Big Bang Cosmic Theory

The universe was formed and created due to one very important event, the Big Bang. This is the well-known cosmic theory in which our universe all started from one point in space, which then expanded into what we have now. A vast space, forever expanding at the speed of light. The universe was once a singularity, a point at which all everything was just in one small point. However, as more matter compacted into the infinitely dense point, chaos ensued. The singularity collapsed and began to expand at the speed of light. This event is one of the many events which helps define one of the most important laws we have yet to believe, the second law of thermodynamics, entropy. Entropy is based off order and disorder. They are proportionate variables …show more content…
For example, people used the second law of thermodynamics to come to a conclusion that the world existed at one point, its singularity, at a point in time. Which was then followed with a burst of chaos, which we know as the Big Bang. The order in the infinitely dense singularity was proportional to the disorder of the grand expansion. However, as entropy may help describe the beginning of the universe, it also is very key in describing the very end of it as well. Increasing entropy in a system such as our universe spreads out heat until this is order. If you have something hot around something cold, the hot object will heat the cold object by releasing and transferring its energy until they are both the same temperature. This can happen in any scenario, just with different scales of time. Mentioning time is important because entropy is always in our universe. The universe has stars which create heat off fusion. These stars do not last forever though, after millions of years they are unable to perform fusion anymore due to a lack of heat. The theory is that eventually every star will eventually burn out in the universe resulting in the ‘heat death’ of the universe. A good example to represent this would be to picture a cup of hot water and a bunch of sugar cubes. The sugar cubes representing energy in the planetary objects and …show more content…
Even though fossil fuels may be able to produce massive amounts of energy, earlier it was stated that a lot of that energy is just wasted in the conversion process. Engineers in the past few decades have really been trying to gather renewable energy in order to protect the environment. An example of non-renewable energy is the burning of fossil fuels. It is simply burned off faster than it can sustain itself in nature. The amount of fossil fuels that we consume as a species is ludicrous and there is no doubt that the Earth would go dry for coal, oil, etc. in the future. Being able to harness renewable energy has been an extremely beneficial feat that we take for granted. Statistics in the United States show that only approximately thirteen percent of their electricity power is from renewable energy resources. This is such a small fraction of renewable energy and it is really disappointing how such a great opportunity could go to waste. Our modern day society is too caught up in the present and it has blinded them from the past and even the events occurring in other countries. We must change how we use energy and we must learn to be more conservative with what we have. A huge fraction of the energy which we use on a daily basis is non-renewable. This means that everything we have today will eventually fade off too nothing because of how quick we have
