Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 25EAP
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers,, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
25. Patterns in the cosmic microwave back-ground tell us about conditions in the early universe that ultimately led to galaxy formation.

- Why are so many astronomical objects in the universe flat today? (Like the solar system, Saturn's ring, black hole accretion discs) Let's focus on our galaxy. Originally, the galaxy was a huge spherical cloud of gas and dust, much larger than it is today, and rotating much more slowly. Explain using gravity and the conservation of angular momentum, why the galaxy today is a flat disc that rotates faster.arrow_forwardPart 1 Copy and answer the ff. questions in continuation of your activity 4 on your booklet 3. 1.

Therefore, the amount of energy in the universe is constant. In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts: What do you think would happen if energy were not conserved? Think of (and share) two scenarios in which our lives would be drastically altered if this law of conservation was not in place. At least one of your scenarios should be at the molecular level. Would the implications be positive? Negative? Explain.arrow_forward1) We believe that the big bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago.

(a) Current estimates range from about 19.9 km/s per million light-years to 23 km/s per million light-years. Assume that the Hubble constant has been constant since the Big Bang. What is the possible range in the ages of the universe? Use the equation in the text, T0=1H , and make sure you use consistent units. (b) Twenty years ago, estimates for the Hubble constant ranged from 50 to 100 km/s per Mps. What are the possible ages for the universe from those values? Can you rule out some of these possibilities on the basis of other evidence?arrow_forward
