Essays on Universe

The claim that our universe began, and did not always exist, brings enormous challenges to scientists who do not believe that the universe was created by God.Are scientists part of the Big Bang theory? Yes. In the late 1920s, astronomer Edwin Hubble saw through his...

We live in a determinate expanding universe which has not existed forever, and that all the matter, energy and space in the universe was once squeezed into an infinitesimally small volume, which erupted in a cataclysmic “explosion” which has become known as the Big Bang...

What if there was no sun? What if there were no stars? What would we do? We would not be able to exist because there would be no sunlight to grow crops. The Life Cycle Of A Star Astronomers have always looked at the stars....

Sometimes it really scares me to realise just how small we really are in this vast universe. To this day, I still dream about being in the outer space and seeing our world from above and having that moment of pure awe takes my breath...

Billion years ago, there was an extra-ordinary event without which nothing would exist. It was the beginning of the universe. It was the time when a large amount of energy in an infinitely small space violently expanded and led to the creation of universe and...

Scientists believe the Universe began in a hot ‘big bang’ about 13,600 million years ago. The Universe continues to expand today. The evidence for the Big Bang theory includes the existence of a microwave background radiation, and red-shift. Stars do not remain the same, but...

There are four types of black holes and it all depends on their masses to differentiate between them. The first type is called a Primordial black hole. A Primordial black hole is the smallest compared to the other three types of black holes. As Primordial...

It’s an existential question most of us have probably pondered at some point: is space infinite? It’s tricky to answer because there’s not just one kind of infinity to consider. Even if the universe goes on forever, it may not be infinitely large. It could...

No matter how far along you are in your sophistication as an amateur astronomer, there is always one fundamental moment that we all go back to. That is that very first moment that we went out where you could really see the cosmos well and...

Our Exoplanets is a site about the exoplanets that we think are very interesting, such as Kelt-9B, or GJ 1214B. These planets are very different from Earth and are extremely strange. Now we are only doing some of the exoplanets because there is way too...

What is the big bang theory? Well, it’s more of a half built theory to give atheists something to believe in. So then why believe in it then? We believe in it because then scientific education system is ever changing it really shouldn’t be taught...

Mankind has always reached for the “stars” and the moon and its now Mars. The stars are exploding balls of gas like the sun and cannot be landed on. Man went to the moon in 1969, and from that mission has learned how to live...

To think that we are the only living things in the universe is quite absurd. The Universe is made of ninety-one billion light years and we have only discovered four percent and the rest is just dark matter. The idea that out of the ninety-six...

As researched it would only be wise to move to another planet. Talk has been around and information available that Mars is the closest most habitable planet after Earth. They have many similarities such as similar atmospheric gases or land mass which would make Mars...

In this piece, Nozick proposes the idea of multiple fictional universes within one another. This means that the author who created one fictional universe is actually a character in another fictional universe whose author is also a character, and so on. This concept is similar...

On 10 April, this year scientists were finally able to do the unthinkable: they allowed humanity to look straight into the abyss of a super-massive black hole and take a photo like it’s some kind of tourist attraction! Today it turns out, that even after...

Sir Isaac Newton once said, “About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the Prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition”. Religion is a big...

A new study shows that aliens exist, and they have already visited our planet! Scientists say the reason we have not seen them yet is because they have not visited in a long time (10 million years). Originally published in The Astronomical Journal, the study...
