birth of universe......!!!!!!

Hii...this is PRIYANKAR
well itzz the most interesting area of the astro-physicist ....but itz still the hidden mystry tht HOW THE PRESENT UNIVERSE CAME INTO EXISTANCE?
well there r many different views...theories....hypothesis....conjectures n all...but evry theory at one or the other point cum to the conclusion on the fact tht universe was born after the massive BIG-BANG...first given by the father of physics..ALBERT EINSTEIN.......
but now if we consider the modern theory...tht is STRING THEORY or the M-THEORY....which considers the birth of universe was a mere formation after the collission of the 2 or more membranes of the existing universe....this theory has given rise to the new fact tht is...in place of universe it now considers tht it was made up of HYPERVERSE tht is infinitely num of universe........
BUT THE QUESTION NOW ARISES IS FRMM WHRE DID THE INFINITE UNIVERSE OR HYPERVERSE ORIGINATED.........???????
science has still found no answers 2 it so it has given itzz reply frmm the fact tht it has evolvd frmm a SINGULARITY...a case whre all the laws of science ceases.....
thn is it the fact tht SINGULARITY is the space where our science fails??........if itz so......thn NEVER EVER IT COULD B FOUND THT HOW THE UNIVERSE WAS FORMD....???

string theory and the big bang theory

1.why there is a collission between the big bang theory and the string theory ....in their views of the birth of universe?
2.if big bang theory is the only truth then what is the need of considering hyperverse instead of universe?

space/time

This has got to be be one of the most heartbreaking questions I get asked, "Why Isn't Pluto aPlanet". And I get it a lot. I was expecting that a few years after the International AstronomicalUnion's controversial decision, the debate would have settled down and people would finally accept it. But no, it's still a sore point for many people – Pluto is not a planet (let that sink in). In this article, I'll explain the events that led up to the decision, the current state of planetary definition, and any hope Pluto has for the future. Let's find out why Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

Pluto was first discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona. Astronomers had long predicted that there would be a ninth planet in theSolar System, which they called Planet X. Only 22 at the time, Tombaugh was given the laborious task of comparing photographic plates. These were two images of a region of the sky, taken two weeks apart. Any moving object, like an asteroid, comet or planet, would appear to jump from one photograph to the next.

After a year of observations, Tombaugh finally discovered an object in the right orbit, and declared that he had discovered Planet X. Because they had discovered it, the Lowell team were allowed to name it. They settled on Pluto, a name suggested by an 11-year old school girl in Oxford, England (no, it wasn't named after the Disney character, but the Roman god of the underworld).

The Solar System now had 9 planets.

Astronomers weren't sure about Pluto's mass until the discovery of its largest Moon, Charon, in 1978. And by knowing its mass (0.0021 Earths), they could more accurately gauge its size. The most accurate measurement currently gives the size of Pluto at 2,400 km (1,500 miles) across. Although this is small, Mercury is only 4,880 km (3,032 miles) across. Pluto is tiny, but it was considered larger than anything else past the orbit of Neptune.

Over the last few decades, powerful new ground and space-based observatories have completely changed previous understanding of the outer Solar System. Instead of being the only planet in its region, like the rest of the Solar System, Pluto and its moons are now known to be just a large example of a collection of objects called the Kuiper Belt. This region extends from the orbit of Neptune out to 55 astronomical units (55 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun).

Astronomers estimate that there are at least 70,000 icy objects, with the same composition as Pluto, that measure 100 km across or more in the Kuiper Belt. And according to the new rules,Pluto is not a planet. It's just another Kuiper Belt object.
