Washington - Scientists who used a robotic NASA probe have determined to be a precision age that they have measured the Universe. They say it is 13.7 billion years and also claimed that they know when the stars began to shine.

NASA said that their spacecraft from the distance of about a million miles (1.6 km) from Earth was able to look back to nearly the dawn of time to find the answers.

According to NASA researchers:

Stars started shining just 200 million years after the theoretical Big Bang, scientists said while announcing findings of the so-called Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe or WMAP mission, which claims to have gazed on the Universe when there were no stars, no galaxies, nothing except minute difference in temperature.

The difference of temperature, according to them was as little as one-millionth of a degree, but that was enough to create vast hot and cold spots that signaled the beginning of the clumping that eventually became every known structure in the Universe.

WMAP claims to have looked back in time to just 38,000 years after the Big Bang explosion that many Astronomers believe gave birth to the Universe.

According to Charles Bennett, a scientist from NASA's Goddard Space Flights Center, the Principle Investigator, said that he returned with a goldmine of new results "We have produced a new detailed full sky picture of our infant Universe, the after glow of the Big Bang."  Not only this, but also he said that he brought the Universe into sharp focus.

As per John Behcall of the Institute of the Advanced Study at Princeton University, "The announcement suggests it was as if the mature Universe, that exists now, was equivalent to a 50-year old human and the WMAP mission managed to look back in time to take precise calculations of what that human was as a 12-hour old baby.

Hubble's observations had also suggested:

(1) that there was a time, called the big bang, when the Universe was infinitesimally small and infinitely dense.

(2) that under such conditions all the laws of science, and therefore all ability to predict the future, would break down.

(3) that if there were events earlier than this time, then they could not affect what happened at the present time.

(4) that their existence can be ignored because it would have no observational consequences.

I contacted Dr. Raj Baldev, Indian Cosmo-Theorist, the author of 'Two Big Bangs Created the Universe' (Formed in Eternal Space) and requested him to offer his comments on the findings of NASA, WMAP and Hubble's famous finding, and asked him whether he still sticks to his Two Big Bang -Theory?

Dr. Raj Baldev said:

"Two Big Bang-Theory is a work of SAROUL, a scientific team and I took more than a decade to complete my research work with 349 references of different findings which support my theory and the credit goes to the entire team collectively.

"There is a little difference between the Big Bang and the theory of Two Big Bangs. In the theory of single Big Bang, the scientists believe there was only one explosion occurred at one time, whereas according to the theory of Two Big Bangs, the explosion occurred in two stages or it can be said that two explosions occurred one after the other with a difference of 1 billion years.

"According to Two Big Bang-Theory the Universe was smaller and this is confirmed by Charles Bennett, a scientist from NASA's Goddard Space Flights Center, the Principle Investigator and John Behcall of the Institute of the Advanced Study at Princeton University.

"Their observation about the small size of the Universe is right. It was really small with dense cloud of gases at the outset and then it went on growing to fill the vacant space of the first inner circuit of the Universe called 'Close Circuit' having a radius of about 100,000 trillion miles (10²³) within the first billion years.

"There are total seven Circuits of the Parent Universe of which our Universe is only a part of it. The Supernova Remnants or  Mini Supernova Balls (MSBs) were spreading all over adjoining space to fill the Close Circuit and then moving to Deep Circuit, the next Circuit, which has the radius of 100,000 sextillion miles (10⁴¹).

When giant Supernovae explode they throw unlimited Supernova remnants, which carry the aerolites and siderolites throughout that build the planets and stars.

"The third Circuit is Broad Circuit having an approximate radius of 100,000 duodecillion miles (10⁷⁷) followed by Large Circuit, Wide Circuit, Outer Circuit and Free Circuit.

"The last circuit is the infinite and eternal space. After the energy developed into matter and settled down, the normal speed of their shifting was about 5 to 10% per thousand million years.

"The joint statement given by NASA scientist and WMAP does not fully match with certain laws of physics. I would remind you about their statement in which they talk of the temperature:

"The difference of temperature, according to them was as little as one-millionth of a degree and they further said that was enough to create vast hot and cold spots that signaled the beginning of the clumping that eventually became every known structure in the Universe.

This supports the presence of cold energy, the temperature of which could be absolute minus zero temperature, and that was the Icy Era of the Parent Universe.

"The Big Bang whether single or Two caused big explosions and produced trillions of degree of temperature, naturally, the then temperature should have been the highest in both cases. The vast hot, which was caused by the explosion could only be cooled down by the vast cold, which they admit and that is the era of cold energy or Icy Era of the Parent Universe. (Cold energy is 90% and hot energy is 10% in the Universe, Cold Energy is called the Mother energy of hot energy).

"This statement supports the Icy Era of Two Big Bangs, since in the beginning when there were no galaxies, no stars and no atmosphere at all, the Primeval Particle acted like a virus and through its agents started knitting the space with gravity, electromagnetic and nuclear forces and spread it throughout the infinite space in the form of Copaf (Circuit of Particles and Forces).

As a result of knitting in the space, molecules developed to form the cold energy all over, the atmosphere was formed for the first time and the temperature went down to absolute minus i.e., -127.15 degree Celsius and that created the Icy Era which later on switched over to Era of Hot Gases."

If you go through the book,'Two Big Bangs Created the Universe' (Formed in Eternal Space), you will agree with my views as most of the scholars have appreciated. Moreover, the views given by Hubble are clear that there could be the pre-history of the Big Bang but he was not interested to unfold the mystery. for reasons best known to him. I pray excuse for this but it could possibly be in his mind that the record of his finding may not be beaten by any one else, in his life time, a human weakness?"

Hubble also stated there was a time called the big bang, when the Universe was infinitesimally small and infinitely dense. This meant that he indirectly acknowledged both categories of energy i.e., mass energy and mass-less energy, visible and non-visible energy.

While analyzing the Big Bang as infinitesimally small and infinitely dense, he gave a clear meaning that space was very much there on which these classes of energy were placed as infinitely dense, or else where they could have been placed?

"You can imagine now how the new hypothesis overshadows the Big Bang and the findings of the scientists, whether NASA, WMAP or Hubble. Don't you think the new hypothesis should be taken into account, debated and then concluded how far the new ideas could fit in.

The scientists should not forget that previous theories are always improved, no scholars are born, they make research and one of them may have developed the ability of noting the important details of the pre-history of the birth of the Universe, and the result is before you." Dr. Raj Baldev concluded.
