While there is a belief that humans have evolved from apes, religion has an explanation. Evolution is the theory that modern life has descended from a common ancestor, through the process of natural selection. Faith on the other hand, claims that life was created in the form it is today with some alterations from God. Since evolution was found it has been debated by all faiths. Evolution generates an explanation for the origin of life which is not necessary when there is religion, logic, and…
Basically almost everything is held by gravity in space. Some astronomers believe some galaxies as held by black holes. But is that really the case? The short period of growth of the universe started of as the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. After the Big Bang the universe started to cool of, starting protons and neutrons, hydrogen, helium, lithium and more. Stars, planets, galaxies started to form during the process. According to the European Space Agency's Herschel Telescope have…
One concept that has interested is dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter is the thing that makes it possible for galaxies to exist. When astrophysicists and cosmologist calculated why the universe is structure the way it is, it became clear that there’s just not enough normal matter. The gravity of the visible matter is not strong enough to from galaxies and complex structures. The starts would more likely be scattered all over the place and not form galaxies. Therefore, cosmologist concluded…
Science has changed the way the human race lives, their everyday lives. Everyday society encounter different and new technology because of science. Everyday scientists are coming up with more and more theories explaining the world. Science has been apart of the human race since the beginning of time, science will also remain in the human race's life till the end of time. According to Webster dictionary science is “knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through…
Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world,…
I started off the interview by asking if my mom agrees or disagrees with the theory of the big bang. She did not know too much about the theory so I had to jog her memory on it. She stated that the theory itself is an amazing concept of life and how it could have created everything we know. I then had her read the article we read in class called…
The scientific side of this believes that time and matter were created as a result of an explosion bigger than a supernova. This theory is called the “Big Bang Theory”. Most scientists and philosophers believe that all of the universe’s mass was compressed into one small particle about the size of an atom. Scientists explain that as this “big bang” occurred, light was brought to the…
telescope. When the universe exploded it began to spread really quickly and when it exploded the universe had a very high temperature when this happened. Which created formation of elements ,gravity,redshift ,doppler effect,CMB, many more . The big bang theory expanded in a trillion of a second when it exploded with a bunch of light rays came shooting out with brightness. The galaxies were formed by hydrogen and helium which began to help create matter. At half the universe age it began to…
The Big Bang is the most widely accepted theory about how our universe first began. This theory was first proposed by Belgian priest Georges Lemaître in the 1920’s. It suggests the universe was once condensed into a space equivalent to less than a grain of sand and expanded to billions of kilometers wide in about a second producing incredible amounts of heat. Everything you see is from that rapid expansion. That’s difficult to imagine, however, 3 major pieces of evidence support this; Hubble’s…
the 1920’s that a man named Edwin Hubble provided the first piece of evidence that explained that the universe that we live in was expanding. (The Expanding Universe: From Slowdown to Speed Up, Scientific American). This theory is known as the “Big Bang.” (How Do Scientists Know the Universe is Expanding?, Live Science). Hubble discovered that there was a relationship between the red shift, also known as the cosmological shift in the spectral lines from the galaxy and the distance to an remote…
