“Is there oxygen in space?” The answer to the question emerged thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists have tried to shed light on this unknown through their studies and theories.

Bride, Let’s look at the details of the topic.

The theory that space is devoid of oxygen was first put forward in 350 BC.

The Greek astronomer Aristotle proposed that nature contains no voids, and this theory “horror vacuum” became known as. Once again Galileo Galilei conducted many different experiments in the air.

He knew that air was a force that could resist the formation of weight and vacuum. Student Torricelli successfully completed the experiment a year after Galileo’s death a device that can produce a partial vacuum developed.

Torricelli expanded his studies and concluded around 1644 that the air, or atmosphere, was subjected to pressure as it was pulled and pushed toward the Earth’s surface. A few years later also Blaise Pascal experiments with atmospheric pressure did.

Two years later, Pascal and Florin Perier took a mercury barometer and climbed the French mountain Puy de Dome.

Here they discovered that atmospheric pressure begins to decrease as we move away from the Earth’s surface. But at high altitude atmospheric pressure The reason for this decline was unknown.

In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton wrote in his work entitled Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. Universal theory of gravity revealed.

In summary, scientists, physicists and astronomers came to the conclusion that there is no oxygen in space, as a result of logical deductions and some experiments. Related to pressure, temperature and air molecules in the 17th and 19th centuries many theories and laws was pushed forward.

Some of these laws; Charles’s law, Avogadro’s law, Ideal gas law and Boyle’s lawwas. All these laws and theories played an important role in the discovery of the empty nature of space.
