Astronomers believed the Universe was created about 14 billion years ago. During that time, the entire Universe was inside a bubble that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead, and it was insanely hot and dense. Out of nowhere this little bubble started expanding. This expansion created what we know as the Universe. In such little time the Universe went from the size of an atom to the ginormous galaxy we have that is continuously growing. According to the Big Bang Theory the universe appeared as a singularity. Singularities are thought to exist at the core of black holes. These zones of infinite density are called "singularities." Our universe is thought to have begun extremely small, infinitely hot, and infinitely dense. As time …show more content…
This observation means that it has taken every galaxy the same amount of time to move from a starting position to its current position. This observation is called "Hubble's Law," named after Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) who discovered this in 1929. Edwin Hubble’s evidence supports the expansion of the universe and suggests that the universe was once compacted. Third, if the universe was insanely hot as the Big Bang suggests, scientists should be able to find some of this heat left over. In 1965, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered a 2.725 degree Kelvin Cosmic Microwave Background radiation which infuses the observable universe. This is thought to be the remnant that scientists were looking for. Finally, the discovery of great amounts of Helium and Hydrogen lead to support the Big Bang Theory. (LaRocco) So now that we have the basics of the Big Bang Theory, what happened after the initial expansion? In the fractions of the first second after creation what was once a vacuum began to expand into the universe. Immediately after the Big Bang the universe was tremendously hot as a result of both matter and antimatter moving apart in all directions. (For every type of matter particle, there also exists a corresponding antimatter particle. Antimatter particles look and behave just like their corresponding matter particles, except they have opposite charges.) As it began to cool there was about an equal abundance of matter and antimatter. As these two materials are
Science fiction has brought many things to the human race. Imagination, scientific breakthroughs, and perhaps one of the most shocking scientific theories, the theory of multiple, or parallel, universes. According to science the universe came into being around 13.7 billion years ago after a catastrophic event called The Big Bang occurred, however throughout many years scientists have wondered whether our universe was the only one created.
We are not quite sure exactly how it happened or even how long it took to happen. According to www. Space.com it underwent an incredible growth spurt and doubled in size at least 90 times. This marks the beginning of an extraordinary set of circumstances that created a perfect storm. It was a chaotic set of circumstances the temperature cooled than heated then combined and light appeared and was eventually followed by complete darkness. This light is detectable today and can be researched which will hopefully lead to answers that we have been wanting to answer for many years. Nearly 400 million years after our universe made its appearance in this dramatic and chaotic performance it began to come out of its dark ages. This phase of our universe lasted for a very long time and during this time our very first stars and galaxies appeared. The birth of our Solar System happened approximately after our universe turned 4.6 billion years old. It is believed to have been formed out of a “giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the nebula.” In 1960 dark matter was discovered and remain one of the biggest unanswered questions today. Earth made its entrance approximately 4.54 billion years ago. At its beginning it wouldn’t have been able to be inhabited by humans. Volcanic activity was the norm and at one point there was a collision with another body that is thought
It was wound up and is constantly winding down ultimately to or demise. The second law of thermodynamics is before us in a form of a big question. Who wound up the universe? The only plausible answer is God.

Just because there’s no solid answer, other than philosophical and some scientific explanation, it does not mean that one should automatically assume that nothing created the universe and the universe doesn’t have a purpose; there’s further evidence of other universes and how our universe came to be, which I’ll explain more in detail as this paper lengthens. The no boundary theory believes that our universe is like a vacuum and that it came from nothing. When things in space fall into a black hole, I don’t believe they just disappear. I personally believe that they get sucked into another universe and the results end up
The world that we now know started out as a tiny hot form of energy that exploded, and eventually expanded. Within seconds of the explosion, it was as large as the milky-way, and it did not stop there. The cooling of the cosmos created matter. This matter formed subatomic particles, which were the first things that ever existed. Anti-matter also came about, and when the subatomic particles and anti-matter collided they destroyed each other, creating small explosions. Due to the fact that there was more matter than anti matter after the explosion, the residue that remained is what formed our
The Universe was this tiny super atom, and between 12 and 20 million years ago it exploded, creating as we know it today, the Big bang. It sent matter in every which way, and that was just the beginning of the Universe. As it was forming, nearly all of the earth was made up of this huge cloud of hydrogen. Some of the hydrogen mixed with helium and developed into stars.
The three separate and specific pieces of scientific evidence that support the Big Bang theory are the great quantity of elements that was discovered, such as hydrogen, helium and other elements which exactly what scientist would expect to find if the Universe was once a huge star. Secondly, the discoveries of galaxies and how they are moving away from earth. Scientific theories predicted that after the Big Bang, there were large amounts of radiation released, and that this radiation moved away from earth and that the wavelength of this radiation shifted from visible light to cosmic microwave background radiation. Finally, the discovery of how the galaxies were formatted in the universe, another scientific theory states that after the Big Bang
Throughout the very first moments to have existed in the universe, was the big bang. Before this the universe was extremely hot and dense. As the universe began to cool, circumstances changed just as the building blocks of matter being the quarks and electrons of which we are all made, began to arise. Within a few millionths of a second later,
Albert Einstein concluded that the universe must either be expanding or contrasting after he could not find balance in the equation of his Theory of Relativity to match a static universe. Therefore, he proposed the Cosmological Constant.
This article talks about one of the most famous concepts of science, The Big Bang Theory. The article talks about how it is theorized that before the “Bang,” the universe was filled with nothing more than loose particles and radiation. After about a trillionth, of a trillionth of a second, the universe rapidly expanded and all the energy that would ever be created, was created. According to the article, The Big Bang happened when one single primordial atom imploded on itself, and expanded. However, no one knows exactly what spawned this universe; making it one of the most controversial topics in the scientific world.
Earth; we occasionally perceive our planet to be the center of the universe. However, our planet is just one in millions and billions of other planets and galaxies. We are one grain of sand on the beach of space. Scientists say that everything we know today to be true, started out approximately 13.7 billion years ago as a Big Bang. Everything there is today, all matter, space, time, and energy were condensed into an incredibly small point the size of an atom. It was infinitely hot and infinitely dense; it’s called the Singularity. Eventually, the Singularity started expanding rapidly. During this expansion, the first subatomic particles were created(neutrons, electrons, and protons). In time, the first stars and galaxies were created. This
Around 14 billion years ago, a giant nebula concentrated into a single tiny point, then proceeded to enlarge rapidly in a hot explosion and continues to expand. This explosion is said to have created the Universe, and is called the “big bang”. This same process happens when a star is being created. A large cloud of dust and gas, called a
Fourteen billion years ago, there was nothing. Suddenly matter began expanding. As the point that contained all the matter and energy in the Universe expanded, it began cooling off. This theory is called the Big Bang Theory.
In the beginning, the universe was a black egg where heaven and earth were mixed together, and in this egg was contained Pangu. He felt suffocated, so he cracked the egg with a broadax, and the light, clear part of the egg floated up to form Heaven while the cold, heavy part stayed down and formed Earth. Pangu stood in the middle, and he and the egg's two parts grew and grew until he was nine million li in height.
