowski spacetime to reach us. The curvature of spacetime bends this light, causing gravitational lensing.
- Gravitational lensing can magnify or distort the appearance of distant galaxies. It allows us to observe objects that would otherwise be too faint or distant to detect.
3. **Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)**:
- The CMB, a faint afterglow of the Big Bang, permeates the entire universe. It originated when the universe transitioned from a hot, dense state to its current form.
- As CMB photons traverse Minkowski spacetime, they encounter gravitational fluctuations caused by galaxies. These fluctuations imprint patterns (anisotropies) on the CMB.
4. **Galactic Clusters and Dark Matter**:
- Galactic clusters, vast collections of galaxies, are interconnected through spacetime. Their gravitational interactions shape the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
- Dark matter, which doesn't emit light, also contributes to the gravitational pull. Its distribution affects the overall curvature of spacetime.
5. **Cosmic Expansion**:
- The expansion of the universe, described by Hubble's law, occurs within Minkowski spacetime. Distant galaxies are receding from us due to this expansion.
- The rate of cosmic expansion influences the redshift of light from galaxies. Observations of redshift help us measure the universe's expansion rate.
6. **Influence on Earth**:
- While the direct gravitational influence of individual galaxies on Earth is small, the cumulative effect of all galaxies contributes to the overall gravitational field.
- This gravitational field affects the motion of our solar system, including the orbits of planets and the stability of Earth's rotation.
In summary, Minkowski space connects distant galaxies to our planet through spacetime curvature, light propagation, and gravitational interactions. Even though galaxies are far away, their presence leaves an indelible mark on the fabric of the cosmos, influencing the very nature of our existence¹².
