Mysteries of space that astronomers are silent about. Mysteries of Space. Amazing facts (11 photos)

The peculiarity of the bubble is that space and time are “confused” in it. At every moment of time it contains not only the present of the Universe, but also its future. And because in the infinitely distant future the bubble itself, and therefore the Universe, will be infinitely large, then today’s Universe seems limitless. The infinite Universe fits into a tiny volume.” One could cite many other hypotheses that have been proposed recently. But there is no point in this, because none of them gives a final answer to the question: what happened before the Big Bang?..

American astronauts also met angels in space. Moreover, they were even photographed by the Hubble telescope. They were also “seen” by the equipment of a number of research satellites. While exploring the galaxy NGG-3532, Hubble's sensors detected 7 bright objects in Earth's orbit. Moreover, in some photographs one could see, although not entirely distinct, the figures of winged creatures that looked like biblical angels! “They were about 20 meters high,” Hubble project engineer John Pratchers later said. “These creatures emitted a strong glow. We can't say yet...

“...I begin to look closely at Valery (V.L. Kubasov): “Does he really not feel anything?” He turns his head towards me. His face bears little resemblance to the usual Valerino, and I smiled. – Before you laugh, look at yourself in the mirror, handsome! - he muttered. I swim into the orbital compartment to the mirror. I looked and didn’t recognize myself: my face was somehow incredibly swollen, my eyes were red and bloodshot. The desire to look in the mirror immediately disappeared. By the end of the second day we began to feel better, our faces took on their normal appearance... Unpleasant sensations dulled”... In addition to visual illusions, the astronauts were also noted...

This incident may be considered the first time a person has died as a result of attempting to investigate a UFO at close range. 1948, January 7 - 4 Mustang P-51 fighters took off from Godman Air Base (Kentucky, USA), tasked with catching up and investigating an unidentified object that was approaching the air base. All 4 pilots clearly saw an object in front of them, which they described as “metallic, of enormous size, round, like a tear, and sometimes seemed liquid”... Three pilots returned to base, and one - flight commander Captain Thomas F. Mantell - continued the pursuit UFO...

The mass of the white dwarf does not exceed 1.4 solar masses (Chandrasekhar limit). A white dwarf is equal in size to our planet, but the mass of such a star is 100,000 times greater than the mass of our Earth. At large masses, the gravitational force will exceed the pressure of the electrons, and the star will collapse under its own weight, giving rise to a neutron star or black hole. White dwarfs have low brightness, they gradually cool down, becoming cold, dark objects. They represent the final stage of evolution of a low-mass star, after the star loses its outer layer...

The most distant stars that we can see look the same as they did 14,000,000,000 years ago. The light from these stars reaches us through space after many billions of years, and has a speed of 300,000 km/sec. In the Solar System there is a body similar to the Earth. This is Saturn's moon, Titan. On its surface there are rivers, volcanoes, seas, and the atmosphere has a high density. The distance from Saturn to its satellite is approximately equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun, the ratio of body masses is approximately the same. But there will most likely be no intelligent life on Titan due to...

During the conversation, the guest once accidentally ran his hand in a gray suede glove over his lips, and Hopkins was shocked to see that they were smudged, and there was a red mark of lipstick on the glove! And that wasn't the only strange thing. The stranger said that he knew: there were two coins in the owner’s pocket. And so it was. Then the “man in black” asked the doctor to put one coin in his palm and observe it. Hopkins did just that, and before his eyes it first began to lose the clarity of its outlines, and then disappeared completely! The guest said: “Neither you nor anyone else on this planet will ever see this coin again”...

Even Ptolemy wrote on the topic of the dimension of space, where he argued that more than three spatial dimensions cannot exist in nature. In his book “About Heaven” another Greek thinker Aristotle wrote that only the presence of three dimensions ensures the perfection and completeness of the world. One dimension, Aristotle reasoned, forms a line. If we add another dimension to the line, we get a surface. Adding another dimension to the surface forms a volumetric body. It turns out that “it is no longer possible to go beyond the boundaries of a volumetric body to something else, since any change...

The mysteries of space are what have attracted man since time immemorial. Planets and satellites, stars and galaxies and the mystical secrets of the boundless Universe... Extraterrestrial civilizations and UFOs, who are they who look at us from the starry sky and will our meeting be open and what will it be like?...

The world is kept secret.

DAYS AND NIGHTS OF BRAMA

If You love to look at the starry sky, If it attracts You with its harmony and amazes You with its immensity, -

It means there's a beating in your chest living heart, and it will be able to echo the innermost words about the life of the Cosmos.

Listen to what the first legend says about the infinity, eternity and rhythm of the Great Being of the Universe.

Since time immemorial, people have looked at the starry sky and reverently admired the twinkling of countless worlds. The greatness of the Cosmos amazed man from the very beginning of his presence on earth. Especially in the solitude of the vast desert or among the piles of gigantic mountains, a person involuntarily plunged into thoughts about the immensity of the Universe, about the infinity of outer space.

The human mind was amazed at this infinity. But he also could not imagine the Cosmos as ultimate. Having assumed that there is a limit of space somewhere, we also admit the question: what is beyond this limit? If not space, then what exactly? And every time the human mind is forced to admit - Space cannot have limits, outer space extends in all directions infinitely...

But the human mind, which is very limited, is also not able to fully comprehend the infinity. So Cosmic Infinity remains an incomprehensible strange concept, before which the human mind becomes numb...

The thought of the infinity of the Cosmos in space involuntarily evoked the thought of its Eternity in time. Thus arose the oldest of ancient questions: was there ever a beginning to the Universe? Will there be an end to it? Or does all this exist from eternity? And people went into the deserts, retired to the mountains - they became hermits, so that no one would stop them from concentrating on thinking about the fundamental questions of Existence. And they thought, thought, thought...

And so cosmic secrets began to gradually reveal themselves to them. The intense, concentrated, constant thinking of those who abandoned the pleasures of ordinary life for the sake of learning the secrets of the Cosmos attracted spatial thought - they began to hear the Voice of Silence: “There was a time when there was nothing!” This time is narrated in the hymns of the Rig Veda, one of the oldest monuments of world literature. Here is a fragment of one of these hymns:

“Nothing existed: neither the clear Sky, nor the majestic vault stretched over the Earth.

What covered everything? What was the fence? What was hidden? Were those bottomless depths of water?

There was no death and there was no immortality. There were no boundaries between day and night.

Only the One in his breath without sighs, and nothing else had existence.

Darkness reigned, and everything was hidden from the beginning in the depths of darkness - the Lightless Ocean.

An excerpt from the even more ancient “Book of Dzyan” speaks about the same thing:

"There was nothing…

The One Darkness filled the Boundless Everything... There was no time, it rested in the Infinite Bottoms of Duration.

There was no Universal Mind, because there were no Beings to contain It...

There was no Silence, no Sound, nothing but the Indestructible Eternal Breath, unaware of itself... Only the One Form of Existence, boundless, endless, causeless, extended, resting in a Dreamless Sleep; Unconscious life pulsated in the Universal Space..."

These fragments of the most ancient recorded human thought speak of a time when the Cosmos did not yet exist, when “nothing existed.” This means that there was once a beginning of the Universe. And if there was a beginning, then there must be an end. After all, everything that is born must die. If there was a time when the Cosmos did not exist, then the hour will come when it will not exist again.

And legends claim that the Cosmos is born into existence, exists for a certain limited time, and then again dissolves into non-existence.

In legends ancient india the period of the existence of the Cosmos is called the “Age of Brahma” or the “Great Manvantara”. To express the duration of this period in our calculation, 15 digits are required. And although the Cosmos exists for such an unimaginably long time that it seems endless, this time is still limited - our Universe is not eternal.

The “Great Eternity of Non-existence” continues for the same amount of time, called “Maha (great) Pralaya,” that is, universal dissolution. Then the Universe rises again to a new Cosmic Life, to a new Age of Brahma. Thus continues, without beginning or end, the alternation of great periods of Life and Death of the Cosmos.

In the alternating cycles of Existence and Non-Existence - the Universe is eternal! It is periodic in the incessant appearance and disappearance of Worlds - and eternal in general. The number of Manvantaras is unlimited - there never was a first Manvantara, just as there will never be a last.

The Great Cosmos manifests itself into life and dissolves into non-existence in exactly the same way as the microcosm - man - is born and dies. The analogy here is complete. It spreads further. Just as a person experiences a “little death” every night, falling asleep in the evening and waking up in the morning, so does the “Night” of the Universe, when only everything living dies, but the whole world does not disappear, but remains in a sleeping state. On “Morning” everything comes to life again. This repetition of periods of sleep and wakefulness in Space can be compared with the change of winter and summer in Nature.

In the terminology of ancient Hindu philosophy, the period of cosmic activity of the Universe, when the Cosmos is “awake”, when everything that exists is alive, is called the “Day of Brahma” or the Small Manvantara. And the time when the Cosmos “sleeps”, when everything in the Universe “rests”, is called the “Night of Brahma” or Lesser Pralaya. It is said that the duration of Brahma's Day is more than four billion years;

Three hundred and sixty Days and Nights of Brahma constitute one Year of Brahma, and one hundred years of Brahma is the Age of Brahma already known to us. This is the calculation of the Cosmic calendar!

The alternation of activity and passivity in the Cosmos is reflected in the periodicity of all manifestations of Nature. In everything one can distinguish between Manvantaras and Pralayas. From the smallest phenomena to the change of Worlds one can see this majestic law. It operates in the beating of the heart and the rhythm of breathing; sleep and wakefulness, the change of day and night are subject to it - just like the phases of the moon and the alternation of seasons. The birth, life and death of all living things are repeated forever. Nature, like the entire Cosmos, manifests itself in endless change, in an eternal rhythm. Man and his planet Earth, solar system. The Universe as a whole - everything in Space has its own periods of activity and rest, life and death.

Among the Milky Way of stars, the birth and death of worlds eternally follow one another in a regular sequence in the solemn procession of Cosmic Law.

This is how the legend tells about the First Mystery of the Cosmos - about the great cosmic rhythm of Existence and Non-Existence.

The second secret

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SPACE (Parabraman)

You have learned the secret of the great Cosmic Rhythm. You now know about the eternal change of Cycles of the Universe.

You will also want to know further:

What determines the duration of these periods?

What gives impetus to the repeated births of the Cosmos from Non-Existence?

Listen to what the legend has to say about it.

In the ancient Hindu book “Vishnu Purana” there is the following passage:

“There was no day, no night, no earth, no darkness, no light, nothing but the One, incomprehensible to reason, or That which is Parabrahman.”

Let us also recall fragments from the first legend, which speak of “The One in his breath without a sigh” and about the “Indestructible Eternal Breath, not knowing itself.”

These passages indicate that during the Maha Pralaya, when all existence has dissolved into Non-Existence, something Indestructible still exists.

This is the Great Cosmic Principle, the causeless Cause of Existence, which after Maha Pralaya will cause a new manifestation of the Universe. Just as after the flame goes out and dissolves into non-existence, the “principle of fire” will remain, which makes its re-manifestation possible and calls it into existence.

This great divine principle or law is given a name in legends: “Parabrahman” - That which lies behind Brahman, what is on the other side of Brahman - Cosmos.

This One and Infinite Beginning exists from Eternity, being sometimes passive, sometimes active in a regular and harmonious sequence. At the beginning of the period of activity, the expansion of this Divine Principle occurs - and the visible world is the end result of a long chain of cosmic forces, successively set in motion. Also, when a return to a passive state occurs, the activity of the Divine Principle decreases, and the previous creation gradually and consistently dissolves. In another ancient book it is said this way:

“The exhalation of the Unknowable Beginning gives birth to the world, and the inhalation makes it disappear. This process continues from eternity, and our Universe is only one of an endless series that has neither beginning nor end.”

This majestic Cause of all things was considered by ancient legends to be the basis of the entire universe. All ancient peoples worshiped this One Divine Principle under different names corresponding to each nation, each country.

This is how one of the hymns to the Absolute, Parabrahman, glorifies this great concept:

“You are One, the beginning of all numbers and the basis of all constructions.

You are One, and in the mystery of Your Unity the wisest of people are lost, for they do not know it.

You are One, and Your Unity never diminishes and never expands and cannot be changed.

You are One, but not as an element of calculation, for Your Unity does not allow multiplication, change or form.

You exist, but in Yourself Alone, for no one else can exist with You.

You exist before all times and outside of any place.

You exist and Your existence is so deep and hidden that no one can penetrate Your Secret and open it.

You are alive, but outside of time that can be established or known.

You live, but not by the power of spirit or soul, for You are the very Soul of all Souls!”

All legends and hymns indicate that this Omnipresent, Eternal, Infinite and Immutable Principle is beyond the power of human understanding. It can only be diminished by human expressions and similes.

Therefore, it is believed that no reasoning about it is possible. So Socrates invariably refused to discuss the secret of the World Essence. The Absolute is Infinity, therefore any judgments about It will inevitably be only limitations of It. The greatness and beauty of Infinity do not fit either in our limited understanding or in our terms and must remain within the limits of the Ineffable. Therefore, the Unknowable Cause of the Cosmos remains the Greatest Mystery,

forever incomprehensible. We can only comprehend various aspects and manifestations of this Absolute, this eternally invisible Soul of the Cosmos.

In all legends, Parabrahman, or the Absolute, is a purely philosophical concept - a principle, law or principle on which the Being and Non-Existence of the Cosmos is based. But the ministers of religions personified this philosophical concept, transforming it into the idea of ​​“One God,” “Creator of Earth and Heaven.” By such derogation this great concept was reduced to a personal god, to the “Lord of the Universe.” This personal god already has a definite character: he is angry, punishes and rewards. But he can be appeased, especially if certain sacrifices are made to his servants... Yes, the ancient legends do not know such a “god”.

This is how the legend tells about the Second Mystery of the Cosmos - about the Eternal and Unchangeable Divine Beginning of the Universe.

The third secret

BUILDERS OF THE UNIVERSE

You already have an idea about Parabrahman.

You know what gives impetus to the beginning of each new Manvantara.

But how is the Cosmos born after Maha Pralaya?

Does it arise on its own, without any outside help?

Or is someone creating it, building it?

Listen to what the legends say about it.

... The Cosmic Night ends. The eternal and unshakable Law, which produces the alternation of great periods of Activity and Peace of the Universe, gives the impetus for the awakening of the Cosmos to life. The new Manvantara is dawning.

How does the Great Origin of Cosmic Life begin? When the hour has struck, from the Unknown and Unknowable Absolute - Parabrahman, from the Causeless Cause of all things - the First Cause of the Cosmos, the Great Divine Essence, called the Logos, first arises into Being.

This concept, taken from ancient Greek philosophy, expresses the idea ancient legend: Logos is the first Word heard in Silence. This is the new Sound through which the Universe begins. This is the vibration or movement of Divine Energy, which is also light, for Light is the movement of Matter. This Light also means the Divine Thought, which gives rise to the further process of creation of the Universe.

Then other Great Beings appear - these are those who completed their human evolution in the past Manvantara on one or another planet, in one or another solar system - the so-called Planetary Spirits, Creators of Worlds. With the beginning of a new Manvantara, these powerful Spirits become the closest collaborators of the Cosmic Logos.

Thus, the manifested Logos begins to lead the entire Hierarchy of conscious Divine Forces - spiritual, intelligent Essences. In this Hierarchy, each Being has a specific task in the construction and management of the Cosmos throughout its existence.

The Hierarchical Beginning is the Cosmic Law, the leading principle in the Cosmos, therefore each Universe, World or Planet has its own Hierarch. There is always a Supreme Spiritual Being who takes responsibility for the planet for the whole Manvantara and stands at the head of his high Brothers.

Before starting work on his Universe, the Logos creates on the plane of Divine Thought a blueprint for the entire system of the Universe, what it should be like from the beginning to its end. He creates on this plane all the “prototypes” of forces and forms, emotions, thoughts and intuitions, and determines how and through what stages each of them should be realized in the evolutionary scheme of His system. Thus, before the emergence of the Universe, its entire integrity lies in the Universal Mind of the Logos, exists in It as an idea - everything that, during the construction process, results in objective life. All these prototypes, being the fruits of previous worlds, serve as seed for the future world.

Among the countless Hierarchy of Creative Forces, subordinate to the Logos, there are vast hosts of Builders who create all forms according to these ideas residing in the treasury of the Logos, the World Mind. So these Builders create or rather recreate all the “Systems” after the “Night”.

Logos is the “Creator” of the Universe in the sense used when an architect is spoken of as the “Creator” of a building, although this architect never touched a single stone of it, but, having drawn out a plan, provided all handmade masons.

Ancient cosmogonic legends of the East tell that the Universe after Pralaya is being built very slowly, gradually, over many hundreds of millions of years, and that a host of intelligent beings are working on the creation of the Cosmos - from the great divine Architects to ordinary masons.

Who can calculate how many eons it took to shape our tiny Earth alone? Will this “creation” stretch for hundreds of millions of years just for our planet?

This is how the legend tells about the Third Mystery of the Cosmos - about the great Hierarchy of the Creative Forces of the Universe.

Mystery Four

CREATION OF SPACE MATTER

You already know that with the dawn of Manvantara the creation of the Cosmos begins.

You already know that the Universe is built according to the plan of the Logos.

You even learned something about the Hierarchy of Cosmic Builders.

Now listen to what the legend says about Cosmic Matter, from which Worlds are created.

With the dawn of the new Manvantara, the first of the three great stages of the activities of the Logos and the Hierarchy of the Builders begins. This is the creation of materials from which the Universe will later be built.

The primary material or “raw material” for Cosmic Matter is the Pre-Cosmic Substance - unmanifested virgin matter. In Eastern legends it is called Mula-Prakriti, which means the Root of Matter. Mula Prakriti, being an aspect of Parabrahman, is eternal and exists even during Pralaya. This “dissolved” matter is an unimaginably rarefied substance. From it all types of Cosmic Matter are created - from the subtlest to the coarsest.

Legends distinguish seven states of Cosmic Matter - seven degrees of its subtlety. Just as steam, water and ice are three states of the same substance of our physical world, there are also seven states of Cosmic spirit-matter. Of these, only the seventh - the lowest, most coarse state - is visible to the physical eye: this is the matter of our physical world. The six higher states are invisible and inaccessible to our physical senses.

Each of the seven gradations of Cosmic Matter consists of atoms that are different for each gradation. The atoms of the first, most subtle, state of spirit matter are created in the following way. The energy of the Logos (called Fohat in legends), with a vortex movement of unimaginable speed, “drills holes” inside the Precosmic Substance. These vortexes of life, clothed in the thinnest shell of the Precosmic Substance, are the primary atoms. These atoms represent “voids” in the substance, filled with the energy of the Logos.

Each of the seven states of Cosmic Matter forms its own special Cosmic Sphere, its own special plane or World. Countless myriads of primary atoms and their combinations form the spirit-matter of the highest or first sphere, called the “Divine World”.

Then Logos builds the atoms of the next, second, sphere around some atoms of the first, forming spiral-shaped vortices from the roughest combinations of the same sphere. These coarser atoms form the Cosmic Matter of the second sphere, called the “Monadic World”. Atoms of all following states Spiritual matter is created similarly to the atoms of the second sphere.

Legend speaks of these two highest Cosmic Spheres as inaccessible to our understanding, therefore nothing is known about them. Something is known about the following two spheres - the third, called the "World of Spirit" or the "World of Nirvana", and the fourth, called the "World of Bliss" or the "World of Intuition".

Much more is known about the fifth and sixth spheres - these are already spheres or planes accessible to man. The fifth is called the “Fiery World”, also the “World of Thought” or the “World of Mind”, and the sixth is called the “Subtle World” or the “World of Feelings, Emotions, Desires”. The very names of these Worlds show that they are “human”. They will be told about in other legends. The last, seventh sphere is our physical world in which we now live. In Cosmogonic legends it is called the “Dense World”.

Each sphere is a region containing spirit-matter, all combinations of which are based on a certain type of atom. These atoms are homogeneous units, animated by the life of the Logos, hidden under more or less veils, depending on the sphere to which they belong.

The possibility of evolution is rooted in the internal forces that are hidden in the spiritual matter of the physical world, as if wrapped in it. The entire process of evolution is nothing other than the deployment of these forces. In fact, the idea of ​​evolution can be expressed in one phrase: it is latent potentialities becoming active forces.

The word “spirit-matter” indicates that there is no such thing as “dead matter” in the world. All matter lives, its finest particles are the essence of life. There is no spirit without matter and no matter without spirit. Both are connected together throughout

neither. Matter is form, and there is no form that does not serve as an expression of life. Spirit is life, and there is no life that is not limited by form. Even the Logos, the Supreme Lord of Life, when manifesting itself, puts on the Universe, which serves as a form for Him. And the same thing is repeated everywhere, down to the smallest atom.

After the atoms of each of the seven Cosmic Spheres are built, the Logos creates divisions in them (“subplanes”), of which there are seven in each sphere. To do this, atoms are pulled together into groups of two, three, four, etc. atoms. The first subtle subdivision of each of the seven spheres consists of simple basic atoms, while all other subdivisions are composed of combinations of these atoms. Thus, in the physical world, the first division consists of simple atoms; the second is formed from fairly simple combinations of homogeneous atoms - this is the electromagnetic state of physical matter. The third division is formed from more complex combinations of atoms: this is the light state of matter, or “ether”. The fourth is even more complex: this is the thermal state of matter, or “fire”. The fifth division consists of even more complex ones, considered by chemists as gaseous atoms of chemical elements, which in this division received certain names: this is the gaseous state of matter, or “air”. The sixth division is the liquid state of matter, or “water.” The seventh consists of solids- this is “earth”.

The life or consciousness of the Lotus appears as a kind of energy, a kind of vibration; everything is based on vibrations. The Universe consists of vibrations of the flowing Divine Life; they are clothed in the basic forms of matter, from which all diversity develops.

Matter, which forms the objective world, is an emanation of the Logos, its forces and energies are the currents of His Life. He resides in every atom, penetrating everything, containing and developing everything. He is the Source and End of the Universe, its Cause and Purpose. He is in everything and everything is in Him.

This is how the legend tells about the Fourth Mystery of the Cosmos - about the construction of the seven spheres of Cosmic Matter.

The fifth secret

THE BIRTH OF PLANETS

If You know about the Builders of the Cosmos, if You know about the Materials from which it is built, then probably. You'll want to know how solar systems are created.

So listen to the ancient legend.

Both in Heaven and on Earth, the basis of being permeates everything that exists. It is this basis that helps to understand the Hierarchy of Infinity and the creation of Worlds.

Who would doubt that every earthly object expresses someone’s will? Without the application of will, one cannot create an earthly object and set it in motion. So on Earth - that means it’s the same on Higher World. Both the earthly stronghold of the planet and entire systems of celestial bodies need an impulse of will.

Such a will is especially understandable, but even the average human will can be like an approximate microcosm. If we take the average human will as one at the highest tension, then we can calculate the strength of the impulse of the planetary will. You can even rush into countless zeros,

to represent the impulse of the system's will. This is how the Universe of the Ineffable is known.

Primordial Cosmic Matter is in a rarefied state in space. From this chaotic stellar matter, the will of the Logos and His Collaborators creates worlds and sets them in motion.

A simple thrush knows how celestial bodies are conceived. The housewife churning butter has already learned the secret of the worlds. But before starting to churn, the hostess sent her thought about it. She also knows that you can't get oil from water. She will say that you can churn butter from milk, thereby she already knows about matter containing vital energy. Also, the thrush knows how beneficial spiral rotation is.

Thus, it is only from the combination of thought and churning that a useful mass is formed, then cheese comes into being, already with the rudiments of a population. Let us not smile at such a microcosm - the same energy rotates the systems of the worlds; you just need to firmly understand the meaning of thought, the meaning of Great Energy. The same energy shines in the heart of every person.

By the analogy of obtaining a piece of butter from milk, Cosmogony is also known. The thought-energy of the Logos pierces the radiant substance and with a rotational movement creates a Center of Power, around which Cosmic Matter grows. Thus, the primary differentiation of matter appears in clots and lumps, like curdling in liquid milk. This is how the Logos conceives the worlds, this is how the “Churning of the Cosmic Milky Ocean” occurs.

Worlds are created from “Stellar Substance”, which curls up and spreads in milky white clots in the depths of Space. Energy

The Logos gives the swirling Cosmic Matter the impulse of aspiration towards form and the initial movement. This movement is supported and regulated by the Hierarchs, the Planetary Spirits, who never rest. The fiery whirlwind of hot cosmic dust magnetically follows, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, the guiding thought. Cosmic Matter passes through all six stages of solidification, becomes spheroidal and finally ends up transforming into spheres.

Born in the immeasurable depths of Space from a homogeneous element, each nucleus of Cosmic Matter begins life under the most hostile circumstances. Over the course of a number of countless centuries, it must win its place in Infinity. It rushes into space and begins to revolve in the depths of the abyss in order to strengthen its homogeneous organism through the accumulation and addition of differentiated elements. So it becomes a comet.

This core rotates between denser and already motionless bodies, moving in leaps and rushing towards a point or center that attracts it. Like a ship caught in a channel strewn with reefs and underwater rocks, it tries to avoid other bodies. Many die, their mass decomposes into stronger masses. Those who move slowly are sooner or later condemned to destruction. Others escape death due to their speed.

Having reached its goal - a suitable place in space - the comet loses its speed and, consequently, its fiery tail. Here the “Fire Dragon” settles down for a calm and organized life as a respected citizen of a star family. Thus, the clumps (World Matter) first become Wanderers-comets; comets become stars, and stars (centers of rotation) become suns, in order to cool down to the level of inhabited worlds (planets).

The idea of ​​evolution, similar to Darwin's theory, the idea of ​​the struggle for existence and primacy and “survival of the fittest” belongs to ancient times. Constant battles between stars and constellations, between moons and planets; "Great Wars in Heaven" in the Puranas; The "Titan Wars" of Hesiod and other classical writers, and even the battles of the Norse legends, all refer to the Heavens, to astronomical and theogonic battles, and to the adjustment of the celestial bodies. The “struggle for existence” and the “experience of the strongest” reigned supreme from the moment the Cosmos manifested itself in existence. Moreover, ancient ideas about the creation and development of the world and life in the struggle for life are much deeper than Darwin’s theory, revealing the processes of development and transformation of species.

There was, as the legends say, no struggle in our Solar System. There is a whole poem describing the proto-genetic battles between developing planets before the final formation of the Cosmos. Here is the content of one of these legends:

“Eight sons were born from the body of the Mother of Space. Eight houses were built by the Mother for the eight Divine Sons - four greater and four lesser. These were eight brilliant Suns according to their age and dignity.

The Lord of the Sun was dissatisfied, although his house was the largest. He began to work like huge elephants do. He drew into his womb the vital breaths of his brothers. He tried to absorb them.

The four big ones were far away, at the extreme limit of their planetary system. They were not affected and laughed: “Do your best. Lord, you cannot reach us." But the smaller ones cried. What could have a weak impact on Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter would destroy such relatively small “abodes” as Mercury, Venus, Mars. They complained to Mother.

She sent the Sun to the center of her kingdom, from where it could not move. Since then it has only been guarding and threatening. It pursues its brothers, slowly turning around itself. The planets rapidly turn away from the Sun, and from afar it watches the direction in which its brothers are moving along the path surrounding their dwellings.”

According to legend, the first concentration of Cosmic Matter began around the central core, its Father Sun. But our Sun simply separated earlier than all the others, during the compression of the rotating mass, and therefore is their older “brother”, but not their “father”. The sun and planets are only half-brothers, having the same nebulous origin.

Evolving, as the legend says, from Cosmic Space, the Sun, before the final formation of the original ring planetary nebulae, drew into the depths of its mass all the cosmic vitality of the surrounding space that it could, threatening to absorb even its weakest “brothers”.

According to legends, all worlds and planets are individual beings. They must fulfill their duties, they have their periods of health and illness, birth and maturity, decline and death. They are real tight

houses of animating Minds - Planetary Spirits. Each celestial body is a temple of one of the Divine Beings - each star is a sacred Abode. They are also called “Heavenly Snails”, because the ethereal (for us) Intelligences, invisibly living in their stellar and planetary homes, carry them with them, like snails.

This is how the ancient legend tells about the Fifth Ton of the Cosmos - about the creation of the Solar Systems.

Secret six

SPACE STAGES OF LIFE

You already know how the Materials from which Worlds are built are created.

You have learned how these Worlds are called into Being.

Now let's take a look behind the veil that hides the secrets of life in these Worlds.

The process of creation of Cosmic Matter occurs over endless centuries. When the evolution of materials has advanced sufficiently, then the second great Cosmic Wave begins to emanate from the Logos. It gives impetus to the evolution of Life.

What is life? This is the energy of the Logos, which builds forms for its manifestation from the matter of all seven spheres. This is the force that for some time connects chemical elements, forming living organisms from them. These forms are built from all possible combinations of previously created Cosmic Matter. Countless hosts of Entities called Builders, including the so-called Spirits of Nature, take part in the construction.

Each form exists only as long as the life of the Logos holds matter in this form. Now for the first time the phenomena of birth and growth, decay and death arise. An organism is born because the Life of the Logos strives to accomplish a certain evolutionary work in it. It grows as this work progresses to its completion. He shows signs of decline as the Logos slowly draws Life from him, for life has grown as much as was possible in this organism. The latter dies when the Logos extracts all Life from him.

What appears to us as the death of an organism is nothing more than the removal of Life from it. For some time this Life will exist outside of lower matter, in conjunction with superphysical, more subtle matter. When Life leaves an organism and the latter dies, the experience it gained through it is preserved. This experience in the form of new skills is melted into new creative abilities, which will be revealed during the subsequent efforts of Life to create a new organism.

Although the plant is dying. The life that enlivened him and encouraged him to react to the influence of his surroundings does not die.

When a rose withers, we know that nothing is lost from it; every particle of its matter continues to exist, for matter cannot be destroyed. The same thing happens with Life, which creates a rose from chemical elements. It retreats temporarily, only to then reappear and build a new rose. The experience that she acquired regarding the rays of the sun, storms and the struggle for existence in the first rose is used by her to build another. The new rose will be better adapted to life and to the spread of its species.

In Nature there is no thing called death, if by death we mean dissolution into non-existence.

Life withdraws for a time into its superphysical environment, preserving in the form of new creative abilities the results of the experiences through which it has passed. The forms that arise and die one after another are like doors through which Life either manifests itself or disappears from the stage of evolution. Not a single fraction of experience is lost, just as not a single particle of matter is lost. Moreover, this Life evolves, and its evolution occurs through form. Life is subject to evolution - this means that it gradually becomes more complex in its manifestations.

Life as it develops passes through various stages. It forms successively the seven kingdoms of Nature: first the three elementary, then the mineral, plant, animal and, finally, human. These seven stages of the evolution of Life, from the first elemental kingdom to the human kingdom, are called the “Life Wave”. Thus. Life exists not only in the human, animal and vegetable kingdoms, but also in the apparently dead matter of minerals and in the organisms of invisible matter below the minerals and above man. But humanity is not the last stage in the evolution of Life - its development goes further. In the Fiery and Subtle worlds, the first three stages of the Life of the Logos are called the Elemental Essence. During a long period of time called the Chain, it manifests itself first of all in the higher subplanes of the Fiery World and is called the First Elemental Essence. When the end of the Chain comes, it returns to its source. Logos, from which it again emanates at the beginning of a new chain for the animation of the lower subplanes of the Fiery World. At this stage, it is called the Second Elemental Essence. And then she begins the work of the second Chain, retaining in herself all the experiences of the first Chain in the form of inclinations and abilities. In the next Chain it becomes the Third Elemental Essence and animates the Matter of the Subtle World.

Combinations of the Matter of the Fiery and Subtle Worlds have the goal of causing plasticity in the Matter of these worlds, the ability to take on an organized form in order to act as units and gradually develop greater stability in materials that form into certain organisms. Elemental Essence is cast into various forms, which last for a while, after which they disintegrate into their component parts.

Continuing to “descend into matter,” the life of the Logos, which animates Subtle Matter, then animates Dense (physical) Matter. The first effect of this new animation is the ability of the chemical elements to combine differently with each other. During the first Great Cosmic Wave, hydrogen and oxygen were created by the action of the Logos, but only with the advent of the second Cosmic Wave can two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom to form water.

Thus, under the influence of the Logos, physical matter arises. Under His guidance, the mineral kingdom appears, ready to build a dense earth. The poured-out life of the Logos, having reached the physical world, begins to pull together ethereal particles and unite them into ethereal forms, within which life currents move. Constructions made of denser material are introduced into these forms, serving

the basis for the first minerals. Following the laws of rhythm and beauty, matter begins to crystallize with mathematical precision. The work of Life occurs through the medium of physical forms according to the Great Plan. In this seemingly motionless matter, the Logos is working all the time. The work of Life goes on in minerals, although it is constrained, closed and compressed.

The first kingdoms of Life - the three stages of the Elemental Essence, manifesting in the Fiery and Subtle Worlds, are the involution of Life. It descends from the subtler spheres of spirit-matter into the denser ones. The mineral kingdom is the lowest, turning stage. Here Life manifests itself minimally - it is almost invisible. From this stage the evolution of Life in the exact sense of the word begins. After its deepest immersion in the matter of the mineral kingdoms, the Life of the Logos rises into the next great Kingdom of Life—the vegetable. At the beginning of this stage, the substances of the Earth develop a new ability to become shells of Life that our eyes can see. Chemical elements unite into groups, and among them a new stage of Life appears, which builds protoplasm out of them. Under the leadership of the Logos, protoplasm is transformed and becomes, over time, the Plant Kingdom.

When some of the representatives of the mineral kingdom achieve sufficient stability of form, developing Life begins to develop in the plant kingdom greater plasticity of form, combining this new property of plasticity with the previously acquired stability. Both of these properties receive even more harmonious expression in the animal kingdom and reach their highest point of balance and harmony in man.

After long experiences, growing and slowly developing during the whole Chain, the vegetable kingdom appears in the next Chain as the animal kingdom. In due course, higher animals capable of individualization emerge from the animal kingdom. When the animal group soul is built and when any animal is ready for individualization, then the action of Itself, the Monad, begins to create individuality. The human soul, created “in the image of God,” then begins its evolution, the purpose of which is to reveal the divinity in itself, in its fellow humans and in all the natural life around it. Life begins to build an individuality capable of thinking and loving, capable of self-sacrifice and heroism.

This is how the legend tells about the Sixth Mystery of the Cosmos - about the stages of unceasing Life.

Our planet, like any other, consists of three worlds. The first of these is the physical part of the planet: our globe. It is called the Dense World. The second world is the “subtle” part of the planet: the world of feelings, desires, emotions. This world is called the Subtle World. And the third world is the world of thought: it is called the Fiery World. All three worlds are combined concentrically one within the other, forming the complex body of the planet.

Thus, our planet Earth consists of dense physical matter, permeated with spheres of subtle and fiery matter. All types of matter penetrate each other. The thin sphere not only extends over the surface of the Earth for many kilometers, but also penetrates into the earth's layer; in the same way, the sphere of fiery matter permeates both the Subtle World and the dense Earth.

All three spheres of the planet, all three of its Worlds are inhabited. Those living in one World do not see or feel other Worlds. But they move from one World to another - dying in one, they are born in another.

As we already know, seven stages of cosmic life coexist on our planet. The three elemental kingdoms living in the Fiery and Subtle Worlds represent the stages of involutionary life. The mineral kingdom of the Dense World is a turning point. And the following kingdoms are the stages of evolving life. The plant kingdom lives in the Dense World: with its physical form - in its lower divisions (physical), and with its sensations - in its higher (etheric). The animal kingdom, in addition, with its feelings and desires also participates in the Subtle World.

Finally, humanity, by its thinking, also lives in the Fiery World - it participates in the life of the three Worlds. What is the highest level of cosmic life on the planet - humanity? This is a certain number (several tens of billions) of life units manifesting in human forms. These lives undergo their evolution through numerous incarnations in the Dense World of the planet. In the intervals between manifestations in the Dense World, they reside in the Subtle and Fiery Worlds. These manifestations are repeated as many times as required for the full development of the consciousness of each human life: from the animal consciousness at the beginning of the path to the divine at the end of it.

When each stage of cosmic life ends its evolution and the time comes for it to move to the next, higher stage (and according to the plan of evolution, such a time comes for all stages

simultaneously), then all stages of life that were on one planet move to another. This is the cosmic law. This means that when earthly humanity (and with it other kingdoms) completes the current stage of development, then all stages of life will leave the Earth and move on to the next planet, intended by the plan of the Logos for further evolution. On that other planet, our present humanity will go through the next stage of its development - superhuman; for lack of another name, let us call it divine. Our present animal kingdom will begin the human stage of evolution, and the plant kingdom the animal. This also means that those lives that now make up our present humanity passed through their pre-human, i.e. animal, a stage not on Earth, but on another planet. This other planet was the Moon - Zones before the development of planet Earth.

The seventh secret

THE MOON IS THE MOTHER OF THE EARTH

Do you know what planet Earth is?

Does anyone truly know what humanity is?

And do we know how human life on this planet actually proceeds?

Let's listen to how the legend answers these questions. This will help us understand the legend about the mystery of the birth of planet Earth.

Our life wave, before it entered our planet Earth, was for many centuries the life preceding the Lunar Evolution. But on planet Moon, the life wave appeared one stage earlier than on planet Earth. This means that the humanity of planet Earth was the animal kingdom on the Moon; our present animal kingdom of Earthly Evolution was the vegetable kingdom on the Moon; in the same way, all the other kingdoms of the Lunar Evolution were one step behind the same kingdoms of the Earthly Evolution. How did the transition of the life wave from the Moon to Earth take place? When the moon ended its life

the period when all stages of cosmic life on the Moon reached the highest point of their development and were ready to move to a higher level, and thereby to another planet - then a new center of planetary life was created - the center of the future Earth. Around this center the Fiery World of the new planet began to form by transferring it from the Moon. Then the Subtle World was transferred to the Earth. Finally, all the ethereal, gaseous and liquid parts of the Dense World of the Moon also moved to the new planet. It happened as follows.

The new nebula from which the Earth arose developed around a center which stood in approximately the same relation to the dying planet as the centers of the Earth and the Moon now stand. But in the nebulous state, this accumulation of matter occupied a much larger volume than the dense matter of the present Earth. It spread so far in all directions that it also embraced the old planet in its fiery embrace. The temperature of the new nebula is significantly higher than the temperatures we know. Thanks to this, the surface of the old planet was heated to such an extent that all the water and all the volatile substances passed into a gaseous state and thus became accessible to the influence of the new center of attraction, which formed in the center of the new nebula. Thus, the air and water of the old planet were drawn into the composition of the new planet.

That is why the Moon in its present state is a barren mass, devoid of air, clouds and water, uninhabited and unsuitable for the existence of any physical beings. Having transferred all its life-giving principles to the new planet, it became a truly dead planet, which, since our time, globe the rotation has almost stopped. The moon handed over everything to the Earth except its corpse.

The moon is now a cooled waste, a shadow drawn by a new body to which all its vital forces are transferred. She is doomed to pursue the Earth for many centuries, attracting her offspring and being herself attracted by them. Constantly vampirized by her offspring. The Moon takes revenge on the Earth, saturating it with its destructive, invisible and poisonous influences emitted by the hidden side of its nature. For she is dead, but, nevertheless, the body is still alive. The particles of her decaying corpse are full of active and destructive life, although the body they created is now soulless and lifeless. Therefore, its radiations are at the same time beneficial and harmful - a circumstance that finds a parallel on Earth in the fact that grass and plants are nowhere so succulent, nowhere grow with greater vigor, than on graves; whereas it is the emanations of cemeteries or corpses that bring disease and kill.

Before the Earth reaches the pinnacle of its evolution, the disintegration of its mother Moon will be completed. Whatever matter still holds it together will turn into meteor dust. When the task of our planet Earth is completed, the work of evolving life will continue in the kingdoms of the next, different planet. By that time the problem of our planet will be solved, and the present Earth will become a dead body, devoid of developing life. It will decrease in size due to the loss of liquids and gases, and then it will be attracted by the new planet, and it will follow it like the Moon. Each kingdom of developing life will rise one step. Our present plant kingdom on the next planet will be its animal kingdom. Our animal kingdom will then begin to live as humans. And our humanity will rise to a superhuman level.

There are countless other planets that are inhabited by intelligent beings, both in our Solar System and outside it. So they also have a dense physical world, a subtle and fiery sphere. The Subtle World of all planets is completely different from the Subtle World of our Earth. Just as there is no physical communication through interplanetary space between the Earth and other planets, so there is no subtle communication between the Subtle World of other planets and our Subtle World. The same can be said about the Fiery Worlds.

Venus and Mercury do not have satellites, but they also had “parents”, just as the Earth had them. Both of these planets are much older than Earth. The evolution of Venus is one step ahead of the earth's. It must be borne in mind that when on the physical planet, thanks to high temperature and pressure there cannot be organic life similar to earthly life, there are still different kinds non-physical evolution, capable of carrying out their work in the Subtle World of the planet.

Due to the fact that the evolution of Venus is one step ahead of the Earth and that the average humanity of Venus is approaching the level of Adepts, the Adepts of Venus came to the aid of the inhabitants of planet Earth at its beginning as Lords, Manus, Buddhas and other Great Leaders of evolution.

So, planet Earth is the generation and creation of the Moon - its embodiment, so to speak. Having completed its life period, the Moon died and entered its Pralaya. The planets act in the heavens like man on Earth. They give birth to their own kind, grow old and fade away, and only their spiritual principles live on, as a relic of themselves. Planets are living beings, for in the Cosmos not a single atom is devoid of life, or consciousness, or spirit.

In ancient legends one can find a comparison of the Earth with a large animal that has its own special life, and therefore its own consciousness or manifestation of the spirit.

The law of birth, growth and destruction of everything in the Cosmos, from the Sun to the firefly crawling in the grass, is one. Continuous work of improvement is carried out with each new manifestation, but the Substance-Matter and Forces are the same.

This is how the legend tells about the Seventh Mystery of the Cosmos - about the birth of our planet.

Space Legends of the East

Once upon a time everyone thought that the center of the World was the Earth. Over time, this opinion was recognized as erroneous and the Sun began to be considered the center of everything. But then it turned out that the star that gives life to all life on the blue planet is by no means the center of outer space, but only a tiny grain of sand in a boundless ocean of stars. The ocean itself is not as huge as one might think...

We all live on planet Earth, which is an integral part of the solar system. This is like our district or district in the vast galactic space. In the center is the Sun (yellow star), around which nine planets revolve together. They are known to every schoolchild. This is Mercury closest to the luminary, followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter...

The sun is a ball of fire, in the depths of which a thermonuclear reaction is constantly going on. As a result, hydrogen atoms turn into helium atoms, and enormous energy is released. A small fraction of it gives life to planet Earth. A fireball formed by nuclear fusion is called a main sequence star...

Despite the fact that from space the earth's surface appears defenseless and not protected in any way, life has existed on it for 3.5 billion years. The planet, open to all winds, successfully preserves its priceless and unique wealth and does not allow it to perish either from solar radiation or from continuous meteor shower. These external aggressive factors...

In its orbit, Mercury rushes at an average speed of 48 km/s, and makes a full revolution around the luminary in 88 Earth days. The orbital eccentricity (a value indicating how different the orbit is from a circle) is 0.205, and the angle between the equatorial plane and the orbital plane is 3°. The last value suggests that on the planet Mercury there are seasonal...

Blood red is the color of war and grief. It evokes associations with devastation, hunger, and death. Mountains of corpses, the remains of burnt cities, the ominous screeching of birds of prey. For people who are relatively calm and prosperous Ancient Greece the picture is terrible. Therefore, one can imagine with what horror, inner awe and reverence the Hellenes treated the distant star, whose...

Jupiter's magnetosphere is truly titanic in size. It extends on the day side over sixteen million kilometers, and on the night side it has an elongated shape and ends beyond the orbit of its neighbor Saturn. The solar wind interacts with magnetic field, forms radiation belts, which with their radio emission can...

In the upper atmosphere temperature regime Saturn leaves much to be desired. A terrible cold reigns here. Temperatures range from -180 to -150 degrees Celsius. This leads to certain thoughts. The fact is that if the gas giant received heat only from the Sun, then its equilibrium temperature would correspond to -193 degrees Celsius...

Uranus is the seventh planet in the solar system and has been faithfully rotating on its distant boundaries for more than one billion years. There are six planets closer to the luminary. Two of them - Jupiter and the sparkling rings of Saturn - are called gas giants. Uranus also belongs to this company, radically different from the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars...

Compared to Earth, the planet Neptune looks majestic. It exceeds the blue planet in mass by 17.2 times, and in diameter by 3.9 times. But it loses significantly in density. The latter is only 1.64 g/cm³. In other words, the surface of the planet is not a reliable solid, but a viscous mass. In addition, as such, there is no surface at all. By this we mean the level...

The planet Pluto appeared on the map of the solar system relatively recently. It was discovered by American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930.

The most important place in Dogon mythology was occupied by the star Sirius. In the minds of these people, it was considered triple and consisted of a main star and two minor stars. The main one or Sirius-A was called Sigi tolo by the Dogon. The secondary ones were called: Po tolo and Emmeya tolo. There was no doubt that Potolo was Sirius B or a white dwarf. But Emmeya is unknown to astronomy...

The aliens who appeared from space on Earth were highly developed creatures. Finding themselves on the blue planet, they very soon came across ancient people who had a primitive level of development.

Atom, solar system, our planet – the same elements are present everywhere. They were scattered everywhere in all galaxies.

Everything consists of the simplest elements and black space too. There were times when there was no such chaos at all, since neither matter nor space existed. At the beginning of time there was no such abundance.

Some scientists do not support this theory, but most agree with it. They believe that once happened Big Bang, and the Universe was formed. But no one knows how it really happened, and it is still impossible to explain it.

When the Big Bang happened, small particles began to appear, and they gave birth to the Universe, but space was completely absent. The universe immediately began to grow rapidly and this continues to this day.

The space between galaxies is expanding. It is believed that the Big Bang occurred several tens of billions of years ago.

How was the Universe born?

Now it is already possible to explain how the Universe came into being. In a millionth of a second, time and space began to grow, and grew many times - approximately to the size of an atom. The process went further, and they became the size of the Galaxy.

At that time the Universe was so hot that it appeared behind short term matter, antimatter and other particles that began to break down into smaller ones. In this case, matter was able to defeat antimatter. All this was necessary to create space, stars. Then the temperature dropped trillions of times. A lot of time has passed, and the Universe has become a few seconds older. Physicists have recreated this process using a particle accelerator. This is a device where there are two rings and particles – heavy ions – are accelerated in them in opposite directions.

The rays here collide with incredible force at the speed of light and in this case streams of subatomic particles are formed. In America there is a special accelerator in which an embryo of the Universe can be created in minutes.

Galaxies formed from helium clouds. Then clusters and filaments formed, but cooling expansion continues to this day. This expansion is direct evidence of the Big Bang.

After the Big Bang occurred, space and the planets of the Universe were formed. After a complete inferno, the Universe cooled by 3000 degrees, and then radiation appeared. First ultraviolet, then microwave, and then the Universe grew and cooled. Today, space temperature is no higher than 270 degrees.

The universe took millions of years to create. The galaxies united, and the space between them was constantly growing. The stars of the Universe appeared, and they gave light everywhere, as astronomers say. Gas was condensed and heated everywhere. Nuclear fusion began. The first generation of stars was hotter, brighter and more massive than today's super giants.

Several generations have passed, and the galaxies have formed large clusters where filaments intersect. There are currently approximately 50 billion galaxies in the Universe. They stay in groups of several dozen groups and form 1000 clusters. Today there is a galactic cluster united by gravity, which is one of the largest. These clusters have evolved over millions of years. Clusters usually appear when galaxies connect and form larger forms.

Until now, the formation of galaxies that were created hundreds of millions of years ago has not been noticed. But telescopes are still pointed at the sky and there is hope for the best, that we will be lucky and see such galaxies.

Matter

If we talk about dark matter, it has always played an important role in the fate of the Universe and there are secrets of the Universe here. Since space may be rounded, there are three possibilities to explain this. The first is a closed Universe, where matter of all kinds is held together due to gravity. This retards the growth of space. Here's the big crunch theory. Expansion would cause the Universe to become denser and disappear.

There is a theory of a flat universe. Where matter is equal to critical density. This means that the Universe has no boundary, and it will always grow, its growth will be slower and slower. In an infinitely distant time it will cease. But the infinitely distant, by definition, has no end.

The third theory is the most likely. The universe is in the shape of a saddle, where the total mass is less than the critical density. Such a Universe will grow forever, and it grows here because of dark energy - these are anti-gravitational forces. Dark energy makes up 73% of space. 23 percent dark matter and 4 percent ordinary matter. What will happen in the future? Stars will be born for hundreds of billions of years. But eternal expansion means that space will become incredibly cold, dark and empty.


At a distance of several thousand light years from Earth, in deep space, something is happening that the human mind cannot yet comprehend and fully understand. We tried to tell as simply as possible about what amazing things are happening outside the solar system.

Dark energy

In 1998, NASA scientists using the Hubble Telescope determined that the Universe is, in fact, expanding much faster than previously thought. Astronomers have concluded that interstellar space is almost 70% filled with some kind of “energy liquid.”

The study of this “filler” allowed scientists to conclude that the constantly expanding space in some incomprehensible way produces its own energy, which accelerates this very process of expansion. The nature of the origin of dark energy has not yet been studied. All we know is that she is completely invisible.

And since 70% of space is filled with it, another 25% with dark matter, it turns out that 95% of the Universe for humanity is still a “dark forest”. This is how the pun turns out. If you try to realize the fact that we know practically nothing about space, it becomes somehow uneasy...

Great center of attraction

Each of us has ever had a nightmare about a terrible trap from which it is impossible to escape. In fact, we are living in this nightmare: the Milky Way and other galaxies are approaching a region of space at a speed of 2.2 million kilometers per hour, about which we know absolutely nothing. We only know that there is something there with monstrous gravity. Scientists called this area the Great Center of Attraction.

Hundreds of astronomers believe that it is in this place that sooner or later all stars, planets and other space objects find their death. It is impossible to see anything in this area even with the help of modern telescopes, since the Great Center of Gravity is hidden from our view by millions of stars and huge clouds of cosmic dust.

Scientists jokingly call him a "cosmic serial killer" who drags his victims into a van with dirty windows that make it impossible to see what's going on inside.

Star KIC 8462852


Modern scientists search for new objects in space this way: they measure the amount of light that comes from a star, and if a planet flashes past, the brightness of the radiation decreases. The frequency and duration of the decrease in the intensity of stellar radiation allows us to draw tentative conclusions about the nature of the planet.

The star KIC 8462852 is located in the constellation Cygnus at a distance of about 1400 light years from Earth. From time to time it fades by more than 20%. This fact can only be explained by the fact that it is obscured by a planet passing in its orbit. American physicist Freeman Dyson suggested in the 60s that this could be caused by the construction of a serious orbital structure by some intelligent creatures. According to his assumption, aliens launched a swarm of satellites into orbit of their planet to absorb the light emitted by the star.

Of course, there is no exact evidence of the veracity of this guess, but anything is possible. Moreover, in his research, Dyson quite clearly puts everything into perspective. Most of his colleagues believe that such a phenomenon is still not associated with orbital technology built by aliens - the cause of the systematic dimming of the star is most likely the accumulation of asteroids and comet remnants.

Eridanus Supervoid

For the first time, astronomers started talking about a supervoid in the constellation Eridanus after they began studying the cosmic microwave background. During those studies, a simply huge section of outer space was discovered (about one billion light years in diameter), inside which there is practically no dark matter and energy.

It is quite possible that humanity has encountered some kind of “door” to a parallel Universe, since according to the existing theory, absolute emptiness does not exist in space.

Zombie stars

This, of course, is a comic name for a special type of star, but they actually exist. After a supernova explosion, some white dwarfs survive. They pull hydrogen from stars located in close proximity and continue to glow quite brightly for some time. The powerful X-ray radiation is very similar to the “scream” that zombie stars make as they “devour” their neighbors.

These cosmic “living dead” do not pose any danger to the lives of earthlings - having reached a critical mass, they explode and disappear forever.
