Conspiracy Corner – Harvard scientist claims he’s found ‘Heaven’─── 16:22 Wed, 21 Jan 2026
A Harvard-trained scientist claims that the edge of the observable universe – where time effectively stops – could be what religions describe as Heaven.
The scientist claims to have identified the location of Heaven based on modern science, and his idea, he asserts, aligns closely with the Biblical descriptions. The scientist argues that the universe’s cosmic horizon – a boundary so distant that light from beyond it can never reach us – may correspond to what religious traditions call Heaven.
According to him, the universe expands so rapidly that at a certain distance, time itself effectively stops. Because time doesn’t operate the same way beyond that point, he suggests this region fits descriptions of a timeless, spiritual realm.
He explains that, according to cosmology, the further away galaxies are, the faster they move away from Earth – a discovery first made by astronomer Edwin Hubble.
There comes a point so far out that objects are receding at the speed of light, forming the cosmic horizon. At that boundary and beyond, conventional physics breaks down, and time no longer flows in the way we experience it.

The scientist insists that this zone matches traditional ideas about Heaven – a place outside of normal space-time where spiritual beings might exist, and which mortal humans can’t reach.
He says his interpretation harmonises scientific principles with ancient religious descriptions, noting that this “beyond the cosmic horizon” region is inaccessible and timeless, much like how Heaven is portrayed in scripture.
Mainstream scientists, meanwhile, generally view the cosmic horizon as just a limit to what we can observe in the universe rather than evidence of a metaphysical realm.
But supporters of the idea argue it’s an intriguing way to draw connections between faith and cosmology – even if it remains speculative rather than proven.
