New Universe

Around three thousand years ago, a story about the creation of the universe came into existence. This story, overtime became the agreed-upon functioning story for Western society. A shared and fixed understanding of creation unified people, despite turbulent times.

The first was “towards a religious redemption out of a tragic world,” and the other was, “towards a greater…

matter and not by a misunderstanding on our part on how gravity works outside of our planet. Going forward, the majority of modern research surrounding dark matter discusses what exactly it is. We can observe its significance and its impact on the universe but have no concreate way to measure it. Drs. Lydnden-bell and Gilmore explain that there are three possibilities, “All of it is ordinary(baryonic) matter, all of it is some other kind of (non-baryonic) matter, or some of it is baryonic…

The breakthroughs achieved by Galileo, Kepler, and Newton revolutionized our worlds understanding of the universe. They were willing to accept the consequences of their discoveries, and made surmountable contributions to the furtherment astronomy. Early astronomy at one time called archaeoastronom, struggled to comprehend how the universe allied with the nature of human kind. Early Greek astronomy searched for understanding outside traditional religious beliefs, and assumed a more philosophical…

Dark matter makes up roughly 23% of the universe, and is thought to be the cause of its expansion. Dark matter was first proposed by Swiss astronomer, Fritz Zwicky when he noted that galaxies are flying away to fast. He noticed that galaxies are flying away to fast that they should fly apart, dissolve under Newtonian Laws of Motion. He thought the coma cluster may be saved if it were 100x more matter than you can see. Theres two possibilities left. Newton was wrong or something was missing.…

In a majority of households in America children are taught from an early age, from going to church, that God created humans.

Our opinions of a place beyond our world has been influenced by the theories of ancient writers such as Ptolemy and Aristotle, and our views shan’t be altered! This Aristotelian view of the universe has been widely accepted by both scientists and theologians, though, Galileo Galilei’s observations in Siderius Nuncius,…
