: Six months on the International Space Station causes up to 20 percent muscle loss, bone thinning at ten times the rate of osteoporosis, and physical changes to the shape of the eyeballs from increased intracranial fluid pressure. Muslim Space Agency explains the full science of how microgravity affects human physiology and what it reveals about the precision of human design. Educational science content with Islamic perspective.

00:00Astronauts who return from six months in space cannot walk.
00:02Their bones have lost density.
00:03Their muscles have shrunk.
00:04Their eyes have physically changed shape.
00:06Space does not just challenge the human body, and it systematically dismantles it.
00:10The human body evolved over millions of years under Earth's gravity.
00:13Every system, muscle, bone, blood, vision, is calibrated for 1G.
00:18Remove that gravity, and the body begins to fall apart within days.
00:22Muscles are the first to go.
00:24In microgravity, the body does not need to work against gravity to move.
00:28Muscles, especially in the legs and core, begin to waste within 72 hours of entering space.
00:35After six months on the International Space Station, astronauts lose up to 20% of their muscle mass,
00:40even with two hours of daily exercise.
00:42Bones lose density at roughly 1-2% per month in space,
00:45ten times faster than osteoporosis in elderly patients on Earth.
00:49A six-month mission can permanently affect bone density in ways that take years to recover from.
00:53But perhaps the strangest effect is on vision.
00:55In microgravity, body fluid shifts upward toward the head.
00:58This increases pressure inside the skull, pressing on the back of the eyeballs and physically flattening them.
01:04Nearly 70% of astronauts on long missions return with permanently changed vision.
01:08Some cannot see clearly for months after landing.
01:11This condition, called spaceflight-associated neuroocular syndrome, has no complete treatment yet.
01:16The heart also changes.
01:18Without gravity to work against, the heart becomes smaller and weaker.
01:20The cardiovascular system recalibrates to a lower-demand environment.
01:24Back on Earth, it struggles to pump blood to the brain properly, causing dizziness, fainting,
01:28and in some cases, lasting cardiovascular damage.
01:31The Quran says in Surah Al-Infatar, verse 6 and 7, and I translate,
01:35O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord the Generous,
01:37who created you, proportioned you, and assembled you in whatever form he willed?
01:41The human body was assembled for exactly one environment.
01:44The moment we leave it, the design reveals itself.
01:46Space does not welcome us.
01:48We were made for Earth, and Earth was made for us.
01:54We are in a table for Earth, and we are in a solid room with atmosphere.
02:02We are in a very large room with wisterous�� hurting our Moore,
02:07We have been making sure that fingernails our false cosmetics now bigger than aquatic przedstawicности.
02:07It's fee of like milanese
