That terrifying region where even light becomes extremely dim while passing through
Light is the most powerful and fastest thing in space that travels at the same speed from its first day to its last day (even if that period spans billions of years). It never stops, gets tired, or gasps.
But there are innumerable places in the universe where it loses its existence altogether, such as the singularity of black holes.
And there are many places where it gets tangled up or where every part of it is danced in a triple dance.
The speed of the fastest thing in the universe has been slowed down so much that even a worm crawling on the ground laughs at its slowness. It is not a matter of surprise.
Those places are the centres of the stars, from which every particle of light escapes with great difficulty.
Our sun is also a star.
You will be surprised that a particle of light can travel from its centre to the upper surface of our Sun.
The particles, whose speed in space is 300,000 kilometres per second, take thousands to millions of years to come from the centre of the sun to its surface.
Why does this happen?
The area around the centre of the sun is called the radiative zone, where the temperature is 5.1 million degrees Celsius (7.2 million degrees Fahrenheit). It is here that two hydrogen atoms combine to form one helium atom by emitting intense energy through the process of nuclear fusion.
The light particles (photons) produced by this process are not ordinary photons. These are high-energy gamma photons.
Light waves rich in gamma photons are considered to be the most powerful things in the universe.
If only a small wave of it falls on the earth, it is enough to destroy all life on earth.
The Sun is emitting streams of gamma photons every second, converting millions of tonnes of hydrogen into helium.
Due to its densest and hottest properties, hydrogen gas is the fourth state of matter in the form of plasma due to its densest and hottest properties.
Gamma photons should travel from the centre of the Sun to the surface in 3.2 seconds.
Then why does it take thousands of years? Let's try to understand.
The region around the centre of the Sun consists of dense webs of plasma, the hottest fourth state of matter.
The pressure of all the matter of the sun is also on this inner region. Due to intense heat and pressure, the electrons of atoms are separated from their nuclei. That is, the plasma is electrically charged here. which obstructs the path of these gamma photons in the form of narrow and dense net-like paths.
Each photon of gamma light is trapped in the same trap for thousands to millions of years, bouncing around trying to reach the surface. This journey is very long and tiring.
This mode of photon travel is called RANDOM WALK.
The surface temperature of the sun is 5,500 degrees centigrade. Here, the X-ray photon further loses its energy and changes from an X-ray photon to a photon of visible light. Then it enters the earth's atmosphere, passes through a few more stages in the earth's atmosphere, becomes a pure life-giving particle and falls on the earth.
(The description of this journey of light is very long and complicated; I tried to explain it in a simple and short way)
...
Have you ever considered how much energy, how painful, and how long every ray of sunlight falling on you travelled to provide you with energy and life?
How long does it take to transform a gamma photon into life-giving light? We don't even realise it.
I try my best not to discuss religion in science, but sometimes the wonders of nature overturn my intentions and principles.
This is where I had to say helplessly.
Fabayi Allah, your Lord, do not deny it."
