For about fifty years now‚ astronomers have been detecting particles with energies greater than eight billion electronvolts "bombarding" Earth. Up until now‚ the origin of these particles has been a mystery. The reason the answer took so long for us to get‚ is because these high charged particles only falls on about one square kilometer of Earth per year. With this little amount of impact‚ it was quite difficult for astronomers to determine its origin. This miraculously changed when the same type

Abstract The needs for an instrument that would take images of the universe from the space were inevitable since there were so many challenges studying space and the universe from earth. The Hubble telescope‚ named after the great scientist who confirmed the big bang theory‚ was the solution to this and it has been in space for the more than 20 years it was supposed to live. Over the time‚ the telescope has sent home so much information that mankind has realized how little they knew about the universe

Have you ever wonder how universe was formed? Or even dreamed to explore outside the earth? Well‚ that was so fantastic and fabulous to think. Many queries tickles every cerebrum of individuals here on earth that invented unusual kinds of devices‚ spaceships and even stupefying suites to reach and witness the amazing contemplate outside the world we live. There comes the astronomers that spend almost half of their lives in experimenting and discovering the mysteries behind the peculiar creations

It would be nearly impossible to document every occurrence from ~13.7 billion years ago (the proposed beginning of the universe) to the present; however‚ comedic author Bill Bryson manages to provide great intellectual insight into many complex topics while still making entertaining remarks. Although he may be no expert in the arcane fields of quantum physics or mathematics‚ Bryson relied on a wide variety of sources (e.g. scientific research papers‚ interviews with experts) to compile this readily

Year 10 Science Practical Report Big Bang Theory Introduction According to the scientific community‚ all the matter in the universe began in a very tiny‚ hot and compacted point. But what exactly caused this point to become the universe we know today? The “big bang” theory is the popular explanation for where the galaxies‚ stars and planets came from. At the moment of the big bang‚ the hot‚ compact point began expanding like a balloon‚ rather than an actual explosion like most people believe

The idea of science and religion being ’at war’ with eachother has come about when ideas of evolution and the big bang theory were put forward. When Darwins theory on evolution was put forward‚ conflict arose with religious believers because the theory contradicted what was in their holy books. Ever since the theory of evolution‚ and other scientific evidence that contradicts some holy books‚ there has been a rise in atheism and non religious believers. But the seperation has allowed scientists

‘An accidental universe is as likely as a created one.’ Discuss Stephen Hawking‚ one of the World’s leading scientists‚ released a new book in 2010 called‚ ‘The Grand Design.’ He and his co-author‚ Leonard Mlodinow‚ stated that‚ ‘you don’t need God to create the universe because the laws of gravity and a certain version of quantum physics suffice to make it inevitable that the universe will create itself‚ out of nothing‚ in an infinite variety of forms; and given an infinite variety of forms‚ a

The evolution of the early universe was the aftermath of the big bang. The early stages of the universe evolved which lead to the creation of matter and the separation of what is now known as the four fundamental particles of the universe. The creation of matter in the early universe was aided by the four fundamental forces‚ the strong force‚ the weak force‚ the electromagnetic force and the force of gravity. The standard model includes the three of the four fundamental forces excluding gravity

The National Geographic Magazine stated back in 2008 that the purpose of the Large Hadron Collider is “simple but ambitious: to crack the code of the physical world; to figure out what the universe is made of; in other words‚ to get to the very bottom of things.” While this might not directly benefit humankind - in fact it is actually quite scary - the many scientists working on the project are likely
