Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO)

Image
Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are a feature of the large-scale structure of the universe, providing a "standard ruler" that helps astronomers measure the expansion history of the cosmos. The term "baryonic" refers to normal matter, such as protons and neutrons, which make up stars, galaxies, and everything we see around us. The concept of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations originated from the early universe, specifically during the epoch of recombination, which occurred about 380,000 years after the Big Bang. At that time, the universe was a hot, dense soup of particles, primarily electrons and protons. Photons (light particles) were constantly interacting with these charged particles through a process called Thomson scattering. However, as the universe expanded and cooled, electrons and protons combined to form neutral hydrogen atoms. This process, known as recombination, allowed photons to travel freely through space without constant scattering. The

Does consciousness explain quantum mechanics? News By  Paul Sutter (  lifes-little-mysteries  )  published  December 29, 2022 A wild theory suggests that consciousness may explain quantum mechanics, by forcing the subatomic particles to choose one concrete outcome.               Comments (11) (Image credit: PASIEKA via Getty Images) One of the most perplexing aspects of quantum mechanics is that tiny subatomic particles don't seem to "choose" a state until an outside observer measures it. The act of measurement converts all the vague possibilities of what could happen into a definite, concrete outcome. While the mathematics of quantum mechanics provides rules for how that process works, that mat

how a solar eclipse looks like from space.

This is how a solar eclipse looks like from space.  The Solar Eclipse will take place on 10 June will cover the sun by 97 percent. Just weeks after witnessing a Supermoon, Blood Moon, and total lunar eclipse occurring simultaneously last month, sky gazers are in for another treat. This time it is a solar eclipse – the first solar eclipse of 2021 -- which will also be an annular solar eclipse. There will be a total of four eclipses this year – two lunar and two solar – of which, only the first lunar eclipse 2021 has so far been witnessed. The June 10 solar eclipse will reportedly be visible from India, but only from a select few states in the far east, such as Arunachal Pradesh. According to NASA, the 2021 solar eclipse will also be visible from parts of Russia, Canada, and Greenland. At its peak, the second eclipse of 2021 will be visible from Greenland, too, followed by Siberia and the North Pole. These nations will be able to witness the ring of fire.
