  • The Big Bounce Theory.

    Every one of us knows that our universe was born after the Big Bang, but do you think that the fate of universe was a little bit different from our perception? Maybe and maybe not. So, my friends, let us get try to explore the birth of our universe, which was probably the end of another universe. But here we will look at a complete different theory. THE BIG BOUNCE THEORY.

  • The life cycle of a star.

    Since childhood, we all love the song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars. But how are these not so little stars formed? If you want to know the answer, then you are at the right place. If you are in a hurry then you can go through this map or you can read the full article to get brief information.

  • There is nothing like a true black hole| Dr. Abhas Kumar Mitra.

    Black holes are known to majority of people. Each individual gets really fascinated upon thinking about what lies inside this black giant. We know that we cannot see black holes since they reflect no light, but scientists have been trying to detect them by studying the behavior of the objects around them. On 10th April, 2019, scientists revealed the first ever image of a black hole.But was it really a picture of a true black hole?

  • In these many ways can our universe end

    Suppose you're enjoying your life in an isolated island with all the comfort and everything ends abruptly! You have no where to go in the universe! No place left in the universe! And no universe to live in!.

  • Death of a Black Hole

    Before you come to any conclusion, just take a note that you cannot destroy a black hole. But probably that black giant is waiting for you somewhere out in the universe, so be equipped to fight them. On a serious note, is it really possible for a black hole to evaporate or even get destroyed? Why is it even necessary?

The Big Bounce Theory

Every one of us knows that our universe was born after the Big Bang, but do you think that the fate of universe was a little bit different from our perception?

Maybe and maybe not.

So, my friends, let us try to explore the birth of our universe, which was probably the end of another universe.

Here, we will look at a completely different theory. THE BIG BOUNCE THEORY.

WHAT'S THIS NEW BIG B? 

This theory is based on Quantum mechanics. It states that the big bang, which was the beginning of our universe, was the end for another universe which existed before ours came into being.

You may ask that how is it possible! Another universe! 

Yes, it is possible, but everyone needs an explanation, so let's understand it.

The big bounce theory simply says that our universe goes through expansion and contraction and so on.

Hold on! we will see the procedure later in this article.

Well, big bang says that the universe started from a singularity(a point in space with infinite density, zero volume and which is extremely hot), but big bounce says that singularities do not exist! You may like to read this article to know more about, why singularities cannot exist.

BIG BOUNCE VS BIG BANG.


BIG BANG



BIG BOUNCE












Big bang says that our universe was born from a singularity. All the mass was compresses to a single point with zero volume. 

That point expanded decreasing the temperature and creating our universe.

But quantum mechanics says that when the universe was so small, it must have been ruled by micro particles, but quantum physics will not allow the particles to compress to an infinitely dense point(singularity).

But the particles are allowed to be compressed and have finite density and this place will be very hot.

This also means that there was a universe before ours which compressed into such a dense point and later created our universe.

THE CONTRACTION.

We understood the big bounce theory, but why will our universe or the one before ours contract? 

For expansion the universe requires a special energy and when this energy will be exhausted, a new force will dominate which will cause the contraction and when it will have enough energy, it will start to expand again. 
The energy we are talking about is heat which will be produced due to high density.


This theory is also very interesting as the big bang, but it raises many new questions.

If big bang was not the beginning then, how did this all start?

There are many other questions yet to be answered. 

The unseen is yet to be answered.

 LET'S BEGIN!

HOW IS A STAR BORN?

Stars are born just like any other mammal. OK! I am sorry.

So, what actually leads to the formation of stars? A one word answer is DUST. Since you all are my curious fellows, I will surely give my 100% to explain it in the easiest way possible.

A star is formed from an extremely dense cloud of dust and gas and these clouds are called nebula. The dust particles move very slowly and when this happens, the gravitational force starts to dominate.

They come closer to each other and stick to each other. The temperature of the core becomes extremely high until it reaches several billion degrees Celsius which provide particles with excess of kinetic energy. Thus, they start to collide with each other vigorously.
 
BOOM! We have successfully created a BABY star. 

The life of a star totally depends upon its size from its birth.

A NORMAL DAY FOR ANY STAR.

The vigorous collisions cause a phenomenon, in the core, namely nuclear fusion.

Primarily, hydrogen atoms take part in nuclear fusion to form Helium atoms. This phenomenon produces a tremendous amount of energy and this energy comes counters the collapse due to gravity furthermore.

After millions or billions of years, when the stars will run out of hydrogen, they will start to fuse helium to form other heavier elements. The fusion of heavier elements produce a huge amount of energy that now it starts to dominate the gravitational collapse.

Thus the star will start to increase in size and form into a red giant.

This is the beginning of the end of stars.

Let us classify them as-
     Normal stars
·       Big stars
·       Extremely big stars

Let us see, how different sizes of stars have different stories to tell about their end.

NORMAL STARS.
These stars have the longest life span among all the other stars. Let see what happens next in their story.


RED DWARFS

Basically, there are stars, the Red Dwarfs, which are smaller than the sun, near to the size of Jupiter. They simply burn for their whole life and when they run out of the energy source, they form the White dwarfs.
There are also brown dwarfs, they have a very little hydrogen to fuse and they die very soon.

For now, you just understand that a White dwarf is a star’s corpse. They are extremely dense and are extremely hot. This is because; the heat is trapped inside them and has nowhere to go in the space. So, it will take many millions of years for them to cool down.

But what will happen to the stars like the Sun?!

YELLOW DWARFS

Well, even our Sun will one day form into a white dwarf, but it has another story to tell. Stars like our sun will form a red giant. 

Just a reminder for you all; when the Sun becomes a Red giant it will engulf earth in itself. There is no need to thank me for making you aware of this.

Now, as the Sun will grow bigger, its outer surface will go farther away from its core. Gradually, this star will start to lose its material to outer space, since its gravitational force will be negligible. Slowly these materials will leave the star's surface and they will form something called planetary nebula.

But, that star’s core will be left all alone. A white dwarf.

But what happens with the white dwarf?

When the heat trapped in it will completely extinguish, then they will form into a black dwarf. Please note that they are not the Black holes. These black dwarfs will evaporate if and only if protons decay.

BIG STARS.

When these stars run out of hydrogen atoms, they fuse much heavier elements and their size grow extremely big. 

Their energy source comes to an end when their core stars to fuse iron. At this time, the energy produced can no longer counter gravitational force. Therefore, it collapses under its own gravity and then explodes in a supernova. Its materials are now gone into the space, but even here we are left with the core, the neutron stars.

NEUTRON STARS

Neutron stars are incredibly dense objects. If you want to form a neutron star, then compress the mass of Mount Everest into a tiny sugar cube. They are so dense that the electrons and protons inside them fuse with neutrons and form a friction less fluid called Super fluid.

They feed on lighter bodies and eventually collapse to form a black hole. 





EXTREMELY BIG STARS.


They are extremely big stars. Their story is same as the big star, but here we do not meet any neutron star. Here we directly get a black hole after the supernova explosion.




Look around yourself, everything which you see is made up of the remnants of a star which died billions of years ago. Personally, I think that we should know more about them because they are trying to tell us something about our existence.
