Fewer Stars Decline

Decent Essays
Our universe is fading according to a recent study done by GAMA (Galaxy and mass assembly). After surveying light from as far back as two billion years the survey found that the light in our universe is fading and will have gone black in 100 billion years. This is due to two main factors. Fewer stars (the universe's light bulbs) are being made and our universe is expanding. “More stars are dying then being born” we know this because after looking 2 billion years into the past we have seen a brighter universe, this has many implications. Since stars are responsible for almost all the light and energy in our universe a declining of them means a declining of their produce which will darken and freeze the universe.

    Important events from chapter 4: When Zee Prime asked the Universal AC about the galaxy where mankind originated, his thoughts were "guided" by the AC. The AC showed him the original galaxy but he was disappointed because it looked just like the other galaxies. This event is important because it shows that the new galaxies that the humans in the story were occupying are no different from the galaxy where they originated. This tells us that their means of living might not have changed that much.…

    Love and Hope are Infinitely More Powerful than Hate and Fury: A Response to Kovály’s Under A Cruel Star: A Life in Prague 1941-1968 Heda Margolius Kovály’s memoir, Under A Cruel Star: A Life in Prague 1941-1968, tells a story of love and loss, of hope and horror, of life as a persecuted Czech Jew under the Nazi and Communist regimes. Her account emphasizes courage in the face of fear, and it speaks of the facts behind these regimes, as she knows them to be true. In this book, Kovály describes life in a communist state in the Eastern Bloc as incredibly unjust and intolerable, a contradiction to the ways Communism promised to heal the wounds of World War II through a strong sense of community and pursuing happiness with non-material things.…

    In a thought-provoking literary composition by Stephen Jay Gould, the hypotheses of dinosaur extinction are intermingled with the all-consuming thoughts and dilemmas that plague much of the modern society, including: sex, drugs, and violence; as well as one great unknown- how dinosaurs became extinct. Gould adds the public’s lust for outré, controversial statements with real, scientific inferences. Plaguing the world with questionability, the explanation for the dinosaurs’ extinction is still unidentified, but Gould transforms unlikely conjectures into comprehensible, quirky proposals. Moreover, Gould explains arguments beyond the ordinary “asteroid theory” burgeon within the scientific community while slightly discrediting them. Banal…

In those four sections, Dr. Newman describes the perfection of God’s creation, and how life would not exist had it been created even slightly differently.…

For example, people once believed that the Earth was flat, and the sun and other planets orbited around us. As we advanced in technology, we proved both of these ideas to be false. Even today there is still work to be done, ideas and theories to confirm and disprove, and plenty of other things to explore.…

    Life as we know it is a relatively new addition to an already vast universe, let alone the mind that is capable of formulating the concept of a soul/conscience. Moreover, our sun, which it in its late age will begin to run out of helium, will bloat up like a swollen grape to engulf all the inner planets of our Solar System, including Earth. There will be no trace of our grandiose civilisations, our monumental discoveries or our ethical doctrines or our species in general. A few billion years into the future, at the onset of the universe's heat death, the stars in the night sky will begin to go out. One by one, they will start collapsing into themselves and flickering out like a candle in the wind till the universe is restored to its initial stage of cold darkness, just as it was before the Big Bang.…

Men will turn their backs to God and deny Him just as they claim to be prophets of his teachings. Nations will become perverse in their actions to allow sexual pleasures and worshippers of themselves and their possessions.

    Humanity needs to travel the stars for survival purposes because the Earth is more fragile than it appears. Additionally, human aggression could easily destroy the planet faster than the Sun 's rising temperatures could. Consequently it is theorised that the sun will eventually cause the extinction of all sentient life on earth the reasoning behind this is that the sun is getting hotter due to the fact that it is burning up more hydrogen than it can sustain which causes the sun to gain more heat this is seen often in stars of which our sun is one, it is theorised that the sun will wipe out sentient life in 1 – 3 billion years ' time. Furthermore, there is a significantly high chance that human aggression could wipe out humanity faster than a heatwave from the sun, this is evident in the rising aggression between America, Russia and North Korea all who have the power to destroy the Earth with the push of a…
