Joseph Campbell defined myths as having four basic functions: the Mystical Function—experiencing the awe of the universe; the Cosmological Function—explaining the shape of the universe; the Sociological Function—supporting and validating a certain social order; and the educational Function—how to live a human lifetime under any circumstances While‚ Mircea Eliade argued that one of the foremost

These subjects‚ among others‚ allow a glimpse at how a person regards the world. The beginning of

A Cyclic Universe: A New Model to Rival the Big Bang Theory Phys 1070- Astronomy Topical Essay Motivated by the M-theory‚ space-time ‘branes’ and extra-dimensions‚ scientists Paul J. Steinhardt and Neil Turok introduce a tantalizing alternative to the prevailing standard Big Bang-Inflation model of cosmology. Traditionally‚ the Big Bang-Inflation model features an explosive epoch 15 billion years ago when time and space sprung into existence followed by a fraction of a second of superluminal expansion

The universe that humans currently exist in is so enormous that our minds cannot grasp how immense it is. There are terms that were invented to help us understand it more efficiently‚ however‚ even with our modern technology‚ we only get about half way to comprehending our universe. For example‚ the nearest star is Alpha Centauri‚ it is approximately twenty-five trillion miles away from Earth. Light travels over one-hundred and eighty thousand miles per second‚ even then‚ it would take light over

Observations through a homemade telescope created an excitement in gaining additional knowledge about the universe and the stars. By developing a more powerful telescope‚ Fredrick was able to observe beyond the beginning of the universe‚ where most of the other astronomers of that day focused. In 1781 as he was searching for double stars‚ Fredrick identified an unusual object. Immediately‚ he knew there was more to the

Lesson 1 Key Question Answers 1. What does Hubble’s law predict about the speed of a galaxy far away from the Milky Way compared to one that is closer? Hubble’s law predicted that galaxies were moving away from earth at a rate proportional to their distance from us. The farther away from the Milky Way a galaxy is‚ the larger the redshift is. The farther away a galaxy is‚ the faster it is moving away. Conversely‚ blueshifted galaxies‚ such as Andromeda‚ are moving closer to the Milky Way.
