On Describing the Total Universe As a Non-Self-Similar Fractal (NSSF) Set Tim Crowther August 2010-April 2011 “We are made of star stuff; the stuff of stars contemplating its own origin...an assembly of ten million-million atoms contemplating the nature of the atom. Our obligation to survive is owed not only to ourselves [and those we love] but to that universe, ancient and vast, from which we spring. We are a way for the universe to know itself”. An Extract from Cosmos, by Carl Sagan, 1980 One conceptual question has been puzzling people for a long time: As the observable universe has been expanding, what has it been expanding into and where did it come from? In this essay I will combine these two questions into one: What is the Total Universe? I will begin the attempt to develop such a description by examining our linguistic human limitations because I believe that this language barrier between our evolved language and a description of the total universe can be surmounted: I believe that Carl Sagan was right when he proposed that we are a way for the universe to know herself. I wonder: if the total universe could speak to us, what would it say? https://heckgrammar.co.uk/getObject.php?url=%2Fweb_files%2Fdepartments%2Flibrary%2FFile%2FThe_Non_Self_Similar_Fractal_Hypothesis.doc
