“In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”     -Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe(1980)     This is a statement I agree with as many, many questions have arisen than cannot be answered with todays current understanding of the universe. Some of these questions include morality, the purpose of life, what is free will, what is reality, and so on. These questions have been difficult to answer with

The universe is all the existing matter, space, and energy as a whole. Scientists believe that the universe is now around 10 billion light years in diameter. However, scientists are now arguing over how the universe began, and how the universe will end. One of the most popular, and most reasonable, theory is the Big Bang. This theory posits that the universe was in a bubble a thousand times smaller than a pinhead. Then, out of nowhere, it expanded. The Big Bang wasn’t an explosion; it was the universe

The Origin the Universe was explained over centuries by different people and in different parts of the world. The African myths of Bumba, Bishop Usher (Book of Genesis), Greek philosopher Aristotle’s explanation of eternal universe, German philosopher Immanuel Kant thesis and anti-thesis about the beginning or eternal universe all tried to explain the origins or eternal existence of Universe. Later part of 20th century many scientific theories were more convincing explanations for of the origin of

The Universe Explained In the nonfiction novel "The Universe in a Nutshell" by Stephen Hawking explains how the world is larger and more into depth than it actually seems due to quantum gravity. Quantum gravity is a theory produced by Einstein that explains gravitational physics and how it affects us. The world will keep expanding and produce many mysteries since scientists are coming up with theories that seem predictable. This novel informs the audience about how physics contributes to quantum

The Universe Predetermined This Essay An Analysis of Stephen Hawking’s “Is Everything Determined” Stephen Hawking wrote this essay in an attempt to journey into the mysteries of predestination and how it works. Mr. Hawking being the honest atheist that he is was able to go around understanding of God and religion but also take a more aggressive, scientific approach to predestination in which he is able to put together a list of questions and answers in deductive reasoning that pertains to pieces

Consider the universe. It is never boundless, never-ending and contains everything that has ever been or ever will be. Mankind has always been interested in what lies beyond the world that we know and finding what else is out there. The universe includes everything from the largest stars to the smallest particles. Exploring the universe is more than just space travel it includes exploring the world and all it contains. It can lead to cures for new diseases, the discovery of new elements, finding

In the TED talk “Is Our Universe the Only Universe?,” theoretical physicist Brian Greene discusses the controversial multiverse theory, which postulates that our universe is actually only one in a vast web of many. Greene describes the basis for and the scientific discoveries relating and leading up to the multiverse concept, including string theory; he also touches upon its vast consequences, which extend beyond the realm of science and into questions about theological perceptions of the rarity

world began, these stories are known as creation stories or creation myths. Creation myths can give those reading them a better understanding of the values within the culture that they were created. The myth of creation explains the origin of the universe, describing how the world and its animate and inanimate entities were created (El-Asward, Garry, & El-Shamy, 2005, p.24-31). A major similarity in each of the different creation stories is the idea of water as the elemental source of life. For example

of our universe was shrunk into a calendar year. This puts not only time, but our limitations into perspective. Such vast numbers cannot be comprehended by our minds, hence the popular calendar metaphor. Studying astronomy makes aware to us our limitations and thus reveals an awe-inspiring new realm that we could not have grasped even a glimpse of before. Neil deGrasse Tyson begins us on our journey through the universe by giving us our cosmic address – where we are in our vast universe. It goes

defining the universe as all of the physical aspects of space. With this as his foundation it is not possible for the Big bang to be the origin of the universe. As discussed in lecture, the common man denotes all this physical to being related to a first cause in an infinite chain of causes. This ideal is based on the thoughts that there was nothing before he Big Bang, and that the event itself started everything we can receive through our senses. According to Jubien’s definition of the universe as containing
