Unit one, Lesson one

So, our first lesson was about the origin of the Universe, the place where we live.

The theory  I presented is called "Bing Bang", according to it, is considered that all the matter and energy in the universe were concentrated in a single place and about 10-20 bilion years there was an enormous and powerful explosion that spread the matter in all the directions. (you have to read the entire text on the page 9, of your book).
Your hometask is very creative (I promised you...) It includes several tasks.
1. Imagine that you live in 5012 when a lot of people travel around the Universe, for having such a trip you need a passport. Your task is to design a pasport of the citizen of the Universe. (Draw it on separate sheet of paper and bring it for the next lesson).
2. Describe one of the known by you theory about the origin of the Universe (avoid cheating internet sources). Post your stories on the blog.
3. Write the definition of the words in your notebook and learn the definition of the words: Hurl, matter, force of gravity, galaxy, star, clump, moon, satellite, to assume, to justify, speed, phenomenon, to expand, to race, to occure, to predict, radiation, to glow, tough. Write on the blog sentences using this words.
4. Write on the blog about the importance of these people: George Lemantre, Edwin Hubble, Arno Penzias, Robert Wilson.
5. Watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN3Rpz_pSQs and create 5 questions on it. Write your questions on the blog.

  2. The Big Bang model is a widely held theory of the evolution of the universe. Its essential feature is the emergence of the universe from a state of extremely high temperature and density--the so-called big bang that occurred at least 15,000,000,000 years ago. Although this type of universe was proposed by Alexander Friedmann and Abbi Georges Lemantre in the 1920s, the modern version was developed by George Gamow and colleagues in the 1940s.

  5. Since the late 1960s, Robert Wilson's productions have decisively shaped the look of theater and opera. Through his signature use of light, his investigations into the structure of a simple movement, and the classical rigor of his scenic and furniture design, Wilson has continuously articulated the force and originality of his vision. Wilson's close ties and collaborations with leading artists, writers, and musicians continue to fascinate audiences worldwide.

  6. I believe that the universe was created by someone because he alone could jump arranged in such order the sun to illuminate 9 planets in such a way how to have normal temperatures are neither cold nor warm so how to melt or burn. And we know that people are not the universe when it appeared a little later and still not appeared out of nowhere they were created by someone that universe. That's my opinion.

    1. Good answer Marcel, excepting some gramatical mistakes: I advice you to exclude the words: jump, how,are, also replace "people are not in the Universe" with "people were not in the Universe" because your opinion reffers to time that already past.

  7. Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître was a Belgian priest, astronomer and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain. He was the first person to propose the theory of the expansion of the Universe, widely misattributed to Edwin Hubble. He was also the first to derive what is now known as the Hubble's law and made the first estimation of what is now called the Hubble constant which he published in 1927, two years before Hubble's article.

  8. Edwin Powell Hubble was an American astronomer who played a crucial role in establishing the field of extragalactic astronomy and is generally regarded as the leading observational cosmologist of the 20th century. Hubble generally is known for Hubble's law. He is credited with the discovery of the existence of galaxies other than the Milky Way and his galactic red shift discovery that the loss in frequency—the redshift—observed in the spectra of light from other galaxies increased in proportion to a particular galaxy's distance from Earth. This relationship became known as Hubble's law. His findings fundamentally changed the scientific view of the universe.

    1. Matter is anything that occupies space and has rest mass (or invariant mass). It is a general term for the substance of which all physical objects consist. Typically, matter includes atoms and other particles which have mass. Mass is said by some to be the amount of matter in an object and volume is the amount of space occupied by an object, but this definition confuses mass and matter, which are not the same.

      Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract with a force proportional to their masses. Gravitation is most familiar as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped.

      A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter.

      A star is a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity. At the end of its lifetime, a star can also contain a proportion of degenerate matter. .

      The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth, and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary, having a quarter the diameter of Earth and its mass.

  12. I think that the man who created the universe was very lonely. Considering that he was very powerful and wise, created a system of planets. He arranged these planets somehow to be life on one of them. Because not be alone. And now he takes care of the planet and all inhabitants.

  13. Arno Allan Penzias (born 26 April 1933) is an American physicist and Nobel laureate in physics.
    He went on to work at Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey, where, with Robert Woodrow Wilson, he worked on ultra-sensitive cryogenic microwave receivers, intended for radio astronomy observations. In 1964, on building their most sensitive antenna/receiver system, the pair encountered radio noise which they could not explain. It was far less energetic than the radiation given off by the Milky Way, and it was isotropic, so they assumed their instrument was subject to interference by terrestrial sources.

  14. In my opinion, the man who created the Universe was very strong and clever. An ordinary people can't say "I want to create, or to discover something". In that case the people need some luck and
    a big willpower, which he proved, when he created the Universe, an incredible place where we now live, and will live for many years, if not forever.

    Hurl- To perform the act of hurling something; to throw
    something (at another).
    Matter- That of which the sensible universe and all existent
    bodies are composed; anything which has extension,
    occupies space, or is perceptible by the senses; body;
    substance.
    Force of gravity- The force exerted by the gravitational field of a massive object on any body within the vicinity of its surface. This force is dependent on three factors: the mass of the massive object, the mass of the smaller body, and the separation between the two, measured between their geometrical centers.


    Galaxy- A very large collection of stars comparable in size to the
    Milky Way system, held together by gravitational force and
    separated from other such star systems by large distances
    of mostly empty space. Galaxies vary widely in shape and
    size, the most common nearby galaxies being over 70,000
    light years in diameter and separated from each other by
    even larger distances. The number of stars in one galaxy
    varies, and may extend into the hundreds of billions.

    Star- One of the innumerable luminous bodies seen in the
    heavens; any heavenly body other than the sun, moon,
    comets, and nebulae.
    Clump- An unshaped piece or mass of wood or other substance.

    Moon- The celestial orb which revolves round the earth; the
    satellite of the earth; a secondary planet, whose light,
    borrowed from the sun, is reflected to the earth, and
    serves to dispel the darkness of night. The diameter of
    the moon is 2,160 miles, its mean distance from the earth
    is 240,000 miles, and its mass is one eightieth that of
    the earth.
    Satellite- A secondary planet which revolves about another
    planet; as, the moon is a satellite of the earth.
    To assume- To be arrogant or pretentious; to claim more than is due.

    To justify- To prove or show to be just; to vindicate; to maintain or
    defend as conformable to law, right, justice, propriety,
    or duty.

    Speed- The act or state of moving swiftly; swiftness; velocity;
    rapidly; rate of motion; dispatch; as, the speed a horse
    or a vessel.

    Phenomenon- An appearance; anything visible; whatever, in matter or
    spirit, is apparent to, or is apprehended by, observation;
    as, the phenomena of heat, light, or electricity;
    phenomena of imagination or memory.

    To expand- To become widely opened, spread apart, dilated, distended, or
    enlarged; as, flowers expand in the spring; metals expand by
    heat; the heart expands with joy.

    To predict-to tell or declare beforehand; to foretell; to prophesy; to
    presage; as, to predict misfortune; to predict the return of
    a comet.

    Radiation-The act of radiating, or the state of being radiated;
    emission and diffusion of rays of light; beamy brightness.

    Glow-To shine with an intense or white heat; to give forth
    vivid light and heat; to be incandescent.

    Though- However; nevertheless; notwithstanding;

This relationship became known as Lemaître's law or "Hubble's law". These findings fundamentally changed the scientific view of the universe. The existence of other galaxies and red shift was actually first discovered by the American astronomer Vesto Slipher.[2][3] Using the data collected by Vesto Slipher and his (Hubble's) assistant Milton Humason (a former mule-driver and janitor), Hubble and Humason found a direct relationship between a galaxy's distance and its relative speed away from the solar system.[4]


      Robert Woodrow Wilson, (born January 10, 1936, Houston, Texas, U.S.), American radio astronomer who shared, with Arno Penzias, the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics for a discovery that supported the big-bang model of creation. (Soviet physicist Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa also shared the award, for unrelated research.)

  18. Astronomers have calculated that the universe was formed to 13.73 billion years ago (plus / minus 120 million years), after a huge explosion called the Big Bang. Astronomers seek to discover the structure, behavior and evolution of existing matter and energy. The universe is infinite in space and is assumed to end in time
