Introduction God is the source of much doubt and controversy, of peace and of war. At this point in our human existence what was once certain and unquestionable has become the most questioned topic. The faithful, believing people have become unsure. I guess the question is either God exists or He doesn't. There really is no middle territory, and any attempt to remain neutral in relation to God's existence is automatically putting you in the category of unbelief. The age old question is far from

Nothing – A mere seven characters long word but with such significance in our lives, which cannot be ignored. It has such diverse number of uses in our lives which we cannot even imagine. Everything, from us to the whole universe, started with this one word. It is the beginning of everything. As we can say, the step zero of all the processes is always ‘Nothing’. If something is already there then it cannot re-originate. Nothing existed before the Big Bang happened, which led to the creation of

Big Bang Theory - The Premise The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment. According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into

Case Study 3 NIBCO’s Big Bang: An SAP Implementation 1. Why did NIBCO decide to purchase an ERP system? Because the firm’s recent major investment in information technology has been used for five years, it is too old. And the legacy systems and reporting tools could not talk to each other well. In order to deal with the “information poor” and meet the goal of becoming more global, NIBCO consulted Boston Consulting Group (BGG) for future information system plan. After recognizing and analyzing

filled with a plasma that was opaque to photons. The surface of last scattering is the collection of points in space at the exact distance that photons from the time of photon decoupling just reach us today. These are the photons we detect today as cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). However, with future technology, it may be possible to observe the still older relic neutrino background, or even more distant events via gravitational waves (which also should move at the speed of light). Sometimes

Around 13.8 billion years ago, the Big Bang happened, creating “space, time, matter and energy” (Christian, 19) incredibly quickly. The universe was gazillions of degrees hot. Under extreme heat and temperature, matter and energy were interchangeable, so at the very beginning, after the Big Bang happened, the universe was a sort of a blur of energy and matter. As the universe was expanding, it cooled down, and as the universe was cooling, the “soup” containing only energy and matter differentiated
