Origins of the Universe 1.Identify the current theory of the formation of the universe. The big bang theory. 2.Describe the Doppler effect. The Doppler Effect is when waves moving away from you have a longer wavelength (lowpitch) and waves moving towards you have a shorter wavelength (high pitch) 3.Explain how the Doppler effect gives us information about the movement of stars andgalaxies. Stars moving away from us are red shifted (light of longer wavelength) while stars movingtowards us are

Two poems that explore the change from this life to whatever follows are May Swenson’s “Question” and Emily Dickinson’s “I heard a Fly buzz--when I died--”. The former depicts a someone questioning the fate of her body and soul upon death’s separation while the latter constitutes of a speaker retelling‚ from the grave‚ the moments surrounding her last breath. While both poems are written in first person‚ making the prospect of death personal‚ they differ in tense. “Question” is written in present

The Swensons and Engstroms in America Although no definitive explanation exists for William’s father‚ Charley Swenson‚ remaining in Sweden instead of emigrating with his parents and siblings‚ prospects of a sustainable livelihood accorded him by the inheritance of his father’s property suggests a plausible reason. Conversely‚ the rocky land of northern Gotland‚ hardly suitable for agriculture‚ provided an inhospitable environment for any farmer wishing to flourish.1 Nevertheless‚ perhaps with

perspective a bit more clear I will be providing a few examples. For example ants‚ ants are such small creatures and without doing any research think; what ecological importance does an ant have? Honestly I can’t think of any important roles an ant may have for our ecosystem so I did a bit of research. Ants turn and aerate the soil allowing water and oxygen to reach plant roots; they are also a very important part of the food web. Some species of ants eat termites; others are the actual meal for other

Jesse Brown P.6 5/19/13 Origin Of The Universe The Origin of the Universe: Creation vs. Coincidence Throughout the years‚ mankind has examined the universe for signs of its origin. For centuries‚ two possibilities have been the subject of much debate. Either the beginning of the universe just happened by coincidence‚ or an intelligent being is responsible for its creation. Scientists agree that in order for the universe to be coincidental‚ it would have to be infinite in age. During the

Relativity in the year 1916. This theory is still considered to be an irreplaceable theory and poses challenges while learning. It is no where simplicity‚ it is to complex. In this theory Einstein had a problem with the static universe‚ his theory somethings stating that universe a whole would not remain static‚ gravity should play the role of attracting the things together. But‚ there was no such evidence and hence to cancel this Einstein had to put cosmological constant in his General Theory of Relativity

Nicole Oshan 3/10/2011 ENG 493 Infinite Cosmos and the Wonderful Amazement The Universe is commonly defined as the totality of everything that exists‚ including all physical matter and energy‚ the planets‚ stars‚ galaxies‚ and the contents of intergalactic space. To ponder over the vastness that we on Earth are suspended in is‚ quite frankly‚ amazing. To be able to inspire this awe and amazement in people through writing is an even greater feat.

accepted theory for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory. This theory states that the universe began about 10 billion years ago in a violent explosion; every particle started rushing apart from every other particle in an early super-dense phase. This explosion sent energy and matter flying all over the place. However‚ there is an argument about whether time and space existed before the big bang‚ or did the big bang create time and space. As the universe expanded‚ according to scientific

the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these “hidden” universes.(1)In 1954‚ a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel universes‚ exactly like our universe. (2)These universes are all related to ours; indeed‚ they branch off from ours‚ and our universe is branched off of others. Within these parallel universes‚ our wars have had different outcomes than the
