	Noon Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Noon Universe is a fictional future alternate universe that serves as a setting for a book series written by Strugatsky brothers.
		While the Noon Universe shares many utopian qualities with the early Star Trek universe (such as world peace and high standards of living), it has its share of problems and internal conflicts.
		The most striking difference between Noon Universe and most of the other fictional sci-fi universes (most famous include Dune, Star Wars and Babylon 5) is a complete denial of imperialism.

	Boris and Arkady Strugatsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the main characteristics of Noon Universe are a very high level of social, scientific, and technological development, high creativity of the general population, and very significant increase in the level of societal maturity compared to either the modern world, or any of those known to exist.
		The Earth of Noon Universe is a governed by a global technocratic council composed of the world's leading scientists, philosophers.
		They share many attributes with the Wanderers from Noon Universe including a near-mystical reputation, comparatively high levels of technology and zealous tendency to preserve their secrets.

	The Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Astrology
		Focused on a universal goal, you may not attend to the needs of individuals in ordinary circumstances.
		Piscean Age Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the position of the stars in relation to the Earth slowly changes, moving through one sign of the zodiac every 2,100 years.
		Since there are no lines of demarcation in the universe, just transitional areas, the full effect of entering an age may begin to occur a hundred years or more before any date given as the beginning of an age, and may not completely manifest for hundreds of years after the age has officially started.

		As a result, for part of the year, noon for the sun is up to a few minutes earlier than shown by a clock, or by star time, while for the rest of the year it is up to a few minutes later than shown by a clock or by star time.
		If you couldn't take a noon sight of the sun (couldn't see the sun, or couldn't see the horizon), you may be able to take dawn or evening sights of several stars.
		Because the earth's axis is fixed in the universe of stars, doesn't change direction relative to the stars as the earth rotates, the GP for a particular star traces out a circle of latitude on the earth.

		She declares, for example, that "on the quantum level of the universe the objective truth seems to be that we lose objective reality," which is, to say the least, debatable.
		At most, the laws of physics could be said to be the "formal cause" of the physical universe, whereas by "the First Cause" is meant the efficient cause of the universe, the cause of its very existence.
		The term "the universe" should really be applied to this whole system with its laws, and not, as is misleadingly done in such discussions, to "space-times" that are coming into and going out of existence.

	"The universe according to Hubble"
		Since light travels at a constant speed, the size of the universe would be the distance light has covered since the universe began-which would also be the age of the universe.
		So the question was to calculate the age of the universe-or how long those pesky raisins had been traveling outward in their expanding dough.
		Astronomers know that their estimate of the age of the universe will have to change when someone manages to calculate the density of the universe.

		Highlights include measurements of the mean mass density of the universe both from the galaxy power spectrum and from redshift-space distortions, an estimate of the baryon fraction from acoustic oscilllations in the power spectrum, an improved upper limit on the neutrino mass, and the first measurements of the galaxy bias parameter.
		Specifically, the redshift distribution of clusters is a sensitive probe of the equation of state parameter of the dark energy w, and is robust against the uncertain state of baryons in clusters.
		A variety of observations indicate that the universe is dominated by dark energy with negative pressure, one possibility for which is a cosmological constant.

		This means that no sentient race of Noon Universe builds an inter-planetar state ( republic, empire etc.) or has ever built one.
		Instead, most of them keep to their own planets and the only space-faring ones ( humans and, probably, Wanderers) have chosen a selfless assisting in scientifical developement of less advanced civilizations (" progressing ") rather than building a galactical empire based on their technological vantage.

		They are not fixed in the universe over time, rather their movements relative to each other and earth are so slow and distant that they seem to be fixed in the sky during a navigator's lifetime.
		Notice that the sun hangs in the sky due south of Polaris and the observer's position at local apparent noon.

		The slant of the Earth's axis is responsible for the figure 8; the elliptical orbit is responsible for the figure 8 having one bigger and one smaller half.
		Note that clock noon is the time at which clocks show 12.00pm and is repeated exactly every 24 hours, while astronomical noon is the point directly between sunrise and sunset when the sun is over the meridian, ie due south in the northern hemisphere or due north in the southern hemisphere.
		Recall that the analemma is the pattern by which the noon location of the sun varies.

	Upcoming Berkeley Cosmology Group Seminars and Meetings
		I will touch on a number of areas in cosmology: measuring the expansion rate of the universe or Hubble constant, the amount of mass in the universe (ordinary and dark), and the cosmological constant or dark energy component, that is causing the universe to speed up its expansion.
		Recent measurements have led to a concordance model in cosmology, with a universe that has a Hubble constant of 72 kilometers/second/Megaparsec, and which is geometrically flat, with one third of the matter-energy density in matter, and two thirds in attributed to a dark energy component.
		Unlike many humans, these structures in the universe have been able to hide their obesity because the excess weight is in the form of dark matter, which does not emit any detectable radiation.

		It is inherent in Thales's hypotheses that water had the potentiality to change to the myriad things of which the universe is made, the botanical, physiological, meteorological and geological states.
		Thales never invoked a power that was not present in nature itself, because he believed that he had recognized a force which underpinned the events of nature.

		Unlike the 15 satellites of Uranus known previously, the two new satellites are relatively far from the planet and move in orbits that are not in the plane of the planet's equator.
		If the average density of the universe were relatively large, then such clusters in the early universe should have continued to accumulate mass and massive clusters should be common in the present-day universe (that is, in the nearby universe).
		This implies that the average density of the universe is low --- and in particular, that the average density is less than the critical density.

		The large-scale polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background measured by WMAP imply a reionization redshift of 10-20.
		However, the extent of the ionized regions around the highest redshift quasars indicate a significantly neutral universe at a redshift of 6.4.
		I will summarize the status of current observational and theoretical studies, and address the possibility that the time evolution of the mean ionization fraction might have been non-monotonic.
