    Bouncing Baby Cosmos

    • 2 Pages

    The article, “Our Universe could be reborn as a bouncing baby cosmos” by Lisa Grossman suggests that there may be a new theory to how the universe began, that seems to be more accurate than the current theory. This new theory created by Neil Turok and Steffen Gielen is the new Big Bounce model; not to be confused with the older big bounce-big crunch model. This model, unlike all other past contenders, has been able to begin the first steps in an accurate description to how the universe…

    The Hot bang and the Ageless Universe are two different theories that explain the existence of the universe. No one can prove that both these theories are real because we do not have real evidence to back it up. We do not have a strong idea on how the universe came to be because we did not exist to actually see it but when it comes to the steady-state theory, the facts are more understandable than the proof behind the Hot bang theory. I believe the most supportable theory is the Ageless Universe…

    The satellite measures a type of radiation which is called the cosmic microwave background. It permeates the universe searching for evidence of the events that took place during and after the explosion known as The Big Bang. Very similar to the Cosmic Background Explorer, it spent four years orbiting Earth to detect the oldest light in space, the cosmic microwave background radiation. The four year mission of collecting data was successful and resulted in the…

    Does the Steady State Theory or the Big Bang explain the origin of the universe? There are many theories that contribute to the opinions and ideas of how the universe came about approximately 13.7 billion years ago. Two highly debated theories of evolution include the ‘Big Bang Theory’ and the ‘Steady State Theory’, two of which have very different points of view about how the universe came to how it is today. The ‘Big Bang Theory’ discusses how the universe began as a very small, hot and dense…

    similar to what your body does when it works out and you start to get hot. Therefore all matter has at least some thermal energy, no matter how small or minute it is. There is different types of energy but this essay is meant to inform readers of conduction, convection and radiation because they all deal with thermal energy. As previously stated, matter has energy but the amount of thermal energy determines the physical state of the matter. It is theoretically impossible for atoms to have no…

    There are three main heat transmitters, they are conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction of heat occurs when molecules increase in kinetic energy, the molecules vibrate and this vibration passes the heat to the surrounding molecules. Conduction only occur in solids. Convection is a type of heat transfer that only occurs with liquids and gases because it involves the liquids and gases physically moving, which a solid is unable to do. Convection happens when there is a difference in…

    The total incoming solar radiation is about 3.8 million EJ per year and it can satisfy the entire energy demand if utilise correctly [2]. The use of solar energy is usually identified in two contexts: passive solar energy systems, which use natural processed without mechanical equipment and no additional energy and active solar energy systems, which utilise solar energy with the assistance of mechanical equipment [3]. Solar thermal collectors, photovoltaics,…

    energy loss at the particle surface due to the collisions with the surrounding gas molecules. There is no simple theory to explain the cooling mechanism of the particles. During the laser pulse, the particle achieves the peak temperature and emit thermal signal. After the laser pulse duration, the particle starts to cool down. The cooling of the particles is characterized by a decay function. The decay of LII signal provides information about the primary particle size and size distribution…

    absorber plate, ensures the reduction of thermal losses due to the heat exchange by convection and radiation and protects the absorber from the outside environment.  A thin copper absorber plate with a black chrome finish on it, which was 1.5 mm thick.  A polystyrene sheet with a thickness of 40 mm, placed alongside a wooden case to minimize the heat loss from the back and sides of the collector. The solar air collector was mounted on the south. The incident radiation is partially reflected…
