ZARAS BANG THEORY

• Big Bang Theory


  A theory that states that the universe began to expand with the explosion of concentrated matter and energy
• After the “Big Bang”

  The force of gravity began to affect the matter shooting outward in every direction
• Gravity began to pull matter

  Into clumps
• Gravity


  A force of attraction between objects
• These clumps formed huge clusters which became galaxies of the universe
• The galaxies are moving away from the center of the universe
• The explosion took place


  About 14 billion years ago
• Open Universe

  Saddle shaped; galaxies will continue racing outward and the universe will continue to expand until all stars die off; leads to total emptiness
• Closed Universe

  Sphere shaped; the expansion of the universe will finally come to a halt; gravity will pull the galaxies back toward the center of the universe; leads to a Big Crunch followed by another big bang
• Our book states that the universe is a closed universe
• They believe that a big bang may occur once every 80 to 100 billion years
• Most of the universe is empty space: a vacuum which is defined as a volume containing no particles, force fields, nor waves
• By definition a vacuum has no energy
• The law of conservation of energy demands that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
• The universe has too many large structures to be created in 10-20 billion years
• It would take about 100 billion years for these structures to form (Condradiction 2).
• St. Augustine: '“Ex nihilo” is a Latin term that translated means “out of nothing.”'
• Ex nihilo

  An idea presented by St. Augustine that became Church doctrine; a philosophical explanation of how God created everything out of nothing
• Scientists now believe in a new theory according to Albert Einstein, the universe is a space-time continuum
• Forms of the universe

  • Closed (looks like a sphere)
  • Open universe (looks like a saddle)
  • Flat universe
• Closed universe


  Travel far enough and you always come back to the starting point; the universe will slow down, stop, then reverse direction causing a new Big Bang
• Open universe

  Galaxies continue to expand forever; most scientists agreed that this theory was correct up until this summer
• Flat universe

  When traveling in a straight line you will never return to your starting point; the universe will expand forever, but more slowly all the time
• Contradiction to the Big

  Bang Theory:

  • Too much energy
  • Too complex, too early
  • “Ex nihilo”
• CLOSED UNIVERSE SPHERE SHAPED

  
• OPEN UNIVERSE SADDLE SHAPED
