Primordial gravitational waves (GWs) are a theoretical stochastic background of gravitational radiation from the early universe which may be detected from their polarising effect on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) or by future generations of interferometers such as eLISA [1]. Able to propagate through the opaque primordial universe, they could allow us to determine the initial state of the universe as well as gaining a valuable insight into physical processes that occurred at this time. There

Scientific View of Creation and the Big Bang A common question among people is why are things the way they are? How was our world created? There are many different theories, from a variety of views. In this paper I will discuss the scientific view of the creation theory. The theory that I will be discussing is the Big Bang Theory, this is currently the theory of creation accepted by most scientists as the explanation of the beginning of the universe. The big bang theory suggests that the

Dark Matter: The Number One Mystery in Our Universe Dark matter is a mystery in astrophysics that could not be explained until the 1970s. Even now, with the understanding of space we have, cosmologists do not know a plethora of knowledge about dark matter. Dark matter is non-baryonic matter that cannot be detected in normal ways and was not discovered until the 1930s, but is one of the main components of our universe. Dark matter makes up about 27 percent of our entire universe (Dark Energy, Dark

Although I have experienced a lack of motivation, I am steadily gaining back what I lost, thanks to coffee. I am excited to say that I finally got that Imiloa Astronomy Center internship. I visited Imiloa three days ago to become acquainted with the setting and learn of the tasks I will do. Kapua and I will discuss my schedule next week. Also, I plan to meet with my mentor, Ronald Laub, to discuss the topics he gave me to research, an update of my progress, upcoming events involving astronomy, and

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

The universe is a complex place to live in. There are simple objects such as rocks that consist of only one material, but there are also complicated living organisms like humans living amongst the simplicity. But, how did this all come to be 13.8 billion years ago? Historians and scientists have given different perspectives as to how the universe came to existence. However, as time went on, a new idea has been proposed called big history. Big history “attempts to reconstruct the history of the whole

Albert Einstein, one of the most influential and intelligent physicists of all time insisted that the speed of light is constant. Yet, scientists have a theory and made predictions that the speed of light is a variable, which can be tested. According to Einstein, the speed of light (c) remains the same in any situation, which is 299,792,458 meters per second. This idea signifies that space and time could be different in different situations. According to the article, Theory that Challenges Einstein's

It was led for the most part on the premise of religious philosophy and rationality, with little thought of observational proof. This may have been sensible, given the famously temperamental character of cosmological perceptions, until decently as of late. The cosmologist, Sir Arthur Eddington, once said

Hidden behind its seemingly simple structure chondrite, meteorites of Allende event remain an unsolved contradiction for planetary scientists and physicists about their origin, but hint them that better understanding those rocks might be an all-important key for unwinding the unraveled puzzles going back to the creation of the universe. The fascination with chondrites mainly stems from their presumed ancient history. Empowered with a contemporary technological advancement of the twenty-first century

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
