Former Harvard physicist suggests heaven may lie beyond the cosmic horizon

Michael Guillen, a former physics professor at Harvard University, has suggested that the heaven described in the Bible could lie beyond the cosmic horizon — the boundary of the observable universe.

He said his reasoning is based on Edwin Hubble’s law of the expansion of the universe and Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. According to Guillen, beyond the cosmic horizon objects recede at the speed of light, time effectively comes to a halt, and space exists outside the conventional concepts of past, present, and future.

Guillen argues that these characteristics resemble biblical descriptions of heaven as a realm beyond the material universe, inaccessible to mortals and not governed by the known laws of space and time.
