How Big Bang Theory Was Formed

Decent Essays
Did you ever think on how the universe ever started ? It all started in total darkness. An astronomer named Edwin Hubble found out that the galaxies were moving farther away, he knew that by a telescope that he created and it is called the hubble telescope. When the universe exploded it began to spread really quickly and when it exploded the universe had a very high temperature when this happened. Which created formation of elements ,gravity,redshift ,doppler effect,CMB, many more .

The big bang theory expanded in a trillion of a second when it exploded with a bunch of light rays came shooting out with brightness. The galaxies were formed by hydrogen and helium which began to help create matter. At half the universe age it began to enlarge at a increasing rate,and at that time the universe was cooled down. Which the dark energy made this cause this acceleration.

This was named after Christian Doppler in 1842. For example, think of a race car speeding as fast as it can the frequency level would be high, so the sound would be closer and louder. As you see the race car slowing down the frequency level is low, so the wavelength looks more spreaded out. The color of the rainbow also affects this by red meaning long and blue meaning short.

Did you ever wonder what scientists use to actually see the figures in space or how they give more detail in a image ? CMB stands for cosmic microwave background. What that does is scientist use it as a filter to see specific types of things in space .The cosmic microwave background gives more details about the universe. Redshift shows how the universe had come together at some point,and this shows before it was

    Astronomers believe that our universe was created roughly 13.7 billion years by a single singularity in which expand into the universe we live in today. This theory is know as the Big Bang theory. It's the belief that before 13.7 billion and a single singularity there was no matter, no energy, and no space within our universe; and then an immensely small hot, dense mass expanded forming everything we touch, breathe, and explore in today's universe. This theory was first proposed in the 1929, when astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered the Doppler effect in which measure the speed of how fast astronomical objects move toward or away from Earth.…

    But, if we want to find out the age of the universe ? Then, we need to take it into the universe’s perspective. In 1929, Edward hubble discovered that distance of the galaxies is proportional to the speed of our galaxy. Later, this discovery was confirmed with with what scientists saw through the telescope. Thus,…

    According to the scientific community, the universe began its "life" roughly 14 billion years ago when space, time and even the atoms in our bodies formed in less than a blink of an eye. The universe expanded rapidly - from the size of a pin's head to that of the entire Solar System in less than a few seconds, and it is still growing to form the cold, dark and inhospitable vastness that we know today. Among all the…

    In it, space and time were no longer absolute, no longer a fixed background to events but were rather dynamic quantities that were shaped by the matter and energy in the universe. They were defined only within the universe and and so there was no sense to to talk of a time before the universe began. Huble's observatons in the 1920s of the universe using the a hundred inch telescope changed situations. He discovereed the expansion of the universe and by determining the velocities of the galaxies, he found out that the galaxies were moving away from us, and the farther they moved away from us, the faster they moved. This was unexpected since the belief at that time was that the galaxies moved towards us, and as they were moving, we'd be moving away. It hten became real that the universe that had been believed to be unchanging in time was not only changing with with time but was also expanding. The distance between distance galaxies was changing wtih time. So if galaxies were moving apart now, then they must have been closer closer together in the past. If their speed were constant, then this would have been 15 billion years ago. Was this the beginning of the universe? It implied that physics broke down. So one would have to invoke an outside agency, which for convinience, one can call God to determine how the universe…

    The most amazing thing is that a few years before Hubble's discovery, in 1922, the contours of the expanding universe have already been identified in the calculation. Based on the general theory of relativity. In the past there was an explosion of the space itself, after which the world began to expand, swell like…

    The early Universe was filled with roaming clouds of gas, namely hydrogen, and dust. In many cases, the ingredients for stars laid dormant for millions, perhaps billions of years until an event disturbed them ("Star birth", 2013). As Isaac Newton states in his first law of motion, “An object will stay at rest or travel at a constant velocity until acted on by a force,” and the same remains true even at the massive scales of the Universe. These clouds of gas and dust can be billions of miles across (Chinn, 2010b), and as such, require significant events to occur to displace them. The movements of galaxies and shock waves from supernova explosions are examples of events that can cause the gas and dust clouds to be…

    Cosmic Dawn

    Couldn’t we just study our Sun and the Milky Way, since we are literally sitting right in its system? Well, no. Light, along with other waves, travel in a set speed in a vacuum, a place with no pressure to affect the speed. And since space is a vacuum, these waves travel in a set speed, namely the speed of light: 3.0*108 meters per second. According to Michael Eastwood, a fifth year PhD student studying the Cosmic Dawn, “if you observe an object that is so far away that the light took one billion years to reach you, than you are observing the object as it was one billion years ago.” Thus, the light we collect from stars are older than they actually are, giving us the ability to study earlier stages of the universe. However, the stars and galaxies from this age are extremely hard to study through Optical telescopes (e.g. the use of the star’s light). Instead, Mr. Eastwood and his band of researchers at the Owens Valley Long Wavelength Array (LWA) intends on studying these structures through Radio antennas, a difficult, yet possible, process to answer some of our greatest questions in the formation of the…

    For this reason, it was not until results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite were published that all lingering doubts about the existence of dark energy were eliminated. By giving us the most detailed picture of the CMB, WMAP data confirmed what other observations were already suggesting: ordinary matter, which is really the only type of matter we know about, makes up only four percent of the entire universe. The rest is dark matter and dark energy, the former composing 23 percent of the universe and the latter 73 percent…

    In 1948 Gamow estimated the strength of remaining cosmic microwave background radiation, saying that the glow of the Big Bang must be cooled after billion of years that has to fill the universe with a radiation about five degree above zero. This prediction was proved by the discovery of cosmic microwave which was 2.7 above zero. This is done by Penzias and Wilson in 1965.…

    Thanks to the contributions of astronomers, we can understand our universe better than ever before.We still have much to learn, but there’s no doubt, with as much evidence as there is it’s simple to understand why the Big Bang is the beginning of the universe. First, there’s Hubble’s Law, which shows that the universe is expanding and started at one point. Next, there’s C.M.B.R. which gives us actual radiation we can detect from the event itself. And finally, there is Nucleosynthesis, which gives us insight into what happened and also the makeup of the…

    New possibilities opened up in 1915, when Einstein formulated his famous theory that describes the nature of space, time, and gravity. This theory allows for expansion the fabric of space. In 1917, astronomer Willem De Sitter applied this theory and showed that the universe could be expanding. This was revolutionary because accepted view at the time was that the universe was static in size. Also the universe was considered infinite at one point in time but the Big Bang proved that the universe had to have a history and a beginning. (2)According to Chris LaRocco and Blair Rothstein article 15 billion years ago there was an explosion called the Big Bang that created the universe. This explosion contained all the matter and energy of space. Unlike other explosion like a bomb that throw fragments outwards the Big Bang filled in the space with particles of the embryonic universe. Before the Big Bang galaxies were clustered together but the explosion created space and foundation for the universe. Edwin Hubble is the brain behind the Big Bang he made the observation that the universe is constantly expanding. His discovery on galaxies velocity and distance proved the Big Bang Theory. His discovery was that the speed of a galaxy depends on there distance from earth. Meaning the the universe is…
