PARALLEL UNIVERSES

IS THERE ANOTHER "YOU" IN OTHER WORLDS?

-lanilane ocbina

Ever heard of the theory about PARALLEL UNIVERSE?

Princeton University, 1954- Hugh Everett III, a doctoral candidate initialized a radical idea that there are other universes that are of the same compositions and individualities as that of our own universe. He implied that there is another solar system, another earth, and another "you" somewhere far from the universe that we believed to be the only one made by God.

Now the question is: Is it true that parallel universes exist?

A lot of theories in physics and math impose evidences that supports this possibility. This is truly mind bogging for some but for most of us, this theory is more than interesting.

For whatever Everett theorized with his "Many worlds theory" or what Copenhagen explained with his own theories, or what Japanese-American Kaku’s supporting ideas with his "String theory",only God knows the truth. And we all have no right to question nor claim about the truth.

Let us live our lives to the fullest, while appreciating God’s works. Let’s not waste time looking for other worlds because we have our own world that needs our full attention. Let’s build this dying world instead of searching for another one that will soon be ruined too.

ASTRONOMY

IS THIS THE END OF OUR GALAXY?

What’s the truth about the siting of a giant cloud that is imminently crashing into our galaxy?

A gas cloud that is million times heavier than our Sun is hurtling straight to our Milky way. However, we should somehow not fear for it is set to trigger stellar fireworks after a collision 20 to 40 million years from now. Perhpas a lot of changes will be brought about and if God permits, our galaxy and our world will last even for billions of years more.

The cloud’s composition is mostly hydrogen gas. It is 11,000 light years long and 2500 light years wide. This is amazingly as large as a dwarf galaxy. This large cloud was discovered 44 years ago. Based on its motion, the cloud may hit a region about a quarter way around the galaxy from the sun, which is some light years away from the PErseus arm of our galaxy.

The gas cloud threatens big impacts to any inhabited solar systems. This will probably bring our Earth to its end. Armageddon, will be it.

Facts like these often bring us to a notion that the second coming is near. Whatever are our individual positions about this, we should be ready..

SOLAR SYSTEM

EXPERIENCE THE CLOSEST ENCOUNTER WITH THE LARGEST ASTERIOD OR WAIT AGAIN FOR 22 YEARS!

You should not miss the closest approach of the largest asteroid, which came near the Earth in more than 20 years. The asteriod will make its closest approach on Tuesday, venturing as close as about 1.4 times the distance to the moon.

The asteroid was named 2007 TU24. It was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona US last October 11, 2007. The first radar observations tell that this asteroid was formed from two individual asteroids that fell together and stuck. Astronomers estimated that the asteroid is 150 and 600 meters wide. However, this measurement is not yet confirmed as the rock is too far away for ground-based telescopes.

LATEST SUPERNOVA SITINGS

Danish astronomer TYcho Brahe has launched his career through an account of a dazzling stellar explosion as bright as VEnus. Later on, his account has turned out to be our Milky way’s supernova!

A team of astronomers today observed the same explosion long after the dying star fizzled out. They did it by the measure,emt of "light echoes", which refers to the light from the original explosion that has reflected off interstellar dust, heading in our direction. The astronomers have also seen faint reflected flashes from Cassiopeia A, which is the most recent supernova known within our galaxy.
