A team of German physicists led by Frank Steiner at the University of Ulm is claiming that the universe is shaped like a trumpet; how very interesting. It may be old news to many of you but my friend, sidi Idris Kamal, spoke of it today on our way to the masjid and it was certainly news to me.
I did a little research into this matter and found an article in the Independant dated the 4th April 2004
The concept follows a close examination of the dramatic data produced by Nasa, the US space agency, in 1996, which showed that the very faint microwave radiation left over from the Big Bang 13 billion years ago was not evenly spread throughout the cosmos. This lack of evenness – called “anisotropy” – suggested that large-scale models of the shape of the universe, previously thought to be a flat expanse of space time, were wrong.
Ever since then, cosmologists have puzzled over what the data from the Cosmic Background Explorer (Cobe) spacecraft could tell them about the space-time “shape” of the universe. One rival group proposed last year that the universe was shaped instead like a football. But that would have left a particular pattern of background radiation – which has not been found by further experiments.
In the “flat” space of conventional cosmology, small “blobs” – hot and cold spots – in background radiation should be round. But observations show that instead they are ellipses. The curve of a horn-shaped universe can explain this, says Professor Steiner.
The “space” in any small part of the “horn” is saddle-shaped, like a Pringles potato crisp. Such a “negatively curved” space would act as a warped lens, distorting the image around the blobs so they look elliptical to astronomers.
Another property of a “trumpet” universe would be that large blobs more than about 60 degrees across would be absent. So far, scientists have also found this to be the case.
That article shows I am clearly having to play catch up in this matter…I had no idea, its amazing!
Allah
talks about the creation in the Qur’an
It is He (God) who created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): the day He said, “Be,” behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will be the dominion the day the trumpet will be blown. He knows the unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well acquainted (with all things) Quran 6:73
The trumpet will (just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah
(to exempt)… Quran: 39:68
It is very interesting to know that the shape of our universe is shaped like a trumpet, I have imagined the Angel Israfil at the tip of the universe or trumpet inhaling, ready for the command of Allah
to blow it. Amazing.
Prophet Muhammad
said in a hadith
“Every prophet has two viziers from the inhabitants of heaven and two from the inhabitants of earth; my two from heaven are Gabriel and Michael.” When Israfil blows the trumpet, Gabriel will stand at his right hand and Michael at his left.”
