What Cosmologists: How Did Everything Start From The Big Bang?

Cosmologists have been trying to answer a particular question for a long time: how did everything start from the Big Bang? The Big Bang was an extremely important event for us, after all, without it, we wouldn’t exist. As much as a big explosion sounds quite simple, the Big Bang is the complete opposite of simple. Before cosmologists and chemists there were the alchemists. They believed that they could recreate the beginning of the universe, that the four basic elements (water, air, earth, and fire), and that energy could change matter. Alchemists’ main goal was to find two things: the Elixir of Eternal Life and the Philosophers’ Stone. By finding the Philosopher’s Stone, transmutations would be made possible and, by doing that, any metal would be changed into gold. So it can be said that alchemy’s goals were also to become rich and live an eternal life. The alchemists would often experiment with the four basic elements and they believed that by changing the proportions of these elements, the substance could be changed into another one. These ideas were too connected to mysticism and alchemists like Thomas Daught

Together with Pierre, she built a special “scale” to measure the velocity of invisible rays. On one side they put pitch-blende and, on the other side they would put weights so that they could apply pressure on the crystal. They found that, with the pitch-blende, a current 4-times greater was produced than with pure uranium, this was an indication that more than one element was present, leading to the discovery of polonium (named after Marie’s home country, Poland) and radium. The Curies were so fascinated with the beautiful color that radium radiated in the dark, that they would go every night to their lab and observe it glow. This, however, was proven to be a bad decision since Marie died of leukemia, a disease related to exposure to
