A Bigger Bang

Imagine, if you were not yourself, yet at the same time you were. Imagine that you had led a completely different life. Maybe you were a soldier, an engineer, a banker, or maybe you did nothing with your life. What if you were born a with a different name, different gender, a different race; what if you were not born at all. Imagine a world where the American Revolution never happened, The Allies fell to the Axis, or the Cold War ended in nuclear annihilation. However, none of these scenarios…

In this paper I will analyze the argument of the “Fine-Tuned Universe”, describe what it means, show how an opponent would argue that intelligent design isn’t the best explanation, and also provide my own view on this argument from my theist view. Have you ever wondered how the universe got here? How everything perfectly fell into place, and how you’re here today? The Fine Tuned Universe argument may help you better understand. This argument is a version of the teleological argument, which is…

how the entire universe began. Every human encompasses a natural desire to discover the truth, but it persists as one of the most controversial subjects. Some philosophical minds, Evolutionists or Darwinists, believe all substance started with a “Big Bang” and then began to evolve into the world and life forms we identify today. Others, Creationists, believe a higher power intelligently designed life and matter. As I investigate this topic, I discover more archeological, scientific, and logical…

Theory on Lithium in Stars May Be Confirmed The light chemical element lithium is one of the few elements that is predicted to have been created by the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago. But understanding the amounts of lithium observed in stars around us today in the Universe has given astronomers headaches. Most heavy elements are produced during supernovae, as massive stars explode in their death throes. However, these events were believed to be too rare to produce the vast amount of…

The definition of the word nous means “mind or intellect” (Long). However, Anaxagoras perceived nous as something much more that that. He professed that nous “is the controlling principle of the world,” (Long) and that it is its own class of higher power. Anaxagoras claimed that nous is what caused the start of things. He believed that nous is what triggered the kosmos and everything that it holds inside. The kosmos, being the origins of the universe, from the stars to the planets, and…

Universe. Source: NASA (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/hd140283.html) Scientists have declared that the Universe itself is 13.8 billion years old. We have arrived at a pretty accurate estimate as to the Universe's age after the Big Bang. A slew of myriads of different sources have been based upon the figure. Nothing should have existed even before the formation of the Universe. When scientists observed the stars within the Milky…

expansion of universe by observing the distance of galaxies. Edwin Hubble also helped to prove that Lemaitre hypothesis is correct. 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…

The following paper is on each of four subjects: black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and the multiverse theory. The first subject is black holes, which are regions of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. Their existence is greatly debated over, and it still has not been determined whether they exist. The second subject is dark matter. Dark matter is a placeholder that cannot be seen. It accounts for 27% of the matter in the universe, but like…

For 13 years, the scientists of LIGO—the most ambitious, and expensive, project in the history of the National Science Foundation—had been waiting. LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, has been twenty-five years and more than half a billion dollars in the making. It involves 900 scientists and engineers, including many whose entire careers have been spent designing, building, and preparing to analyze data streaming in to LIGO. Their goal: To confirm, once and for all,…

Space is a huge sea of unknown. We are simply specks of dust, trying to figure out the behaviors of giants. Thus it is apparent that the specks can not know much. For now. One of the biggest mysteries is the expansion of the universe; in the 1990s, we knew that theoretically, our ever-expanding universe was slowing down due to gravity, and that it would eventually collapse or keep expanding, just slower as time went on. However, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead…
