Essays on Big Bang

At one point, different concepts and theories of the natural science meet at an explanation of phenomena in a manner that most scientists may not imagine. Such is the relationship between geology and physics. Geology, definitively, is the study of the composition and elements of earth. In an advanced understanding, geology defines the different aspects of the universe such as rocks and the processes by which they change. On the other hand, physics is the branch of natural science that details the understanding of matter force, energy and matter with their movement through time and space (Anand, 2002). With ...

1. The dogmas are laws and axioms that define a science and all the studies inside that science must follow. It is difficult for an investigator to challenge or dispute a law of axiom of natural science as biology, chemistry or physics; because the current scientific community follows the current dogmas of the natural sciences. In the best of cases, tens of years after the discovery or laws challenging other scientist and investigators must support the idea after the scientific community accept a change in the current dogmas.

Currently, the central dogmas of the natural sciences are:

a. All the pluricellular organisms are mechanical. The animals are considered ...

Introduction This perennial question about the existence of God has always been the favorite topic in many debates. It seems that this issue has never been laid to rest yet. This time, the debate was hosted by Birmingham University, in October 2011, and the protagonists were Professors William Lane Craig, who defended the issue on the existence of God, against Professors Peter Millican, a skeptic and atheist himself, who believes that God does not exist. Both were top calibers in their own field of expertise and they presented their position thoroughly well. I agree with Professor William ...

For many historians and academics, globalization was a big bang phenomenon of 1492. The onset of globalization is thus often related to the voyage of Christopher Columbus, which resulted in his discovery of the Americas. Later on, Vas Co Da Gama’s voyage around Africa and his eventual entry into spice trading further laid the foundation of globalization and interconnectedness. The focus of this essay is to develop a clear analysis of the actual onset of the globalization process. It seeks to show that globalization was present even before the famously-acclaimed voyage of 1492. Globalization in itself denotes the ...

Response Paper

Response Paper The presence and existence of God is seen in our daily lives through the practices and the relevant undertaking that we pass through without knowledge of how successfully they pass. To be aware of God, however, implies that one is certain of the belief in His dominical that surrounds every human being, and in everything that is in the universe. McCloskey in his article, “On Being Atheist” attempts to provide proof that the existence of God is not true; with various claims why atheism is a much easier concept to understand compared to theism (McCloskey, 1968). However, ...

Compare the Biblical doctrine of creation with the 20th-century scientific explanation of the origins of the universe (e.g. the “Big Bang”). Your comparison should include some assessment of the ultimate compatibility or incompatibility of the two teachings In today’s world there are as of now two broadly acknowledged exploratory speculations clarifying how planet earth was shaped. Creationists trust that God made the sky and the earth, and that God said let there be light, and there was light. Creationists don't trust that arbitrary events of nature started the start of life as we probably am aware it. Creationists ...

Introduction

In the last few centuries, our understanding of universe has grown by leaps and bounds. Before seventeenth century, people generally believed that the Earth is at centre of the universe and all heavenly bodies move around the Earth. Galileo challenged the idea and published his papers in support of Copernican heliocentric theory that the Earth and other planets move around the Sun. Our understanding of universe grew further. We realized that the Sun is not unique and there are hundreds of billions of stars in the galaxy, which are brighter ...

A Comparative Study of Pragmatic Properties of the English and Chinese Language

Introduction Just like humans and knowledge, language is able to evolve. The question to consider is that are these changes good or bad? The establishment of a language take years to perfect and right now, no language in this world is flawless. Two best examples are two of the most spoken language in the world Chinese and English. Fact Monster (2014) uploaded a list of the most spoken language in the world, Chinese took the top spot with over 1,197,000,000 speakers around the world. English only came in third with 335,000,000 after Spanish. One ...

- Where in the Galaxy is the solar system located? a. in the nucleus, b. in the halo, c. in a spiral arm, d. between two spiral arms) e. in the central bulge

The solar system is placed in a spiral arm, considered the most hospitable region in the galaxy. The spiral arms are where the active stars form and they orbit around the Milky Way galactic center and the solar system joins this orbital trip. According to the latest discoveries, the Milky Way galaxy has only two spiral arms (Scutum – Centaurus and Perseus) as opposed of four previously considered ...

Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate Tectonics

All the earth processes are a result of energy flow and mass circulation in and outside of the earth system. Plate tectonics is an earth process that involves the movement of the lithosphere caused by internal processes inside the earth’s mantle (Kent C 154). This is as a result of convection currents within the earth’s crust caused by the heat in the crust. This heat in the crust is due to the initial heat during the earth’s formation and through the radioactive process. The earth’s core is made of radioactive elements such as uranium which decay and ...

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The earth’s composition consists of a crust, mantle and core. The earth’s core consists of elements like uranium which are radioactive. Due to the phenomenon of radioactivity, these elements decay and trigger a reaction. Because of this a large amount of energy is produced in the core and inner core of the earth. Because of this energy, the core of the earth is very hot and in a molten state. This heat is transferred from the core to the crust by the process convection currents formed in the molten core, creating a cycle of rising and falling of the molten material. This ...

Existence of God

In the general sphere of religion, there are many conflicting issues pertaining to existence of God. This is mainly caused by the different ways in which religious faiths interpret the existence of God. However some other aspects of the existence of God are universally accepted across the different religious faiths. Some of these aspects are: omnipresence, all powerful, the creator and the Supreme Being (www.existence-of-god.com, paragraph 3).

Looking at some basic facts that are evident across all these arguments, there is a universal acceptance that God has unknown origin to human knowledge. This fact is supported by the fact that ...

Abstract

American Culture has undergone many turns and twists throughout the centuries. It has always been determined to provide a tangential impasse into the lives of the American citizens as well as that of the events that encircle him /her in a wider global perspective. Perhaps that had been the proper way of interpretation of the society and its elements on a global as well as local perspective for the media. However in recent years, there seems to be an influence on the media channels as well as cable networks to highlight the importance of only the internal complexities of the American social ...

Introduction

A black hole is a region in space-time, the gravitational attraction which is so large that it can not leave even objects moving at the speed of light, including photons of light itself. The boundary of this region is called the event horizon, and its characteristic dimension - the gravitational radius. In the simplest case of a spherically symmetric black hole Schwarzschild radius is equal to it. Theoretically, the possible existence of such regions of space-time should be of some exact solutions of Einstein's equations, the first of which was obtained by Karl Schwarzschild in 1915. The exact inventor of ...

It will not take long to have the company fully migrated from the legacy approach. As a result, the company shall be able to carry out its activities at ease within a short time. Also, the big bang approach is more cost effective compared to the other approaches. The amount of capital needed in the migration from legacy to the integrated system, when the big bang approach is much less compared to when the ...

In 1927, the philosopher Bertrand Russell gave a speech titled “Why I Am Not a Christian” in which he exposes the reasons why he does not share this belief. In the first part, he analyzes and criticizes different arguments for the necessity of the existence of God, including the First-Cause Argument. In summary, this argument argues that everything must be caused and that this causation must have a first cause, which is God. While there are some obvious flaws in this argument, the present text will not analyze them, but Russell’s response to it. While he raises some convincing points, his ...

Grimm: Season 3

During the 3rd season, the series is staged in such a way the Nick appears to be dead. This happens at the beginning of the series. There have been many comments in relation to the fugue state of Nick. Part of the audience enjoyed this part while the rest are not happy with it claiming that the movie will be boring and a cliché if this continues throughout the movie. One interested fun is seen to describe the reason behind this claiming that it is as a result of Nick’s Super hearing. To him this is like a super power that ...

The cosmos is a vast super structure consisting of planets, stars, contents of intergalactic space, subatomic particles, matter and energy. It is approximately forty six billion light years in radius. The universe was formed 13 billion years ago, when the Planck epoch expanded causing the Big Bang explosion. It is governed by laws and constants that determine the position and the interactions of objects in the universe. Cosmologists argue that the universe has been expanding since its formation. The Big Bang model of the universe, the universe will begin to crumble in the phase, scientists refer to as the Big ...

Does God Exist

Does God Exist Wars have been fought in the names of deities, maladies and weather patterns have caused humans to cry out in praise and condemnation of the divine, and through all that has been endured since the beginning of mankind’s reign the presence of a higher power has always been present, if not in deed then in thought. There has always been that burning need to believe in something, to strive for an answer to life that cannot be grasped by human understanding alone, but must instead be taken on faith where reason does not extend. This ...

Introduction

Technology is playing a crucial role in businesses today. With many business challenges that have been brought about by globalization and competition, there has been the call to leverage on technology to solve most of the problems that are faced by businesses today. The ability to share information and have different departments communicating is one of the goals that many companies seek to achieve. There is a need to have communications between departments and have ways in which the different departments can share resources in a secure manner. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have proved to be the most sought-after solutions that ...

Religion and science are more connected than people in general actually think they are. In the Middle Eve Galileo Galilei was accused to be a heretic because of his assertion that the earth is not the center of the universe, as it moves around the orbit of the sun (Eppur, si mueve) (Galilei in Gibbons 109), later on his heresy was proved scientifically correct. The eternal being that Clarke’s Cosmological Argument is founded on has also been explained scientifically as the Big Bang theory, the beginning of everything. From that primordial explosion star dust spread and it continues to ...

BIOL/RELT421-Issues in Science and Society- Winter 2014 Term Paper The origins of the universe has been a subject of many theories and explanations (Linder, 2003). Some believe in the scientific explanations and the Big Bang Theory is the foremost of them (Linde, Linde & Mezhlumian, 1994). Many, on the other hand, believe in the creation as what was told in the Holy Bible (Van Till, Stek, Snow, & Young, 1990). This paper will portray the notable characters that shaped the theories and beliefs about the origins of the Earth. Hugh Ross, Leonard Brand, and James Gibson are the three ...

The first argument Aquinas presents in the favor of the existence of God is the argument of the prime mover. This is probably Aquinas’s most solid argument with a clear logical follow. Aquinas argues that some things in this world are, inarguably, in motion. Everything that can be moved or has a potential to move is moved by something else. Every object is set into motion by another object. Only an actual object in motion can set another potentially moveable object into motion. Every object is either actually in motion or potentially in motion. No object can be actually and ...

I have been assigned the task of observing a school class and presenting my reflections on the teaching. The purpose of this exercise is to decide whether I would like to teach the subject I observed and the reasons for my decision. For this purpose, I chose the Calloway Count School. I attended a high school geography class. The topic of discussion was “The Big Bang”. I sat through most of the class and present my observations here. The teacher began the class by greeting the students and then asking them about their views of the Universe. He asked the ...

I. Introduction In this research paper, the relationship between science and religion is examined in terms of the potential for a harmonious coexistence. This is an old debate and currently it is a vitally significant one. The view of science and religion as warring enemies has historic roots. The Catholic Inquisition was known to persecute and execute people considered heretics because of their belief in science and scientific things. The Church found science as an explanation offensive. Galileo Galilei is one of the most well known of the victims of the Inquisition. He was imprisoned and forced to do penance ...

Charles Darwin published his masterpiece detailing his theory of evolution by natural selection, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life in 1859. Despite the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community, there are still loud and politically active Creationists that insist that the earth is less than 10,000 years old because the Bible says so. However, the Bible never actually states how old the universe or the earth is. Belief that there is a Creator and in the theory of evolution are compatible for followers of ...

Introduction

Knowledge is defined as the accurate understanding or acquaintance with areas of human survival. The more advanced understandings we have with on environment represent our improved survival. Humans traditionally gain knowledge through two sources. The first is through books. Books have always been the elementary source of knowledge from a very tender age. Children are not the only a group that use books or other written sources to gain knowledge but also adults. Despite the fact that books are very informative, experience is also another vital source of knowledge for humans. Experience is very vital as it uses real situations ...

Introduction

The story of creation is one of the most compelling and intriguing issues that has yet to be concluded. Public opinion is divided in resolving the age-long conflict of the young-earth old-earth dilemma. Even in the field of secular science, a consensus could not be reached. The age of the earth has remained a paradox that, until today, both biblical scholars and scientist are struggling to explain. Predating even the earliest human civilization, man can only speculate what may have happened billions or thousands of years ago. In order to explain man’s very own existence, creation theories have emerged. ...

Is skill in implementing coordinated information technology really a competitive advantage for a firm? Why?

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is whereby an organization’s departments are integrated into one system and also automating services hence improving overall performance. There are different ERP implementation strategies which different organizations’ can use to get an effective working system. We have the Big Bang implementation which happens in a single phase and user move to the new system on a specific date at once. Modules for a certain application are installed all at once. This implementation strategy requires a lot of planning before the planned kick off though there should always be a space for system fail over as implementation may fail ...

Man has always been curious and been investigating the nature of things. He has probed into the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of all phenomena observed. As science evolved, he came up with laws and equations to represent these observations. For many decades, if not centuries, he was satisfied with explaining everything around him using what is today known as ‘Classical Mechanics’. All bodies and phenomena observed could be explained by Newton’s Laws and his equations of motion. In fact this developed into the branch of Classical Mechanics and saw a huge leap in the field of Science. Be it describing ...

If religion were never introduced to people, what kind of society could they have? If religion had been absent since time immemorial and if people were exactly the same as animals in the jungle, what lifestyle could they live for? And yet, if people and the rest of the animals on earth had been “nothing but matter” (Dawkins, 3), what sense of life could have been left to them? To consider these conditional statements or these what-if situations, Richard Dawkins might think that humanity itself could be senseless because people lived without a sense of purpose. And if religion were ...

Chapter 8, pg. 306: Stuxnet and the Changing Face of Cyberwarfare

In the past, cyber crime only dominated the domain of fiction writers. However, cyber warfare as emerged as a daunting and unique problem for every internet security expert, not only in detecting and preventing intrusions but also in tracking cyber criminals and prosecuting them. The most prominent problems include for example, American and Israel hackers used cyber warfare to interfere with the operations of Iran’s nuclear plan, by causing malfunction in one device controlling the nuclear plant. The problem will become worse for countries with advanced technologies such as the U.S., which rely on an electronic banking system and ...

Abstract

Since time immemorial man has tried to study the Universe, its origin, and the laws that govern it. For many centuries now, this has been the major attraction in the field of Science. The scientific curiosity to learn about the Universe and its origin has gradually developed into a well defined branch of Science termed Cosmology. Today there are many sub-branches in Cosmology, and man has made huge progress in the journey towards finding the ultimate truth about the Universe. This paper introduces the field of Cosmology, its various disciplines, past findings, and then goes on to outline the present ...

The Holy Bible which is considered a sacred book by all Christians presents to humanity God, who is an all powerful and the creator of heaven and earth. Through it, and more specifically in the Old Testament, God reveals himself to those people who seek to know and understand him therefore making these people his own. Both the prophets, the teachers of the law and the authors of the books of the bible acknowledge this fact and seek to explain how God is and how he relates to his people in a couple of ways. This leads to the understanding of ...

My topic of presentation was on the expansion of the universe. The center of my discussion was on the accelerating expansion of the universe and the cosmological implications particularly that at some point in the cosmological timescale, the better part of our universe will be unobservable to us. Our planet (or at least our galaxy since the planet would be long over) will be an isolated lonely place and boring with no cosmology to study. Due to the accelerating expansion, galaxies will at some point be moving apart at a speed possibly faster than that of light, this will get ...

Introduction

All through my life, I was born and lived in a Muslim family and neighborhood. I had never thought of associating with people from other religions, especially the Christians, who I had heard many misconceptions about them. I attended a Muslim-sponsored school, where all my peers shared the same religion. Our teachers were also from the Islamic religion, with an exception of one female teacher, whom I realized had a difficult time with her colleagues. After my parents moved to the United States, the new neighborhood was full of people of different religions: Mormons, Christians, Protestants, Hindus, Buddhists, and even fellow ...

While the laugh track of the live studio audience will irritate anyone watching this show to no end, the portrayal of women in its first season would have women rights activist suing all the life out of the show, the mistaken pop culture references every now and then and the feeling that Hollywood has once again taken a shallow look at a long and evolving culture can make people rethink that The Big Bang Theory is really not a show that portrays nerd culture properly, it also cannot be denied that it has gotten a lot of things right more than it got ...

The Big Bang Theory is the best sitcom based on nerd culture. Based on the plot of the story, the four characters in the sitcom named Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz and Raj Koothrappali. All of the main characters are certified geeks and work a Caltech as they engage in their science-related jobs. This is opposed to the other fifth character, Penny who is an aspiring actress and a waitress by profession and quite known for her common sense. The main theme of the show is physics and the dialogue of the four geek characters is mostly focused on news ...

Introduction:

We know for sure that the universe exists. This knowledge alone is not able to satisfy the insatiable curiosity in humans. Since the existence of mankind, the quest for further understanding of the origin of the universe has been imprinted into the human genetic code. This curiosity has led to more questions than answers. It has led to us to question the significance and purpose of humans in the universe. This curiosity has also led us to question the role of man in this universe. These questions have exited through time: How was the universe created? Where did it ...

Introduction The concept of the existence of God spans throughout all existing religions in the world. Divinity centered on a supreme being became the main reference point of different people across various cultures in explaining particular phenomena that has found difficult elucidation. Several concepts of God are apparent in the way different religious bodies manifest their beliefs. Yet, arguments assailing the existence of God continue to be prevalent, alongside variations on how numerous religions conceive God. Up to what extent is the concept of the existence of God controversial? This study seeks to ...

Resulting from the debate featured in the videos, I believe atheism can be defined in terms of two major aspects: the way atheism approaches the concept of death and the way it explains the creation of the universe. According to David Silverman, president of the American Atheists Organization, atheism is the absence of a belief in God, accompanied by an acknowledgement of death as a physical process that all human beings are eventually exposed to. Atheism does not view death as a possible gateway into a further spiritual and eternal life; on the contrary, for an atheist, death is nothing else than a ...

The argument on whether God does exist is one that has been debated by many people for a long time; philosophers on their part have based their assertions on theistic proof on rationality and logic. Some religious groups argue that this debate cannot be decided by logic alone but rather some faith is needed to understand God’s existence. However, that is not always the case; philosophers like Descartes, who is considered the father of modern day philosophy, were able to give theistic proof using valid philosophical arguments. It is hence interesting to try and answer the question of whether ...

Scientific background information

The Big Bang Theory is the cosmological model that explains how the current state of the universe came into existence. Scientific theories explain that approximately 13.75 billion years ago, the universe was dense, compact and extremely hot (Wollack 5). It then expanded rapidly releasing massive amounts of energy. The rapid expansion was followed by rapid cooling which resulted in the conversion of energy into sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons and neutrons) (Menegoni 13). According to scientific theories, the neutrons and the neutrons combined atomic nuclei minutes after the big bang to form the nuclei. According to Wollack, the electrons took ...

Since man came into existence, the existence of a supreme being (God) to whom man should pay allegiance has remained a mystery. As such the existence of God has been studied by numerous theologians, philosophers, scientists among others in an attempt to address controversies on the issue. Some of the main arguments put across for Gods existence include: the teleological argument, the moral argument, the ontological argument and the cosmological argument.

Each of the arguments tries to provide some reasoning as to the existence of God. According to Peterson et al (12), the moral argument is based on the appeal that ...

For far too long, humanity has been content with unquestioned faith in subjective knowledge passed down from generation to generation. This has been especially true on issues regarding the origins of our species and, indeed, the universe. However, in the last 100 years, a new culture has emerged. A culture rooted in the ideals espoused by such trailblazers as Bertrand Russell; a belief in scientific understanding of the world we live in and veneration of acquisition of knowledge. The human race is no longer content with fables and fairy tales. We want to know how, when and why our universe came ...
