Why Do We Exist.
"Why does this world exist", "what is the reason behind all this", "Is there something like GOD","why do I even exist" I am sure some of you would have asked this question to yourself at least once.This question is asked my many of us specially when they are upset or sad, you may have noticed that this question was being asked by many since the time humans started to think, and it is still unanswered.This question seems to be very basic and simple but I think this is THE biggest question that we ever have faced.
You can say "this Question is just a brain-child of some new age geeks" But we humans have always had a default curiosity and we are always trying to understand our surroundings, the same is with this question people have been trying to answer it using religion, spirituality and Of course SCIENCE.
It is obvious that space science( Astronomy, Cosmology whatever you may call it) is the oldest science as even ancient civilizations had good knowledge of the sky they could see with naked eyes. Gradually as our science kept advancing and we continued to develop we have understood and discovered a lot about our universe but it seems the more we discover there is always a lot more to discover and the more we understand the more we are left to amaze and wonder.

If you are intreseted in science and like reading about new discoveries and theories than you would agree that new discoveries being made in Cosmology and new theories of Quantum Physics are only adding to the incomprehensibility of our world, take a look at the following examples:-
1-According to Nick Bostrom, Director, Future of Humanity Institute Professor, Faculty of Philosophy & James Martin 21st Century School Oxford University, there are 20% chances that we are living in a "Ancestor simulation" i.e. detailed simulations of simulator's predecessors. According to him Future civilizations will have enough computing power to create an ancestor simulator, detailed enough for computer- generated minds to be conscious and have same kind of experiences/emotions as we have.

2:-According to some calculations done by cosmoligist in year 2007/08 there is a strong possibility that our whole world is merely an illusion and we all (our conscoiuness )is just an momentary fluctuation in a field of matter and energy in space.

These are only 2 of many possibilities.No one knows for sure (I guess) that what is the reality but Einstein rightly said "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious."
I agree that there is a magical feeling in this mystery.
Perhaps we will never be able to know the reason behind our existance, But who knows may be there is no reason.

Speaking in simple language as you may know universe comprises of all the things that exist like our earth, our solar system, our galaxy, billions of other galaxies and many other things which are both intresting and mindblowingly amazing like Black-holes.
The approximate age of our universe is around 13 BILLION years (i.e. 13000000000 years), and there are more than 100 BILLION GALAXIES in the observable universe( that part of the universe that we can observe from earth in the present day.) The universe as we know it is the result of BIG BANG.Scientiest believe that around 13 billions years ago all the mass of universe was contained in a small area and after ix exploded the universe started to expand (It still does).
The universe is very large and possibly infinite. Just think about it:-
Sun (which is an average star) has adiameter 109 times that of earth) is one of 200 to 400 Billion stars of our Milky Way, which is infact one of 100 billion galaxies in this universe,
Infact there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth.
If you are amazed (even if not) there is a further possibility that our UNIVERSE itself is one of many universes in a MULTiVERSE system.
There is on quote of Albert Einstein that describes it all
"The only thing incomprehensible(something that can't be understood ) is that it is comprehensible (understandable)."
As this blog moves on you will come to know more about universe & in case there is something You know and want to sharel I beg you please tell me and others.
