moving away from us‚ is moving towards red on a wavelength spectrum and the farther the galaxy‚ the greater the redshift. In short‚ red shift shows that a galaxy moves faster as it gets farther from us‚ and “Since we cannot assume that we have a special place in the Universe‚ this is evidence for a generally expanding Universe.” (The Big Bang 1). This suggests that everything is moving away from everything else‚ and expanding. Cosmic Background Microwave Radiation (CMBR) is electromagnetic radiation

5 of the biggest unsolved mysteries in physics The mysteries of the universe are as vast and wide as existence itself. Throughout history‚ mankind has searched and struggled to find the answers tucked away inside the universe and everything we see around us. As Deep Thought said in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy‚ "I think the problem‚ to be quite honest with you‚ is that you’ve never actually known what the question is." True‚ we have yet to come up with the answers to life‚ the universe

Against Substantivalism The ‘hole’ argument against substantivalism is a great argument created by Albert Einstein out of desperation when his general theory of relativity ran into obstacles. The ‘hole’ argument says that if the general theory of relativity is true and substantivalism is true‚ then for any model of the general theory of relativity representing a physically possible universe‚ there is a hole diffeomorphism of that model which represents a physically possible universe that is observationally

In our lives we’ve all looked into the night’s sky and admired its beauty. But those stars that dot the skies are moving‚ most of them rapidly away from us. In Chapter 3 of A Brief History of Time‚ Hawking describes the beginning of our universe‚ otherwise known as the big bang‚ and how our universe is expanding. In Chapter 4‚ Hawking explains the dismissal of the idea that future events can be predicted because of the belief that the universe was completely deterministic. As I read chapters 3 and

Everywhere he was acclaimed a genius for defining the principles of relativity‚ though very few people understood what they meant. Imagination may have been essential to his breakthrough thinking‚ but Einstein’s discovery also rested on his vast knowledge of physical science. Knowledge and imagination let him see the relationship

One of the most intellectual and renowned scientist of the world‚ Albert Einstein‚ gave his Theory of Gravitation called General Theory of Relativity in the year 1916. This theory is still considered to be an irreplaceable theory and poses challenges while learning. It is no where simplicity‚ it is to complex. In this theory Einstein had a problem with the static universe‚ his theory somethings stating that universe a whole would not remain static‚ gravity should play the role of attracting the things

aroused an intense desire in not only scholars but also for non-scholars to validate of disprove this hypothesis. Most researchers today currently argue one of the following three positions in relation to the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis or Linguistic Relativity: language heavily influences thought‚ language does not influence thought or language partially influences thought. This essay will intend to focus on those three positions and argue that the language we speak partly influence the way we perceive

This essay will examine the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis of language relativity and it will attempt to define the concept as well as to establish whether it was a turning point for reconsidering the correlation between culture‚ thought and language. While taking into consideration the contribution of Sapir and Whorf in highlighting

Big Bang From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia "Big Bang theory" redirects here. For the American TV sitcom‚ see The Big Bang Theory. For other uses‚ see Big Bang (disambiguation). According to the Big Bang model‚ theUniverse expanded from an extremely dense and hot state and continues to expand today. A common analogy explains that space itself is expanding‚ carrying galaxies with it‚ like spots on an inflating balloon. The graphic scheme above is an artist ’s concept illustrating the expansion
