Theoretically, life can take many different forms, such as silicon-based life, sulphur-based life, carbon-based life, amino-life, hydrogen-based life, etc. However, so far we only know that life exists on earth, and all known life, including us humans, is carbon-based.

The more "nucleons" an atomic nucleus contains, the greater its mass, but scientists have found that the average mass of the "nucleons" of different elements is different

The universe is so unimaginably large that even if humans were able to travel at infinitely close to the speed of light, they would not be able to penetrate its mysteries. Fortunately, the speed of light is not the speed limit of the universe, so it is entirely conceivable that in the distant future, humans may somehow be able to escape the shackles of the speed of light.

In the past days, scientists have been working on the study of meteorites, and as the research continues, there is more and more evidence that life should originate from outer space

If someone asks the question, are humans alone in the universe? I believe that most people would answer in the negative. In fact, the scientific community also generally agrees that there are a large number of intelligent civilisations in the vast universe, some of which may even be far ahead of our civilisation, and in order to better describe the technological level of intelligent civilisations in the universe, scientists have also proposed the concept of "Cosmic civilisation levels".

The "four great beasts" of physics actually exist only in thought experiments, and their proposal helps to develop and improve the relevant theories

A rigorous discussion of the unknown is not possible, so it is necessary to narrow down the universe we are discussing to only the universe we can see

Scientists using modern observation equipment have determined the size, position, distance and other data of most of the objects in our galaxy

The solar system is a system of celestial bodies kept in motion by the sun's gravity, which means that all bodies within the effective range of the sun's gravity are part of the solar system, so by this definition, how large is the solar system?

In a good night sky, we can always see a sky full of stars and it seems to us that the whole universe is in full view. In fact, the stars we see in the night sky are only a tiny part of the milky way galaxy, which is just one of the trillions of galaxies that exist in the observable universe.
