The role of space science research with human development

According to Professor of Physics Joel Primack (cosmologist) why do we study the universe? Or how important is our understanding of space science to human development? There are many mysteries that humanity really wants to know , for example: Where do we come from? Where did the universe come from?

In the past decade, with the emergence of a series of new generation telescopes, the result has been a consensus with colleagues in developing the theory of cold dark matter with a constant or still energy. called black energy. The vast majority of matter in the universe is completely invisible. They have no atomic structure, in fact these forms of matter are not even composed of atoms like protons, neutrons and electrons. They are completely different. Therefore, for the first time in the history of Astronomy, we really need a theory of how the whole universe works.

Nancy Ellen Abrams (wife and colleague of Professor Joel Primack) my work explores the meaning of cosmology to the development of human civilization. That's what I do. When Joel and colleagues discovered the fundamental problems of the universe, I always wondered, "What do these findings mean to mankind? How is living? How is the structure? "

Physics professor Joel Primack we do not know whether the universe is endless, or the universe consists of a series of overarching designs. The answer is, now we are starting to understand how to create the universe, which obviously has a wide range of extensive and multi-faceted designs, we cannot understand. For example, our planetary system, or solar system, is truly extraordinary in many ways, many different views. We have discovered more than a thousand of our extraterrestrial planetary systems and we discover it very quickly. But we have never really observed to understand them thoroughly.

According to Nancy Ellen Abrams the concern of humanity is not the center of the universe, but the future of the Earth. Our generation, who live today, is responsible for preserving traditional cultural values, at the speed of growth and humanity, to develop sustainably. We, who live today, may be the most important generation, and more than ever, because we will have to manage this transition. So that's where I think cosmology can play a huge role in really changing human perception and can help humans prevent life-threatening dangers. on the earth, from outer space.
