The Beginning Of Time :: essays research papers fc

The Beginning Of Time     There was a period in history when the beginning of the world in whichwe live in was a uttered through legends and myths, now, through the use ofincreasingly advanced scientific equipment we can see that the universe is morevast and complex than ever imaginable. The purpose of this wallpaper is to bring swooning to some of the modern beliefs regarding the origin of the universe byanswering a series of questions. What are the publicly excepted theories of theevolution of the universe? What is meant by the "Big Bang Theory" and how doesit work? And how our planet and solar system developed from The Big Bang? Thispaper will use scientific info to base the evolution of our universe around TheBig Bang.     At the present time there are two theories which are used to explain the cornerstone of the universe. The first system is the infamous Big Bang Theory,which will be detailed later. The second is the Steady St ate Theory. (Weinberg,1977)     The later hypothesis was created to replace the common belief that theuniverse was completely static. The expansion of the universe was discovered in1929 when Edwin Hubble discovered that every galaxy in the universe was movingaway from all(prenominal) other, this meant that the universe was expanding. Hubble foundthe movement of the galaxies by using a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect.This effect caused bodies moving away from an observer to have a "red-shifted"spectrum (the light spectrum of the body had been shifted closer to red) andbodies moving towards an observer to be "blue-shifted" (Hawking, 1988)     The expansion was traced backwards through time to discover that all thegalaxies had originated from the same point. It was later believed that all offspring spawn from that "center of the universe" discovered by Hubble, by meansof some sort of enigmatic portal. Matter would collect outside this singularityand seduce every moon, planet, and star known today.     The Steady State Theory was very attractive because it featured auniverse with no beginning or end. The theory meant that scientist had toabandon the laws of conservations of mass and energy. It seemed plausible thatthe aforementioned laws of physics could breakdown at a certain point but moreand more evidence self-collected against the Steady State Theory, leading to unendingmodifications to it. Until finally the theory was dropped completely with thediscovery of the smooth microwave background radiation (radiation so ancient ithad shifted practiced out of the visible spectrum into microwave radiation). Asmooth background to the universe suggested that it was hot and uniform - the
