Do astronomers grow each time they visit space?

Question

My friend said this. So just to make sure......

Answer 1

Their bodies continue to grow in the normal way in space. The effect your friend is probably talking about is not growth but extension. Because they are not pulled down by gravity their spinal column can extend. An astronaut will measure taller in space than on Earth for this reason. Of course, once they get back to Earth gravity takes effect and compresses the spine again.

Answer 2

Before space existed there was nothing. before universe came into existence there was a no space and no time environment. This no space no time environment was created by an agency which is outside this universe commonly known as external agency. After creating this environment, the external agency created a small (probably the size of an atom), infinite dense particle called the big bang singularity. This particle consisted of elementary particles. The external agency framed the basic scientific laws (i.e he wished that particles inside this universe should behave in so and so manner) and he set the initial conditions for the singularity to expand. Then he set the clock started, set the expansion of singularity and he enforced the basic scientific laws simultaneously. the singularity contained an elementary particle called as the dark particle which possess a residual energy called dark energy, which creates space in turn creates time, together called as spacetime. In this environment objects take there place and only within this environment the basic scientific laws are implemented. The force which causes the space to expand is called dark energy. We do not know much about the dark energy. The space is expanding into a no space no time environment. The only force which can stop the expansion of space is the intergravitational force of our own universe, but that force should be considerbly high enough to stop the expansion of the universe, for that to prove that we have enough of that force, we must have a density which is of the one more than the critical density, then the expansion would stop and the universe will recollapse to form an infinite dense singularity, at this moment there is no space, time ends and all scientific laws fail, but now we have not found out particles which should increase the density above the critical density, but we can also observe that the universe is expanding at an accelarating rate, so the end of the universe is that of the big rip, where the spacetime continue to expand forever making the particles more and more apart there by greatly reducing the temperature of the universe. Then all the stars will die out and all blackholes evaporated leaving only quarks and electrons in the unverse. By this time all life forms would have gone extinct. The space would have expanded and continue to expand to such an extent that the distance between 2 quarks is more than like zillion zillion light years away. the age of the present universe is like 14 billion years but we dont exactly know the size of the universe. Hope I answered your question.

Answer 3

Your friend`s a genius Wilma . Yes , the astronauts DO grow when out in space . They shrink a bit upon their return to Earth , but are still a bit taller than when they originally left .

That`s why astronauts who`ve been on multiple missions are 9 , 10 , and 11 feet tall .

Answer 4

Growth based on what, gravity? I think I may have once heard that astroNAUTS grow very, very slightly due to the lack of gravity, but that growth is barely noticeable and is reversed as soon as they return to Earth. It is not like they grow and grow and grow every time they go up and come back. There would probably be some 10 foot Russians if that were thew case.

Answer 5

Yes, they (astronauts/cosmonauts) do "grow" since the release of gravity allows the spinal column to decompress from the effects of gravity. Unfortunately, they "shrink" upon return to earth when gravity takes over!

Answer 6

you mean the astonauts . when people who are experiencin the effects of gravity ae freed from the influence of gavity , their body is likely tobe streched a little as the effect of gravity that pulls the upper parts of the body of a person standing t, towards the earth is not present . this doenot amout to growing .It is just a release of compression.the difenrece is unlikely to e perceptible .
They don't grow .They are just strethced when in space and released .when they return to earth.

Answer 7

I would think so. Becuase every time we get up from bed the gravity pulls our bodies down to the ground. because of that we lose about two to three inches from our hieght. but in space there is no gravity. so iwould think that they are taller.

Answer 8

what? um...no. i dont believe astronomers visit space...they are the ones that are looking at space. and if they did, the would get taller, but would end up shrinking when they came back due to our gravity.

WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE AND MIS-WORDING THEIR QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Answer 9

You mean "Astronaut." And no, they don't grow every time they go to space. I've heard that too, but it isn't true.

Answer 10

Yes .
