The humanity has always been interested in the universe, but one of the most interesting and argued fact is what really happens at the edge of the universe and if we can kind of reproduce the extremes in order to reveal the mystery of Big Bang. Researchers have created ultra-cold systems with the purpose of recreating the edges of the universe.
This system is actually a pinkie-sized device filled with helium and cooled until it almost reaches absolute zero. This process is believed to mimic the way that our universe was powered for a few moments after the Big Bang. What comes next only brings more similarities as the whirlpools that remain after the fluid calms down, seem to be related with the flaws that resulted in galaxies, stars and planets.
The scientists who developed the device have relied their study on the so-called theory of cosmogological inflation which states that shortly after the Big Bang, the universe swelled very fast and unexpectedly it calmed down. Most of the specialists in universe and Big Bang theory understand what happened, but they want to know more - they want to know what led to this and how.
It’s very important for the physicists to find out more about this because you would need an unbelievable amount of energy to make an universe accelerate and shortly after to make it to settle down. It will be hard to solve these mysteries because only one universe exists and as the physicists estimated, the period of growth is about 13 billion years in the past.
The scientists who managed to cool the fluid helium at just 0.0003°F above absolute zero are from the Lancaster University in England. Their experiments could be very risky if tested at a large-scale because they would not want to burst out an universe, supernova or a black-hole.
