LET THERE BE LIGHT MODERN SCIENCE VERSION

KR:   OUR VERSION AS PER 10 129 Nasadiya suktam is is more reasonable than
the modern because, the matter cannot be added or decreased and is always
the constant, which is agreed by the Modern science also. If so, if some
dusts had been seen in4.8 and 13 billion years as components of light, as
RED-SHIFT, would throw th question IF SO, WHERE WAS THE ADDED-UP MATERIALS
IN ALL TIMES; IF NOT, THEN MATTRER CAN BE DESTROYED AND CREATED AFRESH HAS
TO BE ANSWERED. Third question will be, has the modern science had seen all
the space stations, in all places? (NO); if stars were born late and came
only because of residues of certain chemicals, whether the mass of all
known stars and the quantum of weight of those chemicals, and the mass of
objects from where they emanated-had all been calculated? Fourth one is
similar mass of planets and stars everywhere, including unknown places will
tally the total Mass? Science of today says, they think space is so
expansive, only after seeing such movements of stars; if so whether known
science can explain the whole unknown? If the law of thermodynamics shall
be the truth, our concept of all existed which is only known to Him or
since he was in Dyanam, even HE may not know; if so how the modern science
is running it, so callously?.

SCIENCE REPORTS: Around 13.8 billion years ago, the Universe sprang into
being, and started gradually transforming into the vast cosmos we know
today. The Big Bang wasn’t really a “bang,” so to speak – it was more a
very rapid expansion from something infinitely small, infinitely hot, and
infinitely dense to something marginally less so – which then continued to
expand for the rest of time.

Straight after the expansion began, the whole Universe was an extremely hot
“soup” of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. As it began
to cool, the protons and neutrons started grouping together to form
hydrogen and helium atoms. These atoms were ionized: the intense heat of
the early Universe stripped these atoms of their electrons. At this point,
light could not travel through the Universe as it would be deflected by the
free electrons.

Once the Universe cooled a little more, electrons were able to join the
ionized atoms, creating neutral hydrogen and helium. This process, known by
astronomers as *recombination*, occurred roughly 300,000 years after the
Big Bang and made the Universe transparent, because light would no longer
be deflected by free electrons.

The reason astronomers know about this era is from remnant Cosmic Microwave
Background radiation, which is scattered across the cosmos today. This is
leftover light from the era of recombination whose wavelength has been
stretched by the expansion of the Universe, becoming *redshifted*
<https://scitechdaily.com/astronomy-astrophysics-101-what-is-redshift/>.
This means that the further this light has travelled, the longer its
wavelength has stretched. This remnant light is a sort of footprint of how
the Universe looked back then: just a gaseous soup of hydrogen and helium,
with gas being more densely packed in some areas than others. But at this
point there were still no sources of light like stars, so astronomers refer
to this epoch as the Cosmic Dark Ages.

Map of the Cosmic Microwave Background captured by the European Space
Agency’s Planck space telescope. Different colours show small fluctuations
in temperature that correspond to areas with slightly different densities,
which would later become the seeds for the formation of the first stars and
galaxies.

Between 500 million to 1 billion years after the Big Bang, the Universe
transformed, clearing the fog of neutral gas. It is thought that a vast
amount of ultraviolet (UV) light was able to burn through this fog,
stripping electrons from their atoms, and ionising them. Because of this,
astronomers call this time in the early Universe the epoch of reionization,
with “bubbles” of ionized gas growing amidst the surrounding neutral gas.
It’s not yet known what exactly provided the necessary UV light to reionize
the Universe; it could have been stars, early galaxies, or *quasars*
<https://scitechdaily.com/astronomy-astrophysics-101-quasar/>, or even a
combination of these.

Astronomers have hypothesized that the intense UV radiation from the epoch
of reionization was released from the very first stars. They would have
formed over millions of years as some areas of the cosmic fog condensed and
collapsed under their own gravity.

A star is a very dense form of plasma that fuses together atoms like
hydrogen and helium under very intense heat and pressure, forming heavier
elements and releasing vast amounts of energy. Once all the fuel has been
used up, depending on the size of the star, it will die, releasing a
plethora of new elements into the space around it, which will end up in
subsequent generations of newer stars.

The very first stars would have been 30 to 300 times bigger than our Sun,
and millions of times brighter. As opposed to modern stars, which contain
traces of heavy elements, those first stars would have been made of just
hydrogen and helium. They would have burnt out only after a few million
years and radiated intense UV light, enough to clear the fog in the epoch
of reionization. These stars would have ended their lives in gargantuan
supernovae explosions, hot enough to create the heaviest elements in the
Universe. These explosions would have populated the cosmos with its first
heavy elements, which would have then gone on to form more dust, planets
and stars.

Up until very, very recently, the existence of extremely massive stars in
the early Universe was purely theoretical, simply because peering into
space that far back into time was limited by the technology available.

In 2011, research using *ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT)*
<https://scitechdaily.com/tag/very-large-telescope/> allowed
astronomers to *probe
into the early Universe* <https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1138/>,
finding early stars and galaxies when the Universe was only 780 million
years old. They found that the UV light emitted by some of those galaxies
would have represented an important source of energy to reionize the cosmic
fog. Another study in 2015 used the VLT and other telescopes to study early
galaxies, *finding a surprisingly bright galaxy with no traces of elements
heavier than helium*
<https://scitechdaily.com/vlt-discovers-the-brightest-distant-galaxy-to-date-and-signs-of-population-iii-stars/>,
just as expected from the first generation of stars.

Then, on the 30th March 2022, astronomers using NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space
Telescope were able to *capture the most distant star ever seen*
<https://scitechdaily.com/hubble-spots-farthest-star-ever-seen-thanks-to-lucky-cosmic-alignment-we-almost-didnt-believe-it/>,
from when the Universe was only 7% of its current age, or 4 billion years
after the Big Bang. They were able to see this due to an effect called
*gravitational
lensing*
<https://scitechdaily.com/astronomy-astrophysics-101-gravitational-lensing/>,
where large galaxy clusters can act as a magnifying glass, showing objects
at very large distances away. Called Earendal (which means “morning star”
in old English), the star is estimated to be at least 50 times the mass of
our Sun and millions of times brighter.

The very first galaxies would have been very different from newer galaxies
astronomers observe today. Because of the chaotic nature of the early
Universe, galaxy shapes would have been less defined, lacking stable
features like bulges (tightly-bound conglomerations of stars towards the
centre of the galaxy) and spiral arms (like those in the Milky Way).
However, there are still some puzzling things…

Early galaxies are expected to be mostly populated with lighter elements
like hydrogen and helium. However, on some occasions, astronomers have
found galaxies from the epoch of reionisation that appear much older based
on their chemical compositions. For example, in 2015, astronomers
using the *Atacama
Large Millimetre/Submillimetre Array (ALMA)*
<https://scitechdaily.com/tag/alma/>, of which ESO is a partner, and ESO’s
VLT, *discovered a galaxy*
<https://scitechdaily.com/alma-vlt-reveal-dusty-evolved-galaxy/> from when
the Universe was around 700 million years old (firmly placing it around the
epoch of reionisation), and found that it contained gas and dust from much
heavier elements. An even more distant galaxy was studied with ALMA in
2017, and *was found to be surprisingly dusty*
<https://scitechdaily.com/most-distant-galaxy-ever-observed-by-alma-sheds-light-on-the-first-stars/>.
This suggests that perhaps many early supernovae had populated these
galaxies with heavy elements very quickly, but astronomers do not know this
for sure.

Similarly, last year, astronomers using ALMA found a galaxy that *appears
much older than expected*
<https://scitechdaily.com/shocking-discovery-as-astronomers-peer-12-billion-years-into-the-past-defies-our-understanding-of-galaxy-formation/>.
We see it when the universe was just 1.2 billion years old, but it already
exhibits features like a bulge and a rotating disc, similar to more evolved
galaxies like our own Milky Way.

Clearly, there is still much yet to learn about galaxies in the early
Universe.

While astronomers have been able to piece together a rough timeline and
plausible theories about the Universe’s formation, much of it is still a
mystery. It is very difficult to piece together an exact timeline of the
early Universe. When did reionisation actually end? How were the first
galaxies assembled together?

To answer these questions, more research and more accurate technology are
needed. ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), currently under construction
in Chile and set to see first light later this decade, will be instrumental
in understanding the early Universe.

The ELT will have a 39-meter mirror, bigger than all currently existing
optical research telescopes combined, enabling it to collect a huge amount
of light. It will allow astronomers to investigate individual stars in more
distant galaxies, tracing their history back to the early Universe. Its
operation will mark a dramatic increase in astronomy’s capabilities,
peering back into the cosmos further and more accurately than ever before.

Let’s just be thankful that the Universe is transparent and full of light,
and that, using the newest technology, we are able to peer back to the far
reaches of the cosmos.
