Wormholes

  In today's blog, I'm going to take you to another mind-bending theory of physics i.e." wormholes". It is a passage through the space-time continuum that could create a quicker route for long journeys across the universe. Basically, it is a shortcut that connects extremely long distances such as a billion light-years or more ( different location, or different points in time, or both ).  For instance, take a blanket you've worn. Assume it as spacetime, take the two opposite ends of the blanket and place one over the other. GreatπŸ‘ your wormhole is ready. You have created a shortcut between two far ends of the blanket.  Einstein- Rosen bridge   Physicist Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen used the theory of general relativity in 1935 to suggest that 'bridges' or 'wormholes ' may exist that connect two different points in space and time, creating a shortcut, reducing the traveling time and distance, but only in theory.

BIG BANG ~ a beginning of Time

  AND TIME BEGINS... Our universe is the sum of the total of all existence. It is the time, space, matter, and energy in totality that began expanding some 13.8billion years ago has continued to do so ever since. The question of how our universe began had always been controversial. Nowadays, the widely accepted theory of the birth of our universe is "the big bang". Big bang explains how the universe expanded from an initial state of extremely high density and high temperature. The single super-concentrated point which later became the universe before the big bang was called the "primeval atom" or the "cosmic egg" ~ singularity. After its initial expansion, the universe cooled sufficiently to allow the formation of subatomic particles, and later atoms. Giant clouds of these primordial elements - mostly hydrogen, with some helium and lithium - later coalesced through gravity., forming early stars and galaxies, the descendants of which are visible today. Cont...
