Ørsted's discovery also represented a major step toward a unified concept of energy.

The discovery of extrasolar planets, particularly those that orbit in the habitable zone where it is possible for liquid water to exist on the surface ( and therefore also life ), have intensified interest in the search for extraterrestrial life.

He is also mistakenly credited with the discovery of the existence of galaxies other than the Milky Way and his galactic red shift discovery that the loss in frequency — the redshift — observed in the spectra of light from other galaxies increased in proportion to a particular galaxy's distance from Earth.

The discovery was also the oldest confirmed find of any musical instrument in history, until a redating of flutes found in Geißenklösterle cave revealed them to be even older with an age of 42. 000 to 43. 000 years.
