What's inside space?

B11_ Is space empty? If no then what's in it 
___________________________________________________

100 km above the Earth's surface , lies the Karman line, beyond which there's a vast entity which we know as outer space (Or simply space) .
Now , In schools we are taught that space is a hard vacuum and not a perfect 👌 one (contains nothing ) ,why not perfect ? It means that there's is something  inside space ? And what's it ?  🌌
_________________________________________________

Space contains_ planets , stars , comets ,asteroids and what not .Each celestial body has it's own gravity and atmosphere, but we are not going to talk about the above mentioned bodies . These bodies are several millions ( or billions ) of lightyears apart . We will learn what's in the space between these bodies . 

Here, the notion "Air is Everywhere" is falsified  because there's no air in space.  (that's why you can't breathe there 😐, or worse... you'll keep shouting and even an astronaut  few centimeters away from you will not hear you )
Such a hard vacuum contains few things in low densities that most people don't know. Don't worry 😉 keep reading I'll tell you . 
_________________________________________________

 The following things are inside space _

1. PLASMA The fourth state of matter 


 Plasma is considered as the fourth state of matter. It is nothing but a gas cloud heated to such a high temperature 🔥 such that all its constituent atoms are split into ions and electrons. 
■ 99.99% of the visible universe is plasma of Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He)

2. EM Radiation like light 


Ya obviously 🙄  EM waves like light (RMIVUXG rays) are always travelling through space at a speed of 299,792 km/sec 

3. Magnetic Fields 🧲🧲🧲🧲

Planets like Earth are themselves a huge magnet by the virtue of which magnetic fields travel all around in space , even beyond their respective atmosphere . Moreover , low density of moving electric charges also create magnetic fields in space 

4. Neutrinos  ⚛⚛⚛


Low energy particles that are hard to detect , and have a temperatureof around 1.97 Kelvin.
These are byproducts or relics of the Big (Gang) Bang theory . Since, these particles do not interact with matter easily they are still present 14 billion years 

5. Cosmic Dust  Normal dust particles,lucky enough to go on a space tour 

Size : 100 micrometers 
These little @$!*% cluster up to make large sized meteorites ☄

6. Cosmic Rays ☀️☀️☀️☀️

These are alpha particles and protons having very high energy travelling through space with around nearly the speed of light ( just 299,792 kmps 😏)
These particles are usually emitted from sun outside our solar system and distant galaxies .
OK

Wormhole travel and Lightspeed Paradox

B14_ The title might seem very hectic but this blog is actually quite simple , with terms explained in layman language, so just give it a go . Hope you enjoy it . One thing is for sure , you'll be able to understand the plot of INTERSTELLAR easily after reading this 👍 _________________________________________________ WORMHOLES : WHAT? Wormholes are also called Einstein-Rosen Bridge  , named after the very famous scientists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.    Do one thing , take a paper and mark 2 points some distance apart on it . Now what's the shortest distance to take so that one reaches from point A to B in smallest amount of time,  you might think wtf I am talking about , its a straight line but NO , if you are "very smort" you might as well think it's a brachistochrone curve , I'll deny to that as well. Think out of the 2 dimensions of the paper and create a new dimension that is 3D . Roll the paper and create a hole with your ...

Billionaires and Their Favourite Foods

    Photo Courtesy: Author  B20_ Billionaires and their favourite foods        Recently, I had a strange dream which seemed very real. In my dream I was seated besides Steve Jobs,  Elon Musk,  Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, and all of us were having dinner. Salt Bae and Gordon Ramsay served us the delicious food and we enjoyed the meal. When I woke up it seemed that I was inside a dream,  just like Leonardo Dicaprio was in Inception.     Therefore, I thought that it would be a nice idea to read and write about the favourite foods of some billionaires.     Just wait to know Jeff Bezos' and Steve Jobs' most relished dish. 1. Bill Gates       Bill Gates just loves eating burgers 🍔 , no matter what's inside it. As long it is a burger it's the favourite food of the former Microsoft CEO & Co Founder Bill Gates. He loves to devour cheeseburgers , veg burgers , hamburgers and now ...

Why isn't anything FASTER than Light ?

     B18_Why can't we go faster than light?            Alright, Alright, Alright. _________________________ While driving,there's a speed limit, you can't go faster than that, technically you can go faster , but you won't.      Well there's a universal speed limit which can never be broken. Absolutely nothing in this whole universe can go faster than that , The speed of light 299,792,458 m/s. Here's why... PHOTONS ARE MASSLESS     Photo Courtesy: The Great Courses Daily     Photons(carriers of electromagnetism) and gluons (carriers of strong force) are the only two particles that have no mass , and therefore travel at the ultimate speed of light.      All other particles have some mass , hence can't be accelerated anywhere near light. Attaining lightspeed is like pushing a trolley   Consider a situation_ you are pushing a trolley and wish to take it's speed to lig...
