Nicole Oshan 3/10/2011 ENG 493 Infinite Cosmos and the Wonderful Amazement The Universe is commonly defined as the totality of everything that exists‚ including all physical matter and energy‚ the planets‚ stars‚ galaxies‚ and the contents of intergalactic space. To ponder over the vastness that we on Earth are suspended in is‚ quite frankly‚ amazing. To be able to inspire this awe and amazement in people through writing is an even greater feat. Carl Sagan‚ the author of “Pale Blue Dot‚” uses

accepted theory for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory. This theory states that the universe began about 10 billion years ago in a violent explosion; every particle started rushing apart from every other particle in an early super-dense phase. This explosion sent energy and matter flying all over the place. However‚ there is an argument about whether time and space existed before the big bang‚ or did the big bang create time and space. As the universe expanded‚ according to scientific

Look at how the universe operates. Day and night follow each other in perfect synchronicity. The birds soar through the sky easily and migrate to the right places without ever getting lost. The seasons take turns to change without ever making a mistake. Every planet is always rotating in perfect order and never deviating from it’s course. You can go on forever contemplating the wonders of nature. There is definitely a force that orchestrates and holds it all together. If there is such

the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these “hidden” universes.(1)In 1954‚ a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel universes‚ exactly like our universe. (2)These universes are all related to ours; indeed‚ they branch off from ours‚ and our universe is branched off of others. Within these parallel universes‚ our wars have had different outcomes than the

This theory‚ beyond reasonable doubt‚ has been proven with discovery upon discovery by scientists‚ physicists and astronomers. Opposing theories‚ a major one being religion‚ have testified their cases to disprove the Big Bang Theory. Yet‚ our extraordinary universe has revealed to researcher that there was a time before the universe‚ as scientists are almost certain about. The phenomenon

Accidental Universe The idea of multiple universes to explain the knife-edge of universal parameters that we live in is very intriguing. In my mind the multiverse theory is at this point‚ equally as possible as God or a Creator setting the parameters we live in that allow the existence of life. Being as it is unproved and almost impossible to prove at this time; the theory’s that explain the knife edge of probability’s that we live in brings scientists to believe is some ways there own form of

Plato’s Universe (Chapters 1 & 2) By: Gregory Vlastos SUMMARY Vlastos begins by talking about the word cosmos and its origins. The Greek word kosmeo meaning to set in order became kosmos which had a moral connotation until the Presocratics such as Thales‚ Anaximander and Anaximenes and other physiologoi gave the word a physical application that was composed of the Earth‚ sun‚ moon‚ stars and everything in between. Heraclitus was the first person on record to use the word cosmos with its newest
