Discuss the big bang theory of the universe:
Why do we believe the Universe had a beginning?
What is the evidence that the Universe is expanding?
What is dark energy and how is that related to what the Universe
looks like and what will happen to it in the future.
What is inflation?
How does Einstein’s theory of General Relativity fit into
this?
Is this changing our view of our place in the cosmos as
drastically as the Heliocentric theory...
Wasn't the density of the universe at the moment after the Big
Bang so great as to create a black hole? If the answer is that the
universe/space-time can expand anyway what does it imply about what
our universe looks like from the outside?
Tell the story of how a proton created in the Big Bang made its
way into your body, and is now a part of a carbon atom in your
cell's DNA. Think of some the places where this atom might have
lived over the years, and remember that atomic nuclei get
transformed within stars and may be incorporated into future
planets. Include at least 4 different stages of development
including the processes that drove the transformations.
