problem with faster-than-light signaling is that it can generate time paradoxes. If a signal is able to reach into the past or future, then time order and causality are impossible to establish, and the result is immense confusion. Continuous creation cosmology resolves this dilemma by postulating that, while events can have a space-like separation in four dimensions, they have fully instantaneous connection in the fifth and higher dimensions. Because the entire four-dimensional cosmos is created whole at each instant, the flow of manifestation includes all lags and differentials in relativistic time. Due to full simultaneity, there is no time-forward or time-reversed signaling in the higher dimensions. There can be no “stand back” signaling because all times are complete at each instant.

Because the continuous creation hypothesis offers a wide range of insights, it seems to be a valuable addition to theories regarding the nature and evolution of the universe.

Patrick Johnsson, “New Research Opens a Window on the Minds of Plants,” Christian Science Monitor, March 3, 2005. “We now know there’s an ability of self-recognition in plants, which is highly unusual and quite extraordinary that it’s actually there,” says Dr. Trewavas. “But why has no one come to grips with it? Because the prevailing view of a plant, even among plant biologists, is that it’s a simple organism that grows reproducibly in a flower pot.” Another study shows that plants appear to have the ability to communicate through the atmosphere. There is “tangible proof that plant-to-plant communication occurs on the ecosystem level,” says the author of a study that discovered plants in a forest respond to stresses by producing significant amounts of a chemical form of aspirin. This results in the release of volatile organic compounds into the air that may help to activate an ecosystem-wide immune response to the stresses.
