For over a century, our understanding of the universe has been shaped by Edwin Hubble’s discovery that galaxies are moving away from us. This gave birth to the widely accepted model that the universe is expanding. But a groundbreaking theory by Scientist Baldevkrishan Sharma asks us to go one step further: What if the universe isn’t just expanding—but growing like a living being?
This question is at the core of Sharma’s revolutionary theory called Natural Universe Expansion (NUE). Backed by more than 25 years of research at the Astrogenesis Research Foundation, the NUE theory introduces a living, time-sensitive model of the cosmos called the Living Organic Universe (LOU).
From Hubble to NUE: A Shift in Perspective
Hubble’s Law describes how galaxies are receding at speeds proportional to their distance. However, it fails to incorporate time as an evolving factor. Sharma identifies this as a major flaw. His NUE model replaces the static Hubble Constant with a new dynamic value called the Nu Constant, which reflects continuous, time-linked growth of all cosmic matter.
According to the NUE Law, not only is space expanding, but galaxies, stars, and even planets are physically growing—in mass, volume, and influence—while maintaining consistent density and temperature. This intrinsic, self-regulating behavior is one of the key features of living systems.
A Living Cosmos?
The NUE theory introduces the concept of the Living Organic Universe, which draws striking parallels between biological organisms and cosmic systems. Like living beings, the universe:
Grows continuously, not linearly but exponentially over time.
Maintains internal balance, such as temperature and density.
Emits radiation, similar to metabolic activity in organisms.
Possesses prenatal and postnatal development stages, described in detail in Chapter 8 of Sharma’s book.
This view doesn’t just enhance scientific curiosity—it reframes our place in the universe. If the cosmos is alive, humans aren’t just byproducts of randomness—we are integral elements within a growing cosmic organism.
No More Need for Dark Matter?
One of the most radical claims of NUE is that it eliminates the need for dark matter and dark energy. Where mainstream science uses these invisible forces to explain the accelerating universe, NUE attributes this acceleration to natural, organic growth. The theory has equations, observations, and real-world parallels—like the Moon’s recession and Earth’s rotation slow-down—to support its claims.
Why It Matters
For scientists, PhD students, and scholars in astrophysics and cosmology, the NUE theory opens up a new way to study the universe—one that’s more holistic, natural, and intuitive. It invites us to explore not just where the universe is going—but how and why it behaves like a living system.
This isn’t just science—it’s a cosmic awakening.
