Exploring the EPR Sky: Detecting Matter Beyond Our Visible Universe

In summary, if we focus our telescope on a star or galaxy that is R light years away and continually measure the polarity of the photons received, we can determine whether or not there is matter at a distance of 2R from us. If we are unable to get definite results, this indicates the presence of matter at 2R. This concept is known as the EPR Sky. However, if the star or galaxy is beyond half the radius of the Visible Universe, we would be detecting matter outside of the VU when we are unable to get definite polarity results. This would only work until R became equal to the VU's radius, which would create a map of the distribution of matter outside of the VU or possibly indicate a

Suppose that we focus our optical or radio telescope on
a star or galaxy R light years away. If we continually
measure the polarity of the photons received and
continually get definite results, then we know that at
the location 2R from us, the location is empty of matter;
ie, no detection. But if we notice that we cannot get
definite results, then we know that matter is there (at 2R).
IE, photons from R are giving us information about the condition
of space 2R distant...THE EPR SKY.

Now suppose that the star or galaxy is beyond half the radius
of the Visible Universe...now we would be detecting matter
that is outside of the Visible Universe, when we are unable
to get definite polarity results. This would work until R became
equal to the radius of the VU. This would produce a map of the
distribution of matter outside of the VU or at least be an
indication of a universe 7 times the volume of our VU.

Does this seem possible?

No. ?:confused:?

Are you up to trying to prove a negative?
 

Related to Exploring the EPR Sky: Detecting Matter Beyond Our Visible Universe

1. What is the EPR Sky?

The EPR Sky refers to the area of the universe that is beyond our visible range. It stands for "Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Sky" and is named after the famous physicists who proposed the concept of entanglement in quantum mechanics.

2. How do scientists detect matter in the EPR Sky?

Scientists use a variety of methods to detect matter in the EPR Sky, including telescopes that can detect different wavelengths of light, such as X-rays and radio waves. They also use particle detectors and gravitational lensing techniques to indirectly detect the presence of matter.

3. What is the significance of detecting matter in the EPR Sky?

The detection of matter in the EPR Sky can provide valuable insights into the composition and evolution of our universe. It can also help us understand the elusive dark matter and dark energy, which are thought to make up a large portion of the universe's mass and energy.

4. Can we ever see the EPR Sky with our naked eye?

No, the EPR Sky is beyond our visible range and cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, with the advancement of technology, scientists are constantly finding new ways to observe and study this mysterious region of the universe.

5. How does exploring the EPR Sky contribute to our understanding of the universe?

Exploring the EPR Sky allows us to expand our knowledge of the universe and unravel its mysteries. By studying the matter in this region, we can gain a better understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies, the role of dark matter and dark energy, and potentially discover new physical laws that govern the universe.
