Metric expansion of space

Objective Description In the year 2000, the American Museum of Natural History posted an essay as an online resource, Profile: Georges Lemaître, Father of the Big Bang. An excerpt from Cosmic Horizons: Astronomy at the Cutting Edge. It was edited by Steven Soter and Neil deGrasse Tyson. The profile begins with a simple explanation of the expanding universe and how Georges Lemaître published his mathematical findings that today we know as the Big Bang theory. Soter and deGrasse Tyson provide some of Lemaître’s life details. He was a Belgian cosmologist and a Catholic priest. He served in World War 1 as an artillery officer. They do not however provide any information about his family. This essay does not reveal what his parents did for living or what type of childhood he had or if he had any siblings. Lemaître was ordained as an abbé in 1923 after the World War 1. He studied with “the distinguished English astronomer Arthur Eddington […]” in 1924. He attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he earned a physics Ph.D. After which, beginning in 1925 he taught at the Catholic University of Louvain near Brussels. In 1960 Lemaître began serving as Pontifical Academy of Sciences President. Science and his religion were equally important to him until his death in 1966. The essay goes on to briefly discuss Edwin Hubble and his contribution to validating Lemaître’s theory of the expanding universe. Also mentioned are other well-known cosmologists: Einstein, Willem de…

Hi, my name’s Rebel. I’m a very shy, timid fellow that is searching for a patient owner with a relaxed lifestyle. When you come in to visit me, I will be crouched on my bed with a sad scared out of mind look on my face, and I am more than likely not going to approach the front of the cage to meet you. Though please don’t let this offend or discourage you. When it comes to relationships with new people, I don’t tend to jump in head first if you know what I mean. I just need an understanding…

If you are closer than that to me, I am going to feel very uncomfortable until you move. I believe it is only ever okay to share your personal space if you are good friends or dating that person. I have been asked to make a short list of my personal proximity rules. I had no trouble listing off five different personal proximity rules, but once I went back and reread them, I almost sounded crazy/snobby to myself. Number one on my list is if there are other seats in the room, don’t sit right next…

The Onion in Me People have a tendency to look remarkably like their pets. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t look much like Onion; her round blue eyes, stubby legs, and short squished snout are all but alien to my own features. On the outside, I bear practically no resemblance to my feline friend. Yet on the inside I hope that I look even remotely as beautiful as she does. Onion was only 2 months old, a furry ball of snow, vulnerable and fragile in the arms of a giant. She didn’t eat,…

for food due to poverty and sell their skulls in some forms of souvenirs to make profit. Along with being hunted, 8000 orangutans died because of an uncontrolled forest fire in 1997 that lasted for six months (“Orangutan Conservancy”, n.d). Apart from orangutans, tigers are used to roam around most of Sumatra, but because of deforestation and plantation growth there are only 400 tigers left in the wild (“Tigers in Crisis, 2016). Also, 80% of tigers were lost and 15% of those loss was a direct…

conducting most advertising online via email while selling advertising space in their planes (Nicas, 2012). The aircraft seats are closely spaced with little legroom and no ability to recline, allowing more paying passengers per flight. Fees are applied to virtually every extra convenience, from having a boarding pass printed at the airport or the ability to choose one’s seat, to a charge for water as well as each checked or carry-on bag (which not only generates revenue, but discourages…

set of metrics to monitor the supply chain so that it is cost efficient while delivers high quality and value to customers is very important.A company must select suppliers to deliver the goods and services they need to create their product. For that reason, supply chain managers must develop a set of pricing, delivery and payment processes with suppliers and create metrics for monitoring and improving the relationships. SCM managers can put together processes for managing their goods and…

The first issue is to create strong relations with local authorities. Currently Vodaphone Turkey is viewed as an outsider and not included in any political planning processes that might impact future infrastructure developments. She needs to establish a clear agenda and position on the Turkey’s future IT infrastructure and create alliances within the governing bodies to ensure Vodaphone Turkey is included in the decision making process Serpil must then provide dedicated attention towards…

It stands 230 feet (70 meters) tall and is designed to launch payloads of up to 57 metric tons (that's 119,000 lbs.) — the equivalent of a Boeing 737 jetliner — so a single Tesla Roadster should be a cakewalk for the monster rocket. The rocket is capable of carrying twice the payload of the massive Delta IV Heavy rocket built by the United Launch Alliance, and will be the most powerful American rocket since NASA's famed Saturn V moon rocket. The Falcon Heavy is designed to be reusable, with its…

says that before the big bang there was an orb the size of a marble so full of energy it couldn’t take it any more. The tiny ball of energy popped and out went the universe. Initially, after it popped, it was hot, about one hundred billion kelvin. Then after time it started to cool. Then it got colder and colder over time until it reached its current average temperature of 2.7 kelvin. The big bang also didn’t even make a “bang” sound because sound can’t travel through a vacuum. Matter is…
