The universe is laden with mystery and wonder; there is no shortage of questions to be asked about the nature of the cosmos.

development of the universe.[1] The key idea is that the universe is expanding. Consequently‚ the universe was denser and hotter in the past. Moreover‚ the Big Bang model suggests that at some moment all matter in the universe was contained in a single point‚ which is considered the beginning of the universe. Modern measurements place this moment at approximately 13.8 billion years ago‚ which is thus considered the age of the universe.[2] After the initial expansion‚ the universe cooled sufficiently

the universe from the time of Aristotle to the time of Newton. Aristotle: Geocentric model of the universe involved a series of 56 concentric spheres to which celestial objects were attached. The Earth was not in motion as the stars showed no measureable parallax. Each planet‚ the Sun‚ and the Moon were in their own sphere and the stars were positioned on a larger sphere surrounding all the others.

The book of genesis creates an elaborate narrative about how the universe was created‚ while science approaches the creation of the universe in an evidence-based manner. The narrative set forth in the book of genesis does not correspond with what science presents‚ hence catalyzing the feud between creationism versus evolution. However‚ it is not accurate to claim one or the other as factual. The book of genesis‚ simply put‚ is the word of God. In contrast‚ our scientific knowledge is based on theories

revolutionary discoveries from the continually improving technologies. The history of telescopes first began in the sixteen hundreds‚ when Hale’s invention of refracting telescopes drastically changed people’s view of the Universe at the time‚ for the view from the telescope revealed the Universe as dynamic‚ as opposed to static. Later on‚ Galileo Galilei improved on these telescopes and constructed several with increasing magnifying powers. With his own telescope‚ Galileo not only viewed our moon‚ but also

Example‚ Neil introduced the Cosmic address (Earth‚ Solar System‚ Milky Way Galaxy‚ Local Group‚ Virgo Super cluster‚ Observable Universe) which dates back to the Big Bang. “Human eyes see only a sliver of the light that shines on the cosmos‚ but science gives us the power to see what our senses cannot.” Neil uses this quote often in this episode‚ explaining that the universe is what you can only see with a naked eye.
