Hayy developed a cosmology to portray how he understood the world through the use of observation, speculation, and comparison, without it he would have never discovered how interconnected the universe was. Hayy understands the world in a way that is similar to Copernicus and the rest of previous scientists. His theory of the world stemmed from developments that took place over 28 years in seven-year increments (Ibn Ṭufayl 1150, pg. 128). Hayy understood the world through the basis of the four…

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…

To this day stories, theories, beliefs, and much more have been created to simply satisfy our understanding on how the universe was created. Curiosity has been the key for all these definitions and through generations of humans many questions have been asked on the lines of How did our universe begin? How old is our universe? How did matter come to exist? However, these are very complicated questions that we to this day have no confirmed answer to but our history on this planet has lead to some…

A New Perscpective I try to keep an open mind when looking at the world. There are so many different perspectives and idea out there that not allowing yourself to consider them doesn’t seem very smart to me. This semester we have read many interesting things about life and the universe, and I have tried to understand most of the thoughts and ideas in the books we have read. By allowing myself to keep an open mind to new ideas, I believe has helped me to learn many new things from the books we…

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. Usually we think of this when we are kids because we know that these things doesn't happen in real life, this is only part of our imagination. But if we take a minute and think like a kid, all of us want to be a super heroe. Don't you think that we need one in this world? Haven't you thought about how it would be to have someone at least a person…

So supposedly because of the stars, I fit into our cosmic bubble because the stars are associated with the cosmic bubble. Stars were created when clumps of hydrogen formed together to create helium while releasing light. This fusion continued on until stars created enough iron and an enormous amount of energy explodes that is called a supernova.This fusion would not have been completed without the stars heating up to 13 miliion degrees. Stardust was then spread out with the elements and the…

PART A: LISTENING NOTES PART B: SUMMARRY The episode THE SHAW PRIZE: ASTRONOMY/MATHS broadcast on Sep. 7th , 2015, recounts the stories of Shall Prize laureates.

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”.…

Objective Description In the year 2000, the American Museum of Natural History posted an essay as an online resource, Profile: Georges Lemaître, Father of the Big Bang. 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. Soter and deGrasse Tyson provide…
