Eight Universe Mysteries Science CAN’T Solve | ScienceMag June 2012

Srila Prabhupada, New York, September 8, 1966: In spite of distributing for millions of years heat, the reservation of heat in the sun is intact. It is not diminished. But everyone knows that for millions and billions of years the sun is distributing heat. Nobody knows the history, how long. Your distributing center, the powerhouse, if you fail to supply coal or oil, then after one hour the whole New York City will be dark. So just you can imagine who is supplying the fuel in the heat of the sun so that for millions and billions of years the heat of the sun is in the same temperature. Full Lecture

Why Is the Sun’s Corona So Hot?

Richard A. Kerr | Science 1 June 2012:

Yes, the sun is hot—really hot. It’s 16 million kelvin at its fusion-fueled core, cooling, as the second law of thermodynamics requires, to a still-blistering 5780 K at its visible surface. But for the better part of a century, solar physicists have been mystified by the sun’s ability to reheat its corona, the encircling wispy crown of light that emerges from the glare during a total solar eclipse. There, temperatures again soar to 1 million K and more. How would heat dissipating from the core out beyond the surface abruptly punch temperatures up by a factor of 200 and more?

The eight space mysteries science CAN’T solve – from our inside-out sun to the 75% of the universe that has ‘gone missing’

  • Eight mysteries chosen by Science magazine
  • Scientists admit some ‘may never be solved’
  • Three-quarters of the universe is ‘missing’ according to current theories
  • Sun’s outer layer is ‘too hot’ – and no one knows why

Scientists have revealed the eight biggest unanswered questions surrounding our universe.

They range from the mystery of dark matter, which makes up 73% of everything but has never been identified, to questions over why our Sun is so hot.

Formulated by the prestigious journal Science, have all been raised by the leading scientists in their field, each of whom also wrote an essay on the topic.

Most scientists agree that around three-quarters of the universe is missing - in the form of dark matter and dark energy, neither of which we have ever directly detected
Most scientists agree that around three-quarters of the universe is missing – in the form of dark matter and dark energy, neither of which we have ever directly detected. This 3D ‘map’ of dark matter is basically a guess

However, in some cases even the scientists admit some mysteries are unlikely to ever be solved.

The biggest mystery is that of dark matter, which scientists admit may never be solved.

‘Part of the mystery is that we have no clue whether we will be able to find an answer,’ says Simon White, an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Germany.

For a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang, electrons were stripped from atoms - we have no idea why
Huge parts of the history of the universe remain a complete mystery to us: For a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang,
electrons were stripped from atoms – we have no idea why.

THE GREATEST UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE – ACCORDING TO THE SCIENTISTS WHO CAN’T WORK THEM OUT

Dark Energy, which appears to make up 73% of everything that exists, and still it can’t be seen, or even measured. The energy is ‘needed’ to balance out the mathematics of the universe, but may not ever be able to be detected.
Dark Matter, which is closely linked to Dark Energy, is the term used to describe the ‘glue’ which holds everything in the universe together.
However, Adrian Cho, who wrote Science’s essay on the subject, believes that unlike dark energy, scientists stand a reasonably good chance of one day actually detecting a particle of the stuff.

Where are the missing baryons? Baryons are particles that make unormal  matter, but for some reason when adding up dark energy, dark matter and then leaving the rest to baryons, researchers can’t come up with a number that equals 100% – hence the mystery

Why do stars explode? Many of the processes of star formation and solar system formation are known – but researchers admit they still don’t what is known as a supernova.

What re-ionized the universe? For a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang, electrons were stripped from atoms – we have no idea why.

What is the source of the most energetic cosmic rays? We’re bombarded with them every day, yet researchers can’t agree on where they come from. Our atmosphere shields us from most of the rays.

Why is our solar system so odd? Did our solar system form the way it did by following logical steps, or was it all just chaos and chance? Nobody really knows.

Why is the sun’s corona so hot? Those that study the sun still really don’t know. The corona is the furthest layer from the sun’s core, but it’s still incredibly hot – and the reasons for this strange ‘layering’
of our nearest star are still a mystery.

    pamho agtACBSP, this is the power of God – although HE is everywhere outside and inside everything – yet, mental speculators can’t understand through their tiny brain.

    They can’t catch the truth how this sacred universe is managed.

    It is said that at the end of this creation the sun becomes twelve times more scorching than usual.

    “If there is dissolution of this universe, everything will be destroyed, but again, when there will be creation, all the species of life, they’ll take birth in the same way if they have not fulfilled their mission. The mission is that living entities are given chance to develop consciousness. They develop consciousness from the lowest form of life up to the brightest and the most intellectual form of life like Brahmā, and above that also, transcendental. That is called spiritual consciousness, or Krishna consciousness.”
    (Boston, April 28, 1969)

    We better go on sincerely chanting the maha mantra Hare Krishna to achieve a secure destination in the eternal service to SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA.
