Timeline of The Big Bang The broadly accepted theory for the origin and evolution of our universe is the Big Bang model, which states that the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point roughly 13.7 billion years ago before expanding into a large, unexplored cosmos; home to an unknown amount of planets and systems. The universe begins with a cataclysm that generates space and time, as well as all the matter and energy the universe will ever hold. For an incomprehensibly small fraction of a
Every particle in nature represents the complex, and intricate structure of the universe. The human body alone undergoes many different processes per second, and yet, is able to do so almost without error. It’s almost undeniable that there is design in nature, however, many question whether or not this design just came about or if it implies that a designer exists. Science and religion attempt to explain design in nature in a much different context, and seem to be in conflict with one another about
American science writer Michael Shermer once said, “Are science and religion compatible? It’s like [asking]: Are science and plumbing compatible? They’re just two different things.” This concept of the incompatibility of religion and science is not recent, as it has been debated for many centuries. One of the most popular theories used to debate religion and science’s compatibility is the Big Bang Theory. In this debate, religion challenges science’s ‘extreme’ logical explanation of the origin of
People been wondering for year if we live in Hologram. At first I thought they was crazy and stupid for believing this theory. I was being arrogant and close minded about the topic. We started talking and reading more about the hologram theory. It's understandable on how people that we are in a hologram. The article "Our world May Be a Gigantic Hologram" was the first article to educate me about the hologram theory. The second article was about the black hole and how representation of a universe
science nonfiction book and 128 pages. Relativity : From Einstein to Black Holes discusses Einsteins theory of relativity. Relativity : From Einstein to Black Holes explores Einstein’s work on creating his theory of relativity, radioastronomy, cosmology and field theory based on Einsteins theory and is aimed to help others understand Einsteins theories. The book explains how Einstein was influenced by other scientist work on relativity and why Einstein created his theory of relativity. The theory
Theories of How The Universe Formed There are many theories on how the universes was created. Some being ideas based on science and some being mere myths. The Big Bang Theory is a science based theory, it gives a rational explanation as to how the universe might have come into existence. The Big Bang theory states that all matter of the universe started a one giant atom which exploded with a 'big bang' sending dust a gas in all directions. That gas and dust then forming the suns and planets we
This debate between whether science and religion are compatible has been going on for decades. Science and religion conflict with each other for many things, such as for how the universe began. People have mixed views on the topic. Some people think there’s too much conflict for them to be compatible, whilst others think they can be in harmony. This is quite a polemical theme and that’s why in this essay I’m going to clarify how far I agree with the following statement: ‘There is too much conflict
What is ‘knowledge’ and how would the survival of our species rely on knowledge to fulfill our curiosity? Knowledge is a term used to describe an understanding of something that is acquired through experience, learning, or discovering. This term is topical and its change is dependent on the time that it derives from. For instance, in a Core Friday lecture led by Tom Hothem, we were able to be part of an exercise where we determined “what we know” versus “what we don’t know” and with the results,
Dennis Overbye wrote a fascinating article called “Gravitational Waves Detected, Confirming Einstein’s Theory”. The main idea in this article was to tell us how on Thursday, February 11, scientists discovered gravitational waves cause by two black holes colliding a billion light-years away and in addition to the research leading up to the discovery to gravitational waves. The article starts telling the readers how a team of scientists announced on Thursday, February 11, that they had heard and
Many people are inclined to believe that square one is the beginning and must be defined as such to truly understand what square one is. The Big bang, the start of our universe, a black hole, nothingness, a blank slate, etc, but I must disagree. Literally speaking we, and everything else in this universe, are just statistical variables that are on a quest for a conclusion. This conclusion may or may not include unlimited entropy theorized as the Big Freeze, or an infinitely intense energy state theorized
