BANG!: The Big Bang and Apologetics
Jaime Cross
“Do we throw away the big bang along with the bathwater because of these complications? Or do we retain the big bang's successful predictions and see if there is room to modify the theory's details in an attempt to solve these problems?” (Neil DeGrasse Tyson). The rapid expansion of the universe can be a tricky thing. Yet at first, it had its flaws, now the modern version of the theory has been deemed “undebunkable” by many scientists today. The big bang theory could really be a possibility for the beginning of the universe. Though for me being a Christian and not an Agnostic/Atheist I see creation by God creating the universe through evolution. This may be a crazy thing for many but if you do the research you can find parallels to each idea.
One fateful day in 1927 Georges Lemaître proposed an expanding universe model that eventually developed into the most loved and hated theory of all time, The Big Bang. Georges developed his theory using the work of Albert Einstein such as his theory of relativity. More or less theories such as GR and SR which both are in a sense the same thing. As I progress through the show Genius I have found it to be easier to understand relativity. The given example is you are on a fast-moving train and you see two lightning bolts hit the ground at the same time 100 meters apart. Though your normal answer would think that they would strike at the same time they went through the eyes of you on the train. To a view outside the train, you would see them strike at the same time. On the train, you would see them strike them both at different times, due to the fact that you are moving away from one and toward the other thus relativity was born. Moving one, the first originally developed the model to elaborate the redshifts in the spiral nebulae. Which are the displacement of long wavelengths in radiation on the red end of the light spectrum, discovered by Vesto Slipher and Carl Wilhelm Wirtz. This law was used in the theory to follow and record the expansions of the galaxies moving away and the smooth expansion of some galaxies. This law was eventually used as “The first observational basis for the expansion of the universe and today serves as one of the pieces of evidence most often cited in support of The Big Bang model. The motion of astronomical objects due solely to this expansion is known as the Hubble flow.” (BBC Universe, Hubble's law and the expanding universe). Another theory that took the science community by storm was the Solid State Theory, which was developed by Fred Hoyles. Which contested the Big Bang Theory, the solid-state theory stated that matter is created as the galaxies move farther away. In the end, The Big Bang Theory was the more widely accepted theory of the two.
Stars and planets make up the universe/galaxies such as ours, The Milky Way Galaxy. They do not just appear out of thin air as most people think. The first ones form from something called matter clumps which form from the big bangs initial components such as Nitrogen and Hydrogen. After millions of years, gravity pulls the masses together into galaxies. When time went on the temperature of the overall matter grew to begin nuclear fusion. The NASA Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) detected through background radiation that the first stars were born over 13.5 billion years ago. Today, in the ever-expanding universe, they most commonly form in groups called Star Clusters which usually resides in Stellar Nebulae. When stars are born they can take two paths, they can either transform into a stable star or a massive star. The path of a massive star then leads to a Red Supergiant where it is at its biggest mass and most gravitational pull. It then transforms into a supernova, where it emits the most light of the four stages; in 2012 there were over 1,048 on record. Eventually, the bigger and the brighter the stars burn the more Hydrogen and Helium they burn, which leads the “Death”. It can either go two ways, one being a black hole or a neutron star. The black hole is formed by the star collapsing in on itself. Forming a gravity well. It is capable of bending the light around it because of the gravity it is capable of handling. No one knows what happens if you enter a black hole, yet some have reason to believe that once you pass the event horizon in the black hole you start experiencing something called spaghettification. Spaghettification is when different parts of an object start getting affected by the gravity of the black hole eventually leading to complete vaporization of the object. The neutron star releases a stellar nebula that is capable of forming other stars. The most famous Stellar Nebula is called The Crab Nebula. The Crab Nebula is the remnant of the supernova discovered a thousand years ago by Chinese and Japanese astronomers. Then the whole process starts all over again. Planets on the other hand form depending on the gravitational pull of the star or planetary body that it orbits, Yet most of the time they are born in Nebulae as well. They form around the star in either elliptical or circular orbits by matter masses gravitate towards each other making an ever-growing planetary mass. These orbits can be calculated by either Kepler's law of planetary motion or Newton's law of planetary motion (Which is just a revised version of Kepler's law, but just for circular orbits). Kepler's law is as follows:
A equals A.U (Astronomical units - Distance of earth to the sun) on a semi-major access. P equalling an orbital period of one year and M being solar masses. This equation helped Astronomers find out what type of orbit the earth is currently in.
Dark Energy is seen to be the most prevalent type of energy/matter in the universe that has been discovered; dark matter being second. These two things have been responsible for keeping the universe expanding throughout time. Dark matter is also been blamed deception of the eye, It makes the viewer perceive that the universe is expanding with us as the center. Dark Matter can exist anywhere in the universe would have the same phenomenon. Scientists can detect dark matter through direct and indirect detection. There has yet to be a direct detection for it. Yet scientists have had proof though indirect detection, such as its gravity. Dark matter can be indirectly observed through the repercussions of SM particles to which wipes out dark matter. Astronomers on this due to the effect it W Boson pairs that are made through the destruction of Nitrogen waves. Scientists have only found evidence of Dark matter through the effects it has on everything through gravity. (NASA, NASA finds direct proof of dark matter). Dark matter, as said above, holds everything together. It keeps the galaxies from dispersing into the cosmos with no real direction nor gravitational pull to keep in line. Dark Energy, on the other hand, is the hypothetical energy that pervades the emptiness of space, yet also drives the expansion of the ever-growing universe. That is all the world knows about dark energy, Just that it fills the ether (Ether - invisible all encompassing substance permeating the universe) and propels the universe into expansion. Though there is not much to branch off of with dark energy scientists can still understand the effects it has on the universe's expansion. Though scientists do know that the universe is cooling which has the same effects as it does water, it expands. So over time, the universe has been getting cooler. Thus thermal expansion.
It all eventually adds up to dark matter and energy, these two substances “make” the universe whole along with the expansion of it. The effects that these substances have on our universe prove to us that our universe is under all circumstances is expanding. The great mind that comprised this theory, Georges Lemaître and the physicists and cosmologists such as Einstein and Vesto Slipher revolutionized how the world sees our universe, and in their eyes, it all started with a big bang. As this theory makes an impression on many to be the way the universe was created, It contests religion/ creationism entirely. Scientists believe they have proved the formation of the universe to disprove creationism. Though that is quite impossible due to the fact that we always find a way to debunk scientific theories that no one understands.
