The theories about universe expanding
The modern
science says that universe is expanding which means that there are no edges
somewhere where universe would end. The entire concept of infinite universe is
not that easy to imagine because one could always ask himself if there's no
actual border then how could universe really expand itself and why is this happening.
No, the universe
isn't expanding in a futile attempt to run away from Chuck Norris though this
is also a very interesting concept . What we need to know about the expanding
universe concept is that it primarily refers to expansion into space with no
structures such as extra dimensions or an exterior universe
The modern
theory about expanding universe originates from astronomer Edwin Hubble. After
countless measuring of relative distances between stars and other space bodies
he found the explanation of expanding universe as the only logical answer to accept.
To accept
the fact that universe is constantly expanding means also accepting the fact
that universe used to be smaller. This means that after the Big Bang universe
started the process of constant expansion with no end in sight.
This also means that our universe isn't in
static state but is instead in the state of constant change – constant expansion
of our universe.
The
expansion of universe is also connected with its density. The matter in
universe doesn't have the necessary density that would somehow slow down the
expansion of universe which helps explain its constant expansion and the fact
that expansion speed decreases more slowly with time.
Some
scientists believe that our universe is finite. The finite universe doesn't
necessarily imply edges, it rather implies that the space wraps around on
itself. Eventually, under the finite theory the universe would likely
recollapse on itself, possibly resulting in yet another big bang and the birth
of brand new universe.
The universe
expansion issue is still connected with plenty of hypothetical assumptions.
Everybody with a basic knowledge about universe can theorize about it. The
theory is all we have at this moment because mankind is yet to assemble „the
starship Enterprise“ in search for answers at the final frontier.
