My Theory of the Universe
You are about to be transported to a very strange world, read on if you dare! The planet you are on is a giant disco ball, rotating clockwise. (Earth)
This disco ball is in a place that has two stories. It is on the first story ceiling, but the ceiling is made of glass so the disco ball can be seen from both floors. The walls of the room are black. There is a big yellow spotlight in one corner of the room that slowly moves up and down. (Sun) There is another spotlight in the opposite corner, but this one is white and has a rotating filter to block some of the light out. (Moon) This filter starts at one end of the light, works its way across, and then works its way back. (Phases of the
Moon) There are many spots on the walls of the room that are just reflections off of the disco ball. (Stars) These spots seem to form different patterns on the walls and move along with the disco ball, but not always at the same rate.
(Constellations) There are two very shy people in the room that sometimes leave the room. When they are in the room they stand by the walls and always wink for some reason, so all we can see of them is one of their eyes. (Mercury & Venus)
Then there are three very weird people in the room that are always in the middle of the room doing the Waltz. They do this some how by themselves and they to are always winking. They are sometimes on the first floor and sometimes on the second floor. (Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) There is also one guy dressed in a white polyester leisure suit, gold chains, and rings dancing to "Stayin' Alive."
(comet) It seems as though everyone in the universe hears their own music. He is only in the room for a little bit; he makes his way across the room then leaves, he must get tired really quick! Sometimes when he is dancing or even when you can not see him dancing, (must have forgot his gold chains) somehow he loses a ring because we can see it fly across the sky. (shooting star) Then there are two people, one directly below the ball and one directly above the ball when they are there. They both dress in silver lamay (shiny stuff) that makes all different colors that we can see. (Northern/Southern Lights)
Occasionally some stupid guy stands in front of one of the spotlights and
Comparison of the Creation of the Universe and Origin of Man and New Species The Big Bang is a theory that the universe was created in a very large explosion involving three gases. My first point is to question where were these three gases? They didn’t just come out of no where. They had to have a point of origin otherwise it is impossible for this theory to be true. Another theory linked to the big bang is the theory of Edwin Hubble, which says that the universe is expanding, the red shift.
Scientist say in the universe the big bang theory is happening this very day and the universe is expanding is so many directions and in high speeds and the universe is expanding every day, every second, every hour, minute, second and every millisecond. In this next article I got most my info on http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~yukimoon/BigBang The galaxies that are not inside of us are really moving away and the ones that are farther away are moving away the fastest and we don't know why.That also means
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
speak through a computer, in my mind, I am free.” –Hawking. Hawking’s research and theories about the universe have been met with widespread appreciation as well as disagreement and anger. This is often due to Hawking’s dismissal of god and philosophy when it comes to the creation of the universe. During a conference on cosmology with Hawking, several scientists, and Pope John Paul, the Pope declared that it was okay to study the progression and development of the universe after it began, but the beginning
around ideas and theories as to how the universe will end, or if will even end at all. Several scenarios are up in the air; these scenarios are predicting the possible fate of our universe. A few scenarios among many are The Big Crunch, Big Rip and Big Freeze. No one knows for sure what will happen to the universe, at this point in time we question if we have enough evidence for any of these scenarios to become a solid thought. Another question thrown around is, will the universe ever end? The first
Theory of The Big Bang The big bang theory is known as the most popular theory of how our universe came to be. It isn’t the only theory ever proposed but it is the most recognized because it seems to make the most sense. It takes into consideration other theories that help explain different aspects of the overall theory. It doesn’t just explain how the universe came into existence, it also offers an explanation of everything inside of it. The theory really starts by saying there was nothing and then
explain the most complex theories and ideologies that surround humankind in a simple way, so that everyone can learn the basic understandings of these complex ideas. Within his book, he discusses the most complex ideas and philosophies that have been a center point of philosophy and physics since the beginning of time, how they came to be, how they have evolved and changed, and the contributors to these theories and ideas. These intricate ideas are mainly made up of theories revolved around physics
is but a speck in a vast and ever expanding universe. Since the dawn of time humans have pondered why are we here, and who are we? During ancient times religion was the stiff spine that bound the book together, but as we have evolved so has our reliance on religion from what it once was. The earliest interpretation of our world was an archaic concept that biblical writers in Israel thought that the earth was flat and at the center of the universe. Theories like these were the mindset of the day that
today. Scientist, teachers, professors, and many others are debating where the world and its habitats originally came from. This is the debate of Intelligent Design (ID) and Evolution. The main debating question of many scholars being, "Is the universe self-contained or does it require something beyond itself to explain its existence and internal function?". Intelligent Design is the idea that living creatures on Earth are so complex that, they could not possibly have been created through the
It has been a while since I have taken a look at William Paley’s theory and Darwin’s theory. However, in Paideia freshmen year we spent a lot of time on these two theorists, which helped me a lot in this reading because I remembered a little bit about Paley’s ideas and theories on natural theology. What do you find important? What I found important in this reading is the basis of Paley’s idea, the watchmaker. Paley believes that design implies that there is a designer. He uses the analogy of a
reality. Philosopher and psychologist William James, it is often claimed, first defined the science (fiction) multiverse in 1895 when he said, “Visible nature is all plasticity and indifference, a multiverse, as one might call it, and not a universe” (10). My presentation makes two contributions to his claim, and, for that matter, all later uses of the multiverse in science and science fiction by contending that the multiverse is a much older Sophistic device. I call this the “rhetorical metaverse
been recorded there has been interest in how the universe came to be. The science community seems to agree that the big bang was what created the universe, but there are many conflicting arguments surrounding what existed before the big bang and what initiated it. While there are nearly infinite responses to this question, there are only two paths one can take when answering it; either something existed prior to the big bang or the entire universe came from nothing. Lawrence M. Krauss, acclaimed
The strength of the Big Bang theory lies in the evidence for it, not the mechanism used to explain it. Actually, the theory has been revised a great deal since its first proposition and is probably not exactly as you think it is. I'll explain it in the order of historical development. My apologies if this is a bit technical - don't worry if you don't understand it all. The theory was first proposed in the 1930s, based on Edwin Hubble's discovery that distant galaxies are receding. Hubble measured
The creation of the universe is a topic that people have a vast number of opinions on. From what I can gather from the article, Stephen Hawking, believes that the creation of the universe has nothing to do with a supernatural being or anything to do with divination. He believes that human beings create that fantasy to fulfill their own beliefs on the creation of our universe. Not only does Hawking believe God does not play a role in the creation of the universe but Mr. Ferris agrees with Hawking
an alternate timeline as he states, “Where am I? Out of my world, space, and time” (246). By the end of the book, Juliana finds out that the timeline they are living in right now is actually not the real one. She figures out that in reality, Germany and Japan lost the war. With these two scenes, the idea of the multiverse is introduced into the story. The multiverse is the hypothetical set of possible universes, “where different universes within the multiverse could have different laws of physics”
