When you look at the stars, your looking back in time. The stars that you see are not something like the sun, thats visible and whats relatively close to our earth. But it’s like there ghost. Think of this way, The speed of light is faster then the speed of sound or the speed of an object. The light can be visible or non-visible light, but it will always be faster. So when you look at the stars, your looking into the past. There light comes to view before the subject comes to place. By that, to even see the light; it takes time. In our galaxy, we have hundreds of thousands of stars in view. Like one supernova mid way threw our galaxy called “The Crab Nebula”. Its about 6,523 light years away from earth, witch is about 2,000 years old. If we can see the Crab Nebula, that means we would have to be here for at least 2,000 years, for us to even see the Crab Nebula. So what does that mean? Some religions believe that the earth is only 2,000 years old, but if the Crab Nebula is 2,000 years old and it’s only mid way threw our galaxy. How can we see our hole galaxy and hundreds of billions more galaxy’s after? The universe was born, but we don’t know how. Some people believe that is was a higher power, a god or the source of all existence as we know it. But we don’t know the source of all existence, no one dose. Space is constantly expanding, with no resolution, witch is why its so difficult for us to understand where it all began. How did it happen? No one knows, were still searching for answers. But by the time we find one, it opens an ocean more of questions to be answered. The most widely accepted theory of our universe’s origin is the big bang theory. This theory was created from an observation that other galaxies are moving away from our own at a phenomenal speeds in all directions, as if they had all been propelled by an explosive force. Everyone wants to understand why the universe exists because that might help them explain or understand there own origins and significance. The big bang theory is more then just a scientific observation, in the sense that is can offer us a personal meaning to the origins of our own existence.
