...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...

...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...

...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...

...Big bang theory a. Explain how scientific discoveries have changed our understanding of that scientific concept or phenomenon over time. b. Include three specific, sequential examples that support your explanation of how your chosen concept has changed over time based on new knowledge and understanding. 1950-1965 Big Bang theory could explain both the formation and the observed abundances of hydrogen and helium, whereas the Steady State could explain how they were formed, but not why they should have the observed abundances. However, the observational evidence began to support the idea that the universe evolved from a hot dense state. In addition, the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965 was considered the death knell of the Steady State, although this prediction was only qualitative, and failed to predict the exact temperature of the CMB. (The key big bang prediction is the black-body spectrum of the CMB, which was not measured with high accuracy until COBE in 1990). After some reformulation, the Big Bang has been regarded as the best theory of the origin and evolution of the cosmos. 1970-1980 most cosmologists accepted the Big Bang, but several puzzles remained, including the non-discovery of anisotropies in the CMB, and occasional observations hinting at deviations from a black-body spectrum; thus the theory was not very strongly confirmed. 1990-present time This showed that earlier claims of spectral deviations were incorrect, and...

She wants to stand in the middle of the road and have a gigantic truck crush her 18 year old body into tiny fragments...so tiny that no one will ever be able to recognize her. No, she is not depressed. She is happy. Happy to be here. Happy to have friends she loves more than anything in this world. Happy to have a boyfriend who makes her feel safe and oh-so-secure. But there are times she breaks down into a big pile of nothingness. She looks into the mirror, stares long and hard and she sees it.

...9-201-129 REV: OCTOBER 23, 2001 Harvard Management Company (2001) In February 2001, Jack Meyer gazed out of his fifteenth floor office window at a cold Boston Harbor and reflected on the set of issues facing Harvard Management Company (HMC). The HMC Board would soon be reviewing the Policy Portfolio – the long-term asset mix that was designed to balance Harvard’s aversion to risk against its needs for long-term endowment returns. The Policy Portfolio was the cornerstone of endowment management at Harvard, the “neutral” portfolio mix that anchored the central tendency of actual asset allocations over time, as well as the benchmark against which actual performance was measured and incentive compensation was calculated. The Board was also interested in a variety of related issues, including the complexity of the investment strategies employed, the effectiveness of their risk controls, and the design and administration of their compensation systems. The Role of the Endowment Harvard University had been founded in 1636, and from the beginning its endowment played an important role in the financial structure of the institution. As of June 2000, the endowment managed by HMC totaled approximately $18.2 billion. Each of the various schools within the University owned “units” in the endowment, much like an individual would own shares in a mutual fund. Spending from the endowment was distributed pro-rata to all schools on the basis of the units each school owned. The annual spending from...

...controversies surrounding the days of creation and the age of the Earth.” As stated previously many people have thoughts and are curious as to how the Earth itself came into existence. When it comes to the scientific community there are two major theories the old earth view and the young earth view. The two conflicting points of view vary in the idea of how long the it took to create the earth and how old the Earth is. Many creationist take the side of believing that the world was created in six twenty-four hours days and that the Earth itself is no more than 6,000 years old. Whereas those who believe in the old earth theories believe that the earth was formed over a longer period of time. There are two concepts of how these happened the Big bang theory and the six day creation theory. Each of these relates back to the age of the earth. Young - Earth View In the Bible it clearly stated in Genesis 1 -5 how the earth was made and the order that God created things and as the Bible states He says that things were good. The scripture itself speaks of only six literal days used to create the earth. As stated by Terry Mortenson, MDiv, PhD (2011) the thoughts of a young earth creationist are as follows “Young-earth...
