make to cosmology?
The figure below is based on an assumed Hubble constant of 70 km/s/Mpc. How would you change the diagram to fit a Hubble constant of 50 km/s/Mpc?
If the evolution of the universe were

I'm doing a debate about Kalam cosmological.
I need to have an example of something out of nothing (Or maybe we can't prove the cause)?
Can you help give 5 modern physics example?
