The Big Bang Theory

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…

Have you ever thought that something in the ground would be inside of you at some point in time? Or what's inside of you right now was at some point in time was in a cow? The process of recycling atoms makes this possible. Everything is made up of a star that exploded in space a billion years ago. The Law of Conservation of Mass, discovered by Antoine Lavoisier in 1785, states that matter can not be created or destroyed makes the process of recycling atoms true/possible. When a person exhales…

HUBBLE REASEARCH Astronomer Edwin Hubble reversed the field of astrophysics his research helped prove the universe is expanding, and he created a classification system for galaxies that had been used for several decades.Mr. Hubble displayed a classification system that had been used for years. Edwin Hubble was born November 20th, 1889 in Missouri. He died on September 28th, 1953. He played a crucial role in establishing the field of extragalactic. He is known today as being one of the greatest…

same. However, cosmic consciousness is not a priority on Earth, and very few are trying to achieve it. According to astrophysics, all the matter existing in the universe today came from a single infinitesimally dense point that expanded after the Big Bang explosion. Although the atoms that make up all matter, including life, are continually being flung further apart in an ever-expanding universe, they were a…

you will be just as big and bright as me! Moon: Okay, when you come to visit me, you will be quite surprised with all my wonderful features! Yes, I may be small compared to planets, but I can be just as cool as them! I do have gravity, just not a lot. Compared to your home, Earth, I have about a sixth Earth's gravity. So when you walk, it will feel weird but it is so much fun! It's like you are on a giant trampoline! My surface is covered in thousands of craters, some big and some small.…

Fate: Discussing the Extent and Purpose of Free Will in Oedipus One of the most multisided philosophical debates can be sparked simply by asking "Are we free?" It's a question that we've been grappling for thousands of years. Sophocles uses Oedipus to ask questions about fate, free will, and how they can possibly exist together. In ancient Greek, the word for fate was Moira, defined by Homer as an impersonal power and sometimes makes its functions interchangeable with those of the Olympian gods.…

predict that if there is enough mater, gravity could eventually stop the expansion of the universe. If the universe stops expanding, it could start collapsing to its original state. This process would be a reverse of what might have happened during the big bang. However, scientists now think that there may not be enough matter in the universe, so the universe will continue to expand forever. Therefore, stars will age and die, and the universe becomes cold and dark after many billion of years.…

The War between Science and Religion “Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the nonexistence of Zeus of Thor – but they have few followers now.” Sir Arthur C. Clarke In the beginning there was nothing: just darkness. Then out of nothing appeared everything. Then there were questions. Why are we? How are we? Why does the world and nature act as it does? What happens when we die? Religion answered these…

Nasa’s spitzer and Hubble space telescopes have discovered a massive galaxy creating more and more new stars. The way that this massive cluster has been formed so quickly is by feeding off gases from other galaxies. Tracy Webb of McGill University explained that usually a star in the center of a galaxy is old and dead, but this new cluster within this rare galaxy is creating new stars very quickly by merging with other smaller galaxies. Clusters are families of galaxies bound together by the…
