Are we seeing the real or just an illusion?
What is Light?
Light is a form of energy which let us to see this beautiful
world, or it just a medium through which information travel in this universe
with the fastest speed. Organisms long before evolve them to capture and
interpret this flow of information. The organ which capture the light is an
eye, but this organ was not very developed in those ancient organisms. The
first organism with eyes was planaria, but they have not very developed one.
Today many organisms have this essential organ and we are one of them, this
organ had played a great role in the survival of our ancestors and no doubt
it’s a very essential part of our body. Light helps us to understand every
action which going on our daily life, but it not only tells us about our daily
life, it can uncover the whole universe. For example, it told us that the
universe is expanding, it can tell us the direction of moving stars and
galaxies. So, let start with the basics.
Understanding it with Quantisation of energy.
When we see any object, at that time we are just observing
the beam of the light on our retina which were reflected after hitting the
surface of that object. Different material has different properties to observe
and reflect the light even some doesn’t reflect (i.e. glass which refract).
That’s why different material has different colour. Let’s discuss, from where
they got this property. To understand this first we have to understand
“Quantisation of the energy”. Quantisation is a subatomic process in which the
electron of an atom jumps to the higher energy level orbit by absorbing some
amount of energy (radiation) and it jumps to the lower energy level orbit by
loosing some amount of energy (radiation). Well what it means by high energy
level and low energy level orbits? So, let me discuss few points. In Bohr’s
atomic model, there is an infinite number of orbits are present but electrons
are present only in seven orbits. As electrons are held in an atom due to the
attractive force between proton and electron and we know that, that force is
inversely proportional to the square of their distance. That is why after a
certain distance, the attractive force between the electron and proton becomes
very weak which can’t hold the electron in an orbit. As I have mentioned that
the force acting between the proton and electron is inversely proportional to
their distance, it means the electron which is present in the first orbit of an
atom is bounded with stronger force than other six. And this force of
attraction goes weaker as we move far from the nucleus. I hope you’ve
understood high energy level and low energy level orbits. Jumping of electrons
from lower to higher energy state by gaining energy and again coming back to
its normal state by loosing some energy is called as “Quantisation of energy”. This
phenomenon is responsible for the variation in colour of different objects which
we see. When see a red apple then it will look red, but why it is red? As we know
that white light is consists of seven different colours (i.e. ROYGBIV) and each
colour of light have different frequencies. So, when we are looking a red apple
at that time apple is just absorbing all frequencies of light except the
frequency which is responsible for the red light. When you are looking a leaf,
you will find it green because it just reflecting only green light and
absorbing all remaining. And as we know that only blue and red spectrum of
light is responsible for photosynthesis. Different element absorbs different
spectrum of the light that’s why different object has different colour. For example:
the ozone (O3) layer of our atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet light
which is coming from the sun. When we look ourselves in the mirror, then we
found our exact colour. It is because mirror doesn’t absorb any colour. Many metals
reflect all light without absorbing, for example: silver, platinum, mercury,
gold, aluminium etc. So, now we know that the colour of light is determined by
its wavelength (or frequency) and wavelength is determined by the quantisation.
So, my question is “Are we looking the real world or its just illusion of
different frequencies?”. A scientist said that our world is just a projection
of other world, it is just like the projection of a film on a screen.
Do this experiment: - Observe a red paper under pure blue LED in a dark
room and tell me its colour by commenting. [HINT: - If you have understood
quantisation, then you can tell the colour without doing this experiment]

The scientists were baffled with the measurement result of supernovae type 1A. They postulate that there is a dark energy accelerating the expansion of the universe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy
I disagree with their conclusion and postulation. The flaw in their assumption is the gravitational constant has been remaining constant through time. Thus, Type 1A supernovae always went nova at the same mass, hence, would yield out the same Luminance.
According to my own model, the universe were much denser in the pass. Hence the gravitational constant would be higher. The type 1A supernovae should have smaller mass when they went novae in the pass. Thus they yield less light, and caused the scientist to wrongly conclude that they were much further away.
