Our Universe is Way Bigger Then You Think | English

 

Our Universe is much bigger than you think!

This planet Earth is our home.  Where we all humanity exists.  Thousands of religions, all economies, heroes of nations, murderers of humanity, all kings, all the poor, who ever existed, who exist, all exist on this planet Earth.  Our earth is twenty billion trillion times the size of the common man. While our sun is a million times bigger than our earth, and 150 million kilometers from the earth, which is certainly a very long distance.

Size comparison between Sun and Earth

Alpha Centauri Star

Friends, the distance ahead of it are measured in light-years instead of kilometers or miles in space.  It is currently the fastest speed of light in the world.  And it travels at a rate of 300,000 kilometers per second.  This speed is so high that you can make seven revolutions around the earth in one second.  If we travel at the same speed of light continuously for a year, it is called a light-year.  Friends, the nearest star to the Sun is located 4.24 light-years away and its name is "Alpha Centauri".  And this star is five million times bigger than our sun.  How far this distance is, you can estimate it from the fact that if you drive your car at a speed of one hundred kilometers, from the earth to the star Alpha Centauri, you will have to travel from the total age of the universe to reach it, and It will also take six times longer.  And our universe is currently 13.7 billion years old.

Betelgeuse Star (Red Giant)

Alpha Centauri is followed by "Betelgeuse Star (Red Giant)".  It is 300 million times larger than our Sun, at a distance of 640 light-years from the Sun.

VY Canis Majoris Star (Red Hypergiant)

While this star is nothing, when we talk about the "VY Canis Majoris Star (Red Hypergiant)", which is a billion times larger than our Sun, and the largest star ever discovered.  This star is located 4,000 light-years away from our Sun.  Of course, this is an astonishing distance, but friends, the journey of the universe has not yet begun.

Galaxies

The galaxies in our universe are made up of billions, trillions of stars, planets, gas clouds, and black holes.  The galaxy we live in is called the Milky Way, and this galaxy contains more than three hundred billion suns like our own.  And how big our Milky Way galaxy is, you can guess from the fact that if we were riding on something that would move at the speed of light, it would take a million years to cross our galaxy.  Of course, this distance is enough to make the brain dizzy.  But our journey into space has just begun.

Our neighboring galaxy, called the "Andromeda Galaxy", is even larger than our Milky Way galaxy, and it is twice as big as our own galaxy, I mean as wide as 200,000 light-years.  But friends, this distance is nothing, because beyond that, the "M8 Galaxy" is sixty times larger than our galaxy.  Further, the "IC 1101 Galaxy" is 600 times larger than our own galaxy.

Clusters and Super Clusters

Friends, just as stars from galaxies, so do galaxies form "Clusters".  And the cluster in which our Milky Way galaxy is located has 54 galaxies in one cluster and is called a "local cluster".  But friends, the vastness of the universe does not end here.

Local Cluster

Clusters also combine to form "Super Clusters", and the super cluster in which we live is called the "Virgo Super Cluster", and there are about 100 clusters in this super cluster.  And the distance of this Virgo Super Cluster from one side to the other is 110 million light-years.

Virgo Super Cluster

The largest super cluster ever discovered is called the "Laniakea Super Cluster", which consists of 100,000 galaxies, with a distance of 520 million light-years from one side to the other.  While this is not the end of the story, the Laniakea Super Cluster looks even smaller than a grain of sand.

Laniakea Super Cluster

This is the part called "Observable Universe".  I mean the part of the universe we've discovered so far.  Friends, our universe is a collection of billions, trillions of superclusters, which appear to be just one point.  And show the greatness of their Creator(God).  According to scientific estimates, there are more than two trillion galaxies in our universe. Which contain more stars than the grains of sand on our planet.  The part of the universe that we have discovered so far is not even a thousandth of a percent, but you can estimate how much it is in such a way that the distance between each side of this observable universe is 47 Billion light-years.  This means that the length of one side is 93 billion light-years.  Remember that this is the part that has been discovered so far.  But what is beyond that, we humans do not know or may never know, because the light will take time is the equal total age of our earth to reach our earth far from the observable universe. Therefore, this is not possible in any case.

Observable Universe

And second, our universe is expanding every moment, so the distance we think of as a light-year today would have doubled in a second.  The universe beyond the Observable Universe may be beyond our comprehension.  According to the "Theory of Cosmic Inflation" presented by Dr. Allen, our actual universe is 150 sextillion times larger than the current discovered universe.  Let's see how much it is through an example.  Suppose we consider a light bulb to be an observable universe, but according to this theory, the real universe may be larger than Pluto.  Only time will tell how vast our universe is and what more humanity will discover in the times to come.  This great universe reflects the greatness of its Creator, and He is the One and Only God.  As stated in the Holy Qur'an.  "Blessed is the One in Whose hand is the dominion of the universe, and He has power over all things".Surah Al-Mulk verse 1.  Friends, the universe that God has created is so great, how great is God Himself.  On the Day of Judgment(Qayamat), the earth, the sky, and the universe will be in the palm of Allah's hand, and this is the true meaning of "Allahu Akbar".
