In our lives we’ve all looked into the night’s sky and admired its beauty. But those stars that dot the skies are moving‚ most of them rapidly away from us. In Chapter 3 of A Brief History of Time‚ Hawking describes the beginning of our universe‚ otherwise known as the big bang‚ and how our universe is expanding. In Chapter 4‚ Hawking explains the dismissal of the idea that future events can be predicted because of the belief that the universe was completely deterministic. As I read chapters 3 and

“A Hubble Space Telescope photograph of the universe evokes far more awe for creation than light streaming through a stained glass window in a cathedral.” We know more about our universe than we ever have thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope’s clear crisp photos of objects far away in space. “Earth’s atmosphere alters and blocks the light that comes from space. Hubble orbits above Earth’s atmosphere‚ which gives it a better view of the universe than telescopes have at ground level.” (NASA‚ 2009)

If you have been doing much reading on astronomy‚ you have probably come across the term "red shift". When astronomers are explaining how far away a distant object is‚ they will usually say something like "The red shift of the galaxy (or other object) indicates that it is about 4 billion light years away". What does "red shift" mean‚ and how can it tell us how far away an object is? Since most of the things we look at in the sky are so far away‚ we cannot visit them and find out what they are made

The Creation of the Universe In my short life on this planet I have come to question things that many take upon blind faith. We all know that we must some day die; yet we continuously deny the forces at work inside ourselves‚ which want to search out the answers of what may or may not come after. It is far easier for humanity to accept that they will go to a safe haven and be rewarded for their lives with pleasures and fantasies of an unfathomable scale than to question the existence

Gregory Ortega Big bang Scientist around the world studies the stars and planets to learn more about the past or to learn how that and our planets are alike. But then there are other scientist who got even deeper and learn what created the planets and stars these scientist are called astronomers and we have learned so much from the science and research they do every day. One major theory from the scientist is that the universe was created by the mixture or gases and matter. And the gases and matter

Do you ever notice how sometimes when you are sitting in the car and hear the ambulance it seems to take forever for it to come around you? Or how about times when you yell “HEY YOU” or “MOM” in a grocery store standing in the middle of the aisle people from all directions can hear you….and some even answer?

Introduction Ask people to introduce themselves‚ and they will likely give their first and last names. Ask for more information‚ and they may refer back to their parents or grandparents. Additional inquiry may prod them to talk about a few of their ancestors. How many times can someone expect to hear people refer to their connection to early man or to the universe – the cosmic connections that enable people to co-exist with other humans and things – living and non-living? Is this apparent

Argument Essay 1 Jessica Roberts September 2‚ 2013 Period 3 The Creationism Controversy Public schools have banned the theory of creationism from being taught. The Scopes Trial caused creationism to be ignored‚ as evolution was taught freely. Like evolution‚ The Big Bang Theory is promptly taught‚ and promoted among young students. By only teaching one theory of the creation of the universe‚ children are not given the opportunity to choose what they believe. If public schools taught creationism along with other theories
