    The Standard Model is a theory that hypothesises what happened during the first instances of the universe after the big bang and how all of the matter in the universe was formed. It is currently a complete theory of what we observe in nature aside from incorporating gravity. "In the course of the past few decades, the Standard Model has passed critical tests derived from experiment, but it does not address some profound questions about the nature of the Universe," (AFP, 2015) This quote was taken

    Spacetime. Gravitational singularities. Black hole radiation. Extraterrestrial intelligence. The origin of our universe. All of these areas of research belong to cosmology, a field pioneered by the renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. Today we pay tribute to his life, his achievements, and the lasting impact he has had on the world. Born on January 8th, 1942, a date which happened to coincide with the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death, Hawking was one of the most intelligent, prestigious

    The Big Bang For decades the Big Bang theory has been the leading theory on the beginning of our universe. Alternate theories come and go, but mainly go. As new data and research are continually eliminating alternatives to the standard model of cosmology, the Big Bang just keeps getting stronger. Before discussing the alternate theories to the Big Bang theory, the basics of the early universe should first be understood. The main points opposing the theory are based around a few aspects that will

    I Have A Theory The study of the universe as a whole is Cosmology. Although easy to label, it is not easy to explain. The foundation of modern cosmology can be described as an arrangement of observations, hypotheses, theories using science, technology, mathematics, physics, and analytics (to name a few) to strive for answers about our beginning, present, and future. Through time, many types of people have created stories, myths, and ideas of how we came to be. Until the nineteenth and twentieth

    No matter when we consider the beginning of time, there will always be the question of origin. "And before then- what?" The origin of the universe remains a mystery, but extrapolation from current working models can be used to speculate about the universe 's early development. The leading theory on the early development of the universe is the Big Bang theory, which puts forth the idea that the universe expanded from a singularity, or a single point.[1] The Big Bang laid the seeds that lead to the

    I. Introduction This is one of the biggest questions in physics and everyday life. How did the universe begin? How did everything that we see, smell, feel, or hear come into existence? If there are answers to these questions then more questions arise such as: When did it begin? Where did it begin? Why did it begin? Every person that walked the Earth and lived their small, miniscule lives have looked to the oceans, skies, stars, and planets, and wondered what their purpose and plan was in the grand

    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

    A scientific method is a method of investigation where a problem is first identified and observations, experiments or other relevant data/findings are then used to construct or test hypotheses that serve to solve it (https://www.collinsdictionary.com). Originally the scientific method was actually called the experimental method and the method of science. When the word scientific was come up with in the 19th century, the most widespread term applied to the method became known as the scientific method
