Self-Fulfilling Impossibilities

The common people speak of impossibilities too often at times with very little understanding of the — possibilities. The Sun can fit one million Earths inside it. The Sun is just one of about 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. There are maybe 100 billion galaxies detectable by our telescopes. So if each star was the size of a single grain of sand, just the Milky Way has enough stars to fill a 30-foot by 30-foot stretch of beach 3 feet deep with sand, and the entire Earth doesn’t have enough beaches to represent the stars in the overall universe. Such a beach would continue for literally hundreds of millions of miles. Physicists believe the 100 billion galaxies within range of our telescopes are probably a minuscule fraction of the total. The leading version of string theory predicts a multiverse made up of 10 to the 500 universes. That’s a one followed by 500 zeros.

We, humans, know very little of the 4% of `observable universe` in which we live in. According to the current theories, the quantum fluctuations in the vacuum of space ought to have 120 orders of magnitude more energy than we observe. Solving the mystery of that missing energy may entirely rewrite our understanding of physics and the universe. We struggle in our times with the physics…
