Thiran PereraPublished 3 months ago in Earth5 Most BEAUTIFUL Places UNTOUCHED By Humankind
The world is a magnificent place and it never fails to amaze us. From the tallest mountain to the deepest trenches, we have often stared in awe and wonderment at how Mother Nature can create such beautiful landscapes that seem to come right off the pages of a high fantasy novel. However, despite all the awe and wonderment, mankind - as our species progressed throughout the millennia - has indiscriminately trampled on plenty of nature's works of art. We have re-sculpted mountains and uprooted trees to pave freeways and erect apartment complexes and gigantic malls all in the name of industry. It's quite tragic that Mother Nature has to take big hits and blows from what we have done but she does have a way of keeping the best things away from man's indiscriminate and destructive behavior. There simply are places that - thanks to their geography and climate conditions - have kept mankind at bay and are well preserved in their marvelous states.

While Mr Bean probably wouldn’t have been aware of, or particularly interested in the procedures of British Parliament, I am sure Edmund Blackadder most definitely would, especially if he was labelled as a decisive factor. It seems we’ve reached the point where expressing a single personal opinion is enough to get someone entangled into a legislative conundrum, so much so that he gets named as damaging to the entire climate action.

In the world of Eridia, where the sky was perpetually shrouded in thick clouds of pollution and the ground cracked under the weight of industrialization, there lived a young woman named Lyra. She had grown up in a city where the only green she knew was the artificial foliage adorning the windows of skyscrapers, and the only scent of nature was the synthetic fragrance pumped through ventilation systems.
Joseph Rey BauraPublished 3 months ago in EarthHOW WILL OUR UNIVERSE END
How will our universe end? Big Crunch Theory Of course, I'm referring to the Big Bang, which is what truly started everything again. Most people have heard of it, but what about the Big Crunch? I'm not talking about some weird candy bar here. We've all heard of the Big Bang, and I'm extremely sorry that the series has finished. There is still debate among scientists on how the universe will ultimately end, despite the fact that most of them believe it was created by a tremendous burst of energy. . There are many theories, like the big fries and the big rip, but the big crunch is thought to be the most likely scenario. So what is the Big Crunch? The Big Crunch Theory has its foundations in general relativity theory by Einstein Everything in life is ebb and flow; if the universe expands due to the Big Bang, then eventually the opposite will become true. Once the universe reaches its largest size, depending on the amount of energy present, it will start to collapse in on itself and eventually form a massive black hole that contains all matter because of the conditions that are present in the singularity of the size. Everything will be squashed down to a tiny size, which is why it is called the Big Crunch. This is probably not great news for all those of you who are a class apart and have a tendency to live billions of years. The good news is that although the Big Crunch is likely, there is a dilemma for people who devote their careers to answering questions like these. We still don't fully understand everything in the universe, and there are still certain unanswered questions that could determine our final destiny. First, it seems that two causes are interacting to cause the universe to expand. density and external momentum The more density there is in the universe, the more gravitational forces there are, since density and gravity are directly correlated. This alone would imply that everything will ultimately converge on everything. The problem with this, however, is that observations of the universe have shown that things aren't behaving as simply as we would expect. The outer reaches appear to be expanding at a faster rate than those closer to us, and galaxies are actually moving farther apart from one another. Scientists don't know why this is happening, but they have given this extra element in the expansion of the universe a name: dark energy. Even though there is no friction in space, the Big Crunch is still unavoidable since all matter would essentially return to its original location due to gravity's strong pull against the Big Bang's initial outward motion. However, there are two possible outcomes: either everything will expand indefinitely or objects will be so far apart from one another that everything will freeze and we will still face a big crunch. The amount of dark energy present will determine whether or not everything expands; if there is enough, which some scientists believe may be the case, then everything will continue to expand; if not, then gravity will eventually overcome the effect and bring everything back together. In a 2015 article, it was stated that the current accelerated rates of expansion are the last gasp of the expanding universe, contrary to some who believe the seeming prevalence of dark energy could easily indicate the beginning of the Big Crunch, which is the final gasp of the expanding universe, and that the contraction will start in tens of billions of years. In that case, how would the Big Crunch occur? Assuming that there isn't enough dark energy and that the Big Crunch occurs, it won't be as spectacular as the Big Bang was. The universe will begin to contract evenly because matter is more or less distributed consistently; this would be a slow process that would eventually pick up speed as galaxies get closer to one another and the effects of gravity become more pronounced in roughly 100 billion years. At that point, things would reach a climax temperature, which would cause star explosions, vaporizations, and the disintegration of all objects into their constituent atoms, which would then start to disintegrate in the final stages as all matter from the universe compacted into a small space. This will cause extreme chaos, according to some predictions, to the point where space-time becomes so warped that it breaks into droplets, rendering all concepts of time, distance, and direction meaningless. Of course, no living thing could have survived this far; we would all have been doomed long before this, so given our incomplete understanding of the processes occurring in the universe, it is impossible to predict with certainty how everything will end. One of the scenarios is the Big Crunch, in which all matter returns to its original location, leaving just an enormous black hole. What happens at that moment is totally up in the air, but it's possible that a new universe could be born. It's also possible that all of this has already occurred multiple times and that the period we are living in is only the latest in a long series of cyclical expansions and contractions. In this case, only those of you who hope to live for billions of years will truly need to be concerned.

Yellowstone National Park, with its breathtaking geysers and rejuvenating hot springs, is more than just a picturesque landscape; it sits atop a colossal super volcano. Beneath the park's surface lies a massive magma chamber, discovered by researchers from the University of Utah in 2015 to be even larger than previously estimated. This cavernous chamber, accompanied by an additional reservoir, boasts enough magma to fill the Grand Canyon not once, but an astonishing 11 times over.
Marjie CrossmanPublished 3 months ago in EarthHypothesis behind End of universe!!
Yet again we've all caught wind of the huge explosion and I'm truly miserable that the series has finished well here obviously I'm discussing the Enormous detonation that truly begun all that again the vast majority have known about that yet what do you are familiar the Large Crunch and presently I'm not discussing some irregular sweet treat while most researchers accept that our universe started with a gigantic eruption of energy sentiments stay partitioned about how everything will one day reach a conclusion there's a scope of speculations, for example, the large fries and the large tear yet the one that is viewed as the most probable situation is the Huge Crunch so what is the Large Crunch yet the Large Crunch Hypothesis has its underlying foundations in Einstein's hypothesis of general relativity all that in life follows a rhythmic movement when one occasion happens the converse is probably going to happen in the wake of stirring things up around town in the event that the Huge explosion causes the development of the universe, in the end the contrary will turn out to be valid once the universe has arrived at its biggest size not entirely settled by how much energy that is available it will start to be imploded in on itself and in the end structure a monstrous dark opening that contains all matter because of the circumstances that are available in the peculiarity of the size all that will be crushed down to a miniscule size which is the reason it's known as the Enormous Crunch so presumably not extraordinary news for every one of those of you who are a class or for bacon and will more often than not live billions of years well here's the uplifting news while the math proposes that the Enormous Crunch is conceivable and, surprisingly, plausible There's an issue for the people who commit their vocations to understanding inquiries like this. We don't yet completely grasp everything in the universe, and there are several questions that will influence our definitive destiny. First, the universe's extension gives off the impression of being the exchange of two variables: thickness and outward force. thickness has an immediate relationship to how much gravity that is available so the denser the universe is the more gravitational powers that occur this all alone would imply that all that will ultimately float towards all the other things and the last Large Crunch turns into a certainty in spite of the fact that there's no rubbing in space the impact of gravity would be all that anyone could need to check the underlying outward energy brought about by the Enormous detonation and all matter what basically got back to where come from the issue with this however is that perceptions of the universe have shown that things aren't acting as essentially as we would expect the external ranges give off an impression of being extending at a quicker rate than those nearer to us and cosmic systems are truly moving further separated from one another researchers don't have any idea why this is occurring yet they have given a name to this obscure substance dim energy this additional component in the development of the universe really intends that there are two potential results it will either keep on growing perpetually and items will be so far separated from one another that all that will freeze were we may as yet confronted a Major Crunch the deciding element is how much dim energy are truly there on the off chance that there is enough which a few researchers accept could be the situation, all that will keep on extending on the off chance that there isn't enough however then, at that point, the powers of gravity will ultimately over remark and unite all that back again some accept the appearing predominance of dull energy could well flag the start of the Large Crunch anyway in a report delivered in 2015 it was recommended that the flow expanded paces of development is the last heave of the growing universe and that inside huge number of years the constriction will start so how might the Enormous Crunch occur in the event that we expect that there isn't sufficient dim energy and that the Huge Crunch happens then it will not be however dynamite as the Enormous detonation might have been the universe will start to contract equally in light of the fact that matter is pretty much conveyed reliably it would be a sluggish cycle for what start to slowly get a move on as worlds drew nearer to each other and the powers of gravity have a greater amount of an impact in around a hundred billion years from this point as things reach and peak temperatures would fundamentally increment in this will bring about stars detonating and in disintegrating and all articles will be broken down into their constituent molecules which themselves will start to fall to pieces in the last stages as all matter from the universe compacts into a little space things will turn out to be very turbulent to such an extent that a few forecasts propose as space-time will turn out to be distorted to the point that it would break into drops meaning all ideas of time distance and a heading would become futile obviously no residing organic entity would have had the option to make due to this point in we would have all been ill-fated quite a while before this so with our absence of full comprehension of the cycle occurring in the universe it's difficult to be aware without a doubt the way that all that will end one of the situation is the Huge Crunch which will see each piece of the matter getting back to where it began in and all that will stay to be an impossibly enormous dark opening What occurs by then is truly impossible to say, and it might actually see the introduction of another universe. It's likewise conceivable that this has generally happened various times as of now, and we're alive in simply one more in a long queue of repetitive extensions and compressions. Again, just those of you who've wanted to be alive for billions of years will truly need to stress over this.
