Our Universe and we

Universe is defined as the totality of everything that exists in the world. Universe includes all the subject matter present around us. The subject matter includes planets, stars, physical matter and energy that surround us. The term universe is also used for bodies like nature, cosmos. The universe is very enormous. The solar system comprises of nine planets which are in the shape of concentric circles. Our universe is infinite and has been growing in size continuously. The concentric circles are of finite sizes and these planets have their orbits rotating around the planet. There are many heavenly bodies and cosmologies that are present in our universe.

There are billions and billions of stars that one sees up in the sky. These are called the Milky Way and there are many other galaxies that exist around it. There have been several other kinds of radiations like the red shift which is present in the universe. The size of our universe has expanded because of certain cosmic inflation. This cosmic inflation affects diverse kinds of forces.  National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been making numerous researches to help us know more about our universe.  Many of these researches highlight the fact that the universe is expanding day by day. The observations made in the recent years show that the reason for expansion can be attributed to the dark energy present in the atmosphere. Dark energy is responsible for the inflation in the universe.

The astronomical observations show that the age of the universe is more than 13.75 billion years and their diameters have expanded by leaps and bounds over the past few years. The scientists and researchers have expressed the fact the space is expanding at faster rate as compared to the speed of light. It has now become very difficult to indicate the size of universe as it is not very easy to measure it.

Space and Universe

What is the difference between space and universe? It seems to be a very difficult question to answer and even understand the difference between them. Space is considered to be wider as compared to the universe. There have been many people who have expressed their thoughts on space and universe. The universe is believed to have born with a big bang which is referred to as a dense point. It just cannot be counted as to how old our universe is. The universe has been expanding gradually and this expansion is faster even than the speed of light. The universe has almost doubled in its size and is 100 times bigger now than what is was before. This burst of expansion is called as inflation. After the inflation the universe grew at a slower rate. This led to the expansion in the space. As a matter of fact the universe began to cool and matter was formed.

The universe is filled with a number of objects which are named as photons, electrons, protons, neutrons and anti-electrons. The universe was very hot. This heat resulted in breaking smashed atoms with huge forces. These broken pieces scattered all around the universe. They became dense just like the fog. It took more than three lakh years for the matter to cool down and atoms to form. There was a new form of energy discovered known as dark energy which characterized the universe. The universe began to slow down gradually when the dark energy was discovered. This phenomenon gave birth to the solar system. Then there were stars, galaxies and many other objects discovered in the space.

Space and universe is a very wide and interesting concept to study. There are many heavenly bodies that our universe comprises of. One can go on and on exploring them and learning. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been exploring such bodies and launching new programs.
