Parallel Universe is real: scientists announce shocking discovery
Astronomers have mathematically proved that a parallel Universe is not just a theoretical assumption, but a very real phenomenon. The researchers suggest that the existence of other universes can be explained by two main mechanisms: cosmic inflation in the early stages of the formation of our Universe by taccumulation processes, according to the theory of many worlds.
"The idea of parallel universes has a scientific basis," the scientists note. "Cosmic inflation in the early stages of the Universe's development could have created numerous realities with unique physical laws. These universes are beyond our observation and are moving away faster than the speed of light, making them unreachable for contact."
Thus, modern research has brought humanity even closer to solving one of the greatest mysteries of the cosmos.
Parallel universes and time travel: scientific theories and paradoxes
According to one of the hypotheses of quantum mechanics, every random quantum event that has several possible outcomes can lead to the creation of a separate branch of reality. This means that parallel universes exist, and in each of them, events develop according to a different scenario depending on the choices made or random changes at the microscopic level.
At the same time, the idea of moving between such alternative realities remains the subject of numerous discussions. One of the possible ways to get to another universe could theoretically be to create a time machine. However, this possibility gives rise to a number of paradoxes, among which one of the most famous is the "grandfather paradox." It implies a situation where traveling back in time can change the course of events, leading to logical contradictions.
Famous scientists, including Stephen Hawking and Igor Novikov, have offered their own explanations for this phenomenon. Their theories range from the assumption that time travel is impossible to the idea that it is possible to return to the past, but without the ability to change events that are already known.
Time travel and new discoveries by astronomers
One interesting theory suggests that traveling back in time does not change our reality, but only creates an alternative branch of the universe where events occur according to a different scenario. Thus, the history of our world remains unchanged. However, these hypotheses have not yet been scientifically confirmed, as the current level of technology does not allow for time travel. In addition, there are physical limitations that make it difficult to study this phenomenon. Despite the fact that the concept of parallel universes and time travel is fascinating, it remains in the realm of theoretical research. However, future scientific progress may bring us closer to understanding these phenomena.
Discovery of a potentially habitable exoplanet
Recently, scientists have made another sensational discovery - they have discovered a planet that may be habitable and located relatively close to Earth.
Three decades have passed since the discovery of the first exoplanet (a planet outside the solar system), and today astronomers know of more than 7,000 such objects in our galaxy. Now researchers are focused on studying their characteristics to find a potentially habitable world.
According to phys.org, citing the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, astronomers are now looking for exoplanets that have special features or are easier to study. One of them is HD 20794 d, which was identified by a group of scientists, including members of the Astronomy Department of the University of Geneva (UNIGE).
The planet HD 20794 d is located in the habitable zone of its star. For comparison, in the Solar System, this range extends from 0.7 to 1.5 AU (one AU is approximately 150 million km). This means that not only the Earth but also Mars are within the habitable zone. Scientists have found that HD 20794 d makes a complete revolution around its star in 647 days, which is 40 days longer than the orbital period of Mars around the Sun.
The researchers also found that the orbit of this exoplanet is not perfectly round, but has the shape of an ellipse. At its most distant point, it is at a distance of 2 AU from its star, and at the nearest point - 0.75 AU. For comparison, the Earth stably orbits the Sun at a distance of 1 AU.
Scientists assume that if there is water on HD 20794 d, then at the moments of maximum proximity to the star, it could change from a frozen state to a liquid state. This, in turn, could create conditions for the emergence of life. Due to the relative proximity of this exoplanet, astronomers are able to thoroughly study its atmosphere and chemical composition, which will help to obtain more accurate data on its potential habitability.
