New Universe

powers, but the universe also has many different varying origin stories on how everything started. People made these stories to give others an explanation of how things became what they are. Many cultures have different stories, but were made with the same purpose of explaining creation. Some stories are slightly different from others because before they were written down most origin stories were told orally. No origin story is permanently right or wrong, humans are discovering new things about the

theories when it comes to the creation of our solar system is the Big Bang Theory. This theory basically states that “12 to 14 billion years ago, the portion of the universe we can see today was only a few millimeters across. It has since expanded from this hot dense state into the vast and much cooler cosmos we currently inhabit” (“Universe”). From that ‘big bang’, we progressed to supercontinents, the most recent being Pangea 300 million years ago, and lastly, to the seven continents we see today,

of the position of the earth, sun, and planets. He will be remembered for his strong attitude and revolutionary ideas, which transformed the views of the properties of the universe. Copernicus lived in a time where the Ptolemaic system was the prime model used for the justification of the location of the earth within the universe. The system used the findings from the mathematical astronomy of Ptolemy and the physical cosmology

themselves and the world were visual arts, Ptolemy’s and Copernicus’ theories of the universe and the human body. There may be more, but these are the key reason that changed European's perspective of themselves and the

How Fix a Universe That is Nothing but Paradoxes Descartes’ claim of “I think, therefore I am”, is an attempt to establish a firm foundation for the understanding of the universe and explores the ideas of the self and what we can know to be real. However, there is one major flaw in this approach. That flaw is how we are to create this foundation when before it we had nothing and the paradoxes in the creating definitions of words. His goal is to better understand what he is in order to reestablish

mathematically rids the theory of any further anomalies. In this 11th dimension a string could acquire enough energy to expand infinitely into what scientists call a floating membrane. According to the theory, our universe exists on a floating membrane, along with infinite parallel universes on their own membranes. From this foundation, it was further found that (mathematically) gravity might “leak” into our membrane from another nearby membrane, accounting for its relatively weak force in comparison

Friday, January 27, 2017. This was the night I formulated the answer to the great question that humans have been contemplating since our existence, “Are We Significant in the Universe?” After visiting the planetarium show at the University of Central Arkansas, I felt like I had it all figured out. Seeing the vast universe, or just the small amount that we have actually discovered, puts things into perspective about just how small the Earth is and how far away everything outside of our solar system

How did the developments in scientific thought from Copernicus to Newton create a new conception of the universe and of humanity’s place within it? The Scientific Revolution was a time of scientific questioning in which tremendous discoveries were made about the Earth. It has been referred to as “the real origin both of the modern world and the modern mentality” (Mckay, 596) and caused the foremost change in the world-view. This revolution occurred for many reasons. Universities were established

is a brute fact and needs no explanation. Therefore, the universe is not contingent as the matter is never generated or perished, it is only the objects that are made of the matter that perish. Thus, contingent objects exist within the universe but the universe as a whole is essentially brute fact and non-contingent as it is all matter. Thus as Peter Cole suggests in Philosophy Of Religion(22), the cause of the universe is not about the metaphysical necessary being called

One theory that supports the existence of parallel universe is inflation. By the 1970’s, the Big Bang theory became a highly plausible explanation for the history of our universe. 2 In short, the Big Bang theory explains how a primordial fireball expanded and cooled, and in the first few minutes synthesized helium and other light elements became transparent after 400 000 years releasing the cosmic microwave background radiation, and slowly got clumpier due to gravitational clustering, producing galaxies
