Big Bang Report

Overview of the Big Bang
We don’t know what happened at or before the start of the universe because we don’t have the equipment to look back into space that far but scientists have an idea of what happened at around 10-43 seconds after the start of time. As the poster above shows, the big bang theory is the leading theory on how the universe began from an infinitely hot single point in space and then rapidly expanded, cooling and developing into the universe we know today, which is still evolving. At 10-35 seconds, the universe expanded faster than the speed of light; it was so hot and pressurised that all the basic forces were unified into one. There was more matter than antimatter in the big bang, which resulted in As it …show more content…

Inflation happened 10-35 seconds after the beginning of time. This is when there was very fast expansion of space, which is only stopped when the energy was converted into matter and energy like there is today.

The universe takes shape after 10-6 seconds from the beginning of time, when

Formation of basic elements at 3 seconds

The radiation era at 10,000 years

Cosmic microwave background is the oldest light in the universe and with a sensitive radio telescope you can see a uniform weak light from everywhere in the universe. CMB is the strongest electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the radio spectrum that isn’t related to any star or galaxy. This was formed when the universe was much younger at around 380,000 years after the big bang; it was filled with very dense hot hazy hydrogen plasma like explained above. The big bang means that everything would have started at one small point hence the plasma, but this would be hard to believe without the CMB for evidence. It’s uniform from every direction we look at it in space; this is because we are essentially looking back in time to when the universe was developing. This means that all of the thermal radiation is at the same stage in the universe and therefore the photons emitted are uniform because they haven’t developed into matter

However, the Universe was insanely hot (billions of degrees), so it is bursting with energy. With that intense amount of energy, “...the Universe expanded explosively, perhaps faster than the speed of light.” Afterwards, the cooling Universe began a series of “phase changes.” During the first second of its existence, distant forces like electromagnetism and gravity forms. At first, the universe was so roughed that particles destroyed themselves, resulting in pure energy.

I found Chapter nine to be very interesting. Chapter nine discusses how the world came together. There are various suggestions in chapter nine that discuss how the world came into order. Livingston says, “A cosmology is an account of the emergence or creation of world order (183).” There is a difference in cosmology when it comes to a primal substance and cosmology from a union of a primal male and female.

However, as the universe has expanded, it has expanded faster than ever before. One theory that explains this is that a large dark energy force is pulling it apart. Dark Matter: Dark matter can’t release or reflect light; however, scientists can estimate the exact location of the dark matter using gravitational lensing.

Situation: This piece of writing is argumentative based to discuss how scientism is not necessarily the answer to everything but plays a large role in society. In 2012, author Massimo Pigliucci uses the show “The Big Bang Theory” to discuss how science is highly important and necessary for our world to grow, but cannot replace literature, philosophy, and art because each aspect is needed for humans to thrive. An example from the text being that character Howard from the show has an equation to calculate his chances of having sex by figuring out the number of single women who may find him to be attractive (pg. 279). Pigliucci is pointing out that instead of exuding confidence and finding a female to talk to, Howard just uses science to justify why he can or cannot find a female to be with. The same issue is involving Sheldon when he creates “The Friendship Algorithm” in order to make friends (pg. 280).

Too much matter in space would make everything too heavy, and the universe would collapse. On the other hand, not enough matter in the universe would make everything too light, and it would “fly apart”. (Lisle, 2010) An explosion like the Big Bang would not have created the perfect balance we have today, in fact, it would have destroyed it. The Scriptural problems with this hypothesis should be self -evident.

Of course, “everywhere” was initially a very tiny smaller-than-a-speck “singularity.” Particle physicists tell us there is no limit to the number of photons that can simultaneously occupy the same tiny

Reproducing a Ruthless Withdrawal: The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang theory is a well established cosmological model for the early development of the universe. The theory suggests that the universe was denser and hotter in the past; the key idea is that the universe is expanding. In addition, the model suggests that at some moment in time, all of space was contained in a single point (this is considered the beginning of the universe).

Steven Weinberg’s “The First Three Minutes: A modem view of the origin of the universe” is a book that explains how the early universe developed and the key concepts and theories scientists present on the universe’s properties from 0.01 seconds after it developed to modern times (1977). Divided into seven chapters, and an epilogue, each chapter builds on a key concept and explains it in fairly layman’s terms. Weinberg’s writing makes for an stimulating read, as the book covers concepts we learned in lecture and presents them to his audience in fairly simple terms. The first chapter provides a summary of the universe at its beginning, explaining how it all started with an explosion.

Cosmogony is an account of how the world came into being. Christians believe that God created the universe in his divine wisdom. The world was created within six literal days and that on the seventh day God rested from his creation work and called it Sabbath. Creation was not spontaneous or arbitrary but purposeful. Everything that God created was good and morally upright.

The CMBR is leftover from a dense and intensely hot period early in the universe known as the recombination era where the universe was so hot protons and electrons couldn’t combine and instead formed a plasma, when the universe cooled down below 5000 degrees fahrenheit these protons and electrons could recombine, this recombination released photons which are now form the CMBR we can observe today. The CMBR was key in the big bangs surge in popularity, as it was locked in a debate between itself and the steady state theory, a theory where the universe is perfectly universally dense and the universe creates matter as it expands, this theory expects the universe to be infinitely old. With the CMBR showing that the universe wasn’t constant and was much denser and hotter, lending credence to the big bang and pushing the steady state theory into the shade as the much denser universe that is seen from the CMBR is antagonistic to the universe being perfectly constant and infinitely

Where they came together on the infinite battlefield that was the universe, they would tear each other apart. Shredding and ripping, each fighting to protect what could be theirs. Small parts of themselves, mere wisps of their own glory, would drift among scenes of past battles. Inky streaks of shadow, featherlike shafts of light. Sometimes they would dissipate into nothing, sometimes they would reunite with the primordial force from which they came.

The observable universe is an incredibly vast empty space littered with dense strands of energy, with stars, nebulae and galaxies, but most ubiquitous are the dark unknown particles which rule scientists’ cosmological models. The physical laws governing the behavior of the universe predict that this massive amount of energy will tend toward homogeneity. Eventually, every particle in every star will run out of hydrogen to burn and go quiet, as it continues to spread across the breadth of space. The universe is not a fiction writer, so why should it specialize in

The Big Bang theory states that the Universe started with such, a big bang. Everything that currently exists was once condensed in an extremely hot, extremely dense point, otherwise known as a ‘singularity.’ This singularity then suddenly began expanding, galaxies were spilled out, until everything arrived at its current place, however, the expansion does not stop there,

Humans have often wondered how the universe developed into what it is today. For centuries, it has induced religious and scientific discussions and debates, leading famous scientists to trying to discover the enigma which the development of the universe is. One of the most accepted model to represent the evolution of the universe is the big bang theory. “It is an attempt to explain how the universe developed from a very tiny, dense state into what it is today” (Strickland, 2008).
