A Bigger Bang

John Sinclair Dr. Philip Carlson General Physics I 11/28/2015 Physics Worldview Paper 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2. This number is the universal gravitational constant. It is an empirical physical constant denoted by the capitol letter G. The gravitational constant was first used in Newton’s law of universal gravitation [1] which states that any two bodies attract one another with a force which is directly proportional to the product of the two masses, and inversely proportional to the square…

The article, “Our Universe could be reborn as a bouncing baby cosmos” by Lisa Grossman suggests that there may be a new theory to how the universe began, that seems to be more accurate than the current theory. This new theory created by Neil Turok and Steffen Gielen is the new Big Bounce model; not to be confused with the older big bounce-big crunch model. This model, unlike all other past contenders, has been able to begin the first steps in an accurate description to how the universe…

standing. When it launched, it was the biggest telescope launched into space. With its 2.4 meter glass it uses 4 main instruments. These instruments look for ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectra, it is able to make objects from long distances bigger and with the 2.4 meter glass, I don’t see why not. The Hubble Telescope was indeed launched into space in 1990. However, the origin of the telescope first designs date back to 1946 during World War 2 (after Hitler’s Reign over Germany and…

Before Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were receding from each other, people strongly believed that the universe was static and there was no component in it which exerted a negative pressure and countered the attractive force of gravity. This belief was so strong, in fact, that even Einstein, upon finding that his equations were predicting an expanding universe, arbitrarily added a cosmological constant to keep the universe static. A few years after GR was published, however, Hubble found…

The Hot bang and the Ageless Universe are two different theories that explain the existence of the universe. No one can prove that both these theories are real because we do not have real evidence to back it up. We do not have a strong idea on how the universe came to be because we did not exist to actually see it but when it comes to the steady-state theory, the facts are more understandable than the proof behind the Hot bang theory. I believe the most supportable theory is the Ageless Universe…

A large portion of the population base their entire lives and existence around the ideas discovered through science, doubting the supernatural or the possibility of higher life. What about the ideas science cannot prove or attest to? Sure, the Big Bang Theory is probable with the ability to potentially explain how the universe came to be, however it does not disprove a God or much else for that matter. Moreover, many previously widely believed scientific discoveries have proven to be incorrect.…

commitment to research in technology has had a major impact on discovering and understanding the universe. Such technologies include Hubble Space Telescope, COBE and the Planck satellite. Astronomers and Scientists currently estimate that the Big Bang occurred just under 14 billion years ago.Without the invention of telescopes our understanding of the universe and space would be based on beliefs and myths from different cultures rather than factual evidence. Hubble Space Telescope The Hubble…

Does the Steady State Theory or the Big Bang explain the origin of the universe? There are many theories that contribute to the opinions and ideas of how the universe came about approximately 13.7 billion years ago. Two highly debated theories of evolution include the ‘Big Bang Theory’ and the ‘Steady State Theory’, two of which have very different points of view about how the universe came to how it is today. The ‘Big Bang Theory’ discusses how the universe began as a very small, hot and dense…

George Lemaitre was a Belgian cosmologist and a Catholic priest that was born in the 1800's he studied both science and theology then ended up becoming the "Father Of The Big Bang." By writing a paper in 1931 he came up with the theory to the Big Bang that eventually expanded out to further research. (Soter and Tyson, 2000) Lemaitre served as an artillery officer in his younger ages during World War I which put a halt onto his studies but soon picked back up on after the war. He chose learn…

Even when given proof of things that could be real, she dismisses them without a glance. She is stubbern and not easily persuaded, but loveable and kind so therefor, she is my second faveorite character in Distant Waves, Jane taking first plave. Emma/Amalie- These are the quirky twins who posess the “gift”- - that means that they are mediums and could see into the spirit world. Amalie has the gift more, and never speaks unless through Emma, which is why they are tetnically two people in…
