Are We Doomed?

Welcome back guys, Thanks for tuning in with TMC.

Life on Earth has always gone through extreme circumstances and in the process more than thrice the number of species that are present today have wiped out, leaving only those who could thrive in those extreme circumstances, and that's what we call evolution.

This is the basic principle in the cycle of creation i.e. a new thing comes into existence only if the previous ones are doomed or in the verge of extinction. We often say that many species of flora and fauna are endangered etc, but, have we ever thought of ourselves in the list? Well the answer is YES, we have and we have found the entire life on Earth can wipe out any second.

Asteroids  meteorites are always a threat to us, they are found in abundance and their length varies from a few kilometers to 100 km.  The space rock that is thought to have wiped the dinosaurs was just 16 km long! Just imagine if a asteroid having a diameter of around 50km hits the Earth what might happen? Perhaps everything might be destroyed, even water! and the blue planet would appear like a ball of fire ( if there would be anyone to see it! xD).

This doesn't end here, the Sun also seems to be a threat, it has completed half its life cycle and it will become a red giant and its radius would expand near the Earth's orbit, but still we have a lot of time nearly around 5 billion years!

So that's for today!

A new planet out there?

On Jan. 20, 2016, scientists announced the discovery of what could be a giant planet in the Kuiper Belt at the outer edge of our solar system. Nicknamed "Planet Nine," the world is a behemoth - about 10 times the mass of the Earth. It would take the planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to orbit the sun. The evidence for existence of Planet-9. Evidence for Planet Nine was unveiled by researchers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The scientists used mathematical modeling and computer simulations to make the find, but have not actually observed the planet directly.

Dark Matter

Dark matter , doesn't the word relates to something mysterious out there?, Something which is revolving around our minds? Well actually it does!. The question that comes into the mind is "what do we mean by dark matter"? Dark matter refers to the hypothetical invisible substance in the universe. The universe has fixed shape(as it can be curved by mass) , so where did this mass come from? We know that galaxies also have a fixed shape ,though it changes slightly, but the overall picture seems to be more or less similar because they are bound to that shape. This shape, the curve due to mass, the "extra mass" all this points to something that is missing out there!! this is referred to as dark matter. Dark because  it is invisible to us and matter because it has mass and occupies the empty space in the universe and provides those galactic bodies a support structure.
