The Universe

[Binary_Bark]

​

What is the Universe? That is one immensely loaded question! No matter what angle one took to answer that question, one could spend years answering that question and still barely scratch the surface. In terms of time and space, it is unfathomably large (and possibly even infinite) and incredibly old by human standards. Describing it in detail is therefore a monumental task. But we here at Universe Today are determined to try!

So what is the Universe? Well, the short answer is that it is the sum total of all existence. It is the entirety of time, space, matter and energy that began expanding some 13.8 billion years ago and has continued to expand ever since. No one is entirely certain how extensive the Universe truly is, and no one is entirely sure how it will all end. But ongoing research and study has taught us a great deal in the course of human history.

Definition:
The term “the Universe” is derived from the Latin word “universum”, which was used by Roman statesman Cicero and later Roman authors to refer to the world and the cosmos as they knew it. This consisted of the Earth and all living creatures that dwelt therein, as well as the Moon, the Sun, the then-known planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) and the stars.

Yeah. Fiat lux. Because we all know Yaweh only created in Latin.

Interesting that time is contained in the definition. What time is, also needs a definition as it influenced by massive gravitational forces and hence ties with matter (and thus subordinate to creation). This alone proves that the building blocks of reality are more than the materialistic elements (subatomic particles) whether viewed as matter or energy.

Reading this blog reminds me of a recent Tweet by Andrew Rader:

There are ~400 million stars born somewhere in the Universe every day, or 4,800 per second: roughly 1000X the rate of people born on Earth.
