Do fundamentalists ever use their reasoning ability an wonder why God, the creator of the Universe, would make such laws and demands on the inhabitants of this small, insignificant planet revolving in this vast solar system, traveling in this vast galaxy, floating through this endless universe?

I can't claim to be providing certainly accurate information on this, since it's been a while since I've done relevant physics reading (lay books, not academic), but in the early universe (before inflation went out of control) there were irregularities that gave rise to clumping, from which the first stars and galaxies originated.

Yes indeed, God created the entire universe, yet one of his chief concerns seems to be whether a bunch of violent apes on a speck of dust orbiting an ordinary middle - aged star in an unremarkable galaxy are touching themselves.

And then, having created this universe of over 100 billion galaxies containing a trillion trillion stars he decides to focus his attention on one planet where he creates life «in his image» as if such a being would even have an image.

There are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy, each with planets, that large of a number even if a tiny fraction had an atmosphere and even if a fraction of them had water (as we know it is required, but life may not require it on other planets) it would be amazing if there wasn't a carbon based lifeform somewhere else in our galaxy, let alone in the universe with billions of galaxies each with billions of stars and trillions of planets.

Carl Sagan claimed that «we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe».

The atoms and molecules from which life has been fashioned are universal; life itself exists in myriad forms on this planet and may exist on myriad other planets in this galaxy and in countless others, but a conscious mind capable of thinking and feeling is unique on Earth and may be unmatched in the whole of the universe.

We may be but one among many living things on a small planet swimming in the endless spaces of a vast galaxy within an almost infinite cosmos, yet surely we are among the most astonishing manifestations of evolution in the whole of the universe.

If there are life forms elsewhere in the universe, perhaps in another galaxy or perhaps on other planets would they be Muslim, Jews, Christian, Buddhist or something else?

It means that the earth on which we live is not the center of the physical universe, but a comparatively small planet revolving round a very average - sized star, which in turn is but one of a hundred thousand million others forming the galaxy we call the Milky Way, and that part of the universe that our existing telescopes have so far penetrated contains about a hundred million star systems or nebulae, similar to our galaxy.

by calculating the estimation of how many galaxies are in the universe, times how many planets in each, times how many likely have the conditions that support life, times the probability of elements combining and creating life... the result is something like there could be 10 million planets that have life on them, aka aliens

General relativity came on the scene before anyone knew that the universe is expanding, a time when astronomers could not be certain that those fuzzy splotches of light in the sky were actually other galaxies.

The discovery is promising for NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope, which will launch in 2018 on a mission to study these embryonic galaxies from the universe's distant dawn in much more detail.

Decades earlier, cosmologists looking at Einstein's equations determined three possible destinies lying in wait for the universe, depending on how much stuff — galaxies, stars, humans — it contained.

In the early universe, astronomers believe, dark matter provided the gravitational scaffolding on which ordinary matter coalesced and grew into galaxies.

Like revelers on a ship, the galaxies in our group will continue to collide and interact in myriad interesting ways, but we will be forever separated from the revelers on other ships sailing away from us in the vast universe.

By learning about the change that the first stars and galaxies imposed on the universe, Hewitt said, HERA will help scientists figure out if the larger picture — the story — that they've pieced together about the emergence of luminous objects in the cosmos is correct.

Some research has been done to deduce the chemical makeup of very early galaxies, based on observations of very bright, distant galaxies, or of very old stars that formed in the early universe and are still around today, Hewitt said.

Researchers used supernovas, cosmic microwave background radiation and patterns of galaxy clusters to measure the Hubble constant — the rate at which the universe expands — but their results were mismatched, Emily Conover reported in «Debate persists on cosmic expansion» (SN: 8/6/16, p. 10).

The reionization of hydrogen in the universe didn't occur like the flipping on of a light switch; it wasn't instantaneous and probably didn't happen at the same rate across the cosmos, said Anna Frebel, an assistant professor of physics at MIT who studies stars and galaxies that formed in the very early days of the universe.

His work was very mathematical and computer - intensive, two of my strengths at the time, and we made a lot of progress on a small project about galaxy motions in the nearby universe.

We are just a species of ape living on a smallish planet orbiting an unremarkable star in one galaxy among billions in a universe that had been around for 13.8 billion years without us.

And because the simulation doesn't run on to the present day, he says, we don't know whether the simulated galaxy would end up as something that looks familiar in today's universe.

The study, published online today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, describes how the researchers used the powerful MOSFIRE instrument on the W. M. Keck Observatory's 10 - meter telescope in Hawaii to peer into a time when the universe was still very young and see what the galaxy looked like only 670 million years after the big bang.

Based on measurements of the expansion using Type Ia supernovae, measurements of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background, and measurements of the correlation function of galaxies, the universe has a calculated age of 13.7 ± 0.2 billion years.

A new study based on observations with the Hubble Space Telescope has shown that the most massive galaxies in the universe, which are found in clusters like this, have been aligned with the distribution of neighboring galaxies for at least 10 billion years.

During its five - year primary mission, NASA's Fermi Gamma - ray Space Telescope has given astronomers an increasingly detailed portrait of the universe's most extraordinary phenomena, from giant black holes in the hearts of distant galaxies to thunderstorms on Earth.

SALT LAKE CITY — In the primeval universe, a violent event roiled a dwarf galaxy, leaving an indelible mark on the stars that formed there.

Dwarf galaxies, amorphous blobs of only tens of millions of stars, were cranking out nearly a third of the new stars in the universe from about 8 billion to 10 billion years ago, according to new research posted June 17 on arXiv.org.

Most galaxies in the universe revolve around central black holes, which feed voraciously on galactic gas and dust and spew out radiation.

On Friday at a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society in Glasgow, U. K., Bluck will report that the most active supermassive black holes release staggering amounts of radiation during their most energetic periods, which can last hundreds of millions of years — enough, he says, «to strip apart every massive galaxy in the universe at least 25 times over.»

A new study led by University of California, Riverside astronomers casts light on how young, hot stars ionize oxygen in the early universe and the effects on the evolution of galaxies through time.

Analysis of the newly found quasar shows that a large fraction of the hydrogen in its immediate surroundings is neutral, indicating that the astronomers have identified a source in the epoch of reionization, before enough of the first stars and galaxies have turned on to fully re-ionize the universe.

In practice, normal and dark matter appear to fill the universe with a foam - like structure, where galaxies are located on the thin walls between bubbles, and are grouped into superclusters.

FIRST BURST A supermassive black hole (illustrated) in the early universe suggests some black holes got a head start on the galaxies they inhabit.

This is significant, according to the researchers, because many models for what we know about the universe rely on galaxies behaving in a fashion similar to the Milky Way.

Initial fluctuations in the matter density of the early universe led to the formation of galaxies, but these fluctuations must have been small or they would have imprinted themselves on the microwave background.

Lead scientist Professor Tim Gershon, from The University of Warwick's Department of Physics, explains: «Gravity describes the universe on a large scale from galaxies to Newton's falling apple, whilst the electromagnetic interaction is responsible for binding molecules together and also for holding electrons in orbit around an atom's nucleus.

2001: Dark Energy Hubble data on stellar explosions in distant galaxies gave astronomers their best measurement of how fast the universe is expanding.

Cosmologists typically focus on the large - scale properties of the universe as a whole, such as galaxies and intergalactic medium; while astrophysicists are more interested in testing physical theories of small - to medium - sized objects, such as stars, supernovae and interstellar medium.

Alternate universes with larger cosmological constants would prevent galaxies from coalescing, while those with zero or negative values might quickly collapse a budding cosmos in on itself.

... on black holes: They are highly significant: Every galaxy has one at its center, and they play a dominant role in the structure of the universe.

To compute one of the two main simulation runs, over 24,000 processors were used over the course of more than two months to follow the formation of millions of galaxies in a representative region of the universe with nearly one billion light - years on a side.

The cosmic web — the distribution of matter on the largest scales in the universe — has usually been defined through the distribution of galaxies.

The currently favored cosmological galaxy models are based on the idea of hierarchical structure formation: that structures in the universe such as galaxies develop from small «overdensities» to become large - scale objects.

But Hubble went on to make some of the most important discoveries in the history of astronomy, from providing the best estimate of the universe's age to discovering black holes in the center of galaxies.
