Almighty Allah
created the universe from a single point with a huge explosion. While all other
explosions damage the existing order, the 300 billion galaxies in the universe
emerged from zero volume, nothing in other words, with this explosion, known as
the Big Bang. The Galaxy (Milky Way) we live in is just one of these 300
billion galaxies. There are 250 billion stars in the Milky Way. The sun is one
of these 250 billion stars.
Allah has created the Earth as a living space within the
boundless universe. We live on a world that occupies almost no place at all
within infinity. In fact, not just our Earth but even our galaxy occupies a
tiny place in the universe.
This is
the picture of stars in the space. It is seen that these stars are very crowded
and congested in space. Our this belief is not real and true. Now looking at
the reality, the average distance of stars are 5 light years.
How much
distance this 5 light years occupies?
The speed of
light is 3,00,000 km in a second.
Light
travels 48 trillion km in 5 years.
What is 48
trillion?
48
trillion = 48 thousand billion*.
This is
the distance only between two stars.
(*In the American system one billion is 1,000,000,000 and
a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 so one trillion is one thousand
times one billion.)
There are
250 billions stars in our galaxy. One can not imagine the diameter of galaxy if it is occupies 250
billion stars. How many galaxies are there in our universe? There are 300 billions galaxies in observable
universe.
How much
distance is between two galaxies?
Our
galaxy is Milky Way galaxy, it has a neighbor galaxy named Andromeda galaxy. Andromeda galaxy is
2.2 million light years away from us.
The
farthest galaxy seen is about 13 billion light years away.
How big is the
universe in light years?
It is estimated that
the diameter of the observable universe is about 28.5 gigaparsecs (93
billion light-years, 8.8×1023 kilometres or 5.5×1023 miles),
putting the edge of the observable universe at about 46.5 billion light-years
away. This is only estimation of
observable universe.
Can anybody imagine
the diameter of 93 billion light years?
Allah has created
this universe with a
Single command "Be!" and it is.
This is the
power of Almighty Allah.
