'Sunken World' discovered at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean! Was the Moon created by the Earth? New study reveals surprising information!

 

'Sunken World' discovered at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean!
Scientists have discovered a possible part of the Earth's ancient crust, or the so-called 'sunken Earth', at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The astonishing discovery was made possible through state-of-the-art geophysical mapping technology and seismic wave analysis methods.
 
A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports suggests that the remains of tectonic plates are hidden not only in submerged areas but also in the interior of continents. However, these remains are located in areas where no tectonic collisions have occurred in the past. Such anomalies have been detected in particular under the western Pacific Ocean.
 
How these remnants got there is still a mystery, according to the research team. In this study, researchers used seismic waves to create a clear map of the Earth's interior. The new method, called full-waveform inversion, combines data from seismographs from individual earthquakes to create a clear picture.
 
In addition, the study used the Piz Daint supercomputer in Switzerland. As a result of this method, scientists have found that there are parts of submerged tectonic plates on the ocean floor and in the continental interior. The researchers believe that these parts may be ancient materials left over from the early formation of the Earth's crust, which formed about four billion years ago. Or they may be dense materials that have formed inside the Earth over the past few hundred million years.

But they are not yet confirmed. "We don't know exactly what they are, but we are examining the properties of different materials," said Thomas Schouten, the study's lead researcher. The researchers also said that the speed of seismic waves suggests that these parts are similar to submerged tectonic plates. However, more research is needed to confirm whether they are really the same type.

"We want to gather more information about the properties of different materials through wave motion," said Schouten. "This will help us understand the true nature of these structures." This discovery opens the door to new research into the Earth's interior. In the future, this research will help us understand more clearly the unknown chapters of geological history."
 

 

Was the Moon created by the Earth? New study reveals surprising information!


A new study on the origin of the Moon and the source of Earth's water has revealed surprising information. Scientists from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany conducted the study. Their study found evidence that the Moon was originally formed from material from the Earth's crust.

The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, analyzed oxygen isotopes from 14 lunar samples and 191 Earth samples. According to data obtained by the laser fluorination method, the oxygen-17 isotopes of the moon and Earth are very similar.

The study challenges the widely held Theia theory of the moon's origin. It was previously thought that a protoplanet called Theia formed the moon when it collided with Earth. But new research suggests that Theia's crust was probably destroyed first. The collision took the form of a "metal bullet" that formed the moon from material ejected from Earth's crust. 

The findings also spark a new debate about the origin of Earth's water. It was long believed that the Late Veneer Event theory, which holds that water came to Earth after the Moon formed, was caused by a comet or asteroid impact. But study co-author Mike Fisher said the isotopic similarities between the Moon and Earth rule out many types of meteorites as the source of water.

The study suggests that a type of meteorite known as enstatite chondrites, which have isotopes similar to those of Earth and carry significant amounts of water, may be the original source of Earth's water. The findings are re-evaluating conventional wisdom about the history of the Moon and Earth. They could help us better understand the deep connections between the Moon and Earth and the complexity of planetary evolution.

Scientists solved the mystery of the sun's blue color in 1831! The whole idea of ​​Jupiter's clouds has changed! ‍and...What research reveals about the mystery of the birth of Pluto's largest moon Charan!

Scientists solved the mystery of the sun's blue color in 1831! 

Scientists have solved the long-standing mystery of the sun's blue color in the Earth's sky in 1831. Researchers from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland said in a new study that the main cause was a massive eruption of the Javaritsky volcano on Simushi Island, which is disputed between Russia and Japan.
 
The eruption of this volcano in 1831 released a large amount of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. This caused a global drop in temperatures and caused unusual weather. According to scientists, the ash and gas produced during the eruption scattered the sun's rays, creating a blue color.
 
The study, published recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), allowed the researchers to determine the duration and intensity of the eruption by analyzing the ice cores. “It was a real ‘eureka moment’ for us when we were analyzing the volcanic ash and the ice cores together in the laboratory,” said study co-author Will Hutchinson.
 
Scientists have warned that there is a one-sixth chance of another major volcanic eruption in the future. Such an eruption could trigger major changes in the Earth's climate. The study's lead author noted that if such an eruption were to occur now, we would be no more prepared than we were in 1831.
 
The world experienced the 'year without a summer' in 1815, when Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted in a massive eruption. The eruption spewed a huge amount of gas and dust into the atmosphere, which lowered temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere by 1 degree Celsius.
 
Scientists have warned that the economic damage from a major volcanic eruption could reach trillions of dollars. However, the cooling climate effects caused by such an eruption would be temporary. The Earth would then return to a warmer state due to greenhouse gas emissions. Such research is opening new horizons in human space and climate monitoring, as well as early warning.
 
The whole idea of ​​Jupiter's clouds has changed!
 

   
Scientists' ideas about Jupiter have recently changed, according to a study conducted by a combination of professional and amateur astronomers.
 
Scientists say that the previous conventional wisdom about the planet's clouds is incorrect.
 
Jupiter's clouds were previously thought to be made of ammonia ice. However, a new study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research suggests that the planet's icy clouds may actually be made of ammonium hydrosulfide and smog.
 
For this study, the research team used data from the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile. The team used spectroscopic analysis to determine the various compounds present in these gases on Jupiter from the wavelengths of light emitted by MUSE.
 
What research reveals about the mystery of the birth of Pluto's largest moon, Charon !
 

 
The birth of Pluto's largest moon, Charon, is based on a unique cosmic event—the 'kiss and capture' theory. A brief icy collision between Pluto and Charon occurred billions of years ago, a new study suggests. That event permanently trapped Charon in Pluto's orbit.
 
The study was led by NASA postdoctoral researcher Adin Denton, who works at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona. According to Denton, this "kiss and grab" theory will help us better understand the formation of planets and moons. The study found that previous models did not take into account the structural strength of icy minor planets like Pluto and Charon during collisions.
 
The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Scientists have long thought that Charon's birth mechanism was much like Earth's moon. It was thought that satellites like the moon or Charon were formed as a result of a violent collision. But while these models worked for Earth and the moon, they did not work for Pluto-Charon. This is because Pluto and Charon are much smaller and colder than Earth-Moon. They are mainly made of rock and ice.

"Pluto and Charon are different in their structural properties. When we took into account the actual strength of the ice and rock, we discovered a completely different phenomenon," Denton said.
 
According to Denton, most planetary collisions are either 'hit and run' or 'graze and merge'. But Charon's collisions were 'kiss and bind'. This means that after the collision, they are temporarily stuck together and then separated, but gravitational forces keep them permanently connected.
 
One of the highlights of this study is that the predictions for Charon's orbit match up well. Erik Asfög, another author of the study, said that this model correctly explains two things at once: the process of Charon's capture and its current orbit.
 
This discovery will force scientists to think about new aspects of cosmic collisions and satellite formation.

A good way to die...! Death is a painful truth. Everyone will have to taste it one day. No one will stay in this world forever. When the angel of death comes and takes possession of our souls, we will become dead bodies in the eyes of the people of this world.

Death is a painful truth. Everyone will have to taste it one day. No one will stay in this world forever. When the angel of death comes and takes possession of our souls, we will become dead bodies in the eyes of the people of this world. Whatever we have done in this one piece of life in this world, we will start to see the results in the life of the grave. If we do good, we will get good results. If we do bad, we will get bad results. The first destination of the hereafter is the grave. And the life of the grave begins with death. The eternal life beyond begins. Death can come at any moment.

 Allah says in this regard, ‘No one knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no one knows where he will die.’ (Surah Luqman, verse 34). Allama Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) explained this verse, ‘Every moment of every living being, including humans, is like the moment of its death. That is why the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘O people! Prepare for death before it comes.’ (Mustadrak Al-Hakeem, Hadith No. 8949). Some deaths shake the world. They plunge every person into a sea of ​​grief. And some deaths give people relief. They put an end to oppression and tyranny. A poet wrote, ‘You will form such a life/You will laugh at death, and the world will cry.’ A good death requires a planned life. And for this, Allah’s mercy or special kindness is needed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “When Allah wants good for a servant, He makes him worthy.” The Companions asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What is worthy?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Allah makes that person worthy of Paradise by giving him the ability to do more good deeds before death.” (Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2142)

In another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “When Allah wants good for a servant, He gives him strength.” The companions asked, “What kind of strength?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, “The strength to do more good deeds.” (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 17819). An Arab poet said about death, “Life is the name of a few blinks.” That is, the period from birth to death is as short as the blink of an eye. Therefore, what a wise person should do is to make the most of the time and prepare for a good death. The greatest preparation for death is to engage oneself in good deeds and refrain from evil deeds. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Run towards good deeds, before the trials descend like a dark night.” (Muslim, Hadith No. 328). A believer will have this good idea about Allah that He will definitely reduce the suffering of his servant at the time of death. Because Allah will treat him as he thinks about Allah. In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah says, ‘I act according to the opinion of My servant about Me. I am with him.’ (Bukhari, Hadith No. 7405). In another Hadith, Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say three days before his death that all of you should die with a good opinion of Allah.’ (Muslim, Hadith No. 7121).
 
By remembering death more, one can also prepare for a good death. One of the great benefits of remembering death more is that worldly attachment is removed from the heart and thoughts and deeds of the Hereafter increase. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Remember death, which destroys all enjoyments and pleasures, more often.’ (Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2307). Another way to remember death is to visit graves. Visiting graves reminds one of death and the Hereafter. It creates in the heart an idea of ​​the horror of the punishment of the grave. Through this, it helps one repent from wrongdoing and prepare for death. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘I forbade you from visiting graves before, so visit graves from now on. For it brings detachment from this world and reminds one of the Hereafter.’ (Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 1571).
 
The first thing that comes to the mind of a person through visiting graves is the pressure of the grave. Ammazan Hazrat Aisha Siddiqah (RA) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘The grave will press everyone. If anyone could have escaped the pressure of the grave, then my beloved companion Saad ibn Mu’adh would have survived.’ (Musnad Ahmad and Bayhaqi Sharif). Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA) narrates, ‘After placing Saad in the grave, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) recited Subhanallah, Allahu Akbar several times. We also recited Tasbeeh along with the Prophet. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘The grave of this righteous Saad had become narrow. After reciting Tasbeeh, Allah has widened his grave.’ (Musnad Ahmad and Tibrani Sharif). The Companions and Tabi’een were always afraid of the pressure of the grave. Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "Of all the hadiths we heard from the Messenger of Allah, the most terrifying was the hadith about the pressure of the grave. Especially when the great companion Saad could not escape the pressure of the grave, we were always worried about what would happen to people like us." (Musannif Abdur Razzaq).

O Allah! Grant us the ability to prepare for a good death. Death is inevitable for every human being who is born. We always pray to the Creator for death so that He may make the pain of death less for us. May we die believing in the belief that Allah is One and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last Prophet and Messenger of Allah.  Amin.

Scientists will spread diamond powder into the atmosphere to cool the Earth!

Scientists could make a bold and valuable effort to combat the climate crisis. Diamond dust could be sprayed into the atmosphere to cool the Earth, a study has found!

 

Although it may seem absurd, according to a research paper published in ‘Geophysical Research Letters’, 5 million tons of diamond powder per year can significantly reduce the temperature of the world. When shiny diamond powder falls on the sunlight, it will be largely reflected and go out of the atmosphere. As a result, the heat will also decrease. This is the idea expressed in the research paper.

The researchers believe that if this process can be carried out for more than 45 years, then this process can reduce the temperature of the earth by about 2.9 degrees Fahrenheit. However, implementing this plan is not as easy as it seems. This is what some scientists think. Because the whole process is both costly and labor-intensive.

Researchers estimate that it would cost about $2 billion to spread diamond dust over 45 years to reduce global temperatures. That's why many people think that spending so much money on speculation and testing is completely unreasonable. However, researchers argue that this cost is nothing compared to the alarming pace at which the climate crisis is currently escalating in the world.

The researchers also believe that all possible experiments should be conducted to combat climate change, no matter how unrealistic they may seem. According to the paper, the process of spraying diamond dust into the atmosphere is known as ‘stratospheric aerosol injection’. The whole thing falls under the umbrella of ‘solar geoengineering’.

This process disperses tiny particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption.

The researchers were also studying the effects of releasing other aerosols, including sulfur, into the atmosphere, in addition to diamond dust. Experiments were being conducted to determine which materials would work best in real-world situations.

Allah has honored man!

Humans are the best creatures in creation. The Creator wants humans to express gratitude to Allah for this characteristic of theirs. Allah wants humans to be independent of anyone except Allah. Humans should have self-respect. Allah is the provider of sustenance to all living beings, including humans. However, He says, ‘We have honored the children of Adam.’ (Surah Bani Israel, verse 70) It is not pleasing to Allah that humans refrain from seeking their livelihood and turn to others, thinking that Allah will provide sustenance. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) himself did business for his livelihood.


From Hazrat Adam (AS) to the Messenger (SAW), all 124,000 or 224,000 prophets and messengers worked for a living. Prophet Zakariya (AS) used to work as a carpenter to provide for his family. Companion Abdur Rahman Awf ibn Malik said, "We were seven, eight or nine in the court of the Messenger (SAW).

The Holy Prophet said, "Will you not take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? We have just taken the oath of allegiance at Aqabah." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah! We have taken the oath of allegiance to you." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said again, "Will you not take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah?" We then extended our hands and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We have taken the oath of allegiance to you. Now what oath shall we take again?" The Holy Prophet said, "Take an oath to this effect - that you will worship Allah alone and associate no one with Him. You will pray five times a day and obey the leader." Then the Holy Prophet said something secret in a low voice, and that you will not ask people for anything. The Companion said, "I saw some of them, even if their stick fell, they would not ask others to give it to them." (Riyaz Salihin, Muslim) A person reaches out to others only when he fails to fulfill his own needs. Reaching out to others does not do justice to self-respect. Sawban (RA) said, “Once the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘Who will take responsibility for me in such a way that he will not ask people for it, and I will take responsibility for Paradise for him?’ I said, ‘I will.’ (From then on, Sawban (RA) did not ask anyone for anything.)” (Riyaz Salehin)
 
An example of the importance given to human dignity in Islam is a hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Narrated by Sahl ibn Saad, Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace be upon him), ‘The dignity of a believer lies in his nightly Tahajjud prayers and his honor lies in his not being dependent on people.’ (Musdatrake Hakim) The Prophet (peace be upon him) urged his followers to be self-reliant. He discouraged begging. He urged them to turn their begging hands into working hands. Narrated by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘It is not permissible to beg except for three people: 1. A person who is in dire need 2. A person who is in debt and 3. A person who is obligated to pay a painful blood money (dyat)’ (Abu Dawud in Mishkat). A man from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and begged for alms. He asked him, "Do you have anything in your house?" He said, "I have an expensive blanket, part of which I put on my body and the other part I spread out, and a wooden cup from which we drink water." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Bring both of these things to me." When he brought them, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took the blanket and the cup in his hand and said, "Is anyone willing to buy these two things?" A man said, "I am willing to buy them for one dirham." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said two or three times, "Who can give more than one dirham?" A man stood up and said, "I am willing to give two dirhams."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave him the two dirhams. He gave them to the Ansar man and said, "Go and buy food with one dirham and feed your family. And buy an axe with the other and bring it to me." The Ansar man bought the axe and brought it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He put a wooden handle on it with his own hand and said, "Go and cut wood and sell it." The man went and cut wood as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had told him. After 15 days, he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he had 10 dirhams. He bought some of it for clothes and some for food. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him, "(Earning through hard work) is better for you than asking for help from others, because the shameful mark of begging will be a scar on the face on the Day of Resurrection." (Abu Dawud, Musnad Ahmad and Ibn Majah). The Prophet (peace be upon him) himself worked hard for his livelihood. He advised the believers to earn their living through lawful means so that they would not be dependent on others. We should all follow his example.
