The Big Bang – Information sheet
13.7 billion years ago, the universe was created by matter expanding at a rapid pace causing extremely high temperatures and density to form otherwise known as, the Big Bang. According to the theories of physics, if we were to look at the Universe one second after the Big Bang, all we would see is a 10-billion-degree sea of neutrons, protons, and electrons. As time went on, we would see the Universe cool, causing the neutrons to either decay into protons or electrons. As it continued to cool, the universe would eventually be formed. Due to nothing ever being formed before the Big Bang, nothing existed.

“The Cosmic perspective” Written by Neal deGrasse Tyson, is an essay that goes in-depth on the beauty of the universe. At the beginning of the essay, Tyson talks about how the ideas of astronomy came from simple beginnings scientifically but have advanced with humanity. In Addition to this, Tyson talks about how the scientific perspective can only be studied by those with the privilege of not focusing on survival. Tyson gives a litany of examples demonstrating how science has increased humanity's collective knowledge. Tyson's main idea in the text is that the cosmic perspective allows us to see the beauty of the universe beyond earth, and why we should focus more on getting all members of society to that point.

One astronomer, Edwin Hubble, found a variable star located inside Andromeda’s spiral nebula and measured its’ period. By using Leavitt’s period-luminosity relationship, Hubble found the luminosity of that variable star. By knowing the star’s luminosity and measuring its’ apparent brightness, Hubble was able to calculate the distance from Earth to Andromeda. He calculated a distance of over 900,000 light years, which exceeded the distance across the Milky Way (100,000 light years). His findings proved that Andromeda was a galaxy in its’ own right, and therefore it is possible that there are other galaxies out in the

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).

According to Japanese culture the birth of the celestial and earthly world was created from the union between the first god and goddess, or the gods of creation Izanagi and Izanami. Before them the universe was immersed in a beaten and shapeless kind of matter, referred to as chaos. The mass of the earth was sunk in silence, until eventually the particles began to come to life and create movement. This movement brought sound to the world. The light particles were the lightest and floated to the top of the universe, while the slightly heavier particles floated down to create the clouds and the heavens.

1) in the beginning. An unlikely pair, Wisaka and Muskrat, who lives in the beginning, work together to create Earth. Even though a majority of creation myths depict a void in the beginning, some do not, such as “How the World Was Made”, an interesting creation myth from none other than the Cherokee. In the creation myth “How the World Was Made” the Cherokee do not include a time before the Earth was created. Instead, the Cherokee begin by describing Earth as “a great island floating in a sea of water…suspended at each of the four cardinal points by a cord hanging down from the sky vault, which is of solid rock” (Cherokee para. 1).
