Foreword:
In nature's cycle, the evolution and extinction of species is an iterative process, for example, dinosaurs were the most powerful creatures that once lived on Earth, but eventually became extinct for some reason.
Later, humans created and replaced dinosaurs on Earth as the most important animals on Earth.
In the later evolutionary process, the encyclopedia also recorded that there was an opinion that human beings would also become extinct for some reason, and in this process, the solar companion star was a very important factor.
The solar companion is a term that many people only know in popular science classes.
So what is it?
1. What is the Solar Companion Star?
Many people know that the home planet of the Earth is the Sun, but what many people don't know is that the Sun also has a companion star, and this companion star is the Avengers.
Many years ago, some scientists found some problems in the solar system, for example, a meteorite did not know why it moved abnormally close to the Earth.
So scientists began to study the solar system, and in the process of research, scientists also discovered a solar companion star on the way.
Later, scientists found that this companion star was the culprit responsible for the extinction of life on Earth.
So what exactly is it?
In physics, there is a theory that a star in the universe is not an isolated living organism, but that they will travel with other stars in the process of existence, just like humans marry and have children.
Therefore, some people speculate that the Earth's sun will also have a companion star.
Studies have shown that the Sun's companion star is a very faint star, and its existence is also speculated by scientists, and there is no 100% proof of its existence.
Scientists have found that the gravitational force in the solar system has changed through mathematical speculation, so it is speculated that the sun must have companion stars, and this situation is the same as everything on the earth, there cannot be only one sun, so scientists have calculated its existence through mathematical formulas.
Then this companion star is the solar companion star, which was born with the sun 1.5 billion years ago.
At that time, there were many stars in the solar system, so there were many stars that were brighter than it when the sun was born.
But the Avenger is not an ordinary star, it has a solid geosphere on its body, and this situation also affects its surface.
So its shape is very similar to that of Earth, and in the next 30 million years, its light became more and more dim, gradually fading its light, and finally becoming a faint red dwarf, which is not the largest red dwarf in diameter, but it is not the smallest either.
This situation has also been confirmed by the research of scientists in recent years.
According to scientists' research, the existence of the Avenger can help species on Earth survive better, which is why scientists use mathematical reasoning to confirm its existence.
However, not everyone agrees on the existence of the solar companion, and there is also a theory that the solar companion is not an ordinary star but a white dwarf, but its existence must be confirmed by scientists' research.
So whether it is a red dwarf or a white dwarf, this needs to wait for the results of subsequent studies.
2. The periodicity of the Sun's companion stars.
Since the existence of the solar companion star has a great influence on the species on Earth, how does it affect the Earth when it is born with the Sun?
We all know that the Earth and the Moon are also an eternal companion star, and the Moon is also the best friend of life on Earth, and it has fought many disasters with the Earth, such as the meteorite showers that it has withstood many times with the Earth.
And in this process, many meteorites were attracted by the moon, so the earth will have a chance to give birth to the creatures we see now.
Although there are many disasters and dangers on Earth, it is still lucky, its companion star keeps many dangers out, but once Earth was not so lucky.
That was 6.5 billion years ago, this year was just the first step for the earth to gain a foothold, at that time the earth did not have human beings, not even a green leaf, at that time the most conspicuous thing on the earth was a rolling wave of fire.
At that time, human beings did not even understand the law, so no one knew why the volcano suddenly erupted, but in fact it was not the volcanic eruption that destroyed the earth, but because a large meteorite aimed at the earth.
This meteorite is called Ketula, it weighs 10 trillion tons, and the volume is also very large, as soon as it reaches the earth, the entire continent will be covered by it, so when it arrives on the earth, it forms a crater with a diameter of 180 kilometers, and it also caused a tsunami, and finally some falling stones ignited a fire.
And the formation of this crater also made scientists more certain that the sun also has companion stars, and its existence is beyond doubt, that is, because there are many iridium elements in Ketura, and there were not too many iridium elements on the earth at that time, and its birth was due to the collision of extraterrestrial materials, which is also explained by the existence of solar companion stars.
So why does it come to this conclusion?
Because scientists have found large amounts of iridium in different strata at different times, and their time periods are consistent with the sedimentation in geology.
Therefore, scientists concluded that they must have been brought by meteorites that fell on the earth a long time ago, and from the iridium element, the mass and type of meteorites that landed on the earth can be deduced.
It was found that these meteorites must have come from outside the solar system.
This situation also proves that the Avengers, the companion of the sun, will throw themselves at Earth every 27 million years.
So in order to let everyone better understand it, we can understand it like this, all of this is like a drama, the actor is the Cutula meteorite, the staff is the sun, the theater is the earth, and the director is the sun companion, 27 million years is a big cycle.
Then Ketula is because of the sun's companion star, and we put on a hot show.
So Ketura hit the earth, so can people prevent it?
3. Can humans prevent the Sun from accompanying the stars?
The companion star of the Sun is very harmful to the earth, and it will periodically sacrifice a large meteorite to the earth, so can human beings stop it?
In the 80s of the 20th century, many scientists found that there would be large-scale extinctions on Earth every 27 million years.
This makes scientists wonder, is this fate?
Although many scientists are curious, they only leave a question, but do not go into further research.
In later research, a German scientist discovered the twin of the sun by chance, and the scientist named the star the Avenger.
Why is this so?
That's because the Avengers and the sun, together with each other, produced a meteorite that smashed into the Earth.
So how is it proven?
That's because of the light it emitted in 2016.
Scientists are now very sure that the Sun and its companion star are in a constant cycle, and its movement is also periodic.
So now that scientists have determined its existence, is there a way for humans to prevent it?
This brings us to an early warning system called Atlas, which is a kind of observation telescope that detects dangerous objects in space that could crash into the Earth.
So how was it discovered?
That's because a scientist and his research team once discovered a mysterious sediment in California.
And through some research on sediments, in 2016 an early warning system called Atlas was finally discovered.
This kind of equipment is called by scientists "the last early warning system for asteroids hitting the earth", and it simply means that to a certain extent, astronomical telescopes can be used to observe whether there are dangerous objects in space.
So what happens if you find out?
If a dangerous object is found, the only way to find a meteorite in flight is to find it as soon as possible, and then use human technology to shoot it down.
Through this scientific means, it can also greatly reduce the loss of the world, and if it encounters a large meteorite, it can also be broken or changed by launching a satellite or a spaceship, so as to reduce the impact on the earth.
However, now this method is only theoretical, and scientists have not implemented and studied it.
Then there is a conjecture about the companion star of the sun can only be said to be a possibility, and whether the egg that will fall on the human head in the future will be able to break out of its shell and become a bird on its own, let us wait and see.
The author believes that the earth and human beings have grown up in the feast of nature, but its cruelty is also invisibly attacking us.
So in this process, we either develop or eliminate, but no matter which path we choose, it depends on whether our technology can keep up, and in this process, the solar companion is a very important factor.
Whether it is smashed into the earth, or the gods who protect us, we can only rely on science to solve the final problem in this process, and the final result can only wait until 20 million years later.
