Are we alone in the Universe?
Author: Zahid Ikram
This is one of humanity’s most fundamental and persistent questions. The answer has always seemed, until recently, elusive and out of reach. But this is beginning to change.

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَـٰوَٲتٍ۬ وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِثۡلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ بَيۡنَہُنَّ لِتَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ قَدِيرٌ۬ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدۡ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عِلۡمَۢا (١٢)

[065:012] God is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that God has power over all things, and that God comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge.

خدا ہی تو ہے جس نے سات آسمان پیدا کئے اور ایسی ہی زمینیں۔ ان میں (خدا کے) حکم اُترتے رہتے ہیں تاکہ تم لوگ جان لو کہ خدا چیز پر قادر ہے۔ اور یہ کہ خدا اپنے علم سے ہر چیز پر احاطہ کئے ہوئے ہے (۱۲)

 

Since long Astronomers have been looking more into deep space, and with better instruments, into the universe around us, and have discovered that planets appear to be quite common in the cosmos, as are the chemical ingredients we know that life seems to require here on Earth.

As we look at planetary and other bodies and ask ourselves whether life might be possible on them, we must be mindful of the variety and adaptability of the life we have found here on Earth. In the case of Mars, we see a planet that shows signs of volcanism, has a dynamic atmosphere and has a history that includes periods during which liquid water has been present on the surface.

Data collected by orbiting spacecraft, landers and rovers have given us conclusive evidence that in the distant past, perhaps billions of years ago, Mars was wetter, warmer and had a thicker atmosphere than it has today. While this tends to suggest that Mars might have been capable of supporting life, it does not tell us that it ever actually did. We do not thoroughly understand how life’s earliest and simplest processes develop, nor do we know how often life develops given the right environmental conditions. Current research aims to give us a better understanding of whether Mars might have had oceans or seas, and if so, how long they existed before the planet became as cold and dry as it is today.

Has there been life on Mars in the past? If so, does it exist there still today? These questions remain open and of keen interest to the astrobiologist. Conditions on the surface of Mars were once much more conducive to the survival of life as we know it.

The average temperature was higher, the atmospheric pressure was greater, and there was plenty of surface water – though exactly how much and how long it remained are important unresolved issues.

Given the ability of hardy microorganisms known as extremophiles to thrive in what appear to us to be very harsh conditions on Earth, the possibility of present-day martian microbes certainly can't be ruled out. Such creatures would most likely have evolved several billion years ago, when Mars was more similar in its climate to Earth, and then perhaps gradually adapted as the environment turned less friendly. In particular, microbial survivors on the Red Planet may have retreated underground where it is warmer, probably wetter, and better shielded from the Sun's harsh ultraviolet rays. The prospects for residual life on Mars appear to have been raised by the announcement, in 2004, of the discovery by the Mars Express orbiter of trace amounts of methane and ammonia in the martian atmosphere.

 

Long ago, it is certain that Mars had liquid water, lots of it, even small oceans and lakes. There is extensive evidence for water on Mars. There are old river valleys and channels and old lake and sea basins. In early 2005, two rover spacecraft on Mars found sedimentary rock that can only be deposited by water. Another spacecraft even photographed a frozen lake of water ice inside a crater on Mars.   
However, there is no liquid water now on the surface of Mars. It is all gone,
(1) sunken into the soil,
(2) frozen into its polar icecaps or craters, and
(3) evaporated into space. 
Two American robot space probes (Spirit and Opportunity) landed on Mars in January 2004 in part to search for water. Both are still operating, still conducting the search. Both have found evidence of past water on Mars.

Our Solar System is located in one spiral arm of a giant pinwheel of almost 500 billion individual stars we call the Milky Way Galaxy.  The Milky Way is in turn, only one of 500 billion or more estimated galaxies in our universe.

Milky Way Galaxy our solar system is in the red mark

 

To examine the entire Milky Way and our place in it.  Do you see where we are?  The Milky Way is a “spiral” galaxy and we are in one of its spiral arms. Look at red mark for our solar system.

A galaxy is a giant rotating clump of stars, gas and space dust in space.  When we say, “giant”, we mean Colossal!  The Milky Way is the name of the galaxy containing our Solar System.  That haze in front of you is stars … billions of individual stars and gas and dust and space rocks.  Their mutual gravitational attraction is pulling them (and us) together. 

The Milky Way galaxy in fact, is estimated to have about 500 billion (500,000,000,000) stars in it.

Remember that each star is a very long way from every other one, so putting 500 billion stars together in a galaxy takes a LOT of room. 

The Milky Way, for example, is at least 100,000 light years in diameter
(that’s 950,000,000,000,000,000,000 km)

We are about 2/3rds out from the center of the Milky Way in one of the spiral arms. Our entire Solar System is flying through space, orbiting the center of the galaxy at the incredible speed of over 900,000 km/hr (560,000 miles/hr). So, even while you think you are standing still on Earth, you are moving at very high speeds. It’s a good thing we have Earth’s gravity holding onto us. In fact, all the stars you see in the sky are orbiting the Milky Way at similar speeds, like a high-speed merry-go-round in space.

(٣٢) يَـٰمَعۡشَرَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ إِنِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ أَن تَنفُذُواْ مِنۡ أَقۡطَارِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنفُذُواْ‌ۚ لَا تَنفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلۡطَـٰنٍ۬ (٣٣)

Ar-Rahman
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

O company of jinn and men, if ye have power to penetrate (all) regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate (them)! Ye will never penetrate them save with (Our) sanction. (33)

سورة الرَّحمٰن
شروع الله کے نام سے جو بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا ہے

اے گروہِ جن وانس اگر تمہیں قدرت ہو کہ آسمان اور زمین کے کناروں سے نکل جاؤ تو نکل جاؤ۔ اور زور کے سوا تم نکل سکنے ہی کے نہیں (۳۳)

 

Our entire Solar System is flying through space, orbiting the center of the galaxy at the incredible speed of over 900,000 km/hr (560,000 miles/hr).  So, even while you think you are standing still on Earth, you are moving at very high speeds.  It’s a good thing we have Earth’s gravity holding onto us.  In fact, all the stars you see in the sky are orbiting the Milky Way at similar speeds, like a high-speed merry-go-round in space.

Can we fly out of our galaxy and beat the speed of 900,000 km/hr 250 km/Sec?

Please remember from the prior journey in past that the fastest speed ever achieved by human beings was 11 km/sec, the speed attained by the Apollo spacecraft.

Well, how many days, weeks, months or years would it take Apollo (or you) to reach the nearest star to Earth (aside from our own sun)? 

You should have discovered that to reach the nearest star to us at the fastest speed ever achieved by people, would take you … over 115,000 years!  That is almost 6,000 generations … of your children, and grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and their children’s children’s children’s children … watching out your ship’s front window … living and dying … century after century, millennia after millennia.  115,000 years … just to reach the closest star to us.  That is 20 times longer than all of human recorded history, back to the days of our most ancient civilizations … 20 times longer!  If you left Earth at the time of the ancient Greeks 4,000 years ago, you would only be less than 4% of the way to the star by now.

Now can you think to fly out of our Milky Way Galaxy?

If traveling at the fastest speed ever reached by humans, it would take you over 2.7 BILLION YEARS to cross our galaxy from one side to another.  By car, it would take you … 1,100 TRILLION years!  God Almighty is great.

Please consider what this really means.

Above and behind the Milky Way Off in the far distance, virtually invisible in the darkness, is a large collection of galaxies in our local area of space.  It is called the Virgo Cluster, and contains over 1,200 galaxies.  It is 50 MILLION light years from the Milky Way.

[055:029] Of Him seeks (its need) every creature in the heavens and on earth: every day in (new) Splendour doth He (shine)!

Beyond the Milky Way

looking out into the vastness of space.  All the colored dots are other galaxies.  The scene you just saw, containing 10,000 more galaxies, fits within the tiny red square.  We’re not kidding!  ALL of those galaxies in that photo fit inside that little red box.  That is what a 10 day exposure with a telescopic camera focused on the darkness inside that box can reveal.

How big is the universe?  Now you are beginning to understand! 

 

WOW!  THIS is what is really lurking in the darkness in the night sky.  Each object you see in this space is not a star.  It is a galaxy of billions of stars … over 10,000 galaxies, all squeezed into this small telescopic snapshot.  To your tiny eyes, this same scene would be simply dark empty space. 

Red Marked area of Sky was photographed by the HST to snap above picture,

 

Look Picture Album: The Universe  http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/the_universe

Look deep into the scene.  In the far distance, you can see more galaxies and more … and more … They seem to go on forever, in all different colors, to the limits of visibility.

Now, imagine the distance between two galaxies The incredible distances between stars are NOTHING … NOTHING… compared to the distances between the galaxies. 

Well, there seem to be a ton of galaxies in the image, but the sky is a big place.  What percentage of the sky does this photo represent?

 

What we are about to show you is perhaps … the most amazing fact presented to you throughout this entire journey. 

Are you ready?  Contained in that space resides an estimated 2.5 x 10²³ possible stars.

Realize that the distance between them represents millions of trillions of miles/km of empty space.

 

Scientists have even assigned the size of the visible universe a numerical distance.  Based on careful and repeated measurements of the night sky by thousands of Astronomers around the world, including the amazing image of galaxies you saw earlier, latest estimates place the observable universe at a diameter of over 27 billion light years.  That distance equals approximately 256 sextillion km (256,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 km), or 160 sextillion miles (1.6 x 10²³ mi).

 

At the fastest speed humans have ever traveled, it would take you … over 720 TRILLION YEARS to cross the known universe!  WHAT!!!  NO WAY!!! …

11 km/s is the incredible speed that the Apollo spacecraft reached on its way to the moon in 1969, and is equal to a whopping 39,600 km/hr (24,600 mph).  It is the fastest speed human beings have ever traveled in all of human history.

Can anyone guess or count the number of star & planets in our universe? Why life only exist on Earth? it is indeed impossible and against all probabilities.

اور اگر یوں ہو کہ زمین میں جتنے درخت ہیں (سب کے سب) قلم ہوں اور سمندر (کا تمام پانی) سیاہی ہو (اور) اس کے بعد سات سمندر اور (سیاہی ہو جائیں) تو خدا کی باتیں (یعنی اس کی صفتیں) ختم نہ ہوں۔ بیشک خدا غالب حکمت والا ہے (۲۷)

Does Universe end somewhere? What is beyond the “edge” of our universe?

The answer to these two questions is hard to understand without a detailed discussion of the birth of our universe … a violent birth that appears to have taken place 13.7 billion years ago in an event commonly known as the “Big Bang”.

 

The particle horizon of the observable universe is the boundary that represents the maximum distance at which events can currently be observed. For events beyond that distance, light hasn't had time to reach our location, even if it were emitted at the time the universe began. How the particle horizon changes with time depends on the nature of the expansion of the universe. If the expansion has certain characteristics, there are parts of the universe that will never be observable, no matter how long the observer waits for light from those regions to arrive.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَىُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُ‌ۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُ ۥ سِنَةٌ۬ وَلَا نَوۡمٌ۬‌ۚ لَّهُ ۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦ‌ۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ‌ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىۡءٍ۬ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦۤ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ‌ۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ‌ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُ ۥ حِفۡظُهُمَا‌ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِىُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ (٢٥٥)

2:255 Al-Baqara
Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous. (255)

خدا (وہ معبود برحق ہے کہ) اس کے سوا کوئی عبادت کے لائق نہیں زندہ ہمیشہ رہنے والا اسے نہ اونگھ آتی ہے نہ نیند جو کچھ آسمانوں میں اور جو کچھ زمین میں ہیں سب اسی کا ہے کون ہے جو اس کی اجازت کے بغیر اس سے (کسی کی) سفارش کر سکے جو کچھ لوگوں کے روبرو ہو رہا ہے اور جو کچھ ان کے پیچھے ہوچکا ہے اسے سب معلوم ہے اور وہ اس کی معلومات میں سے کسی چیز پر دسترس حاصل نہیں کر سکتے ہاں جس قدر وہ چاہتا ہے (اسی قدر معلوم کرا دیتا ہے) اس کی بادشاہی (اور علم) آسمان اور زمین سب پر حاوی ہے اور اسے ان کی حفاظت کچھ بھی دشوار نہیں وہ بڑا عالی رتبہ اور جلیل القدر ہے (۲۵۵)

Is it small or large? Is it “infinite” or does it “end” somewhere? If so, what is beyond its outer boundary? How long has it been in existence? How it is created?
