Nothing is permanent. Everything has always been in a state of change that ordinary people may not always understand. Physics and the universe are like a puzzle but it can be deciphered, or not? As it is the cosmos gets weirder, even as scientists learn more and the man on the street believes that the earth is in a sea of stars.
Lord Kelvin once proclaimed that physic is done and there is nothing left to know. A mistake and everything that happened till now is proof of the constant change in the universe. If anyone wants to know who and what they are in the cosmos, this will be a start.
In the next 50 years, there will be changes and everyone will learn the secrets of the universe. With technology as a crutch for the scientifically challenged, that will make things more understandable to anyone with access to the information. Ordinary people can be scientists, scientists will be able to speak better to non-scientists.
How are we alive and what is the universe at large?
To make it simple, it all began in a big fireworks display called the "big bang". Before the big bang, everything existed as zero energy, with no mass or charge. But it formed into a dot or singularity as the seed that leads to the creation of everything.
What was made is a mix of matter and anti-matter that are in a tug of war, to expand or compress the cosmos into a single dot. What is seen as light are the remnants of the big bang from day one, reversing the progression of events will bring everything to point zero. This will be the start of the big bang, everything will stop existing.
There is a tool used by scientist to crack the Pandora's box, reveal the secrets of the subatomic world. One of those tools used by quantum scientists is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This device is used to collide particles are high speed and see what happens when they collide. It is one method to check the matter and anti-matter reaction inside it.
Technology will be the tool to understand the stars
Instead of using the naked eye to see the universe, astronomers and astrophysicists have tools to help see into the dark cosmos. Modern telescope and machines can see the spectrum and energy wavelengths, even the background cosmic radiation can be seen by electronic and digital instruments. Tools like them are used to produce pictures and take a reading of astronomical phenomenon and it gets better too.
Space agencies are construct machines and other constructs to visit outer space. Even go to Mars as the first messengers of mankind too. These advanced AI machines are at the front of space exploration where a man cannot go.
Where will everyone be in fifty years
By that time, the genie in the bottle (universe) might open up and reveal new secrets. These secrets will give new and stranger views of the universe, both the scientist and ordinary person will be witness to the cosmos unseen before.
