UNUS MUNDUS

UNUS MUNDUS - ONE WORLD

Unus mundus (Latin for "One world") is an underlying concept of Western philosophy, theology, and alchemy, of a primordial unified reality from which everything derives. The term can be traced back to medieval Scholasticism though the notion itself dates back at least as far as Plato's allegory of the cave.

The idea was popularized in the 20th century by the Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung, though the term can be traced back to scholastic such as Duns Scotus and was taken up again in the 16th century by Gerhard Dorn, a student of the famous alchemist Paracelsus.

Gaia The Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun which is the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the four terrestrial planets of the Solar System. Sometimes called the world or the Blue Planet

Formed about 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface at least 3.5 billion years ago. The biosphere then slowly changes the atmosphere and other basic physical conditions, enabling the proliferation of organisms and the formation of the ozone layer, which together with the magnetic field blocks harmful solar radiation and allows microscopic living things to reproduce safely on land. The physical properties, geological history, and orbit of the Earth allow life to continue to exist.

The lithosphere is divided into segments, or tectonic plates, which undergo movement across their surface over millions of years. More than 70% of its surface is covered by water, and the remainder consists of continents and islands which have many lakes and other water sources that contribute to the formation of the hydrosphere. The poles are mostly covered in ice; solid ice in Antarctica and sea ice in polar ice packs. The interior remains active, with the inner core composed of solid iron, the outer core being a fluid that creates a magnetic field, and a thick, relatively dense layer in the mantle.

It interacts gravitationally with other objects in space, especially the Sun and Moon. When it revolves around the Sun in one orbit, it rotates on its axis 366.26 times, which creates 365.26 solar days or one sidereal year. Its rotation on its axis is tilted 23.4° from the parallel plane of the orbit, which causes the seasons on Earth's surface to vary with a period of one tropical year (365.24 solar days). The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite, which begins to orbit the Earth about 4.53 billion years ago. The gravitational interaction between the Moon and Earth stimulates tides, stabilizes the axial tilt, and gradually slows rotation.

Earth is home to millions of living things, including humans. Mineral resources and other biosphere products contribute to the provision of resources to support the global human population. The territory of the Earth inhabited by humans is grouped into 200 sovereign states, which interact with each other through diplomacy, travel, trade, and military action.

Outer Space

Outer space is the expanse that exists beyond Earth and its atmosphere and between celestial bodies. It is not empty or void because it contains particles of low density. The material is mainly hydrogen and helium plasma, as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust, and cosmic rays.

Space Cosmic Matter

The temperature at dawn, as governed by the background radiation from the Big Bang, is 2.7 kelvins (−270.45 °C). Intergalactic plasma is thought to comprise about half of the baryon matter in the universe, has a density of less than one hydrogen atom per cubic meter, and a temperature of millions of kelvins.

Local concentrations of matter condensed into stars and galaxies. Studies show that 90% of the mass in most galaxies is in an unknown form, called dark matter. It interacts with other matter through gravity but not by electromagnetic forces.

Observations show that most of the mass-energy in the observable universe is dark energy, a type of vacuum energy that is poorly understood. Space between galaxies occupies most of the volume of the universe, but galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of space.

History of Space Exploration

Space does not start at a certain height above the earth's surface. The Kármán line, at an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level. It is conventionally used as the start of a space agreement and for aerospace records.

The legal framework for international space is established by the Outer Space Treaty, which entered into force on October 10, 1967. This treaty precludes claims to national sovereignty and allows all countries to explore it freely. Despite the drafting of UN resolutions for the peaceful use of outer space, anti-satellite weapons have been tested in Earth orbit.

Humans began the physical exploration of space during the 20th century with the advent of hot air balloon flights. This was followed by a manned rocket flight and, later, a manned Earth orbit. The first exploration was carried out by Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union in 1961. Due to the high cost of going into space, human spaceflight was limited to low orbits of the Earth and Moon. On the other hand, the unmanned spaceship has reached all
