The Big Bang Theory What is the Big Bang Theory? The Big Bang is the dominant (and highly supported) theory of the origin of the universe. In essence‚ this theory states that the universe began from an initial point or singularity which has expanded over billions of years to form the universe as we now know it. In 1959 a survey was conducted of scientists across America concerning their understanding of the physical sciences. One particular question asked “What is your concept of the age of

Title: The Expanding Universe Objective: To interpret a model demonstrating the theories of our expanding universe. Hypothesis: Materials: •1 un-inflated balloon (when inflated‚ the balloon should have a round shape and be approximately the size of a soccer ball) •Markers •About 30 cm (12 inches) of string or yarn •Ruler or tape measure Procedures: Note: Read all the instructions for this lab before you begin working! Pre-reading the procedure‚ will give you a mental picture

According to most astrophysicists‚ all the matter found in the universe today -- including the matter in people‚ plants‚ animals‚ the earth‚ stars‚ and galaxies -- was created at the very first moment of time‚ thought to be about 13 billion years ago. The universe began‚ scientists believe‚ with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force‚ creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast

Jessica Dowdy 1/5/2011 A Block A. Astronomy/ Space 1. Big Bang Theory: a. The Big Bang Theory is the theory that the entire universe was once confined to a dense‚ hot‚ super massive ball then 12-17 billion years ago huge expansions occurred and material in the ball began moving out in all directions. Then‚ instant cooling ensued due to the expansion and thus the universe was born. b. Individuals Roles in the BBT: Edwin Hubble – Created the most powerful telescope of the time

Turner‚ Travis 2 October 2007 Barron Does God Exist? Throughout history there has always been an impulse to figure out the truth. When one matter is stated to be true‚ there is always something to provoke a question concerning that truth. Truths including: The Earth being flat‚ the planets and the stars revolving around the Earth‚ even where babies come from. All this was at one point given as fact and not truly questioned. Any ideas supported by the church was just written down and left

Doppler Effect Predicts the Future of Universe Have you ever observed a speeding Car? What do you observe of the Sound it produces? The Sound of the Car increases as it approaches you‚ takes highest peak when close to you‚ and recedes as it speeds away from you! Why do you hear a varying sound level as the car speeds by you? Couldn’t have the sound been at constant level? Wondering what makes the sound behave like that? Sound is a disturbance caused in a particle medium‚ which is propagated

According to the Big Bang Theory‚ the universe was born from Nothing. This vast‚ dynamic‚ timeless‚ and immeasurable universe‚ created from Nothing in less than a billionth of a second. Now I believe that this universe is energy. Everything around us‚ the sun‚ the moon‚ the stars‚ the planets– they are all energy. Celestial or man made‚ kinetic or potential – everything is energy. Energy is infinite‚ as stated in the Law of Conservation of Energy: “Energy cannot be created nor destroyed‚ however
