Universe

Terrence Malick’s film The Tree of Life uses a unique mixture of linear and avant-garde techniques to prove his philosophy that everything in the universe is formed through both nature and through grace. On one hand, the film explores the dynamics of a family living in 1950’s American Suburbia, yet it also explores the vastness of the universe, from its mysterious creation to its glorious demise, and countless moments in between. Though a linear Hollywood film might make these events out to be…

The Big Bang is the most widely accepted theory about how our universe first began. This theory was first proposed by Belgian priest Georges Lemaître in the 1920’s. It suggests the universe was once condensed into a space equivalent to less than a grain of sand and expanded to billions of kilometers wide in about a second producing incredible amounts of heat. Everything you see is from that rapid expansion. That’s difficult to imagine, however, 3 major pieces of evidence support this; Hubble’s…

possibilities. The propulsion systems these spacecraft are to be far more advanced that of what is in current use. As stated earlier if nuclear fusion is to be incorporated into propulsion systems the distance in which mankind is to travel throughout the universe would increase greatly. Instead of being able to reach Mars in two to three months, it could take only but a few minutes to reach Mars with this warp drive. Even without a warp drive engine, it would still be possible to reach distant…

In a critique of Lawrence Krauss’s book A Universe from Nothing, William Lane Craig made the following claim, “The question is, if the universe began to exist and there was not anything before it then how did the universe come into being? It seems to me you have to postulate some sort of a transcendent, immaterial, non-physical reality to bring the universe into existence”. Actually, this is not merely a claim; Craig would like this statement to function as an argument for a particular worldview…

understanding, it was a good point, no one had any clue exactly how the world was made. Today however, we have plenty of theories on how the universe was created, of course one would not be considered wrong in believing such things would debunk this argument. Perhaps on the surface the argument seems quite thin when looking at it, I mean now we have a way that the universe was created in “The Big Bang” we have disproven the existence of God, right? Well, perhaps if you are trying to find…

scientific community, the universe began its "life" roughly 14 billion years ago when space, time and even the atoms in our bodies formed in less than a blink of an eye. The universe expanded rapidly - from the size of a pin's head to that of the entire Solar System in less than a few seconds, and it is still growing to form the cold, dark and inhospitable vastness that we know today. Among all the…

misinterpreted for what some may describe as the origin of the universe. However, this misconception actually informs us on how our universe was created in one single explosion, which is said to have happened approximately fourteen billion years ago.8 Everything that makes up who we are and what surrounds us started then, as an infinitely small volume that continued to expand in a ridiculously fast rate, where within a matter of minutes the universe became the size of our solar system. Our solar…

Did you ever think on how the universe ever started ? It all started in total darkness. An astronomer named Edwin Hubble found out that the galaxies were moving farther away, he knew that by a telescope that he created and it is called the hubble telescope. When the universe exploded it began to spread really quickly and when it exploded the universe had a very high temperature when this happened. Which created formation of elements ,gravity,redshift ,doppler effect,CMB, many more . The big…

Divine nature of the Universe is a highly controversial topic engrossing the minds of philosophers since the Antiquity up to nowadays. Mostly these controversies arise from the inconsistency of theological explanations on the nature of religion. Another topic under debates is on the subject on Human nature. In the given paper, I am going to compare Cleanthes’ and Philo’s views on Deity and reflect upon their disagreements on the inductive argumentation, and provide the explanation of deductive…

Galileo later then expanded on Copernicus’s theory and to prove it, Galileo and made the telescope better. He saw the farthest into the universe than anyone before. He saw that there were craters on the surface of the moon. He saw that there were spots on to sun. Galileo was that there were multiple moons were orbiting Jupiter. He observed Venus moving through phases much like Earth’s moon. This information persuaded Galileo that Copernicus was right. Just as Jupiter’s moons orbited that giant…
