| The existence of fizzy bubbles around the atmosphere is an amazing phenomenon as the temperature of these bubbles is up to ten millions degree centigrade. Why did Allah exploit it?…. |
The CNN website had published scientific news that the astronomers discovered huge explosions in the atmosphere around the earth, because of the explosion of giant bubbles of a very hot air which ascends and grow in size then it explode in the space around the earth.
Astronomers had found that this activity occur when the magnetic field of the earth meets a constant stream of particles flowing out from the sun. The scientists call these bubbles “density holes” In them; gas density is 10 times lower. The gas in the bubbles is 18,000,000 Fahrenheit (10,000,000 Celsius) instead of the 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit of the surrounding hot gas, which is known as plasma.
Scientists started to study these bubbles by a research team from the European space agency, the mission of that team called “cluster” which consisted of four space crafts. Concerning the temperature of these bubbles the team thought there is something wrong with their machines and gauges but George Parks from university of Californian said “Then I looked at the data from all four Cluster spacecraft. These anomalies were being observed simultaneously by all the spacecraft. That’s when I believed that they were real”.
Prof. Parks and his colleagues say that these bubbles extend to1000 kilometer and it last for ten seconds before it explodes. The scientists don’t know exactly the reason and the way of forming these bubbles but they think that it is formed by the collision of solar winds with the magnetic field around the earth, they calls this phenomenon “the bow shock”. This phenomenon is similar to the wake formed by the front of a boat. That discovery may help the researchers in “the physics of plasma”.
Here we can ask ourselves, why did Allah put these bubbles around the earth? Scientists say that any phenomenon in the universe should have a purpose and target but that is despite their belief that universe came by coincidence!!!
But as a Muslims, we possess the greatest book on earth, we believe that God had created the earth and fit it for life, as He be blessed and exalted had created not only the atmosphere but also a very strong magnetic field and He added and exploited in addition bubbles to explode and to heat around the atmosphere to keep us and to be as a barrier between us and the killing solar winds.
Scientists say that the coming solar winds toward the earth may burn this planet!! But it’s the mercy of Allah to provide our planet with different methods of protections to save and keep our atmosphere as He be blessed made it as a roof over our heads.
Here we can understand God’s saying: (And we have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds, etc.).)(Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ’- verse 32). Glory to Allah as He said (And we have made the heaven a roof) as the atmosphere around us needs the power of God to save us not its own power because no creature has any power but the power of Allah , don’t we have to thank Allah for His graces?
(And if you count the Blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them. Verily, man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, a disbeliever) (Sûrat Ibrâhîm- verse34).
