Why can humanity be firmly locked within the Solar System by just two "Cosmic Wall"?
Even more strangely, when Voyager 1 looked back at Earth from a distance of 6.4 billion kilometers, the photo it captured was almost completely dark, while we on Earth can see a sky full of stars. Is all of this merely an illusion? Or is there something preventing us from uncovering the secrets of the universe?
As early as 1950, Dutch astronomer Jan Oort discovered some strange patterns while studying the orbits and periods of comets. He believed that the origins of long-period comets might come from a distant region outside the Solar System, which later became known as the Oort Cloud.
Although the existence of the Oort Cloud can be indirectly proven through studies of comet orbital periods and the distribution of comets at aphelion, it remains too far from Earth for us to observe directly.
In search of the truth, countries around the world have spent vast sums launching multiple unmanned probes to explore the secrets hidden behind the twinkling starlight. However, on a cosmic scale, human probes move at a snail's pace; we cannot even escape the Solar System, which is only two light-years in diameter.
Despite this, some unexpected discoveries have been made. In January 2003, the Pioneer 10 probe, which had been operating stably for nearly 30 years, suddenly encountered a powerful electromagnetic radiation. Just before it lost contact, it transmitted a strange signal back to Earth.
Moreover, when Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 passed through this area, they also experienced interference from an unknown signal.
When scientists analyzed these signals, they uncovered a terrifying fact: our Solar System is enveloped by a mysterious force that seems to protect Earth while simultaneously limiting human activity.
This mysterious force resides in an area known as the Heliosphere, also referred to as the Heliosphere Boundary by scientists. It primarily consists of a terminal shock layer and a nearly spherical diffuse structure.
This region not only gathers a large amount of solar wind, forming a hot wall of hydrogen gas approximately 2 billion kilometers thick and generating temperatures around 50,000 degrees Celsius.
The reason Voyager did not turn into molten iron upon reaching this area is due to the low particle density within it; without air molecules in space, large-scale conduction cannot occur.
In other words, while the existence of the Heliosphere largely protects the Solar System from interstellar radiation, it also serves as a firewall that restricts human activities.
In this regard, scientists predict that if the Oort Cloud truly lies at the outer edge of the Heliosphere, its width would be at least two light-years. Even the farthest human-made object, Voyager 1, would take about 30,000 years to traverse this region.
At the same time, scientists have created computer simulations of the solar system model. In this depiction, the Oort Cloud appears as a massive spherical structure enveloping the solar system, akin to a cosmic shackle that firmly restricts humanity's range of activities.
Although we have yet to confirm whether the Oort Cloud actually exists, if the Earth Prison Paradox is correct, could it be that what we perceive as the Brilliant Galaxy is merely a virtual projection emitted by this enormous sphere?
Or perhaps Physics does not truly exist, and all our astronomical observations and scientific foundations are simply designed and presented to us under the rules of this universe? If there were no obstruction from the Oort Cloud, what kind of spectacle would we observe in the cosmos?
