of the universe is based on Einstein’s theory of
relativity. But this is just a mathematician’s guess.
To tell the truth, man has yet to comprehend the
vastness of the universe.
In a clear sky, which is free of dust, five thousand
stars can be seen with the naked eye. With the help
of an ordinary telescope this figure is increased to 2
million and through a great 200-inch telescope on
Mount Palomar in America, billions of stars are
visible. But even this figure is small as compared
with the actual figure. The universe is an infinitely
vast space in which innumerable stars are
continuously moving at extraordinary speeds. Some
stars are moving singly, some in groups of two or
more, while innumerable stars are grouped in
constellations. You may have noticed myriads of
dust particles swirling around in the rays of light
penetrating a room through some aperture. If you

you will have a rough idea of the revolutions of the
stars throughout the universe. The only difference is
that dust particles can collide and move in
combination whereas the stars, notwithstanding
