multiple hours a day polishing and grinding the mirrors used in the telescopes. 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.

Humanity is the Devil: Faith and the Responsibility for Evil Every religious movement faces the contradictions posed by the existence of evil in a universe supposedly under the dominion of a loving and benevolent God. It is one of the most debilitating questions posed to every faith‚ in fact‚ and requires rationalization in imaginative ways.

Speech: The Big Bang Theory How did the universe begin? How did matter come to exist? We all know that the universe exists‚ however‚ this knowledge alone has not satisfied mankind’s quest for further knowledge and understanding. Much time has been spent looking for some clues. Most of what we know is still only a speculation. The three topics I’d like to discuss are what exactly the Big Bang theory is‚ the first atoms‚ and the age of the universe. What exactly is the Big Bang theory? “Fifteen

Science: Then and Now Over time many different scientific ideas have been affected‚ not only negatively‚ by opinions of people around the world. To start the idea of geocentrism is “a disproved theory that places the Earth at the center of the Universe with every other heavenly body orbit around it.” This theory was first introduced in the 6th century B.C by Anaximander‚ however it did not become extensively popular until the 2nd century A.D when Ptolemy unveiled his theories. Earth was not always

with teachings of other philosophers. Demea says that existence of God is obvious‚ no one can deny it‚ but our understanding has limits and we cannot go beyond it in order to figure out the essence of God. Then‚ Demea starts to persuade that our universe operates by means of cause and effect‚ thus there must be first cause that moves everything. Philo agrees with it – causes allow people to understand what the things are‚ but there is nothing that causes God to be‚ and again he refers to claim that

Galileo was living in the time when the Catholic Church was the dominant power and strongly supported the theory of a geocentric‚ or Earth-centered‚ universe. As influenced by the Church‚ most people in Galileo’s time believed the cosmology of antiquity‚ which was that the Earth was the center of the universe‚ and that the Sun and planets revolved around it. Galileo was one of the most important figures in the history of science and scientific method‚ his invention of telescopes has supported his
