Scientists are confident that the universe is constantly pulsating. For example, you are sitting and reading this text, and our planet, like the entire Galaxy, is expanding. Striking but true.
At the moment, the Milky Way galaxy (that is, all its stars and planets, too) is undergoing a process of expansion, which sooner or later will be replaced by contraction and then expansion again.
“There are pulsation cycles to which all matter in the Universe is subject. In our Galaxy, the pulsation cycle is measured in hundreds of millions of years. Specifically, now the Galaxy, and with it the Earth, is expanding,”the ToDay News Ufa information resource quotes authoritative scientists.
More than two hundred million years ago, when the planet Earth began to expand sharply due to the pulsation of the Galaxy, the ancient supercontinent Gondwana split into parts, as a result of which the Earth's surface began to acquire its modern appearance. On Earth, in particular, modern oceans appeared.
The expansion of the Earth, as experts suggest, will be observed for at least another fifteen to seventeen million years, and then our planet will begin to contract sharply. Nobody knows yet how this will turn out for the earth's biosphere.
