THE HOT BIG BANG MODEL About ten billion years ago, the Universe began in a gigantic explosion - the Hot Big Bang! Its subsequent evolution from one hundredth of a second up to the present day can be reliably described by the Big Bang model. This includes the expansion of the Universe, the origin of light elements and the relic radiation from the initial fireball , as well as a framework for ...

Creation of a Cosmology: Big Bang Theory Fifteen billion years ago, the entirety of our universe was compressed into the confines of an atomic nucleus. Known as a singularity, this is the moment before creation when space and time did not exist. According to the prevailing cosmological models that explain our universe, an ineffable explosion, trillions of degrees in temperature on any ...

Chris LaRocco and Blair Rothstein present: THE BIG BANG: It sure was BIG!! The Hubble Telescope's deepest view of the universe teaches us about the beginning INTRODUCTION We certainly know that our universe exists, however, this knowledge alone has not satisfied mankind's quest for further understanding. Our curiosity has led us to question our place in this universe and furthermore, the place ...

Big Bang Cosmology - Miscellaneous Are galaxies only moving apart of is there a sideways 'flow' to them as well Is there 'dark matter' that is really not matter in the universe Where does the energy to accelerate the expansion of the universe come from If the universe is expanding into nothingness, isn't 'Nothingness' something Is the Big Bang expansion really accelerating Are distant ...
