The Simplified Big Bang Theory

"The Simplified Big Bang Theory"," We want to know more and more, isn't so? Our curiosity has led us to the question of our place in this universe and furthermore, the place of the universe itself. Obviously, these are not simple questions, rather they are very tricky one, and throughout our brief history on this planet much time and effort has been spent looking for some clue. We have, however, come a very long way from the mystical beginnings of the study of cosmology and the origins of this immense universe. True to the nature of science, a majority of these answers have only led to more intriguing and complex questions. It seems to be inherent in our search for knowledge that questions will always continue to exist. It will be important to keep in mind that all of this information is constantly being questioned and reevaluated in order to understand the universe more clearly. For our purposes, through an examination of what is known about the Big Bang itself, the age of the universe, and the synthesis of the first atoms, we believe that we can begin to answer several of these key questions. Different people have different opinion on it. Through the inception of the Big Bang theory, however, no longer could the universe be considered infinite. About 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion started the expansion of the universe. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. This occurrence was not a conventional explosion but rather an event filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe rushing away from each other. The galaxies were not all clumped together, but rather the Big Bang lay the foundations for the universe. Hubble made the observation that the universe is continuously expanding. Galaxies that are twice as far from us move twice as fast. This observation means that it has taken every galaxy the same amount of time to move from a common starting position to its current position. This phenomenon of galaxies moving farther away from each other is known as the red shift. In addition to the understanding of the velocity of galaxies emanating from a single point, there is further evidence for the Big Bang. The noise did not seem to emanate from one location but instead, it came from all directions at once. This discovery of the radioactive aftermath of the initial explosion lent much credence to the Big Bang theory. These microwaves were remarkably uniform which illustrated the homogeneity of the early stages of the universe. These flucuatuations verified prior calculations of the possible cooling and development of the universe just fractions of a second after its creation. They also helped to tell the story of the formation of galaxies which will be discussed in the next chapter. It is important to understand, however, that the theory itself is constantly being revised. In summary, we have made a first attempt at explaining the answers that science has revealed about our universe. As time wears on, more discoveries are made, leading to infinite questions which require yet more answers. Unsatisfied with our base of knowledge research is being conducted around the world at this very moment to further our minimal understanding of the unimaginably complex universe. These challenges have led those who believe in the theory to search for more concrete evidence which would prove them correct. Recently, NASA has made some astounding discoveries which lend themselves to the proof of the Big Bang theory. In June, 1995, scientists were able to detect primordial helium, such as deuterium, in the far reaches of the universe. In addition, the Hubble telescope, named after the father of Big Bang theory, has provided certain clues as to what elements was present following creation. They postulate that its presence could be either a remnant of energetic events at the birth of galaxies or it could indicate that boron is even older, dating back to the Big Bang itself. In this manner we can see that the research will never be truly complete. So to answer the question, The path we take from here will only be determined by our own discoveries and questions. This is a brief view about the great Big Bang theory. There are so many mysteries around us. TRY SOMETHING NEW JUST CLICK HERE
