Journey Through Our Universe

Key Concepts

• Black Holes: Massive objects that warp space and time.
• Pulsars: Rapidly spinning stars emitting powerful energy beams.
• Nebulae: Colorful regions with new stars forming, resembling fireworks.
• Galaxies: Diverse in size and color, part of our universe.
• Universe Boundaries: The universe is not infinite; it has a boundary beyond which is nothingness.

Structure of the Universe

• The universe resembles nested dolls:
  • Galaxies are larger dolls.
  • Solar Systems reside within galaxies.
  • Earth is the smallest doll.

Key Boundaries to Cross

1. Kármán Line:
   • Located 62 miles above sea level, where Earth’s atmosphere ends.
2. Heliosphere:
   • Boundary of the solar system.
   • Solar wind slows down here and reaches the Heliopause.
3. Oort Cloud:
   • A shell of icy objects and asteroids surrounding the solar system.
   • Potential source of comets.

Voyaging into Interstellar Space

• Voyager Probes:
  • Voyager 1: Crossed the heliosphere in 2004.
  • Voyager 2: Crossed it in 2007.
• The heliosphere is not a perfect sphere; it's unevenly shaped.

Exploring Beyond Our Galaxy

• Milky Way Galaxy: Approximately 100,000 light years wide.
• Nearby structures include:
  • Laniacha Supercluster
  • Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster

Observable Universe

• The universe is thought to have a boundary about 10 billion light years away.
• Traveling at light speed would take double the age of Earth to reach it.

The Original Supervoid

• Exists as a massive void likely resulting from a collision with another universe.
• Holds potential for multiple parallel universes, all birthed during the Big Bang.

Collisions and Cosmic Events

• When universes collide:
  • Material may be exchanged between them, leaving voids like the Original Supervoid.
  • The gravitational interaction could alter each universe significantly.

Theoretical Travel and Physics

• Possible travel between universes through black holes and white holes:
  • Black Holes: Collapsing matter creating high-density regions.
  • White Holes: Theoretical opposites where nothing can enter.
• Little Bang: Burst of energy resembling a supernova linked to white holes.

Future of Our Galaxy

• The Andromeda Galaxy is on a collision course with the Milky Way:
  • Full collision expected to create a new cosmic structure (possibly combined as ... "Milkomeda").
  • Various outcomes, including potential destruction or merging of galaxies.

Cosmic Structures and Enormity

• South Pole Wall: Large galaxy collection, cannot be directly observed due to the Milky Way's brightness.
• Hercules Corona Borealis Great Wall: A massive structure of galaxies, 10 billion light years wide.
• Void Regions: Areas with nearly no matter, exhibiting fewer particles than empty rooms.

Final Thoughts

• Understanding cosmic phenomena helps in grasping the complex structure of our universe.
• The size and scale of universal phenomena challenge existing perceptions of space and time.
