By 2017, I will have graduated from graduate school with a Ph.D. in cosmology and be beginning my postdoctoral study at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This is when I will start doing research to evolve, not only the cosmological and astrophysical fields, but all STEM fields. Every STEM field is connected. By doing research into the start of the cosmos, physics laws can be refined, more information about chemicals that are the building blocks to life for biologists will be further understood, et cetera. But, my research will be, hopefully, more specific than that.
To begin with, my research will, hopefully, evolve the cosmological and astrophysical fields, in which I plan on working. My dream is to fully understand what dark energy is and how it really works. Currently, this is a major concept that many cosmologists and astrophysicists are trying to understand. If I am able to fully understand fields dark energy, then there would be new astrophysics fields opening about the different areas of dark energy, both experimental and theoretical. Furthermore, there would be more understanding of the beginning of the universe and how it is currently working. Finally, it could aid theorists in creating ideas for how the universe might end. Overall, after graduation my research will evolve the cosmological and astrophysical fields.

Many scientists currently believe that dark energy is a new part of the law of gravity. So, by fully understanding dark energy, gravity could be modified to become more exact. Moreover, understanding how dark energy works could help further understand many of the particles and their interactions, which could revolutionize particle physics and everything occurring at CERN. In general, the physics fields will be evolved by my work with dark
Within William Rowe’s Chapter two of “The Cosmological Argument”, Rowe reconstructs Samuel Clark's Cosmological Argument by making explicit the way in which the Principle of Sufficient Reason, or PSR, operates in the argument as well as providing contradictions of two important criticisms from Rowe’s argument.
In the article The Cosmic Perspective by Neil deGrasse Tyson he examines a range of topics from human life coming from Mars to how our perspective of the universe relates to religion. In the year 2000, a new space show opened at the Hayden Planetarium called Passport to the Universe, which compared the size of people Milky Way and beyond. While a show like this might make someone feel minuscule and insignificant, Tyson says that seeing the size of the universe actually makes him feel more alive not less and gives him a sense of grandeur. I agree with his idea that looking at us as a people in comparison can actually give you a sense of grandeur. However, when I compare myself to the vastness of space, it puts events on Earth in perspective while showing how influential we can be as a people even if we are small.
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.
As young child we are all asked what we would like to be when we grow up. Usually the answer is a firefighter, a policeman, or nurse. When I was a child I changed my mind multiple times. At first I wanted to be Minnie Mouse, then a dancer. Then, about two years ago, I wanted to be a crime scene investigator. I had all my plans worked out. I was going to attend the University of Memphis and major in criminal justice. However, one day about a year ago, my mind totally changed. I decided to go in the complete opposite direction. I decided that I wanted to be a cosmetologist.
Isha Judd once said, “Say yes to changes, to surprises, and to unexpected events; you will start to appreciate the perfection within everything.” In Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven, this quote seems to sum up Libby and Jack’s life after everything they’ve gone through. Libby, an overweight girl, only wanted to get through the torments of highschool, while Jack, a popular boy with a secret disease called prosopagnosia, or face blindness, wanted to keep up his facade; they never thought that, through a slight altercation, they would end up having anything to do with each other, and especially nothing more. These intriguing characters, an unpredictable plot, tied together with a lasting theme all make this the best book you would ever read.
able to question the idea. It is also debatable as to whether or not a
The Big Bang Theory is one of the most important, and most discussed topics in cosmology today. As such, it encompasses several smaller components that attempt to explain what happened in the moments after creation, and how the universe we know today came from such a fiery, chaotic universe in the wake of the Big Bang. One major component of the Big Bang theory is nucleosynthesis. We know that several stellar phenomena (including stellar fusion and various types of super novae) are responsible for the formation of all heavy elements up through Plutonium, however, after the advent of the Big Bang theory, we needed a way to explain what types of matter were created to form the earliest stars.!
For the purposes of this debate, I take the sign of a poor argument to be that the negation of the premises are more plausible than their affirmations. With that in mind, kohai must demonstrate that the following premises are probably false:
In 5 years time: I aim to have landed a laboratory and field technician role in a reputable company such as the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Or be working in a role such as a field scientist for a company such as Blue Ventures that will allow me to work along side and guide volunteers, while allowing me to educate them on the importance of marine ecosystems. I also aim to have published a paper based on the work I am doing at that particular time. My “plan B” is to be working as a high school science teacher educating generations about the importance of science in our lives, especially that of marine and wildlife biology and the impact that their decline can play in our
The existence of God and whether or not God intervenes is a highly debated subject. Three worldviews on the epistemology of God that are considered to have logical and valid arguments are: theism, deism, and agnosticism. Theism and deism both involve a belief that God exists, however theists will argue that God is personal or intervenes in our lives whereas deists would disagree. Agnostics hold the view that we cannot be sure that God exists. Of these, theism may be the most probable worldview.
First off, I want to graduate from college and do it well. I want to be able to do things on the weekends and not worry about having to make things up or anything like that. I am hoping for a scholarship in football, in my opinion that would be a great start for me in college. Then after college maybe pursue that as a career. If that doesn't work out for me then I want to look into athletic training or physical therapy. If those things don't interest me or I don't get into it I am then looking into law. That will take much more time and patience, but it's gonna be the rest of my life.
... myself to be an innovative and novel contributor to this field after a few years completing my masters followed by doctorial.
Black holes have been one of the most difficult challenges for astronomers and scientist for many years. I think with new technology that astronomers will be able to gather more information that can offer more insight into the world of black holes. There are many unanswered questions that could possibly lead to a better understanding of how Earth was created. It could also lead to more information on different galaxies and any similarities they may have to our own. The universe is so vast and we may never find the answers to some questions, but it is a worthy task to try and find out all we can about our existence.
In conclusion the many scientist that are working to prove the Big Bang are hopefully making a lot of progress in their research and later in life i would like to see it proved so we can at least have some peace of mind. fifteen billion years ago all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point an explosion known as the big bang occurred all matter and energy moved away at a very fast rate. This is what i believe and i hope you do to.
The big bang theory is an attempt to explain how the world began. The big bang theory begins with what is called a “singularity.” This term is used to describe an area in space which defies all the known laws of physics. Singularities are thought to exist at the core of black holes. Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that matter is pressed together into an infinite amount of pressure. The dense hot mass of the singularity slowly expanded. This process is called inflation. As the singularity expanded the universe went from dense and hot to cool and expansive. Inflation is still continuing on today which means that the universe is continually expanding.
