Silver Niobium Coin Cosmology

Silver Niobium Coin Cosmology

The metal niobium, from which the “Cosmology” coin's core is made, shines strikingly midnight blue and star yellow!

The value side – compressed knowledge graphically represented

On the niobium pill of the value side, the universe with stars, Saturn, and other planets, as well as the successful space probe Rosetta, which orbits a comet for the first time, can be seen. Between the text and the niobium pill, rough grade divisions symbolize the orbits of the Earth by satellites. On the left half of the coin, the wavelengths of light are graphically represented, and the formula S=k lnW is depicted. The formula of the Austrian physicist and philosopher Ludwig Boltzmann (1844 – 1906) is considered one of the fundamental relationships of statistical thermodynamics.

A graphical representation of the Lagrange points is also depicted. At these points in space, accelerations cancel each other out, so bodies are free of forces. The Lagrange points are used to place satellites exactly at these locations, whose position remains unchanged and does not need constant correction.

Below is another physical formula placed, with which the escape velocity as the second cosmic velocity can be calculated.

The image side – a multiverse in itself

The other side shows planets with their orbits and stars in the center; the silver ring illustrates terms like solar system, galaxy, universe, and multiverse. On the niobium pill, that part of our solar system stylized is depicted, which is located within the asteroid belt. In the lower part of the silver ring, two orbits of the planets of our solar system outside the asteroid belt are illustrated. Following the orbits and extending to the right, a galaxy, our universe, and the multiverse are represented. The latter is believed by some cosmologists to consist of many universes. In the center and to the left: the model of the “European Extremely Large Telescope E-ELT” with an open dome. The E-ELT is a next-generation optical telescope under construction for the European Southern Observatory ESO. It will have a main mirror with a diameter of 39 meters, composed of 798 hexagonal mirror elements. In 2011, the decision was made to build the telescope in the Chilean Atacama Desert; planned completion: 2022.
