In theoretical physics, profound theories entail the
possibility (some theories suggest it as an overwhelming
probability) that our particular space-time continuum
is but one amongst many, if not one among an all-but
infinite if not infinite number of space-time continuums.

Even though those profound theories aren't mentioned
in the following article, the data mentioned could be
explained by there being a connection to another space-
time continuum. At the very least, the data suggests
that the likelihood that our particular space-time con-
tinuum extends far beyond our current simplistic "in
the beginning, there was a big bang" notions that both
the religious and many religion/culturally-impacted sci-
entists have had ever since Edwin Hubble discovered
our particular space-time continuum was expanding ...

Mysterious Cosmic 'Dark Flow' Tracked
Deeper Into Universe
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100310162829.htm
- - -

Excerpts:

The dark flow is controversial because the distribution
of matter in the observed universe cannot account for
it. Its existence suggests that some structure beyond
the visible universe -- outside our "horizon" -- is pulling
on matter in our vicinity.

Cosmologists regard the microwave background -- a
flash of light emitted 380,000 years after the universe
formed -- as the ultimate cosmic reference frame. Rela-
tive to it, all large-scale motion should show no preferred
direction.

...

Future plans call for testing the findings against newer
data released from the WMAP project and the European
Space Agency's Planck mission, which is also currently
mapping the microwave background.

Unfortunately the "continuums" are only continuous within themselves and
any theory that would permit/all/posit communications among the various
space-time things are few and far between. In other words you will never
be able to verify or disprove it.

The funky thing is that no only is space expanding, but so is time itself.

The first detection of the background radiation was a fluke.

Wouldn't that negate Parkinsons Law..."Work expands to fill the time
available."?

Time isn't expanding, it's contracting. A year was much longer when
I was a child than it is now.

When you were one day old, that day represented 100% of your life
experience, When you are 50, a day represents about .000001%. If you
have Altzheimers, the day becomes 100% again.

And where does the time go when you are asleep? A child can sleep for
ten hours whereas an elderly person can sleep for four hours. The one
who doesn't want to go to bed early ends up using more of their time
sleeping. As a child, the summer holidays seemed like an eternity and
the school days dragged on. Time is merely a conception. This concept
is used to measure a "passing" of events. When there is nothing to
gauge the time, how can you say it exists? Time became a human
conception because of death, or no time left.
If I should be dead, then what would the life of 10,000 universes be?
A blink of the eye?

If you were a Mormon, and if you are a man, and if you had at least seven
wives, and if you followed all the rules, then you would make it to the
Celestial Heaven. And if you progressed while in heaven you would
eventually become a god and could create your own universe and make your own
rules.

But then there are an awful lot of "IFs" in that scenario. The biggest if
of all is "if they got the whole thing right to begin with".
