11 Biggest UNSOLVED MYSTERIES In Physics!
Crazy unsolved phenomena from science! We look at the strange nature of space and time to parallel universes
Force Unification : One of the main things that scientists who study quantum mechanics are trying to solve is the question of how the four fundamental forces were created and whether or not they can be combined. Some renditions of the Big Bang Theory are built around the idea that all four forces, gravity, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force and electromagnetism all came from the same source and were perhaps ‘one’ in the beginning. Using gigantic and powerful particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider, physicists have been able to combine the strong and weak nuclear forces and electromagnetism. This took an insane amount of power measuring more than trillions of electron volts. Though many consider it impossible, it is believed it would take even trillions times more that power if they wanted to merge gravity with the other three.
Parallel Universes :There are some scientists who still maintain that space-time is curved, but the latest data that has been collected by astrophysicists suggests that time is flat and stretches into infinity. Meanwhile, when looking at the small side of things, the rules of the quantum level say that there are only so many possible formations for particles. In other words, while time is infinite, what can make up a universe is finite. These theories when combined bring us to the possible conclusion that our universe is only one out of a potentially infinite amount of parallel universes. If this is true there still may never be any way to observe these parallel universes let alone prove it. If there are infinite universes that would mean that there are more than likely universes that are exactly like our own except for small changes in detail. On the other hand it would also mean there are universes that are the complete opposite and extremely different from ours, so much so that it would be impossible to comprehend. Now which idea is a scarier thought?
