Cosmos & Astronomical Pulses in Time: Paired Literary–Scientific Visions — Galaxies, Planets & Life

What if the afterlife began not with answers, but with the birth of a universe? Zoe and Tod step through a tunnel of light—and into a cosmos still forming. What begins as a luminous passage becomes a plunge into quantum un-time, elemental encounters, and the explosive unfolding of galaxies. As they travel through astronomical pulses of time, they are not merely observers but participants: becoming a star, torn apart by a black hole, and reborn as planetary forces—magnetic core and mineral sky. At every scale—atomic, stellar, or human—the question pulses: what does it mean to become? Alongside this epic journey is a novel scientific model that charts the universe's evolution not as a smooth continuum, but as a series of logarithmic pulses—thresholds of increasing complexity that mark deep structure in time. Five major nodes are mapped: from the speculative quantum matrix before the Big Bang (32 Gya), to the birth of galaxies (16 Gya), interactive planets (8 Gya), the emergence of life (4 Gya), and the rise of eukaryotic complexity (2 Gya). Each node marks a leap—cosmic, chemical, or biological. Together, these parallel narratives reveal a cosmos not simply expanding, but unfolding in rhythm—where love, light, and transformation shape both story and structure. Cosmos & Astronomical Pulses in Time invites readers into a uniquely paired vision—where the poetic and the empirical speak in harmony, and where the mystery of time becomes a gateway to meaning.
