ASTRONOMY and ASTROPHYSICS -- Gamma Ray Bursts -- REAL CAUSE ! Astrophysicists and astronomers are still scratching their heads about the mysterious GAMMA RAY BURSTS. They were originally thought to originate from "neutron stars" in the disc of our galaxy. But the new Gamma Ray Telescopes now in Earth orbit have been detecting them in all directions uniformly, and their source locations in space do NOT correspond to any known objects, (except for a few cases of directional coincidence). Gamma ray bursts are a NECESSARY CONSEQUENCE in the GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the Physical Universe developed by the late Physicist Dewey B. Larson. According to page 386 of his book "THE UNIVERSE OF MOTION", published in 1984, the gamma ray bursts are coming from SUPERNOVA EXPLOSIONS in the ANTI MATTER HALF of the Physical Universe, which Larson calls the "Cosmic Sector". Because the antimatter universe exists in a RECIPROCAL RELATION to our material universe, with the SPEED OF LIGHT as the BOUNDARY between them, and has THREE dimensions of TIME, and ONLY ONE dimension of space, the gamma ray bursts can pop into our material half ANYWHERE in space, seemingly at random. I wonder how close to us in space a source location would have to be for a gamma ray burst to kill all or most life on Earth ! There would be NO WAY to predict one, NOR to stop it ! Perhaps some of the MASS EXTINCTIONS of the past, which are now being blamed on impacts of comets and asteroids, were actually caused by nearby GAMMA RAY BURSTS !

Larson, can be found at the web site http://www.rstheory.com . Robert E. McElwaine B.S., Physics and Astronomy, UW-EC P.S.: The 3-degree microwave background radiation, which is assumed to be evidence for the "Big Bang" theory, is instead actually STAR LIGHT from the ANTI-MATTER HALF of the Physical Universe. P.S.2: PASS IT ON !
