Post Copernican Conjecture

Page 3: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

The Conjecture in colloquial language

• “ I am the Monarch of all I survey. • My subjects will live by my rules • in peaceful coexistence or • be destroyed • to keep my kingdom • in minimum conflict state”.

Page 4: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

The Conjecture in colloquial language cont’d

• So there is a Monarch in all sub-systems going up the ladder.

• It is this Monarch who provides stability and peaceful co-existence

• to his respective kingdom and • consequently to the whole Galactic Empire.

The Conjecture states that:

• There is self similar pattern at every level of hierarchy of our Universe.

• At every level we see Solar-System like binary with multiple secondaries.

• Moons, Asteroids and KBO have their satellites• Asteroids with satellites are observed throughout the

Solar System from sub-km near_Earth Asteroid pairs to systems of large and distant bodies in Kuiper Belt.

• 15% of near-Earth and main-belt asteroids with diameter under 10km have satellites.

Page 6: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Conjecture continues• Main –belt asteroid Ida has its own moon

Dactyl.• At Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) level, Pluto has

four moons.• KBO, ‘Haumea’ has two moons. • There are nearly 100 known asteroid binaries,

nearly half of which are in Kuiper Belt.

Planets imitate Solar Systems

• Solar System repeats itself at Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune level .

• Earth has one Moon, • Mars has two moons-Phobos and Deimos,• Jupiter has 38 moons, • Saturn has 33 moons, • Uranus has four moons and • Neptune has 13 moons.

Most of the stars are Exo-Solar System

• 708 exo-planets found till 17th December, 2011.

• Exo-planets are planets orbiting other stars in our vicinity.

• 81 multiple exo-planet systems have been discovered till now

Page 9: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

A Galaxy is also solar-system like.

• All the stars within a galaxy are orbiting around a Super Massive Black Hole (SMBH)

• the stars in a Galaxy are confined to the galactic plane with a disk like structure as seen in Figure 3.

• This is just like our Solar System.• In our Solar System planets are confined to

ecliptic plane

What is a Cluster ?• Galaxies are clumped in Clusters. • It is not clumping. • The galaxies are gravitationally bound into a

Cluster. • Milky Way belongs to the cluster named Local

Group. • Local Group is also a disk like structure with a

diameter of 10 million ly. • It comprises of 3 large galaxies and 46 dwarf

galaxies and 700 billion stars in total.

Page 13: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

What is the dominant galaxy in a Cluster ?

• Every cluster has a massive cD Galactic core to ensure stability and minimum Gibb’s free energy.

• Every sub-system and system goes to a configuration with minimum total energy(this point will be elucidated after a few slides)

Page 14: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Next hierarchy level is Super-Cluster

• Clusters clump into Super-clusters. • Our Local Group belongs to Virgo Super

Cluster also known as Local Super Cluster. • This is a large scale structure in the Universe.• The center of mass of the local group and

Virgo Cluster occupy the core of the Super cluster imparting stability to the large scale structure .

Page 15: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Walls and Filaments

• Superclusters are not spherical but form flattened walls or elongated filaments as much as 50Mpc in length.

• Galaxy filaments consist of Super Cluster Complexes or Great Walls.

• These are massive, thread-like structure with a typical length of 50 to 80 Mpc that form boundaries between the voids.

Page 16: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Voids

• Cosmic voids and supervoids are large volumes of space that are devoid of baryonic matter as well as dark matter.

• Super-Void is a visual entity which is devoid of galaxies regardless of luminosity, size or shape.

• These are circular in cross-section and apparently closed on all sides by galaxies.

• The filamentary structure of galactic superclusters surrounds the void.

• Largest is 100Mpc in diameter.

Page 17: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

What is the filamentary structure?

• Filaments are long, thin structures of galaxies like threads much longer than their cross-section.

• Walls are much wider but flatter than filaments.

• Their longest length is 0.5×109Mpc.

SLOAN WALL

• Figure 5. The Sloan Great Wall was first identified in 2003 as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and is probably the largest structure in the known Universe.

• It is around 420 Mpc (c. 1.4 billion light years) long, and around 300 Mpc away, though estimates do vary.

• Shown in the image to the right with the Shapley Supercluster, and parts of the Pisces-Cetus filament and Horologium-Reticulum Supercluster.

Sculptor Wall(southern wall)

• Figure 6. The map above is a slice of the Universe which shows the Sculptor Wall.

• The map is a plot 7400 bright galaxies in the vicinity of the Sculptor Wall.

• Top of the map is 800Mly from the bottom where Milky Way is situated.

• Red line shows the Sculptor Wall. • Nearest part of the wall (Phoenix Super Cluster) lies

next to a large rectangular void. • This is one of the largest void in the nearby Universe.

What is Dark Matter?

• Red Slide is the Dark Matter .• Blue Slide is the Baryonic Matter.• Neutron, Protons and Electrons are Baryonic

Matter.• Weakly Interacting Massive Particles(WIMP)

constitute the dark matter.

Page 28: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

How was dark matter detected?

• Milky Way Rotation Curve dynamics can be explained by Dark Matter only.

• the observed value of the tangential velocity is almost constant with increasing distance from the center of Milky Way .

• and this is solely due to 90% excess dark matter. This gives a ratio of 1:1.89 =Baryonic Matter: Dark Matter whereas at our Universe level it is 1:5.

Page 30: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Dark Matter builds the scaffolding or the skeleton around which our Universe is

built

• Galactic Halo contains ‘dark matter’ and the major reservoir of gaseous feedstock for the birth of stars and for the growth of BH.

• The contribution of Dark Matter goes on increasing as we go to the scaled up versions of the cosmological sub-systems.

• Milky Way gives a ratio of 1:1.89 =Baryonic Matter: Dark Matter

• whereas at our Universe level it is 1:5

Page 31: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Dark Matter continued.

• Dark matter fills up the Local Group halo. • It interacts with the visible matter gravitationally • and it is 10 times as abundant in Local Group.• Total hot gas mass = 6×mass of the visible stars ;• Dark Matter = 6×hot gas mass=6×6×mass of the

visible stars=36×mass of the visible stars.• Hence visible star mass constitutes only 2.7% of

cluster’s total mass in COMA Cluster. Rest is Dark Matter.

Page 32: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Dark Matter Continued

• In a work by Klypin, Anatoly et al (2003) it was shown that if Ү●= MO/LO for Sun-like-Star the mass to luminosity ratio for Galaxies and Clusters comes out to be Ү●= K.(MO/LO) where K = 2 to 10.

• For Local SuperCluster ‘K’ come out to be 300 and for Milky Way it comes out to be 2.7.

• This variation in ‘K’ is the clinching evidence in favour of the dark matter.

Page 33: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Dark Matter Continued• In 1933, Fritz Zwicky was working on COMA cluster of galaxies. • There was too little visible matter to hold together the cluster

together. • The cluster seemed to be orbiting around a central massive core

too fast. • Four decades later this kind of missing mass was found in

Galaxies also. • So it was postulated that each galaxy is embedded in a vast

clump of dark matter known as ‘halo’. • Dark Matter is inferred from the gravitational effects • Dark Matter is inferred from the gravitational lensing of the

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR).

MACS0717-Cosmic Collision

• Four clusters, consisting of 1000 galaxies, are converging along a filament 13.5Mly long.

• This filament consists of galaxies, gas clouds and mainly dark matter.

• Such filament of dark matter seem to permeate the Universe and draw in galaxies, clusters and superclusters as well as intergalactic gas clouds from less dense region.

Page 35: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP
Page 36: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Dark Matter Continued.• The Standard Model of particle physics and Big Bang

theory of the birth of our Universe cannot account for large cosmological structures, so in the actual cosmology it is hypothesized that such structures as the Great Wall form along and follow web-like threads of dark matter.

• It is thought that this dark matter dictates the structure of the Universe on the grandest of scales.

• Dark matter gravitationally attracts baryonic matter, and it is this normal matter that astronomers see forming long, thin filaments and walls of super-galactic clusters.

• But then the big question arises as to how does dark matter distribute itself ?

Page 37: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

The Origin of Dark Matter

• Quantum Mechanical fluctuations in the Universe emerging from the Big Bang gave rise to the small inhomogenities which will act as the future seeds of the super clusters, cluster and galaxies.

• These inhomogenities attracted the surrounding matter gravitationally and grew into lumps called haloes.

Page 38: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Origin of Dark Matter continued

• The nine panels below illustrate the formation of an elliptical galaxy by showing how the dark matter (left column), the gas (centre column) and the stars (right column) are distributed at three epochs in the expansion of the Universe: when the Universe was 1/5 of its current size at 1.8Gy (redshift z = 4), when the Universe was 1/3 of its current size (z = 2)at 3Gy, and today (z = 0)at 13.7Gy after the Big Bang.

Page 40: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Evolution of DarkMatter at 1.8Gy, 3Gy and 13.7Gy after the Big Bang.

• The gravity of the dark matter dominates the evolution on large scales (left column).

• As time passes, the Universe becomes lumpier• the dark matter clumps via gravity into haloes

(bright orange spots in the left panels).

Page 41: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Evolution of Gas at 1.8Gy, 3Gy and 13.7Gy after the Big Bang.

• The centre column zooms into the region around and inside a halo;

• The halo radius is shown as a white circle, • and the gas is colour-coded according to its

temperature: • blue is cold, green (and red) is hot.

Page 42: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Evolution of Gas at 1.8Gy, 3Gy and 13.7Gy after the Big Bang. (continued)

• Initially the halo is small, and the gas streams into the halo down to its centre in cold flows.

• When the halo reaches the critical mass Mcrit 1012 (z = 2), the gas begins to form a hot atmosphere (green);

• eventually, all the gas within the halo is hot (z = 0).

Page 43: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Star Formation at 1.8Gy,3Gy and at 13.7Gy after the Big Bang

• The galaxy is initially a blue spiral (z = 4) and it has a high rate of star formation.

• It starts to become red when the halo gas starts to be hot (z = 2) and star formation starts falling.

• By then, its halo has merged with neighbouring haloes to form a galaxy group.

• Mergers with companions eventually transform the galaxy into an elliptical (z = 0)

Page 45: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Red Ellipticals & Blue Spirals

• Galaxies are classified into two main types:• spirals that mainly grew through gas accretion

('S', shown in blue) and • ellipticals that mainly grew through mergers

with other galaxies ('E', shown in red). • 'S0' galaxies are an intermediate type, but we

assimilate them to ellipticals.

Page 46: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

(Red)Bulge mass ratio=1:1000

• Spirals have central bulges, shown in red, that resemble miniature ellipticals.

• All ellipticals and bulges within spirals contain a central black hole, shown with a black dot.

• Moreover, ellipticals and bulges within spirals have the same black-hole mass to stellar mass ratio, of the order of 0.1%.

The Limit of Growth of Black Hole

• For a given black hole mass, there is a maximum AGN luminosity, called the Eddington limit,

• above which the radiation-pressure force outwards exceeds the gravitational force inwards,

• suppressing the gas flow onto the black hole.

Page 50: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

The Limit of Growth of Black Hole

• The velocity dispersion is the bulge property that is most closely linked to the black hole

• because it determines the depth of the potential well from which the gas has to be expelled, and thus the minimum black hole mass for feedback.

• At the Eddington Limit , star formation is halted and BH growth is stopped and Galaxy is switched off.

Page 51: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Where does Primary-centric Formulation come into picture?

• In the Copernican Frame-work, Kepler’s Third Law places no restriction on the semi-major axis of the secondary in a binary.

• Kepler’s Third Law:• a^3×Ω^2=G(Mpri+Msec)• This makes all orbits permissible as long as we

have the right Orbital Period of the binary.

Page 52: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Primary-centric Framework.

• ω/Ω = LOM/LOD = E×a^3/2 –F×a^2=1 Eqa 1.• Where E= Jt/(BC) and • F=[Msec/(1+Msec/Mpri)]×(1/C)• C= polar moment of inertia=0.4MpriRpri^2• B=[G(Mpri+Msec)]^(1/2)• Jt= total angular momentum of the binary• =Jspin_pri+Jspin_sec+Jorbit.

Page 53: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Primary Centric Framework continued

• Eq 1 implies triple synchrony;• Pspin_pri=Pspin_sec=Porbit• In case of Earth-Moon, ω/Ω = LOM/LOD where• LOM=Sidereal Month=27.3d• LOD=Length of Sidereal

Day=23.9344694hrs/24h=0.997269d• LOM/LOD=27.37.

Page 54: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Roots of LOM/LOD=1 in E-M System

• aG1=inner geosynchronous orbit=1.46×10^7m• Porbit at aG1 is 5 hours;• aG2=outer geosynchronous

orbit=5.529×10^8m;• Porbit at aG2 is 47 day;• Present orbit is 3.844×10^8m;Present orbit

period=27.3d; Moon is receding at 3.8cm/yr. The outward expanding spiral path is shown below.

Page 56: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

What are the results for Man-made satelite around Earth

• The mass ratio =q=(Msat/Mearth)is much less than 10^-4 hence

• aG2 = Infinite, Time constant of evolution= Infinite;

• aG1= 36,000Km from the surface of the Earth• This is defined as geo-synchronous orbit.• In other binaries these two roots will be called

Clarke’s Orbits

Page 57: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Lessons of Primary-centric analysis.

• First lesson:All orbits are not permissible• Second lesson:For significant mass ratio i.e.

from 0.1 to 1, Time scale of evolution = short• In case of Pulsar Pairs, Star pairs or Brown

Dwarf pairs the binary is formed by hydro-dynamic instability and in a short time the seperation of the two components is aG2.

• This has been tested for Hulse-Taylor PSR Pair and for Pre-cataclysmic binary NN Serpentis.

Page 58: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Lessons continued

• For 0.0001< q < 0.1, formation is by core accretion or capture and time scale of migratrion from aG1 to aG2 is Gy to My to Ky as we go up the mass ratio.

• So binaries in this mass ratio will have an evolutionary history.

Page 59: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Lessons continued

• For mass ratio q<0.0001 corresponds to insignificant mass ratio.

• Time scale and aG2 will approach infinity.• This implies the secondary will remain stay put

in aG1. It will hardly evolve out of it.• Schodal et.al.(2001) have found the orbits of

several stars around the MBH of our Galaxy. It will correspond to aG1 of our Galaxy.

Page 60: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Lessons continued

• Similarly the exercise can be continued to Cluster;

• To Super Cluster;• To Galaxy Merger due to death spiral and

dynamics of minor and major both can be analyzed.

• The enigma of Kepler16 has been unravelled.• I am in the process of reporting it.

Page 61: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

What is death spiral?

• If a secondary tumbles short of aG1 it gets caught in a sub-synchronous orbit and starts spiraling-in;

• This collapsing spiral orbit is known as death spiral.

• Phobos is caught in death spiral and in 10My it is likely to impact Mars;

• All hot-jupiters are trapped in death spiral.

Page 62: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Death Spiral in case of satellite-planet

• This final merger in a death spiral takes place in every binary system only the scale of the impact varies.

• In satellite-planet merger the impact will be of the scale several orders of magnitude greater than what was seen in Shoemaker Levy 9’s Comet impact on Jupiter.

Page 63: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Death Spiral in ExoPlanet

• In planet-planet hosting star merger, there are clear accretion signatures in form of IR excess and 7Li enrichment [Carlberg et. al. (2009), Jackson et. al. (2007)].

• There can be tidal heating and bloating of the planet size as seen in HD20458b [Jackson et. al. (2008)].

Page 64: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Death Spiral in ExoPlanet continued

• WASP-18b is racing to a similar fate of doomsday [Hellier et.al. (2009)].

• HD82943 has already engulfed its planet [Israelin et.al. (2001)]

Page 65: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Death Spiral around a Massive Black Hole

• In Star – Super Massive Black Hole at the center of a Galaxy interaction

• we have only recently observed:• ‘a possible Relativistic Jetted Outburst from a

Massive Black Hole fed by a tidally disrupted Star’,

• [ SOM_Apendix F, Bloom et.al. (2011), Levan et.al (2011)]

Page 66: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Tidally induced spiral expansion

• The secondary which falls long of aG1 is in super-synchronous orbit.

• This is the case with Moon. • Moon orbits in 27.3 days and Earth spins in 1

day. • Hence Earth’s tidal bulge leads the Earth-Moon

radius vector as shown in Figure A.1. • This results in a tidal drag on Earth which leads

to secular lengthening of our diurnal day.

Page 67: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Tidally induced spiral expansion contd

• Length of Day has increased from 5 hours to 24 hours over a period of 4.467Gy , the age of Earth and Moon.

• This simultaneously leads to the spiraling out of Moon. Receding at 3.8cm/yr

• Moon was formed at 18,000Km just beyond Roches’ limit.

• Today it is at 384,400Km from Earth.

Page 68: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP
Page 69: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Tidally induced spiral collapse or spiral-in or death spiral

• The secondary which falls short of aG1 is in sub-synchronous orbit.

• This is the case with Phobos, a moon of Mars. Phobos orbits in 0.319 day and Mars spins in 1.02596 day.

• Hence Mars’ tidal bulge axis lags the Mars-Phobos radius vector as shown in Figure A.2.

• This results in a tidal acceleration of Mars which leads to secular shortening or spin-up of Mars diurnal day. Length of Day i.e. spin-period of Mars has reduced from 1.0263d to 1.02596d.

Page 70: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Tidally induced spiral collapse or spiral-in or death spiral

• This simultaneously leads to the spiral-in of Phobos from 20,432Km to the present orbit of 9,377.2Km.

• According to my calculations [personal communication: http://arXiv.org/abs/0805.1454 ]

• Phobos is losing altitude at the rate of 18.29cm per year and

• in next 10My it will merge with Mars.

Inner Clarkes Orbit is energy maxima

• Total Energy of Earth-Moon System = Rotational Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy + Translational Kinetic Energy.

• Translational Kinetic Energy can be neglected since it is several orders of magnitude less than (Rotational +Potential)energy.

• It is 1×108Joules• Rotational Kinetic Energy of the order of

1×1030Joules

Page 74: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Outer Clarkes Orbit is energy maxima

• Moon is launched on extra-synchronous orbit • it spirals out from inner to outer

geosynchronous orbit. • In our case, Moon is fully formed beyond Roches’

Limit which is 18,000Km just beyond inner Clarke’s orbit or inner Geo-synchronous Orbit

• hence Moon is launched on expansionary spiral orbit towards outer Clarke’s Orbit or outer Geo-synchronous Orbit

Measurement of Baryonic Matter/Dark Matter

• Launch of COBE(Cosmic Background Explorer) started the era of precision measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background(CMB) Radiation.

• What is CMB ?

Inflationary Phase of our Universe

• According to Big Bang theory, our Universe started from a singularity.

• It rapidly inflated to a very large size in 10-30

seconds. • Its event Horizon expanded faster than light

speed. This lasted from 10-43 seconds to 10-

35seconds. • After 10-30seconds. Universe expanded sedately

and monotonically.[Schilling (2001)]

At 10^-43 sec after the Big Bang

• Below 1019GeV, super symmetry is broken • and Universe makes a phase transition from

Quantum Gravitation to Grand Unified Phase. • Gravitational force decoupled • and relic Gravitons were left behind • which we should be able to measure but have

not been able to measure till now.

Page 81: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

At 10-10sec, temperature fell to 100GeV.

• phase transition from Grand Unified Phase to Electro-weak phase.

• Weak force decouples • and relic Intermediate Vector Bosons W+, W-

and Z0 are left behind.• Below 100GeV, weak forces and electro-

magnetic forces are separated.

Page 82: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

At 10-6sec, temperature fell to 1GeV.

• Below 1 GeV, there is Quark-Nucleon Phase transition.

• Strong forces get decoupled, • quarks are confined to baryons (which are

triplets of quarks) • and mesons (which are doublets) • and relic quarks are left behind.

At 380,000 years after the Big-Bang Temp. falls below 4000K.

• Below 4000K, plasma gets neutralized into a neutral gaseous mixture of H2 and He.

• Radiation decouples leaving behind relic photons.

• Today after 13.7Gy, these Relic Photons have cooled to 2.7K Black Body Radiation.

• This 2.7K Black Body Radiation is known as Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation(CMB radiation).

CMB carries the imprint of matter distribution at the time of parting

• When temperature fell below 4000K, matter and radiation got decoupled and matter changed from ionized state to neutral state.

• But the Black body Radiation carried the imprint of the matter density distribution at the time of parting at 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

Ripples in CMB

• If today we have such a non-uniformity of matter distribution

• then at 380,000years after the Big Bang • we should have the seeds of this non-

uniformity • and this imprint should be present as ripples

in CMB radiation.

In 1960s, discovery of isotropic CMB

• Wilson and Panzias discover absolutely isotropic CMB.

• In 1990, a satellite called COBE ( Cosmic Background Explorer) measured the spectrum and temperature variations in the radiation pattern.

• The spectrum was exactly as expected for 2.7K Black Body radiator.

• The temperature variation was 1 in 100,000.

Image of the infant COSMOS

• To refine the CMB radiation pattern studies, • in 2001 Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe

was launched (WMAP). • In February 2003, the image of the infant

cosmos only 380,000yrs old was received. • The results from WMAP reveal that the CMB

temperature variations follow a distinctive pattern predicted by cosmological theory: the hot and cold spots fall in characteristic sizes

Interpretation of WMAP

• The hot spots or the red spots in CMB image are the images of compressed, dense plasma region and

• cold spots or the blue spots in CMB are the signature of rarefied plasma.

• The red spots will act as the seeds for super clusters.

• These super-clusters hierarchically gave rise to clusters, clusters gave rise to galaxies and galaxies rise to stars and solar systems.

Dark-energy discovered

• In July 2003, Scientists superimposed SDSS data on the microwave intensity map developed by WMAP. They conclusively proved that there is what is known as integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect.

• This is a definitive proof of dark energy dominance in our present Universe.

Page 91: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Results of WMAP

• The results from WMAP have been corroborated

• by SLOAN Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) and • by Supernovae Cosmology Project[ Seife

(2003), Goldhaber & Perlmutter(1998)] • and they are the following:

Page 92: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Results of WMAP continued

• There is 4% ordinary Baryonic matter, 23% dark matter composed of exotic particles and 73% dark energy;

• The Hubble Constant has been nailed at HO = Rate of expansion of our Universe= 71Km/(sec-Mpc);

• The age of our Universe is fixed at 13.7Gy;• Supernovae Cosmology Project is consistent with

Flat Universe with Cosmology Constant being non-zero and positive.

Page 93: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Methodology of arriving at 4% Baryonic matter :23% Dark Matter

• Let normalized actual (matter+energy) density =ΩO = Ωact/Ωcrit where Ωcrit=(3Ho^2)/(8πG)

• Ωo = Ωm + ΩΛ = 1 for a flat Universe• Through the 42 type Ia Supernovae studies we

get the following:• ΩM = 0.28 hence ΩΛ = 0.72.

Page 94: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Final Ratio= Baryonic Matter:DarkMatter:Dark Energy

• Since Light Emitting Matter = Ordinary Baryonic Matter which contributes 0.01 to the normalized matter density of 0.28 therefore we can say that:

• Baryonic Matter:Dark Matter:Dark Energy =• 0.01:0.27:0.72 = • 1% : 27% : 72%.• By further refining the measurements • Baryonic Matter:Dark Matter:Dark Energy • = 4% : 23% : 73%.

Page 95: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Implications of 73% dark energy

• 73% dark energy implies that eventually everything will become cold

• and hence dead • therefore this is a very unlikely scenario • and this one thing puts a big question mark on

the Big Bang Theory.

What are the alternative to Big Bang ?

• Paul Steinhardt of Princeton University and • Neil Turok of Cambridge University • have proposed a new hypothesis • “Endless Universe- beyond the Big Bang” • by Random Press.

Page 97: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Proposed Hypothesis of Cyclic Universe

• They propose that we live in a 10-D space and 1-D time.

• In this 10-D space there are two 3-D Universes which are connected to each other by 7th dimension.

• The 7th extra dimension is the gap between two parallel objects called Branes.

• These two Branes collide and create the Big-Bang without any singularity and without any gravitational waves radiation.

Page 98: Primary-centric World-View proposes a Fractal Architecture of the Universe- A Post Copernican Conjecture. Bijay Kumar Sharma Retired Professor from NITP

Cyclic Universe continued.

• Everything else will remain the same. • We would still get the CMB radiation map as we

are getting. • There will still be continuous expansion leading

to a cold Universe. • But before they are dead the two universes

collide and reset the clock. • The cycle again begins. This goes on ad-

infinitum.

Conclusion

• We live in a cyclic Universe;• Universe has a fractal architecture;• It is configuring and re-configuring to minimum

energy state.• All the celestial objects are in a coupled binary

configurations.• If there are free, floating objects they are in a

transitory stage. Eventually they will get coupled.

Conclusion cont’d

• All the celestial bodies with q >0.1 are in outer Clarke’s Orbit or asymptotically approaching it which is defined in terms of spin-orbit-globe parameters of the two components;

• Bodies with 0.0001< q < 0.1 are in migratory phase from aG1 to aG2;

• Bodies with q < 0.0001 are stay put at aG1.
