7 Mind-Blowing Cosmic Mysteries Yet to be Solved
In the last 50 years, humanity has been to space, to the moon, taken photos of supermassive
blackholes, peered into the heart of atoms and traveled back in time to observe the birth of
the universe. Despite this, there are massive gaps in our understanding of the Universe and
its principles. What are these gaps? What challenges do they pose? In this video,
we will talk about the 7 biggest unsolved mysteries of the universe.
1. Dark Matter and Dark Energy
In the 1990s, cosmologists came to the realization that the gravitational
force exerted by clusters, which consist of numerous galaxies,
could not account for the galaxies' cohesive presence within the clusters.Energy
has since been identified as the embodiment of Einstein's cosmological constant.
2. Why do Supermassive Black holes exist at the center of galaxies?
Our Universe is home to an estimated two trillion
galaxies, each thought to contain a central supermassive black hole.
3. Origin of Life and Consciousness
Looking back on the history of our universe, the emergence of life seems improbable. It
began with the Big Bang, where subatomic particles emerged and eventually coalesced to form atoms.
4. The Fermi Paradox
The question of whether or not we are alone in the vast expanse of
the Universe has long been pondered by scientists and the general public alike.
5. How did the Universe emerge from Nothing?
According to the conventional view of cosmology, the universe began with an
inflationary vacuum, which had a high energy density and repulsive gravity,
6. Does the Multiverse exist?
The idea of the multiverse has become a prominent
contender in the debate over the origin of the Universe.
Nevertheless, a definitive confirmation of the multiverse theory is still elusive. Essentially,
this theory seeks to address what could have existed prior to the Big Bang,
an inquiry that cannot be answered at present due to our limited understanding of singularities.
7. Does Time Exist?
Obviously, this one sounds like a cliche, but time is a mysterious concept.
The concept of time is difficult to pin down.
