Q & A
What is the estimated age of the universe?
-The universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old.
What is the creationism theory of the universe's origin?
-Creationism is the belief that a Divine being created everything, as described in the Book of Genesis, where God created the heavens, Earth, and all creatures in six days and rested on the seventh.
Can you describe the oscillating universe theory?
-The oscillating universe theory suggests that the universe undergoes a series of expansions and contractions, with the Big Bang leading to the formation of the universe and the Big Crunch causing it to collapse, repeating this cycle over time.
What does the steady state theory propose about the universe?
-The steady state theory proposes that the universe is the same at all times and in all places, with a constant average density maintained as new stars are continuously created at a rate that replaces those that have exhausted their fuel.
Who developed the steady state theory, and when was it developed?
-The steady state theory was developed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Herman Bondi, and Thomas Gold.
What is the Multiverse Theory, and how does it differ from other theories?
-The Multiverse Theory proposes that our universe is not the only one, suggesting the existence of multiple universes, which is a unique perspective compared to theories that focus on a single universe.
What is the Big Bang Theory, and why is it widely accepted?
-The Big Bang Theory states that the universe originated from an infinitely hot and dense point called a singularity that expanded to form the ever-expanding universe we have today. It is widely accepted due to supporting evidence such as the redshift phenomenon and cosmic background radiation.
Who first suggested the Big Bang Theory?
-Georges Lemaître first suggested the Big Bang Theory.
What is the redshift phenomenon, and how does it relate to the expansion of the universe?
-The redshift phenomenon is the spectral shift of light from galaxies moving away from us towards the red end of the spectrum, which is an example of the Doppler effect. This indicates that the universe is expanding.
What is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), and how was it discovered?
-The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the leftover radiation from the Big Bang, detected accidentally by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson in 1965. It is the afterglow from the early universe that has been traveling through the universe and can be detected on Earth.
What is the significance of the CMB in understanding the universe?
-The CMB is significant in understanding the universe as it provides evidence of the early universe and is used to further study and comprehend the origins and expansion of the universe.

look at the sky
what do you see
most probably you would see the sun the
moon and even the Stars
all of these including us are part of
the very vast universe
the universe comprises all the time and
space and all the matter and energy in
it
the billions of galaxies the trillions
of stars the planets asteroids and even
the things that are not observable to us
are part of the universe
but do you know how old our universe is
approximately it is 13.7 billion years
old
too old right
but how did the universe start
what is its origin
there are many attempts made to explain
the origin of our universe
and here are some of these theories
the first one is called the creationism
if you believe that a Divine being
created everything this is what this
theory is about
based on the Book of Genesis God created
the heavens and the Earth the Sun Moon
stars and all of the creatures of the
Earth in the span of six days and rested
on the seventh day
another theory is the theory of the
oscillating universe
it states that the universe will go
through a series of expansions and
contractions
observe this simple diagram
expansion or big bang will occur
resulting in the formation of the
universe but eventually it will contract
and will collapse in an event called Big
Crunch
this process is a cycle and will happen
repeatedly
the next Theory we will be talking about
is the steady state Theory
it describes the universe to be the same
at all times as well as in all places
contradicting The Big Bang Theory
but even if it is the same there are
still small changes that are happening
in the universe such as the formation of
new matter or Stars
this Theory highlights that as the
universe expands it maintains a constant
average density just like what is shown
in this diagram
the density becomes constant because new
stars are continuously created all the
time at the rate needed to replace the
Stars which have used up their fuel
already
this theory was developed in 1948 by
Fred Hoyle Herman Bondi and Thomas gold
another interesting theory is the
Multiverse Theory
this theory proposes that our universe
is not the only one but there are other
multiple universes
very interesting right
but the most widely accepted theory on
the origin of the universe is The Big
Bang Theory
take note that big bang is not really an
explosion like a bang but it is an
expansion
this theory states that the Universe
originated from an infinitely hot and
dense single point called a singularity
that expanded to form the ever-expanding
universe that we have today
this theory was first suggested by
Georges lemetra
this theory is widely accepted due to
the pieces of evidence that support it
such as the redshift phenomenon and the
cosmic background radiation
Edwin Hubble observed that most Galaxies
have spectral shifts that move towards
the red end of the spectrum
this is called the redshift
redshift is an example of Doppler effect
as a certain object moves away from us
the light waves emitted by them are
being stretched moving towards the red
end of the spectrum
this discovery indicates that the
universe is actually expanding
another piece of evidence that supports
Big Bang is the cosmic background
radiation accidentally detected by Arno
pensius and Robert Wilson in 1965.
the cosmic microwave background CMB is
leftover radiation from The Big Bang or
the time when the universe began
the like from the early Universe has
been traveling in the universe and we
can detect its Afterglow or CMB on Earth
CMB is being used to further understand
our universe
let's sum up what we have learned so far
some of the theories on the origin of
the universe include creationism the
theory of the oscillating Universe the
steady state universe Multiverse Theory
and the Big Bang Theory
until now many people are still studying
and discovering different things about
our universe
there are still many Mysteries that we
need to unravel about our universe and
who knows you might be the next one who
will share significant discoveries about
our universe
