The temperature of the Earth is a pressing concern for humanity, but recent scientific findings highlight that the universe itself is also experiencing a significant increase in heat. According to a report from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Ohio State University, the universe is now approximately 10 times hotter than it was 10 billion years ago, and this trend is expected to continue in the future.
The study reveals that the average temperature of gas in the universe has surged tenfold over the past 10 billion years. It is suggested that the universe’s continuous process of creating new galaxies is a contributing factor to the rising temperatures. As more galaxies are formed, the gravitational collapse of these structures leads to an increase in heat.
To comprehend this phenomenon, it is necessary to revisit the temperature changes that occurred in the million years following the Big Bang. The universe began as a state of high energy where matter and light could not exist in isolation. Approximately 15 billion years ago, the Big Bang occurred, causing a rapid expansion of the universe and a subsequent drop in temperature.
It was initially believed that the temperature of the universe would continue to decline perpetually after the Big Bang. However, this recent research challenges that assumption. The complexity of the universe renders it impossible to be summarized by a single theory, and the team of scientists emphasizes the need for continued exploration and analysis.
According to a recent publication in The Astrophysical Journal, scientists confirm that the heating of the universe is a consequence of the gravitational collapse of structures. The average temperature of gas in the current vicinity is estimated to be around 2 million Kelvin, which is ten times higher than the temperature of the gas present in the early universe.
Professor Brice Ménard from Johns Hopkins University explains that the gravity of galaxy clusters attracts more and more gas, leading to a progressive increase in their temperatures. This natural phenomenon of the universe’s structural adjustments is causing a consistent warming trend.
While not every corner of the universe may be experiencing the same level of heating, one thing is clear: the universe is getting warmer. It is important to note that the average temperature of the universe remains exceedingly low at minus 270.4°C, demonstrating that the warming is occurring on a different scale than global warming on Earth.
To investigate the temperature changes, scientists measure the heat of gases based on their distance from Earth. Observing distant objects, which takes light a significant amount of time to reach us, allows researchers to look back in time. The observations show that as scientists examine farther distances, the temperature appears to decrease, indicating that everything within the universe is gradually warming up over time.
While the implications of the universe’s increasing heat are yet to be fully understood, this research paves the way for further exploration into the complex mechanisms governing the evolution and temperature dynamics of the universe.
