Formation Of The Universe




 How did the universe start? How did millions of galaxies form? How did Nebula’s, stars, planets, black holes, everything we are talking about form? Honestly no one knows properly but what astronomers think happened 13.7 billion years ago the universe was hot and an enormous dense point which was a millimeter wide was what we called a supercharged black hole. The ball had so much matter in it that it could no longer hold and exploded violently known as the big bang. It was because of this explosion that energy, space, time, and matter were created.


Radiation era accounts for the few thousands of years of the universe. This is a short time period that's why it is divided into smaller stages called EPOCHS

. The first was the planc epic. Right now everything is small and it is close together, that’s why there is a lot of heat and there is no matter in the universe. There was only energy and superforce (Gravity, Strong nuclear, weak, electromagnetic) but in the end gravity split away from the superforce. Now comes the grand unification epoch in which the rest of the three remaining forces of nature of the superforce, because of this epoch, strong nuclear broke away. Now comes the inflationary epoch in which the universe started expanding. The universe at this time was very hot at that time. The came the electroweak epoch when weak and electromagnet also split off. During the Quark epoch all the elements were present but they were too hot and dense to form anything. Then in the hadron epoch the universe cooled down for the quarks to form neutrons and protons. Now in the last two epochs called the lepton and nuclear epoch the protons and neutrons changed significantly forming nuclei, and doing this it formed the first element Helium.


Now, we come to the matter era which is also known as the building blocks of the universe. This has three epochs lasting billions of years, including present day. First epoch is the atomic epoch. In this epoch the universe cooled down enough for electrons to reach the nuclei for the first time. This process is called recombination helping form the second element Hydrogen. Later in the Galactic epoch hydrogen and helium atoms formed atomic clouds all over the universe. Inside these clouds were pockets of gas which had enough gravity for atoms to collect, then these clusters of atoms became the seedlings of galaxies. Inside those galaxies stars began to form and in doing so it lined up the latest and the current stage of the universe development, stellar epoch. Then stars shaped the universe as we know it. There was a ripple effect in which the heat within the stars converted helium and hydrogen into all the other elements in the periodic table. Those elements were the building blocks of planets, moons, life, asteroids, basically everything we see today. 


It was because of the many stages of the universe that this was possible. Well, we still don’t know if this is true or not but it does solve most of the theories that are made by scientists. Science has so many unanswered questions that you can never be certain of what's right and what's not.

Exoplanets

  Exoplanets are the planets situated out of our solar system. Exoplanets are very interesting celestial bodies because they have similar characteristics to that of normal planets. They revolve around a parent star, have moons and could also have life on it. There are more than a trillion exoplanets, and many of them resemble Earth. All of these planets are very far away from us and therefore needed amazing inventions and a lot of technology before we could see them, though many scientists had predicted in the 20th century that there were planets outside our solar system. One launch which led us to a very interesting planetary system, was a telescope which was launched into the earth’s heliocentric orbit called Kepler space telescope. It was launched on 7th march 2009. It’s main purpose was to find celestial bodies which had earth-like characteristics.   What the Kepler telescope found was mind blowing. It found a planet called Kepler 62-e. Kepler 62-e is a planet also kn...

Black Holes

Black hole is one thing which scares me the most, because well black colour depicts fear and also black hole is one thing which no one has ever discovered, but we do know about black holes. Black holes are formed after a star has gone supernova. They either become neutron stars or become black holes. Then they become a region in space with immense gravity and even the fastest known object (Light) can’t escape it. The boundary of a black hole is called the event horizon, a point of no return, and beyond which we can’t see at all. When something crosses the event horizon it collapses in the black holes singularities, and then space, time, gravity or any other law of physics doesn't apply.  So, now lets see how a black hole is formed. Stars are incredibly massive collections of mostly hydrogen atoms that collapse from enormous gas clouds under their own gravity. In their core nuclear fusion crushes hydrogen atoms into helium liberating a lot of energy and heat. Then that energy in the...
