The Universe's Biggest Secrets: Galaxies, Black Holes & Mars!
Explore the Cosmos: From the Milky Way to IC 1101, the Largest Galaxy, and Beyond!Embark on a cosmic journey exploring the universe's immense scale, starting with our own Milky Way galaxy. Discover the recently revised, staggering 1.9 million light-year diameter of our galactic home, dwarfing previous estimations. But the Milky Way is just a speck compared to IC 1101, the largest known galaxy, spanning a mind-boggling 6 million light-years! This supergiant galaxy, a cD galaxy in the Abell 2029 supercluster, contains roughly 100 trillion stars – dwarfing the Milky Way’s 200-400 billion. Learn about its discovery by William Herschel in 1790 and its classification by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1895. Witness the projected future merger of the Milky Way with Andromeda, creating Milkomeda, offering a glimpse into IC 1101's likely formation through similar galactic mergers. IC 1101's size dwarfs not only the Milky Way, but also Andromeda, the Magellanic Clouds, and the Triangulum Galaxy, encompassing almost the entire Local Group. This video delves into the details of IC 1101, including its population of old stars, red and white dwarfs, and its central supermassive black hole potentially exceeding 100 billion solar masses, potentially surpassing even TON 618. The video discusses the galaxy's mysterious dark matter content and its slow, dying state, fueled by consuming neighboring galaxies. We also explore the vastness of the universe, the possibility of rogue planets, collisions of celestial bodies and their potential impact on Earth, the Earth-Moon formation theory involving Theia, and the likelihood of future instability in our own solar system, as projected by supercomputer simulations. Discover the surprising cheapness of India's Mars Orbiter Mission, Mangalyaan, costing a mere $74 million, and its stunning images of Mars, including Valles Marineris, Olympus Mons, Arsia Mons, Phobos, and Gale Crater. The video challenges our understanding of the universe, questioning the Big Bang theory and the concept of singularity. Explore alternative theories suggesting a pre-Big Bang universe, a "Janus" universe with reversed time, and the possibility of universes emerging from black holes. We delve into the complexities of quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, quantum field theory, and string theory, including its requirement for 10 dimensions. The video examines the mysteries of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the World Ocean, highlighting its extreme depth and the challenges of measuring it accurately. This in-depth exploration of cosmic scales, galactic structures, planetary interactions, the mysteries of the universe's origin, and quantum physics is sure to expand your understanding of the cosmos and our place within it. space cosmology astronomy galaxy IC1101 MilkyWay Andromeda blackhole darkmatter BigBang singularity quantumphysics stringtheory Mars Mangalyaan MarianaTrench universe planets stars NASA ESA India science physics astrophotography deepsea exploration cosmonautics supercomputer simulation solarSystem Milkdomeda Theia Phobos OlympusMons VallesMarineris ArsiaMons Nebula AbellCatalog LocalGroup VirgoSupercluster ChallengerDeep HeisenbergUncertaintyPrinciple QuantumFieldTheory Hawking Dreyer Herschel Methuselah
