Does the universe have a center? Explain.
The universe has
a.
an edge and a center.
b.
an edge but no center.
c.
a center but no edge.
d.
no edge and no center.
When we look out into the universe, we see into the past. John Dobson, founder of the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers, says that we cannot even see the backs of our own hands now—in fact, we can’t see anything now. Do you agree? Explain.

- The main reason the night sky is dark is that the universe is a. homogeneous. b. static. c. infinite in size. d. expanding. e. finite in age.arrow_forward*39 Will the universe continue to expand forever? To attack this question, assume that the theory of dark energy is in error and that the recessional speed v of a galaxy a distance r from us is determined only by the gravitational interaction of the matter that lies inside a sphere of radius r centered on us. If the total mass inside this sphere is M, the escape speed v, from the sphere is v. = V2GMIT (Eq. 13-28). (a) Show that to prevent unlimited expansion, the aver- age density p inside the sphere must be at least equal to ЗН 87G (b) Evaluate this "critical density" numerically; express your an- swer in terms of hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. Measurements of the actual density are difficult and are complicated by the pres- ence of dark matter.arrow_forwardThe density of the universe is a. equal to the critical density if the universe is closed. b. equal to the critical density if the universe is flat. c. greater than the critical density if the universe is flat. d. greater than the critical density if the universe is open. e. none of the above.arrow_forward
