Big Bang - The creator of this Universe?

Nowadays almost everyone is familiar with the word "BIG BANG" reason being The Big Bang Theory series, but only few know what big bang actually means. The word Big Bang literally means very big/huge blast which many(including myself) believe to be the cause of the creation of this universe.

Basically most of the people supporting the big bang theory believe this whole universe began from a single singularity and our universe came into existence as the singularity expanded. In simple terms, about 14 billion years ago Big Bang happens prior to this all the matters and spacial energy were the part of the singularity(whatever existed before the big bang) although everything we see in this cosmos wasn't in the singularity, big bang certainly became the foundation of the creations we see today.
Edwin Hubble was the first to come up with the idea of Big Bang. He observed that the universe is constantly expanding and the velocity of a galaxy is proportional to its distance. He also found that the greater the distance of galaxy, the greater the speed of it. After analyzing all this, he came to a conclusion The Big Bang Theory. There are several evidence to support this theory like discovery of cosmic microwave background and the distribution of large cosmic structures but the earliest and the best evidence is the constant expansion of the universe. Since this theory has some evidences to support itself, it has more problems to it than its evidences. Many scientific problems also have arisen due to the creation of Big Bang Theory some of them has been solved over time but some exists up to this day. There are many theory which disproves big bang like Baryon asymmetry, existence of dark matter, horizon problem, flatness problem and many more. Although how the universe came in to existence is not known, we sure are glad that we exist.

Types of black holes.

There are a lot of mysteries which revolves around a black hole. Nobody has ever seen a black hole but we certainly know a thing or two about black holes. So following are the multiple types of Black Hole : - 1. Stellar black hole. Stellar black hole or stellar mass black hole forms when a massive star dies. For a star to form a black hole, it has to be multiple times greater than "our" sun as our sun is way too small to form a black hole when it runs out of fuel. Generally a stellar black hole has about 3 to 10 solar masses. Most of the black holes found till now fall under the category of stellar mass black hole. 2. Supermassive black hole. It is a rarely found black hole mostly located in the centre of the galaxies including our own. As of now, we don't know how a supermassive black hole forms. A supermassive black hole has its mass ranging from millions to billion solar masses. Although we don't know how a supermassive black hole comes into ex...

Life of a star

Sun, a star which is the source of all the life forms on earth is a star, a star which have only half of its life left. So you might be wondering what happens when a star dies, thus following are the whole life cycle of a star :- 1. Nebula. Nebula is basically a lump of dust which consisting hydrogen, helium and many other gases. It is a the first phase of a star or could be said as it's birth place as well. When a nebula collapses, all its gases and dusts combines to form another celestial body called as "Star". 2. Star. This is the infancy period of a star. Star is sphere of plasma born from nebulae which contains gases like hydrogen and lithium. The temperature of a star varies from 2,000° C to  30,000° C. A star produces its own heat and light due to the continuous nuclear fusion.  3. Red Giant. As the time passes, the surface of a star becomes colder while it's size increases. Despite of having a cold surface, it shine many times brighter than its previous...

What happens inside a black hole.

Although the most likely scenario to happen when someone is inside a black hole is his/her death. But as black holes are not fully understood yet and still compromises o multiple mysteries. Thus following are some of the theories that provides possible ideas about what happens inside a block hole :- 1. The body of a person will be stretched like a spaghetti. "Spaghettification" as the name suggests refers to the process of stretching of a body like due to high gravitational force until the body becomes like a spaghetti. Scientists have proposed that when a body enters the event horizon of a black hole, it gets stretched due to the tidal forces. Because of the huge gravitational pressure which is being applied on the body will result in ripping it apart into tiny pieces. Spaghettification also known as noodle effect is so brief that the body will vanish before it realises that it's being shaped like a spaghetti. 2. White Hole. As white holes are t...
