Burj Khalifa is designed by Adrian Smith, then of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill who are responsible for the design of One World Trade Center. Its shape is very interesting like Y due to residential and hotel usage. It consists record 57 elevators and 8 escalators. This tower has received many awards due to its height and Y shape (Tallest skyscraper to top of the antenna, Building with the world most occupied floors, highest vertical concrete pumping, world’s highest observation deck, world’s highest nightclub).

It cladding system is very strong due to hot temperature of Dubai and tripedal design with edges cut in a projecting shape to avoid air turbulence. 

The Shanghai Tower (China):

The Shanghai tower is second tallest building in the world after Burj Khalifa with 632 meters (2,073 ft) height in Pudong, Shanghai. It consists the world highest observation deck within in structure and also world fastest elevator with speed of 20.5 m/s and also have 162 floors or 128 stories.

It was the world tallest tower from 2004 to 2010. The structure of Taipei tower has a stacked pagoda look with 8 segments and each segment contains 8 floors. 

existence of parallel universe and scientific evidence

Is our cosmos is unique? If yes then you are wrong. Science suggests that there could be another universe besides own. There are many evidences those prove that our universe is not alone, there may be another universe also exists. The concept is called “Parallel Universe” and is a facet of the astronomical theory of the multiverse.

According to Bing Bang theory our cosmos expand and inflate in three dimension space due to some unknown trigger. Eventually, the small particle began to form into the larger pieces of matter which of them we called “Galaxies, Star and Planet”.

According to the multiverse theory our universe is not alone  but there may be many universes exist parallel to each other. All physicists does not believe that parallel universe is exists.

The thing about parallel universe is that our cosmos is so big and according yo the rule of probability  that surely somewhere else out there some planets exactly like earth. We don’t see other universe due to the cosmic view is limited by the speed of light.

The universe you see now is inside of a black hole. And there are number of black hole exist in the cosmos which may contain other such universe.

Multiverse:

Infinite Universe:

In modern era we don’t know exactly about space-time. One prominent theory is that it is flat and goes on forever. It would drive the possibility of many universes being out there. So, if you look far enough, you could find another person as like you and infinite version of you. And some of them doing exactly what are you doing that time and still other have different career and life styles.

Bubble universe:

According to the theory of “External Inflation” other universe could rise due to multiple universes created by infinitely extending space time. Inflation is notation that universe stud rapidly after the Bing Bang. External Inflation theory first proposed by Alexander Vilenkin, said that some pockets of space stop inflating while other bubble continue to inflate, thus giving rise to many isolated Bubble Universe.

And in some of bubble universe have different law of physics those making some universe strange places indeed.

Multiple universes:

Or May be multiple universes follow the law of quantum mechanics as a part of daughter universe theory. If you know the law of probability than multiple outcomes come from one decision. There may be number of universe each of which saw one outcome come to be. If one universe you are in USA then perhaps in other you are in other place and so on.

Parallel Universe:

If we consider that space time is flat, the number of possible particle configuration in multiple universes would be limited to infinite distinct possibility. So, with in infinite number cosmic patches, the particle arrangement within them repeat infinite many times. It means there are infinite numbers of parallel universes.

According to the science light started travelling at the moment about 14 billion years ago so we can’t see any further than about 14 billion light years and this volume space is called Hubble universe. It means we are in bowl and we can’t see outside to them.

Evidence of Parallel Universe:

China Incidence:

Thousands of people reported that they saw a mysterious floating city above china skies. Some people saw that city was moving around Foshan in china’s Guangdong province and local people able to capture footage of that mysterious incidence. There are numerous reason emerged to explain the phenomena including Blue Beam Project.

People who believe in parallel universe they called as the evidence of parallel universe. Michael Hall from Griffith university, and colleagues suggested of a quantum theory based on the idea of interaction between parallel universe. They force that parallel universe interact and influence nearby words by a subtle force of repulsion.

The man from Taured:

In 1954 a guy landed in Japan on Tokyo International Airport. In the next morning the man vanished mysteriously without leaving any trace behind him and never found again.

When security guard asked him to his passport they get stun. Because they his country name (Taured) does not exist on world map. When security asked him point out his country on world map then he put his figure on Andorra.

But he said that his country name is Taurus and which is existence from 1000 years or he had never heard about Andorra before that while security also had never heard about Taurus. During checking of his passport, driving license they found that all are real and approved by other country also.

Then on the basis of doubt they sent him to nearby hotel and left 2 officers outside the room to keep eyes on him. But in the next morning, that man disappears mysteriously and never found again.

Many experts claims that he come from parallel universe and when he get route to return get back then he return to his universe and never found again.
