We often hear about the layers of the sky up to the 7th heaven. How is this according to science?
This interesting topic was asked by our readers. He asked about the characteristics of the layers of the sky.
This is then related to the verses of the holy book, especially the Koran, if the Koran often mentions the seven heavens of the Sab'a Samawat, but the meaning of the Sab'a Samawat is understood as the layers of the sky. In the past, in the geocentric concept, the Sab'a Samawat in the old interpretations was considered the layers of the sky.
The first sky is believed to be the Moon, the 2nd sky is Mercury, the 3rd sky is Venus, the 4th sky is the Sun, Mars is in the 5th sky, Jupiter is in the 6th sky and Saturn is in the 7th sky. From there, the names of the days of the week were born.
'Sunday' is associated with the day of the Sun, 'Saturday' is Saturn's day, 'Monday' is a lunar day, 'Tuesday' is associated with Mars, 'Wednesday' is associated with Mercury, 'Thursday' is associated with Jupiter, and 'Friday' is associated with Freya or Venus.
"But that's in the old concept, in the new understanding of the Sab'a Samawat it is an infinite number. So if you ask how the layers of the sky are, now you are starting to think about what these celestial objects are. Planets, they are different from the sky. Even though the stars look the same, the stars are also part of a large galaxy.
Likewise the number of galaxies is countless. So today the meaning of the seven heavens is actually the objects above us whose number and distance are infinite. However, the interpretation continues to grow along with the development of science.
Hmm, it's only right that there are many old sayings that teach us to keep learning until death picks us up. There are so many mysteries in the Universe that it is interesting for us to explore.
