UPDATES ON MODELS OF THE UNIVERSE

Introduction
The Universe is all of space and time[a] and their contents,[10] including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other
forms of matter and energy. While the spatial size of the entire Universe is unknown,[3] it is possible to measure
the observable universe.
The earliest scientific models of the Universe were developed by ancient Greek and Indian philosophers and
were geocentric, placing Earth at the centre of the Universe.[11][12] Over the centuries, more precise
astronomical observations led Nicolaus Copernicus to develop the heliocentric model with the Sun at the centre
of the Solar System. In developing the law of universal gravitation, Sir Isaac Newton built upon Copernicus' work
as well as observations by Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Theories
 Anaxagorian Universe - The 5th Century B.C. Greek philosopher Anaxagoras believed that the original
state of the cosmos was a primordial mixture of all its ingredients which existed in infinitesimally small
fragments of themselves. This mixture was not entirely uniform, and some ingredients were present in
higher concentrations than others, as well as varying from place to place. At some point in time, this
mixture was set in motion by the action of “nous” (mind), and the whirling motion shifted and separated
out the ingredients, ultimately producing the cosmos of separate material objects, all with different
properties, that we see today.
 Atomist Universe - Later in the 5th Century B.C., the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus
founded the school of Atomism, which held that the universe was composed of very small, indivisible
and indestructible building blocks known as atoms (from the Greek “atomos”, meaning “uncuttable”). All
of reality and all the objects in the universe are composed of different arrangements of these eternal
atoms and an infinite void, in which they form different combinations and shapes.
 Aristotelian Universe - The Greek philosopher Aristotle, in the 4th Century B.C., established a
geocentric universe in which the fixed, spherical Earth is at the center, surrounded by concentric
celestial spheres of planets and stars. Although he believed the universe to be finite in size, he stressed
that it exists unchanged and static throughout eternity. Aristotle definitively established the four classical
elements of fire, air, earth and water, which were acted on by two forces, gravity (the tendency of earth
and water to sink) and levity (the tendency of air and fire to rise). He later added a fifth element, aether,
to describe the void that fills the universe above the terrestrial sphere.
Opinion
My opinion is that the universe is a place of infinite growth. The higher dimensions go on forever. It has a one
being above all other beings that controls everything. God and it all came from nothing. Being it all came from
nothing, it just gets better and better forever. There’s so much to the universe a mere mortal like me can't see. I
see this life I'm living as just a soul defining life to define our eternity. That's my theory of the universe lol. Your
beliefs matter.
