What Makes Me Interested: The Universe

The Universe is everything that exists. It contains everything including us, our planet, the sun and anything you see when you look up at the night sky. The Universe is a place of great oddities. Some people say that it was the creation God, while others say that it simply just came into existence and some people think that it was never created, it was just here. Either way, we will never be certain of how it came into creation (or if it even did). 

The Universe is a perplexing place and has baffled people long before Galileo first pointed his telescope towards the sky. The Universe has had a relatively dramatic effect on the world. Many scientists have been threatened to be tortured, while others paid the full price with their life. This cruel punishment usually came after making statements that were either against their religious beliefs or were just plain stupid. A perfect example of this is the famous astronomer, Galileo Galilei. He was told to deny his theory of how objects move under the threat of torture and possible execution. There have been numerous cases just like this one and some have turned ugly. 

The Universe has had a great affect on me and has intrigued me a great deal. I started studying the Universe when I was I year 1. It has now become a hobby and a leisure time activity. I want to continue studying this subject and hope to be involved in it in some way when I am a bit older. 

Most people think that the universe is a boring place but in actual fact it is amazing. If you are one of those people who have nothing to do when they’ve done their homework or when there’s nothing to watch on T.V; then get out a book on the universe or surf the net. Who knows you might even discover a comet!
