The Universe in All of Its Glory

How Big Is Our Universe-Mathematical Analogies by
Dr. Anwar Hamdi is a considerably well-researched
book on the proportionalities which exist in
our Solar System in relation to the Earth.
There are fascinating facts in the presentation
generally not well known by the general public.

For instance, on Venus a day is longer than an
earth year. The largest volcano in our solar
system is believed to be on Mars. The top of
the Martian volcano is 3 times the size of
Mount Everest. The base is approximately 370
miles wide.

Jupiter is a huge planet in comparison to the Earth.
Even though Jupiter is comprised of helium and
hydrogen gas, it outweighs planet Earth by
three hundred fifteen times.

The size of Earth compared to the Sun is like
comparing a mere lentil to a huge melon.
Our Sun is about 5,000 million years old.
In star years, this is about the age of a young
teenager. One Sun year is equal to two hundred
million earth years. The energy liberated by the
Sun equals 380 million, million, million, million
watts per second. Inside the Sun, temperatures
reach 15 million degrees Celsius. The surface of
the Sun is 6,000 degrees Celsius.

In our galaxy, there are at least one
hundred million black holes with stars
collapsing. Black holes are stars in the
final stages of life. In a black hole,
the laws of Physics as we understand them
become altered. The new laws are a complete
mystery to human knowledge or imagination.
A hypothesis could be that stars implode
to a much smaller size with greater density
and more tightly packed crystalline structures.
In the galaxy M87, there is a black hole with
a mass 3,500 million times the mass of our own
Sun. Scientists estimate that there are
100 million galaxies in our Universe.

Behind the Universe, there are many questions
like the governing force which unites all
matter. What lies beyond the Universe and at its
boundaries? A hypothesis could be that everything
is contained in a vacuum with a huge elastic
boundary that expands and contracts both outward
and inward dependent upon outward bursts of energy
and inward implosions.

How Big Is Our Universe-Mathematical Analogies
is a fascinating book with plenty of room for
discussion between and among scientists everywhere.
Many of the statements are made from carefully
crafted mathematical conjectures and computations.
The facts contained could be debated for centuries
to come. There may be no firm answers to survive
the scientific method in certain cases.

the universe is so vast it may not be enough to be in one book....

True. Dr. Hamdi's book does provide a lot of useful information which the general public really does not have available in the condensed format utilized by this author.

I love when I learn something new from a book.  I had no knowledge of astronomy before reading How Big Is Our Universe?  I know a few basic things about our universe now.  Dr. Anwar Hamdi fills a lot of information in such a short book.  Here are some fascinating facts I found.    There are 6.8 billion people on earth.  There are 49,000 countries on earth.  These are just two things that I find absolutely fascinating.  I did not know that Mars contains …
