...Everything started with the big bang, one brief moment in time 14 billion years ago that contain the answers to our greatest questions about our past, our present, and our future. There are billions and billions galaxies in the world, we can’t even imagine what those numbers mean but 14 billion years ago, none of it existed until the big bang the origin of space and time. This is our world cities forest oceans people everything is made of matter created of the big bang. Every star, every planet, every drop of water. The big bang is the defining event of our universe and everything in it. The secrets of our past, our present and our future are in one moment in time. So was there before the bang, what banged and did it banged. We built machines the size of cities to simulate conditions when the universe was created and space telescope to peer deep into our past. “We are getting close to answering the old-age questions. Why are we here? Where did we come from? Does the universe in fact have a beginning or an end...? If we know the answer we know the mind of god” (A Brief History of Time 3). Since 1920 everything we know about universe has been turned upside down. Before that we thought our universe was static and eternal. Until 1919 scientist believed that the Milky Way (earth’s Galactic Home) contained the whole universe. . In that Era there was a lucky astronomer who had the privilege to work at the world’s largest and most advance telescope in” Mount Wilson Observatory...

...it is important to understand what Big Bang Theory (BBT) is and is not. Contrary to the common perception, it is not a theory about the origin of the universe. Rather, it describes the development of the universe over time. This process is often called "cosmic evolution". Over the last several decades the basic picture of cosmology given by BBT has been generally accepted by astronomers, physicists and the wider scientific community. However, no similar consensus has been reached on ideas about the ultimate origin of the universe. This remains an area of active research and some of idea current ideas are discussed below. That said, BBT is nevertheless about origins In addition to being a theory about the origins of the basic building blocks for the world we see today, Given the nature of the subject matter, it is also frequently discussed with heavy religious overtones. Young Earth Creationists dismiss it as an "atheistic theory", dreamt up by scientists looking to deny the divine creation account from Genesis. Conversely, Old Earth Creationists (as well as other Christians) have latched onto BBT as proof of Genesis, claiming that the theory demonstrates that the universe had an origin and did not exist at some point in the distant past. Finally, some atheists have argued that BBT rules out a creator for the universe. What is the Big Bang theory? a) Common misconceptions about the Big Bang In most popularized science sources, it is often described with something like...

...The Big Bang. First time visitors would always be left startled and shaken, for the deafening sound of the blast would catch everyone’s attention. The ground would shake, and combined with the loud blasting sound, no matter what you were doing at that time, you would hear the sound and feel the earth moving beneath you. It did not matter how many times you heard the sound, every blast would send a chill down your spine. Not only humans, but animals would notice too. On hearing the blast the odd dog would start barking, as if to signal to other dogs, that would trigger a chain reaction and before you knew it all the dogs in the neighborhood would join, and for the next couple of minutes we would be treated to free dog Orchestra. Up to now however I still can’t make out what key they would be singing in, we just used to call it the discord key. I can still hear the sounds, high pitched and low pitched barking, which would gradually fade out and be followed by a chilling silence. The debate is still out there as to whether that was real silence, or just our ears note recovering and not hearing the low pitched sounds after the deafening sound of the blast. Growing up in an Iron mining town, one did not need a watch to know when it was 12 O’clock. For Every day right on time, the blasting in the humongous open cast mine would go off. Not only cracking the big iron ore rocks underneath, but letting everyone know that it was Midday. “I love the sound, of the blast” my...

...Inflation is one of the leading theories explaining the structure of the cosmos, first proposed in 1979 by Alan Guth as a major refinement of the Big Bang theory. In this post, I will explore the basics of inflation as well as how it resolves some problems with the Big Bang theory. The basics Cosmological inflation proposes that between 10−36 and 10−33/32 seconds after the Big Bang singularity, there was an inflationary epoch wherein the universe underwent an immense, exponential expansion of gargantuan scale. In a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, the universe expanded more rapidly than the speed of light itself- this does not violate Einstein’s dictum that light-speed is the universal speed limit, however, because it is empty space...

...Question 1: The Big Bang Theory, a television show, follows many management concepts. In the episode, “The Bus Pants Utilization”(See Appendix), Leonard comes up with an idea to create a smartphone application will help solve differential equations. This episode conveys the disadvantages of team decision making and correlates directly with Ben Schneider’s ASA theory. As Leonard came up with the idea, Sheldon cannot let go of the fact he’s not in control of the situation nor the leader of the gang. Ultimately, most time is spent on the power struggle between Sheldon and Leonard, and Sheldon naming the device after his initials, rather than working with the group and developing a business strategy. Another disadvantage of team decision making in the episode is displayed through Raj and Howard’s indecisiveness and compromise with the decisions of both leaders. In the end, Leonard emerges as the natural leader, as he displays that he can hold the group together and his ability to work with team. As in Ben Schneider’s ASA model, the team attracted a leader that seemed to embody the team’s objectives, then selected the leader that embodied the team’s objectives, then Leonard fired Sheldon as did not embody the team’s objectives. This episode is a direct correlation of art reflecting the finance business. Usually there is not group decision making as it’s too costly and the power struggle for leadership takes too much time. The key in finance is to make money. If you can emerge...

...Research paper : The weakness of the big bang Theory Submitted By Nyasha Deredza Id Number: 2012050156 Instructor: Ps. C. Thebe Date: 29 June 2015 Introduction Philosophers and General people have come up with many theories, in an attempt to explain the origins of the earth. They have tried to come up with models which try to explain how the earth came into being, and its future. One of the popularly known theory is the Big Bang theory, which presupposes that for the universe to originate ,all matter that we know was contained in a tiny speck which went on to explode. The theory continues to develop and evolve from the time it was conceptualized. Scientists have taken part in contribution to this. For a long time now people have upheld various ideas of what the universe is like, from the Aristotelian to the Copernican universe among other ideas. Soon after the inventions of physics by Isaac Newton, philosophers began to think that there was a time when planets and perhaps stars did not exist but only a cloud of matter. Shortly after that it is believed that gravity pulled the matter into clumps, forming stars and planets. This sounds absurd of course, at least in my opinion because it is not possible that the universe and its complexity were as a result of a coincidental mistake .The big bang theory has some advantages and disadvantages as well, however he aim of this research paper is to examine the weaknesses of the Big bang theory and its flaws. The theory...

...P1 Big Bang This theory tells us our universe began from tiny point. Due to explosion (the big bang) the universe stated to expand in blink of eye. Scientist believes that is still expanding. The big bang occurred 13.7 billion years ago. There are general pattern to follow for every theory to be true. Introduction- all matter in the universe was concentrated in one point. Research – they scientist discovered that the universe is still continues to expand, they do this by looking at few experiments such as droplet or red shift. Hypothesis – there are many hypothesis related to this theory for example, asking whether the universe is still expanding. Hypothesis can come in vary ways like questions and for this case is question and proving...

...Big Bang Might have been just a Big Bounce Basically, the big bounce is a theory wherein the expansion of our universe comes from the crunch of the previous one. It may seem farfetched but with an understanding of quantum mechanics and considering the unpredictability of these discoveries, its feasibility can be seen. Shall this theory remain an idea straight out of science fiction or will it change the way that we look at the universe? Let us suppose that the theory is correct. The primary thought will probably be "We've believed in something wrong for centuries. What if this is another one of them. " This would take a toll on the populace's trust for science in general. Personally, I see that it is possible. This in turn has influenced my curiosity and I now hunger for further information on this. When we dig deeper we will be hit by the underlying dilemma. "When will our big crunch starry?” as well as "What happens when it re-expands?" Do we get a do over on life? Or are we reshuffled randomly never to return to our current states? Are we a hand in a game of poker to be put back in the deck when the game is done and reshuffled for the next round? It is a morbid query I know. Yet these enormous theories bring about philosophical thinking deeper than I have fathomed During my deep contemplation, an even more frightening thought crossed my mind. "Are we even the slightest bit consequential in this universe which apparently will remix us again eventually rendering our accomplishments...

...BIG BANG THEORY ------------------------------------------------- The first primordial stars began as tiny seeds that grew rapidly into stars one hundred times the mass of our own Sun. Seen here in this artist impression, swirling clouds of hydrogen and helium gasses are illuminated by the first starlight to shine in the Universe. About 13.7 billion years ago, the Big Bang is thought to have created our universe. For about 1.5 billion years, the universe went through a cosmic dark age, until finally the first stars and galaxies were born. Many details of how those stars were born are not known, but the new experiment helps fill in some gaps. "The first star formation is a really fascinating intersection between chemistry and cosmology," said researcher Daniel Savin of Columbia University in New York, during a Wednesday press conference. "What it's telling us is that in order to understand the very beginnings of star formation, we need to really understand fundamental chemistry." Early universe unveiled The early universe was made mostly of hydrogen, with some helium and trace amounts of other elements. This matter clumped together under its own gravitational pull to form clouds. Within these clouds, scientists think hydrogen atoms (which contain one proton and one electron) bonded with negatively charged hydrogen ions (one proton and two electrons) to form molecular hydrogen, consisting of two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded. This chemical reaction served to cool...

...YOLO had become the most frequently mentioned slang term among the students, just edging out “totes” for “totally” and “cray” (or “cray-cray”) for “crazy.” What accounts for the meteoric rise of YOLO, and how has it gone virtually unnoticed by nonmillennials? Its appeal to the youthful is self-evident. YOLO as a shorthand mantra defines youth, on a certain level. What is teenagehood if not the adventurous, often foolhardy, desire to test the limits of acceptable behavior—because hey, why not? YOLO! The carpe diem sentiment of “you only live once” has a long history predating its punchy acronymic clipping. Garson O’Toole, on his Quote Investigator blog, traces variations on the theme back to the 18th century, as in this line from Samuel Richardson’s novel “Clarissa”: “We live but once in this world; and when gone, are gone from it for ever.” The exact wording of “you only live once” begins cropping up in the late 19th century, and by 1937 it was popular enough to be used as the title of a Fritz Lang film noir. One wry elaboration, credited to the comedian Joe E. Lewis in 1952, is “You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.” Today’s young purveyors of YOLO do indeed appear to be trying to work it right, though what that means is up for debate. Eble’s students illustrate its typical use, as a carefree tag to explain an impulsive choice: “You want to park illegally in this spot? YOLO!” “Should I buy these shoes or pay rent? YOLO!” The word has also found...

...Marilynn Jones Liberty University PHSC 210-A17 Sonia Cooper Weeks Adjunct Instructor Table of Contents I. Introduction II. Old - Earth View III. Young - Earth View IV. Compare and Contrast V. Conclusion Introduction Christians today have a biblical principle and opinion of the universe existence. Christians believe that God created earth and that he accomplished that in only six days. Genesis 1 explains the creation and the interpretation is so utterly clear and one writer states “Thus, any interpretation that goes beyond a clear plain meaning of the text is considered to compromise Biblical authority and capitulate to evolutionary theories”. One look at the Young Earth View is said to be formed from the Modern English Bible. Jon W Greene also writes that “Two Christian apologists state this problem well: “When the ‘young earth’ creationist insists that the biblical evidence indicates an earth only six to ten thousand years old, all communication bridges to the secular science community break down. The communication gap widens and such reactionary creationist views are labeled as ‘folk science.’ The scriptures and the gospel are consequently dismissed as meaningless.” And, “Many non-Christians are driven away from the God of the Bible by the young-earth claims which are, frankly, ridiculous to most people who love science. It is a shame that people who love science, who would like to know the One who created the universe, reject, out of hand the Christian God...

...College athletes are held to a high standard, to act, perform and live like professionals. Why not pay them like professionals to? Sure you don’t have to pay them as much as professional athletes but there are a lot of reasons why student athletes should get paid rather than just the scholarship itself. When fans watch these student athletes play there is a major profit in money that the NCAA gets from the millions of people watching. Also, the students are the one playing the sport; so paying them would seem reasonable. To make it fair there are multiple ways that students could get paid and the NCAA could regulate the amount each student gets paid. Student athletes deserved to be paid in some way because the NCAA gets large amounts of money from fans watching it, it would cut down on players receiving improper benefits, and there are multiple ways that every student athlete could get paid fairly. The NCAA earns too much money from fans watching the sports that they need to pay athletes. March Madness, Bowl Games, and other events in college sports generate millions of dollars that go straight to the NCAA and its universities. According to Michael Wilbon, an ESPN expert, the NCAA has a contract with CBS and Turner Sports that pays them 10.8 billion dollars through 2024 for March Madness alone. That being the tournament in men’s college basketball in March with 64 teams competing on the biggest stage. Wilbon has always stated that he strongly regrets college athletes getting...
