Geography Question 1: The big bounce theory. The big bounce theory is a theory that scientists have created that shows that the universe was formed The big bounce theory is a scientific theory about the origins of the universe. Scientists say that our universe is the result of the previous universes collapse. The big bounce theory states that the universe expands and contracts. The universe expanded so greatly that it exploded and created the universe we’re living in today, The Milky Way.…

The Big Bang Theory is the on-going explanation about how the universe began. The theory talks about the universe as we know it starting with a small originality, then expanding over the next 13.8 billion years to the universe we know of today. The phrase "Big Bang Theory" has been popular among astrophysicists for decades. The idea is that the universe began with an explosion more than 14 billion years ago, and many scientists also believe our universe and others, come from a “singularity”.…

An excerpt from Cosmic Horizons: Astronomy at the Cutting Edge. It was edited by Steven Soter and Neil deGrasse Tyson. The profile begins with a simple explanation of the expanding universe and how Georges Lemaître published his mathematical findings that today we know as the Big Bang theory.

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…

In 1929, Edwin Hubble published his report and state that the red shift in light coming from distant galaxies, is proportional to their distance which is effectively supporting Lemaitre hypothesis of an expanding universe.  Sharing finding stages In 1927, Lemaitre wrote a report which called A homogenous universe of constant mass and growing radius accounting for the radial velocity of extragalactic nebulae. This report was puplished in the little known journal Annales de la Societe…

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,…

Examine the differences between religious and scientific accounts of the origins of the universe and the origins of the human life (30) Scientists and Theologians have been in disagreement for centuries over their views on the origins of the universe and the origins of human life. In this essay I will look at the differences of the opposing accounts. Theologians such as Arthur Peacock believe in Continuous Creation. This is the idea that God is present in the creation of the World that…

Introduction The Time Machine and the Sound of Thunder are both science fiction stories. Their central plots are about Time Travel. Compare and contrast these two stories. This assessment has asked me to compare and contrast the stories of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells and The Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. In this assignment the differences in language and characters will be compared and contrasted. The genre of the short story will be contrasted with the short novel. The different ways the…

Have you ever thought about what super power you'd like to have? or how it would be to have a super power? Well these are questions that everyone make.
