“EXPANSION OF THE UNIVESE”

described it: The Quran talks about an “expanding” Universe centuries before scientists We created the heavens, the earth and what is between them in six Days, and heavens and the earth, and never wearied with their creation is able to give life to no weariness ever touched Us (50:38) See they not that God, Who created the the dead? Yea, verily He has power over all things (46:33).

Before we discuss what science asserts on this subject, it is worth mentioning that in Genesis, the story of the creation of the world is told in considerable detail. But this statement that the Creation did not make God at all weary is stunning and outstanding, and varies from the Biblical description where God is said to have rested on the seventh day from the preceding days’ work. Now what is asserted in the above verses is that God is able to give life to the.

dead and the proof thereof is that He Who created the heavens and the earth (is still engaged in the act of creation) and is never wearied of their creation. The expansion of the Universe is the most imposing discovery and firmly established concept of modern science, John Robinson observes: ‘We have a strong evidence and a solid basis for the famous Theory of the Expanding Universe, since the constitution of the Universe the galaxies are running away from us and from each other at altogether, exceptional speeds.

They are dispersing or scattering just as a puff of smoke disperses or the fragments of a bursting bomb; the parts steadily get further away from each other as the whole expands. Hubble determined the distances to the galaxies and the velocities that they were moving at relative to Earth and discovered an amazing thing — the farther galaxies were away from us, the faster they were moving away from us. In other words, the Universe is steadily and rapidly expanding! The most well known scientist, Einstein discovered a simple connection between space, time, and matter that appears to hold throughout the universe.

His theory predicts that the universe will continue to expand forever if there is, on average, less than about a sugar cube’s worth of matter and energy per trillion cubic miles of space. Here is another verse for us to behold and appreciate this wonderful reality in unequivocal and explicit terms; the action of creating the vastness of space is denoted not in any tense but in subjective form that gives subtle meaning of permanence and perpetuation to the attribute of the Creator who continues to create perpetually the vastness of space: And the sky We built it with might, and we cause the expansion of it (51:47) for expansion of the universe being the most marvelous, awe-inspiring and unseen discovered by the American astronomer Edwin Hubble in the late 1920s, almost 14 years after the Quran described it. One eminent thinker and astronomer said that the The fact that the Universe is not static but in a state of expansion w expansion of the Universe is as commonplace, as the expansion of a gas, the difference being only one of scale.’ Why should we not adore Allah, the Almighty phenomenon is amazingly so commonplace and convenient, so simple and effortless that in the words of the Holy Quran it applies to anything, tiny or titanic of the whole universe: Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, “be” , and it is! (36:82) as to how even a colossal thing can be created with only One may be flabbergasted comes to solve this riddle. This endeavours to describe quantum processes at the a word spoken within the fraction of a second.

Here Quantum cosmology at second. There is another earliest times that we can conceive of a classical space-time, that is, the Planck epoch Scientist, Reinhardt whose ideas about the origin of the Universe are based on an extension of string theory called M-theory that does not do away with the Big Bang The evidence that everything emerged from a ‘fireball’ with a temperature of 10 billion degrees, expanding on a timescale of one second, is now very compelling and uncontroversial. Paul Steinhardt and colleagues at Princeton University propose the so-called ‘ekpyrotic model’. It explains important details about the nature of our Universe such as why the cosmos is expanding the way it is. The Quran presents in two verses a brief synthesis of the phenomena that constituted the basic process of the formation of the Universe.
