Summary: The Big Bang Conspiracy

Conspiracy Theory Big Bang
11/2/17
Astronomers combine mathematical models with observations to develop workable theories of how the universe was made. Albert Einstein’s General theory of relativity along with standard theories of fundamental particles. NASA’s spacecraft the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope continue measuring the expansion of the universe. One of the goals are to figure out if the universe will expand forever or will it stop, turn around, and collapse in a “Big Crunch.” If we were to look at the universe one second after the Big Bang, what we would see is a 10 billion degree sea of neutrons, protons, electrons, anti-electrons, photons, and neutrinos. Then as time passes we would
see the universe cool, the neutrons either decaying into protons and electrons combining with protons to make deuterium ( isotope of hydrogen). As it continued to cool it would eventually reach the temperature where electrons combined with nuclei to form the nuetral atoms. Before this recombination occurred, the Universe would have been opaque because the free electrons would have caused light (photons) to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in clouds.
