Cosmology

complicated questions that we to this day have no confirmed answer to but our history on this planet has lead to some clues that can possibly be the answer. Our history on this planet will be the reason why we answer these questions. The study of cosmology and modern science has lead to scientific theories that involve natural science it wasn 't just some created belief…

Discussion – Tayla Dorrington Introduction There are 2 major theories about the universe and how it began. These are the steady state and The Big Bang theory. Both theories have an explanation on how our Universe is, how it began and how it works. Both theories have stuff in common but also have many differences that could completely change the way we look at the Universe. The Big Bang Theory has much more evidence supporting it, while the Steady State Theory has been proven wrong. Big Bang…

- Have you ever thought about visiting the universe? Or have over viewed it? It is amazing how scientists are able to make discoveries about the universe. Incredibly, scientists have invented special instruments that can tell wether an object is moving away from Earth or towards it, and they also made many other such instruments. Yet, there are many questions an average person would ask such as, How was the universe formed, how old is the universe, and will the universe expand forever? The…

Best phrased by surgeon, author, and inventor Leonard Shlain in his book, Art & Physics, “Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” However dissimilar Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night may seem from Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, according to Shlain, this is what fundamentally unifies the two subjects. Physics is the study of the natural world, while art is the representation of it. Art has been part of our culture longer than any of the…

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…

To infinity, and beyond!: Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking is an individual who provided some insight on the questions of the universe. At the time of Hawking’s adolescence, space and anything beyond our solar system baffled scientists, they had no idea or if they thought they had an idea, it was more sci-fi than actual science. Without Hawking’s findings, we most likely wouldn’t have the space technology we do today. Stephen Hawking impacted the way people see theoretical physics, black holes,…

The big bang theory is often misinterpreted for what some may describe as the origin of the universe. However, this misconception actually informs us on how our universe was created in one single explosion, which is said to have happened approximately fourteen billion years ago.8 Everything that makes up who we are and what surrounds us started then, as an infinitely small volume that continued to expand in a ridiculously fast rate, where within a matter of minutes the universe became the size…

To most people around the world today may just seem like another day in the 13th century, however here in Italy today marks a significant discovery and the first time that the cosmological has been made famous within society. Although we have been told that the concept has been around since Plato and Aristotle, it is not until now that it has been made famous around the world and in Western philosophy. Today marks the day St Thomas Aquinas declared their theory for Gods existence, which has…

In the mid 20-ies of the last century the American astronomer E. Hubble found that the distance between galaxies in the observable universe is continuously increasing, like galaxies diverge from each other. At Hubble and his colleagues began to form the impression that the many billions of years ago in our days talking about 15 - 20 billion of the universe matter was concentrated in a very small volume with a fantastically high density, many orders of magnitude superior to the density of matter…

If it was found out that other galaxies are not moving further, and further away from us quickly.. This would cause the Big Bang Theory too lose its credibility. Also if many other pieces of evidence were found out to be untrue , I believe this theory would lose much of its credibility. The first part of this theory, I will be discussing my main point, which is whether galaxies are moving away from us or not and at what speed. According to Hubble's law, the universe has been expanding since…
