For decades, cosmologists have debated the nature of the Universe’s expansion. Is it linear? Is it constant? Does it require dark matter or dark energy? But a pioneering theory—Natural Universe Expansion (NUE)—by Indian scientist Baldevkrishan Sharma proposes a far more radical view: the Universe is not just expanding, it’s alive and growing organically, just like a living being.
This model is called the Living Organic Universe (LOU). According to Sharma’s work, presented after over 25 years of dedicated research at the Astrogenesis Research Foundation, the Universe doesn’t expand through hypothetical forces—it grows through intrinsic, natural laws built into the very matter of the cosmos.
At the heart of this theory lies the Nu Constant, a time-integrated replacement for the traditional Hubble Constant. Unlike Hubble’s Law, which fails to explain the acceleration of cosmic bodies without invoking dark energy, the NUE Law offers a natural, mathematical framework for continuous, compounding cosmic growth. It postulates that all celestial bodies—from galaxies to atoms—expand over time while maintaining constant density and temperature.
In Chapter 8 of the book Natural Universe Expansion, Sharma outlines the prenatal and postnatal “birth” process of the Universe, mirroring biological development. He writes that cosmic radiation, mass increase, and structural complexity are signs not just of mechanical behavior but of organic vitality. This living model of the Universe directly correlates with observable features such as Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR), planetary recession, and the expansion of space without needing dark matter or energy.
Importantly, the LOU Model aligns cosmic expansion with human biological principles. The Universe, like an organism, has internal regulation, equilibrium, and growth cycles. The Earth is not just part of the Universe—it is genetically integrated with it, suggesting a shared cosmic blueprint. Sharma even raises philosophical questions about the gender of celestial bodies and whether Earth itself could “procreate,” echoing reproductive mechanisms found in biology.
This theory opens new doors for astrophysics and quantum cosmology. It provides answers to unresolved questions: Why do galaxies accelerate? Why do cosmic bodies grow yet maintain form? Why do celestial ratios remain stable over eons?
The implications for research are profound. Cosmologists and physicists are encouraged to test the Nu Constant against real astronomical data, verify expansion rates, and explore NUE’s impact on gravitational theories, tectonic models, and atomic structures.
For those seeking to break away from conventional cosmology and venture into an era of integrative, life-inspired cosmic theory, Sharma’s work offers a powerful new lens.
