According to the Big Bang Theory, the Universe expanded from an extremely dense and hot state and continues to expand today. An analogy we used in class that explains that space itself is expanding, carrying galaxies
with it, was raisin bread. As the dough in the bread expands it pushes the raisins further away from each other. The best way to cover the intricacies of the Big Bang Theory is by watching this video:
Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind. -Albert Einstein
The video gives a straight forward overview of the Big Bang theory. It covers all of the bases that we discussed in class. Therefor, I have no critiques for it. The biggest thing that caught my attention was Einstein's error. It's hard to believe that such a genius would create the cosmological concept just to comply with the thought of the time. He wanted the Universe to be eternal and unchanging...but it's not.
This is good, but I'd like to see some commentary on what you liked and didn't like about the video.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too hard on Einstein, it's difficult to shake beliefs that are at your foundation when there is evidence to prove them wrong. Einstein simply used Occam's Razor to give him an answer he though was correct. This is good for a point.
