MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE

 

MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE:

1.     DARK MATTER (The spiders web).: Planets, stars, Galaxies make up less than 5% of the universe. Scientists think that about 25% of the universe is covered by black matter. We cannot see it, but we are sure that it exists because of its gravity. Some think that the dark matter is composed of some undiscovered particle or particles, others believe it as an undiscovered property of gravity. Dark Matter is a real puzzle.

2.     DARK ENERGY (The Poltergeist): This covers about 70% of the universe. This is powerful enough to tear the entire universe asunder. Dark Matter appears to mesh the galaxies together, while the Dark Energy seems to push everything apart. Scientists believe that the Dark Energy is responsible for the fast expanding universe. Some believe that it is produce due to the collision of the quantum particles, but no one knows it is true. 

3.     QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT (Spooky action):  According to Albert Einstein it is a phenomenon by which two different particles in totally different parts      of the universe can be linked to one another, mirroring the behavior and the state of their partner.  For particles to be connected across such vast distances, they must be sending signals to one another that travel faster than the speed of light. Because of its spooky characteristics, entanglement could eventually become the bedrock of next generation.

4.     ANTIMATTER – (THE EVIL TWINS): The sub atomic particles that make up everything around us – electrons, protons and neutrons – all have evil twins. Antimatter particles have the same mass as the normal particles but      have the opposite electric charge. When matter and antimatter meet there can be enormous destruction to each other liberating most powerful gama rays. Scientists are planning to create antimatter and to use the energy liberated by the reaction of matter and antimatter in running spacecrafts. How for it can be successful we have to watch and see. Most of the antimatter is getting destroyed at the center of the galaxy itself as matter                       is more than antimatter and hence antimatter cannot reach us. Hencee there is no danger to us from antimatter.                                                                                                   

5.     BLACK HOLES – (The massive monsters):  These are the regions of enormous gravitational pull so that anything around it can be drawn into it.               Not even light can escape. That is why we cannot see a black hole. There seems to be100 million black holes in our galaxy, MILKY Way. These are billions of times more massive than our Sun. At the center of each galaxy there lurks a super massive black hole.

6.     COSMIC RAYS - ( The ghostly visitors):  Cosmic rays are high energy         particles that come from outer space and regularly  bombard Earth. Our atmosphere protects us from cosmic rays. In the upper layers of stratosphere these layers can affect human beings as well as electrons. Astronauts and aircraft crew are more likely to be affected by these rays. Electronics are the more potential victims of cosmic rays. Very rarely a cosmic ray particle with enough energy can go straight into an electronic system causing damage to it. The high energy particles can disrupt electronic data, leading to system crashes. And in an increasing digital world it is not good news. The race is on to find solution.

7.     LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE: As for as our knowledge is concerned planet Earth is the only place where life is available. Bu the universe is unlimited. There are many stars like our Sun. Many such stars may have planets that are suitable for creation of life. Considering the size of the universe scientists believe that life exists at many places in the universe. Let us a nalyse the probability with the following assumptions.

1.     Rays of every star has inheriting nature to produce life under suitable conditions of any planet rotating around it or in any planet rotating around any star. 2. Intelligence of life is dependent on the distance between the star and the life generating planet. 3. Hence it is clear that a star generates superior life in the planets rotating around it only if the planet supports the life creating conditions such as water oxygen, suitable temperature etc. 4. Other inferior life on the same planet may  be  from the rays of other distant stars. 5.It can be concluded that every life giving rays of a star can produce life on every planet of any stat that supports life giving conditions. 6. From    the above argument it can be concluded places in the universe is equal to number of species in any one life supporting planet of any star.  7. When new light rays are coming to Earth for the first tome from long distant stars, new species are being formed on Earth. 8. Hence it can be concluded that life exists in unlimited places in the Universe. 9. In other exoplanets there may be inferior human life resembling animas with four legs but the head resembling partially that of a human with less intelligence. 10.This is only my understanding based on certain statistical analysis and the scientists have to support it in due course.

8.     SPACE ROAR – (The silent scream): Space is a vacuum. There should not be any noise. But we observe there is noise in the space known as space roar. The entire universe is alive with sound. And space roar is not everyday sound. It is actually these odd radio signals we have detected throughout space. We use these waves for communications in T V, cell phones, radios. At times these waves are loud enough to down other signals. This causes nuisance to scientists who explore cosmos. So wherefrom this roar comes? Some think it is leftover radiation from early stars. Others believe that it is due to gasses swirling around galaxy clusters, or else galaxies themselves. The roaring universe is still an unsolved mystery.

9.     THE BIG CRUNCH (The end of the universe):  As on today the Big Bang theory popular. According to yhis theory the universe is expanding. Dark energy which is about 70 % of the universe is causing expansion, while the dark matter which is about 25% is likely to cause contraction. Since dark energy is much more the expansion is continuing. There is simultaneously another force, which is gravitational pull towards the center of the universe that may cause contraction when it dominates over expanding force. This may take many billions of years. As on today there is overall expansion in the universe, but there are isolated stretches in the universe that are causing localized contractions. Assume a blasted balloon. Each broken piece of balloon is going away from the other piece. If you take individual piece it is contracting towards its center. The same thing is going on in the universe also. Certain sets of galaxies are contracting towards their center, while the set is going away from the other sets of galaxies. No one knows exactly the future of the universe. It is a mystery.

10.                          EXOPLANETS: These are the planet outside solar system revolving around another star. Just about 30 years ago scientists have no idea about these exoplanets. Now from research scientists believe that every star must be having at least one exoplanet. They are expected to be of different sizes varying from gas giants bigger than Jupiter up to rocky planets like Earth or even smaller than Earth. They may be very hot enough to boil metal or may be so cool up to the freezing point. There time of revolution around their stars may be very fast and may be equal to few Earth days. They can orbit two stars at once. Some exoplanets don’t orbit any star but they wander through galaxy in darkness. There may be conditions suitable for life in some exoplanets. For example, scientists discovered the most number of Earth sized planets in the habitable zone of a single star TRAPPIST-1. This system of seven rocky worlds, all of them with the potential of water on their surface – is an exciting discovery in search of life on exoplanets. There are other life supporting exoplanets also revolving around other stars.
