Hubble
Ultra
Deep Field 2
In 2004, astronomers took a million-second exposure of a dark
patch of sky with Hubble's
Advanced Camera for Surveys. Deep into the past, far beyond the local
galaxies, they detected
10,000 primordial galaxies in an area of roughly 11 square minutes.
Astronomers call the photo
the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF). Here is a you-tube video that
starts with local galaxies and
zooms into a dark spot until you see a low resolution version of the
HUDF.

During the summer of 2009, astronauts reconditioned Hubble and
installed the Wide field
Camera (WFC3). The new camera is sensitive to near infrared, visible
and ultra violet light.
Infrared is long wave light; the light primordial galaxies shine in.
Using the new camera,
astronomers re imaged the 2004 HUDF scene. In the new photo, the
primordial galaxies are
fuzzier than in the old picture, because it was a two-day exposure
instead of two weeks.
However, galaxies in the new photo have a greater color range. In
astronomical photos, the colors
represent the relative frequencies of the received light. The red
colors in the photo represent
infrared light, which are the most distant visible galaxies in the
field. The wider spectral range
shows that individual primordial galaxies have different frequencies
(colors) within the same
galaxy. The galactic cores often have vastly different colors than the
budding spiral arms.
Here are two galaxies from the new HUDF image. The one on
the left is HUDF #3180. We see
that the core of this budding spiral galaxy shines in longer waves than
the distinct blue, star
clusters that evidently are accelerating outward. Notice the distinct
globs of stars that are blue in color. The right galaxy in this image
is HUDF #4801 that is shooting out a bright, straight, red jet. The jet
is interrupted periodically, so that the
emerging matter is divided into discrete globs. Again we see that the
emerging matter has a
redder color (lower light frequencies) than the core of the primordial
galaxy.
Astronomers claim that they imaged some infrared galaxies in the new
photo as they looked 600
million years after the Big Bang. How do scientists come up with
mathematical ideas like the Big
Bang? All complex theories are built on simpler ideas. The simplest
idea in the scientific system
is the notion that the properties of matter are fixed, not emerging.
Scientists never question this
idea, since it is the historical basis for their definitions, ways of
measuring their definitions and
their mathematical ways of manipulating their definitions. The
scientific definitions of matter and
time were constructed on the elementary assumption that the properties
of matter are not
changing relationally throughout cosmic history. This idea was invented
by a pagan Greek.
Biblical physics is based on the diametrically opposite principle: that
the whole creation is
phthora - fundamentally changing. The evidence for biblical physics in
the HUDF is
overwhelming. We can visually compare galaxies at different ranges
(eras) and notice how
atomic clocks accelerate (blue shift) throughout cosmic history. When
we compare ancient
galaxies with local ones, we see that the galaxies grew, the stars
accelerating outward, rotating
around and spreading out to take up more volume. Visually, we see that
the atomic clocks and
galactic orbits accelerated together as billions of galaxies grew into
huge growth spirals. The
Bible repeatedly states that God is spreading out the heavens in
unbroken continuity. He is the
God who calls the stars to come out continually. He even placed the
Sun, Moon and stars in the
raqiya, the spreading out place. Carefully test the elementary
assumption upon which Western
science was constructed. It is the notion that the properties of matter
are fixed, not emerging.
