The popular comedy, sitcom, TV series known as the “The Big Bang Theory,” has a specifically written opening song for the show. This catchy and well known hit, consists of various, plausible, key facts describing the creation, formation and history of the universe. Is this theme song a reputable and reliable scientific source or is it just for a humorous, iconic and catchy appeal? The opening line of the song is a plausible and reliable scientific statement. “Our whole universe was in a hot dense state then nearly fourteen million years ago expansion started, wait! The Earth began to cool.” There is scientific evidence and a plausible theory that supports this, commonly known as the Big Bang Theory. Originally introduced in 1927, it is widely …show more content…
This statement is backed up by the concept is backed up by red and blue shift. From electromagnetic radiation and, where the object sits on the spectrum to the corresponding wave lengths and colours, scientist can tell where objects are moving and how fast. This is also where the Doppler effect comes into play, where the effect produced by a moving source of waves in relation to the position of the observer. For example, if the light given off by the object is red, it means the waves are low frequency, and therefore stretched out, the object is moving away. There are numerous theories relating to the origins of the universe, such as the steady state. The steady state theory is that matter is continuously created as the universe expands, the overall density of the universe remains in the same and the universe has existed forever. Another theory is creationism, relating to a supreme being creating the universe. Evidence which supports this consists of religious scriptures, although this theory is not as popular as the Big Bang. Commonly throughout the song “Set in motion by the big bang,” or “It all started with a big bang” …show more content…
Collapsing ever inward, we won’t be here, it won’t be heard. Our best and brightest figure that it’ll make an even bigger bang! It all started with a Big Bang.” The first words as followed, “It’s expanding ever outward,” we already know is a reputable statement, via the Doppler and Red and Blue shift explained earlier. “But one day it will pause and start to go the other way”. The next line of the song “Collapsing ever inward, we won’t be here, it won’t be heard,” although there are various theories and speculations on how the universe will end, though it is obvious the theme song supports the Big Crunch Theory. It is hypothesised that the universe will continue expanding until it reaches its limits and will crash into its self, compressed into a singular point, essentially a reverse of the Big Bang. “Our best and brightest figure that it’ll make and even bigger bang,” describes how the event will take place, although this maybe reliable or what could possibly happen, it is all speculations and therefore not a reliable or reputable source. Although the Big Crunch is a popular conclusion to the end the universe, it is not the most supported. The most popular, supported conclusion by scientist is known as the Big Chill. Theorized, that eventually the expansion of the universe will draw the stars and planets so far away that the stars will burn until they
The word sitcom is short for Situation Comedy. A good sitcom story idea places the star (or supporting character) into a situation in need of a resolution, which will cause the character to respond in unexpected, exaggerated, and hugely sidesplitting ways (Rannow, pg. 13). A comedy now days are different from how they were in the 1960's and 1970's though. Today directors use sexual content and foul language to make people laugh and do not usually have a purpose or point to get across to the audience with each show. In earlier comedy, such as The Brady Bunch, Director Jack Arnold tried have a lesson learned in each episode while still maintaining a sense of humor, minus the foul language and sexual content. Although the show is not extremely funny to most people it is still a classic show that deserves to be remembered.
That 70’s show is about Eric Forman and his teenage friends and also is family members that live in Point Place Wisconsin through the time period of 1976-1979. The biggest surprise about the series is that despite it being only a three year time frame it managed to run for eight seasons that was seen on Fox from 1998 to 2006 which became the networks second longest running live action sitcom only trailing the show married with children. Despite the fact that the show wasn’t really based in the 70’s the production of the show did a good job to make it seem like they lived in the 70’s with cars, music etc… It’s kind of weird that the show was named “that 70’s show” when it didn’t officially take place during the 70’s.
The Big Bang theory is a theory that states that the universe originated as a single mass, which subsequently exploded. The entire universe was once all in a hot and dense ball, but about 20 million years ago, it exploded. This explosion hurled material all over the place and all mater and space was created at that point in time. The gas that was hurled out cooled and became our stellar system. A red shift is a shift towards longer wavelengths of celestial objects. An example of this is the "Doppler shift." Doppler shift is what makes a car sound lower-pitched as it moves further away. As it turns out, a special version of this everyday life effect applies to light as well. If an astronomical object is moving away from the Earth, its light will be shifted to longer (red) wavelengths. This is significant because this theory indicates the speed of recession of galaxies and the distances between galaxies.
All we know is that we are going into "darkness." The sound of the language

Different Strokes a comedy sitcom, first aired in 1978, and lasted until 1986. This sitcom consisted of a widowed Manhattan millionaire, Phillip Drummond , who adopted two orphaned brothers. Arnold who was 8 years old and Willis who was 12. The boys' mother was Drummonds housekeeper who became very ill, so Drummond made a promise to her that he would take care of her two sons after she passed away. Drummond treated the two boys like his own. He also lived with his daughter, Kimberly, who was 13 years old, and his current housekeeper. This sitcom showed typical life lessons in growing up, and social problems that were occurring during that time. Some of the aspects of this show were both positive and negative.

In support of his thesis that the universe spawned from nothing, Krauss points towards the big bang theory. The original theory was that everything was static, but Edwin Hubble proved this invalid, that the universe was actually expanding. Using advances in telescopic technology and previous knowledge of the light from stars, he correctly made this assertion. Using the very same scrutiny, Hubble determined that our Milky Way galaxy was not the only one in the universe. Krauss uses this theory to demonstrate that an expanding universe mean...

This quote supports the Big Bang theory in many ways. First, the big bang theory is the theory that the universe expanded and started to cool after a huge explosion that made planets and solar systems. When it’s said that every atom in our body was once a part of a star it literally means that the first species here, bacteria, came from the earth which came from a star and we evolved from that. Which brings me to my next point.
The Big Bang is a theory that the universe was created in a very large
The American version of The Office debuted in 2005 with the start of its six-episode first season. After the airing of the “Pilot” episode, a reviewer from the Deseret Morning News commented, “Maybe […] after The Office dies a quick death on NBC, the network will decide that trying to Americanize British TV comedies isn’t such a great idea” (quoted in Pilot (The Office)). Despite its original negative reception, The Office went on to run nine successful seasons and has become a television favorite of individuals across America. The show focuses on the misadventures of the lost souls employed at Dunder-Mifflin Scranton, a branch of a paper-selling company located in Pennsylvania. Under the management of clueless Michael Scott, characters such as Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, and Pam Beesly must hold their jobs in the corporate world while facing company failures, romantic encounters, and lost dreams. Despite their seemingly superficial appearance, the characters of The Office reflect complex ideas about morals, existence, and free will through their comical fallacies. The popular television show The Office demonstrates existential ideas such as Sartre’s “bad faith,” Kierkegaard’s stages of life, and the theater of the absurd.
Music and the meaning of lyrics as well as the ongoing debates about the hidden intent of the lyrics is intriguing. As a child, we sang around the campfire, “Puff the Magic Dragon,” innocent enough as it is a song of a magical dragon who was sad when his little friend grew up. I never would have realized there were debates over the actual underlying intent of the lyrics. In my research I found, "in the 1960s “Puff the Magic Dragon” (1963) was widely associated with marijuana and its effects. Yet the lyricist, Leonard Lipton, claimed that the song was about loss of childhood
The big bang theory has evidence to support it. An example of this evidence is the cosmic microwave background. The cosmic microwave background was discovered in 1964. The cosmic microwave background is radiation left over from the beginning of the universe or the big bang. This background is important because the radiation is the type of radiation that was seen at the beg...
