- What is a super force?arrow_forwardThe CMB contains roughly 400 million photons per m3. The energy of each photon depends on its wavelength. Calculate the typical wavelength of a CMB photon. Hint: The CMB is blackbody radiation at a temperature of 2.73 K. According to Wien’s law, the peak wave length in nanometers is given by max=3106T . Calculate the wavelength at which the CMB is a maximum and, to make the units consistent, convert this wavelength from nanometers to meters.arrow_forwardwhy there are three generations of quarks and leptonsarrow_forward
- Where did the v1= -.15v2 come from?arrow_forwardThere is still some uncertainty in the Hubble constant. Current estimates range from about 19.9 km/s per million light years to 23 km/s per million light-years.

- Is the concept of Big Bang already a perfect scientific theory to explain the existence of theuniverse?arrow_forwardAt full energy, protons in the 2.00-km-diameter Fermilab synchrotron travel at nearly the speed of light, since their energy is about 1000 times their rest mass energy.

- Most of the stars we can see with the unaided eye in our night sky are hundreds or even thousands of lightyears away from Earth. (The very closest ones are only a few dozen lightyears away, but most are much further.) The vast majority of stars in our galaxy are many tens of thousands of lightyears away. IF intelligent life existed on planets orbiting some of these stars – and that’s a huge IF! – comment on the likelihood and practicality of (a) visiting, (b) communicating with, or (c) verifying the existence of those life forms. Describe how you might go about approaching EACH of these three tasks, or if you think they are even possible. (One or two sentences for each part would be appropriate.)arrow_forwardWhich particles are not present in the universe at t=300s after the big bang ? select one : a.
