Star Dust - The Big Bang Theory

We are here in earth living a beautiful life, busy in our works, fuelling our needs, fulfilling our dreams and so on. Have we ever thought were did it all start from? The past lies in mystery. What about our destiny? The future is a suspense!

Are we aware of our surroundings? how big is the universe? Infinity raised to the power infinity is the conclusion we give! Earth supports life but why not other planets, similar kind of questions always conquer our mind! Let's try to defeat the conqueror with a theory "The big bang theory".

Within an atom:


It is believed that all of the universe was once within a size of an atom “The hydrogen atom”. Hydrogen is the mother of all elements in our periodic table. Due to undefined reason the atom exploded. Before proceeding further let’s understand the basic constituent.

Energy is everything:


A detailed study about an atom defines the universe. Atom is nothing but a collection of energy.

Just observe the similarity between the structure of atom and the universe. Atom has a nucleus the hub of energy around which electrons revolve compare this to our solar system our nucleus, sun is the hub of energy around which electrons the planets revolve in an orbit. 

Tiniest to the tiny particle is nothing other than energy, every thing is composed of atoms which mean energy within. Universe is nothing other than a masses of energy which formed from an undefined explosion.

A concentrated favour:


All the planets are collections of dust from the big bang, a burning bowl of energy. One thing happened with earth which didn't happen with the others was the collection of required conditions. Earth was once having no atmosphere it had burns here and there, volcano were erupting everywhere and earth was rotating at high speed. 

Then a mars sized meteor collapsed with the earth which formed the moon which helped as a companion to mould our earth into a hub for life.

The moon:


Its difficult to ignore the beauty of our companion but do you know moon is a child of earth which was formed from a collision. Moon acquires an important role in the evolution of life on earth it helped to slow down the rotational speed which constricted our day and night within 24 hours. 

It was tidally locked with earth, this influenced the tides on earth’s seas.

The gases:


All the erupting volcano produced gases which contained oxygen (this was formed in the coarse time by the combination of several hydrogen atoms at different high temperatures) excess oxygen in the collected gases caused rain which went on as a cycle this caused natural atmosphere further to oceans to bacteria to organisms to aquatic animals to amphibians to dinosaurs to chimpanzees to humans.

The gravitational field:


Gravity plays an important role on every planet, without gravity nothing can be stable, but how did this attracting field start?

Thanks to the composition of our planet, our planet had iron contained which was deposited for years through the volcanic flows this created an attractive field around it, it’s the gravitational field. 

The thin top most layer cooled to form the crust but still our core has active high temperature molten metal flowing down there.

Rusted iron:


As the core contained iron as a maximum content later formation of oxygen got in contact of iron which formed rust pile as mountains.

Un-destroyable is energy:


Ages is going on changing once a living matter looses its life it gives back its energy to the provider the earth, this follows the famous rule
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, just transferred from one body to the other”
This mean that we all are just packets of energy which is uncertain, if collapsed are going to be moulded into another form. Example- Consider a tree which stands still during its lifetime giving home to numerous creatures of stardust. 

Fuelling itself through its energy produced but once dead it goes back to the core and get stored as coal, still into some other form of energy.

Dinosaurs once lived but now they are extinct, we currently live but the future is uncertain!

Always remember that we are nothing other than dust “The star dust”, just a particle consuming a very little energy and covering a millimetre-square of space compared to the vast unstoppable growing universe composing of centillion (10^303) other dust particles.
