Observable universe

I was pretty excited for this section, because black holes are the most destructive forces in the observable universe and can tear apart even a planet if it comes near to the event horizon. I finally asked her about how time is changed around a black hole. She explained it in detail with a great example that time never changes near or inside a black hole. Suppose…

Is the universe barren or teeming with life? The observable universe; the part of the universe from where the light has had time to travel to earth is approximately 90 billion light years in diameter. There are 20 billion sun-like stars in just our Milky Way galaxy and recently we learned that planets are much more common than we thought. Those are the planets which are situated within the goldilocks zone of its home star, where the temperature is just right for water to remain in liquid state…

infinite and finite. Though this is a hard concept to understand, he believes the universe was created by something completely unattainable, something that cannot be defined by shape, size, color, odor, or any factor that is imaginable to the human. Given all of the theories I have researched, this one made the most sense to me. We do not completely understand the universe, nor do I believe we ever will. The universe is filled with endless questions; questions that will still need answering even…

Science is the result of reason based on observable fact, while theology and faith are pure guesswork and ignorance. In a 2010 article titled, “Science, Reason, and Catholic Faith”, Stephen M. Barr, a Catholic professor of physics at the University of Delaware, defends the Catholic Faith with regard…

waste, Mars could eventually become our new home. Scientists believe Mars sustained or could sustain life, yet, they still can't uncover what lies beyond our planet. Perhaps Earthly humans aren't the only intellectual organisms that inhabit the universe. Most Christians believe that God made human beings in His likeness and placed them on…

geocentric models not only serve as a geometrical simplification of the supposedly mechanical universe, but it also carry many religious significances, especially when the planets are considered to be immortal gods or perfect ethereal…

for NASA would allow them to create space missions where they can explore the secrets of the universe. The United States would be the first country to “peel back the curtains”, analogous to when Europeans traveled westward and headed towards North America. Space exploration is the contemporary version…

Tyson once said something along the lines of humans have only discovered about 4% of the universe. Not only does my fear of what I don't know going on below my feet in the ocean scare the crap out of me, but that big star filled sky does as well. It doesn't just scare me, but it probably scares and excites scientists studying it all over the world. Since we only know a fraction of the inter-workings of the universe, there are many questions and things going on that we simply have no answer for…

and—absent some paradigm-shattering revelation—human thought and action. Its analytical methods and machines have plumbed the unknown and the inaccessible, from the submicroscopic confines of the atomic nucleus to the billowing expanse of the observable universe. Physics has superseded our biochemically mediated perceptions of the world, replacing qualitative impressions with highly precise quantitative models: We can’t dive into the sun to see what’s going on, yet we can accomplish as much with…

possibly could be. Scientists design experiments to attempt to figure out what it is, but no one truly knows what composes dark matter. Physicists are so interested in understanding dark matter because it accounts for the formation of the Universe, as observable through studying the distribution of gravity within galaxies (Carnegie). Original attempts at studying dark matter referred to dark matter as baryonic, which is a word used to describe baryons, or quark based particles. Quarks make up…
