When we think about the interconnectedness of things in the universe, it’s hard to set a boundary. As humans, we are unique beings to ourselves, but when looking at the human community we can find many connections between people. We are part of the planet we live on along with the animals and plants that surround us with which we are definitely connected and on which we depend. But what happens when we go a step further than our planet? Are all points in the universe connected?
All points in the universe are connected. Everything in the universe comes from energy. Every particle in the universe has a connection to other particles, and events that occur in one part of the universe leave an effect on the universe as a whole. Both solid matter and empty space, are part of a single whole.
When we look at an atom, it seems to be a unit in itself. We don’t see it as a connection to another atom, but if we look at a larger system, we clearly notice a connection between atoms.
Likewise, by observing a larger system, such as the human body, we notice that all parts of the human body are connected. Any view of a larger system, be it tribes, nations, planets, or the solar system, the connection between the parts is undeniable.
Are all points in the universe connected?
All points in the universe are connected in such a way that they are affected by the same forces like gravity and electromagnetism. Since matter carries energy, such objects will have a gravitational field. No particle in space is free from gravitational forces.
Any object that has mass generates a gravitational field. If an object meets another object, a gravitational force is created between the bodies, so the objects are always attracted to each other by gravity.
The universe is made up of many individual objects called solid matter and the empty space that surrounds them. Yet empty space predominates, and solid matter does not make up any 1% of the total universe.
When we look at an atom, it seems to us that all its parts are connected into a whole, but if we increase it enough we would notice that there is an empty space between its parts, but this does not mean that an atom does not form a whole for itself. The same logic can be applied to any object in the universe and ultimately to the universe as a whole.
The human mind can hardly conjure up the connection of all points in the universe, but that does not mean that such a connection does not exist. The forces acting on the solid mater enable the connection of all objects in the universe, and thus perhaps seemingly insignificant small particles create events that can completely change the planet and thus the universe.
Are all points in space and time connected?
It all starts with Einstein and his theory of special relativity. Studying the speed of light, Einstein concluded that the speed of light is constant, but for this to be true, space and time must be related.
A person flying in a shuttle has the feeling that he is going at a normal speed, even at some moments that he is moving slowly, and he experiences time differently. If I objectively observe the flight speed of the shuttle we would say it goes at an incredible speed, but for a person inside the shuttle, this is not the case.
Let’s go a step further. Objects in space such as Earth, Moon, asteroids, humans create distortions in space and time and distort them in ways in which everything in space moves thus changing the predicted path of movement.
To make it easier to understand the connection between the universe and time, we use events, places at a given time. There are no regions in spacetime in which we could draw the line between one event and another event in some other region.
All events are connected in time and space and can be merged, while on the other hand, it is very difficult to draw the line between them. The causal connection of events tells us that one event can affect another event.
Is everything in the universe connected?
Yes, everything in the universe is connected. The universe itself is a huge cosmic space of nothingness. All the particles in the universe float freely, from time to time forming some event that results in a change. Simply put, just as events on one side of the Earth affect events on the other side of the earth, the same thing happens with the universe. The universe is a single whole consisting of an object composed of different forms but from the same or similar particles.
When we start from the smallest chemical elements, we will see how they combine into molecules, and the molecules then combine into atoms. Development continues and the particles connect and thus create the human body, stars, planets, asteroids, plants, animals and many other things.
Whatever object it is, everything starts from particles that are in space and that merge to result in something bigger and more complex, but ultimately it’s all part of the universe so it’s hard to refute the fact that everything in space is connected.
Imagine sitting in your apartment and then start imagining what is outside of your apartment. Your floor, your building, neighborhood, city, county, state, continent, country, and then move on. As Earth, we are part of the solar system, and the solar system is only a small part of the universe. These mental exercises are used in some types of meditation and show how we are part of something bigger and how everything in the universe is connected.
How is the universe connected to us?
Like the universe, the man did not come into being overnight. Changes in space, the big bang, deaths of stars and supernovae have resulted in the creation of our planet. By evolving and adapting to the conditions of life on Earth, the man was created over time.
Although we do not have the answers that reveal all the details to us this time, our connection to the universe is indisputable. The human body as well as the universe contains the elements we need to survive. Our body like all objects in the universe is made of chemical elements and atoms.
Our body needs magnesium, iron, calcium and other elements. Our body is made up of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, potassium and so on. The 11 elements we find in the universe are crucial to human life. Besides, the human body is made up of an average of 53% water. Water is not everywhere in space, but it is on our planet Earth, which is itself part of the solar system, and ultimately the universe.
We are not only connected to the universe, but we are also part of the universe. Humans are only a small part of the universe, almost insignificant in a sea of other large objects, but humans are also a special part of the universe. We can think and have an awareness that allows us to understand the connection between everything in the universe. In a way, we are the consciousness of the universe because no one else has the ability to think about what is given to us.
How are humans connected to stars?
For years, there is a theory that human bodies are made of stardust, and recent research confirms this connection. Scientists believe that our bodies are made of remnants of stars and massive explosions in the galaxies. The stars at the end of their life cycle swell up and fall together thus releasing their outer layers into space.
Therefore, most of the material we are made of comes from the stars, some that disintegrated millions of years ago and others that disintegrated relatively recently, for example, a thousand years ago.
These particles have found their way into plants and organisms on the planet earth, and ultimately through plants, we get the nutrients we need for everything we do. The human body has 97 percent of the same kind of atoms and chemical elements as the stars. Yet the human body has different amounts of certain elements compared to the stars.
Is everyone in the world connected?
History has shown that the actions of one man can have consequences for the whole world. Most often, such stories are sad and scary, but let’s just look at how much influence Adolf Hitler left on the world as a whole.
On the other hand, one man can initiate positive change and lead people around the world and lead them to move and do something like Martin Luther King did. Stories like this show us how connected we are, and this is especially true today in a globalized world.
Wherever you are on the planet, your actions affect the people around you, and then your influence spreads further and further. Everyone and everything in the world and the universe is connected although this is not always obvious at first glance.
