    Einstein’s theory was influential to the development of the Big Bang theory because it created the cosmological constant. Alexander Friedmann used Einstein’s theory in order to come up with his own findings. He applied general relativity to cosmology without using the cosmological constant. He found solutions to field equations that created the preliminary work of the Big Bang Theory. His solutions created the

    The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe.[1] According to the theory‚ the Big Bang occurred approximately 13.798 ± 0.037 billion years ago‚[2][3][4][5][6][7] which is thus considered the age of the universe.[8][9][10][11] After this time‚ the Universe was in an extremely hot and dense state and began expanding rapidly. After the initial expansion‚ the Universe cooled sufficiently to allow energy to be converted into various subatomic

    Theory The big bang is a theory which describes how our universe started . Many discoveries in physics and astronomy tell us that our universe in fact had a beginning .This theory became the most widely accepted theory that has come to dominate cosmology .(1:1)‚(3:1) 2. The beginning of the universe According to the big bang our universe came into existence as a “singularity” about 13.7 billion years ago ‚ but what is singularity?

    Some Evidence for an Infinite Universe Observations from the WMAP satellite show with a 0.5% margin of error that the universe has a flat geometry‚ which suggests that its size is unbounded.[i] Director of the Institute for Cosmology at Tufts University‚ Alexander Vilenkin says‚ “The theory of inflation is by far the best explanation we have for the big bang. If we accept this theory‚ and refuse to mutilate it by adding any ad hoc‚ unnecessary features‚ then we have no choice but to accept

    “The evolution of the world can be compared to a display of fireworks that has just ended; some few red wisps‚ ashes and smoke. Standing on a cooled cinder‚ we see the slow fading of the suns‚ and we try to recall the vanishing brilliance of the origin of the worlds.” (Four Pillars‚ n.d.) The Big Bang theory is perhaps the greatest discovery of all time. The Big Bang is a cosmological model that explains how the universe came to be and is based on known and well-tested laws of physics. However

    There is much more dark matter than normal (visible) matter in the universe. According to (this source) roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%‚ while everything else in the universe (physical matter like the atoms that make up planets and stars) makes up less than 5% of the universe. According to (this source) the universe is actually 96% of dark matter and dark energy. With 73% being dark energy and 23% being dark matter but the implications

    history‚ god. A great question that has always pondered our minds for as long as people have existed is does god exist? In Todd Moody’s‚ Does God Exist?‚ Moody ponders the very question of god’s existence. Even though there is no direct evidence or physical evidence to prove god’s nonexistence‚ there is enough indirect evidence to help support the fact that god does not exist. No matter how many people are interviewed for a poll‚ there are always going to be numbers that don’t seem to add up. Especially

    Doppler Effect Predicts the Future of Universe Have you ever observed a speeding Car? What do you observe of the Sound it produces? The Sound of the Car increases as it approaches you‚ takes highest peak when close to you‚ and recedes as it speeds away from you! Why do you hear a varying sound level as the car speeds by you? Couldn’t have the sound been at constant level? Wondering what makes the sound behave like that? Sound is a disturbance caused in a particle medium‚ which is propagated
