Hi there viewer,

 I want to ask you some questions. I want to know what are your views of the universe. Here are some questions that might help you to answer the question above: What is the universe? This philosophical question talks about your vision of the universe. Is it beautiful? Is it wonderful? Is it horrible? What does it mean to you? Questions like these are helpful for me to understand what others think about it. It helps me realize how others take the vision of the universe into their own hands.

 Another question I want to know is that do you think there is life somewhere else in the universe. This question talks about whether or not there is life anywhere else. These questions may help you to answer the question: Is it possible? Could there be life? Is it possible to find life on Mars or on Titan (largest moon of Saturn and has a very thick atmosphere)? Is there life maybe in the solar system? Could it be possible to find life on an exoplanet (a planet that resolves around other stars and not the Sun) or a moon of an exoplanet? This question helps me understand whether or not people believe there could be life somewhere else. It also helps me realize that people may think about life and maybe traveling to that place to see life.

Another question is that do you think that black holes are real? This question might surprise you, but many people do not think it is true as there have been no photographs of it, but others do think it is true. It was hypothesized by Albert Einstein in his Theory of Relativity and was helped by Karl Schwarzschild. For this question you might want to think the following: What is a black hole? Is it possible to find? Could it be possible to take a picture of a black hole as it does not allow light to pass through it? This question will help me realize what people think of black holes and it will also help me understand the thoughts of others about the black hole.

   My fourth question to you is it possible to reach the speed of light? The speed of light is approximately 300,000,000 m/s (186,000 mi/s)! Also, no physical object can surpass this limit. This may seem fast, but in space it is a bit slow. For example, it takes 8 minutes for the Sun's light to reach Earth, and it takes 4.2 years for the light of Proxima Centauri(the nearest star) to reach the Earth. This may be slow, but to others this may be fast. To help you answer the question you might want to answer the following: Do we have the materials? What is the type of power source we could be using to reach this speed? Could it be done in the future? This question helps me understand if people believe it is possible to reach that speed and it will help me realize that people maybe thinking about space travel.

 My final question for you is that could there be wormholes? Wormholes allow you to travel somewhere instantaneously to another place and if you go inside one, you might go faster than the speed of light! This might take you to another universe. Many people think that wormholes are actually found in black holes and exit through white holes(opposite of a black hole). Another theory might be that there is a separate hole that allows you to see the other side. To answer this question, you might want to answer these questions: What are wormholes to begin with? Is there some evidence? Could it be made somewhere else? Could it be made? Could it be possible? This question will help me understand what others think about it and  it will help me realize whether or not people believe in wormholes.

Chemistry of the Rocket Fuel

Image
      Rockets are one of the ways that help explore space. Rockets allow people to launch satellites, and some of those satellites are engineered to help explore space. Without rockets, it would be very hard to understand space since the satellites that are out in space produce much more accurate and precise information. For example, the Kepler Space Telescope(a satellite that explores planets in different places around the galaxy) was able to gain lots of data on exoplanets. The observatories on Earth are not able to use such accuracy as Kepler Space Telescope. Without rockets, satellites like these can not be launched into space. This post will be about how the physics and chemistry of rockets(this will be oversimplified because rocket science is a very complicated topic).  First, let's start off with the chemistry of rockets. There are different types of rockets, but for now, we will be talking about liquid fuel rockets. In rockets, there are many different typ...

How the Universe Will End

Image
The Universe is currently expanding at around 150,000 miles per hour(240,000 kilometers per hour). At some point in time, the universe will end maybe due to this. Scientists have 4 theories about how the universe will end. The four theories are Big Crunch, Big Freeze, Big Rip, Big Bounce. Big Crunch How the Big Crunch Theory works As the name suggests, in this theory the universe will collapse on its self.  In the universe, there is a theoretical object called "Dark Energy". This is what is making the universe expand at such a rapid rate. In the Big Crunch theory, the gravitational attraction of the objects within the universe will overcome Dark Energy and the universe will start decreasing in size until it reaches the point where the universe will collapse. Big Rip In this theory, the universe would reach the point where it has reached the maximum expansion. This is the distance where the universe has fully expanded. If the universe continues to expand beyon...

Space Travel

Space travel is very important in the future. It will allow the human race to survive in the future when the time comes when Earth is no longer useful to human beings. Space travel would allow humans to colonize more land and even communicate with other lifeforms that may live in this galaxy. In space travel, you must have some type of fuel that will allow you to reach very high speeds(i.e 50% speed of light). So for this, you might want to use the energy produced by nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is when atoms collide into each other under very high pressure. This would create enough fuel for you to reach very high speeds. Although you have the fuel you need to go at high speeds, you can also use the planets. The gas giants have an immense gravitational pull and you can exploit this by maneuvering your rocket around, for example, Jupiter. This will allow you to gain more speed after you exit the gravitational pull of Jupiter. This technique has been used by previous satellites(i.e ...
