Albert Einstein's Impact On The Universe
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Universe was formed somewhere between 15-18 billion years ago in a single violent event known as the
Big Bang. They later confirmed that the Universe continues to expand as a result of that supernatural event. Backed by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, along with Hubble’s discovery of an ever expanding universe, this particular theory is accepted by the majority of the scientific community. This theory made a huge impact on the scientific world and is an integral part of how the universe was formed as we know it today.
The Big Bang model itself is a natural outcome of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity as applied to a homogeneous universe (WMAP). …show more content…
However, he felt that the radiation was too weak to detect. He predicted that although the radiation would have begun as visible light at the Big Bang, it would have shifted down to microwave radiation by the time it reached Earth. He would prove this prediction correct. (Feuerbacher). Sixteen years later in 1964, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, radio astronomers who were attempting to get rid of what they thought was background noise on their radio signals when they realized it was something else. The radiation they were detecting was the same in every direction they pointed the antenna. They realized that since the signal was so uniform, it must be originating from somewhere very far away and very far back in time. In addition, because Penzias and Wilson were able to detect the radiation the original source must have been very strong. Physicists inferred that this radiation must be from the Big Bang, but they had no way to prove it …show more content…
For example, energy before and after a scientific event must be equal. While there are always exceptions to these kinds of rules, these particular exceptions always follow the basic
laws of physics. People who oppose these laws also claim that they violate the conservation of energy. Countering this scientists argue that the Big Bang theory doesn’t necessarily talk about the moment the universe was first created. Therefore, the purpose of the theory is how the universe expanded after its creation. They further go on to argue that before the Big Bang there was no time. Which as expected many doubters had to question. (Feuerbacher).
People who argue that the Big Bang theory contradicts the second law of thermodynamics claim that the order of the universe we see today could simply not have begun from an explosion. The second law of thermodynamics says that a closed system, or the degree of randomness within that system increases. However, people who argue that the Big Bang theory is wrong, are working under a false assumption that the Big Bang theory occurred when a small area of dense matter expanded into already existing space, therefore going from an unorganized state to a more organized state. Based on earlier information in the paper,
