Who Is The Big Bang: Fact Or Fiction?

Protons, neutrons and electrons are different from one another; they have their properties and/or characteristics.

Did you know that “it has been 50 years since two scientists found landmark evidence for the Big Bang theory?”(Kramer,2014) The Bang Theory aka BBT is the most popular explanation about the start of our universe that is widely accepted/acknowledged. The theory is that “the entire Universe is spreading apart, with distant galaxies speeding away from us in all directions. Run the clock backwards to 13.8 billion years ago, and everything in the Cosmos started out as a single point in space. In an instant, everything expanded outward from that location, forming the energy, atoms and eventually the stars and galaxies we see today.” (Cain, 2013) The Big Bang Theory is possibly right because of the evidence/research backed up by it such as exploration done by Edwin Hubble, data found by both Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, and background radiation that had been found that is believed to be created by the Big Bang.

After conducting an hour-long observation and data collection of The Big Bang Theory, I found three specific patterns. These were patterns of traditional gender roles, heterosexual privilege, and gender performance. The first pattern is the traditional breadwinner and housewife roles that are portrayed throughout the episodes. In the show women are seen occupying the household while the men occupy the workplace. These traditional roles reinforce gendered behaviors and interactions amongst the male and female character that reflect modern day society.

Nuclear moderator is a device used to slow down neutrons, the device is usually made from carbon in the form of graphite. The graphite will

Albert Einstein once said, "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible." Nature is not confusing chaos, but an orderly place that our minds seem ideally suited to understand. Why does the universe obey the laws of nature? How are humans able to discover these regularities in natural phenomena? How is it that our universe can sustain life? The idea that so many questions about the universe can be explained with mathematics has plagued many and led to the formation of many ideas and theories. One such theory, the fine-tuning, or teleological, argument is one of the most powerful arguments for the existence of God.

There have been many theories concerning what the universe looks like, how it became this way, and where it is going. The most popular theory that people hold today is that the universe began when all the matter ever present in the universe was contained in a tiny speck and that spec exploded. This is known as the Big Bang. This theory has developed a great deal since it was first conceptualized and continues to evolve today. Many different scientists have had a hand in this.

- The discovery of neutrons solved the mystery why atomic mass and atomic number are different, since neutrons added mass to the atom but don’t add any

Did the big bang really happen? Many people may disagree with me, but I still believe the Big Bang really happened. The Universe had to start somehow, didn’t it? Sure people always tell me that god created the Universe and that my beliefs are incorrect. Yet, I recall the Bible saying that God created the Heavens and Earth... not the Universe. So yes, I, Tatiana believe in the big bang and nobody can change that! But ... How did the Universe begin? What is the big bang? I guess you will just have to continue reading on.

The hypothesis that as the number of carbon atoms increased in

As early as 400 BCE atoms were believed to be the building blocks of all matter. The atom is made up of three subatomic particles protons (p+) , neutrons and electrons ( e-). Protons have a positive charge and can be found in the nucleus along with the neutrons who have no charge. Protons, along with electrons, tell you the atomic number of any given element. A positron is the opposite of an electron and contains the same mass and spin of an electron but they have a positive charge. The sum of the number of protons and neutrons equals the mass number. The mass number connects matter to it’s antimatter, they are equivalent in value while the charges are opposite. This attraction cause the corresponding matter particles to annihilate each other.

Life is not a gift. We are all here because of science, there is no "god". At least there is no god in the way that the Bible tells us. We believe these stories told to us, which are obviously not true. If there is some sort of omnipotent being that exist in some sort of incomprehensible way, it's definitely not the way we were told. Christians believe that if the Big Bang just happened, then god must've been the one to create it. Obviously that's not true, but then we are still left with the question of, what did cause the Big Bang? Just like questions about the afterlife, somethings don't need to be answered. Creationism is the idea that there was no evolution, and everything just appeared. There's many very obvious holes in that belief that

mass of this new nucleus is slightly less than the sum of its constituents, by an amount

The second evidence of the Big Bang is the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), which is the electromagnetic radiation left over from the time of recombination in Big Bang cosmology. It represents the first light that travelled in the universe, at the time when the first atoms were formed and the universe was transparent. The scientists Alpher and Hermann deduced that before the recombination epoch, everything was plasma and the light rays would be continually scattered by the particles they encountered (protons, neutrons, electrons), because many particles were charged.

There has been a lot of research done on the influence media can have on society, in particular the degrading images of women that are often seen in media. Since the second wave of the women’s rights movements these images were the object of scrutiny and an easy example of how women were viewed. In modern society where women have made many strides towards equality why are there still instances in popular media were women are negatively depicted? Have women come as far as they think? The popular sitcom The Big Bang Theory negatively depicts the female characters by reverting to a binary view of gender, in which the female characters are lacking, they can be beautiful or smart however they cannot be both.

Nuclear knowledge has existed for a long time. Nuclear Engineering U.S. Department of Energy relates, ―By 1900, the physicists knew the atom contains large quantities of energy‖ (par 11). Many others formed good theories, such as Ernest Rutherford and Einstein’s contribution with his equation E=mc^2. In 1934
