🚀Our Milky Way Galaxy the Universe and Us Journey

Summary

Explore the cosmic journey of our Milky Way Galaxy, the Universe, and humanity. Discover how Earth’s spheres—geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere—intertwine with cosmic motion, shaping life and evolution across trillions of miles.

It is impossible to know where our Milky Way Galaxy is in the Universe at the current moment. Because we have no way of knowing how large the Universe is.

We can make estimates of the size of the Universe. These estimates are based on mathematical calculations and models. However, they are limited by what we can conceive.

Based on current calculations. The Universe is expanding, and the Galaxies are moving along with it. Some Galaxies are predicted to collide as others become more distant from each other.

Some Galaxies may break apart, forming into different Galaxies. Their elements could drift in space until they collide with another element. Alternatively, they could coalesce with another Galaxy.

We can assume that the components of the Universe. These include dark energy, dark matter, and ordinary (baryonic) matter. Radiation also plays a role. They have various degrees of intensity and flux that a Galaxy passes through.

And since the Galaxies are moving in the Universe. What effect does the moving Milky Way Galaxy have on our Solar System? And specifically, the Planet Earth. This includes its geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. These systems are influenced by where the Milky Way Galaxy is in the Universe.  

Relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the Milky Way Galaxy is moving through the Universe at 1.3 million miles per hour (about 2.1 million km/h or 600 km/s). Which means that we are travelling approximately 1.27 trillion kilometers (about 790 billion miles) in a year through the Universe.

The currently estimated age of the human species (Homosapiens) is approximately 300,000 years old. If we do the math, Distance = Speed × Time.

• Speed = 1.3 x 10^6
• Time = 300,000 years x 8,760 hour/year
• Distance ≈ 3.42 x 10^12 miles (3.4 trillion miles)

Which means that the human species have traveled ~3.4 trillion miles through the Universe since our species appeared. This trip has taken the Planet Earth through different Universal components that have affected its different above-mentioned spheres.

So, what does this mean? I don’t know. It’s something to think about if you believe that humans were taller and stronger cognitively and physically. They might also have been more connected to the Universe than now.

This assumption is not based on any religion. It is based on the human artifacts, giant human remains and building techniques that have been discovered so far. This suggests that the Milky Way Galaxy’s position in the Universe greatly impacts Planet Earth’s different Spheres.

This is the ever-moving story of our Milky Way Galaxy, the Universe, and Us.
