New cards

The Big Bang Theory

-origin and the evolution of the entrire universe

2
New cards

The Big Bang Theory

-universe began as an extremely hot and dense state

-it has been expanding and cooling ever since

3
New cards

Georges Lemaitre

-Proposed that universe started as a single point which expans

-1920 (Big Bang)

4
New cards

Nebular Hypothesis

-also called stelllar nurseries

-birthplace of new celestial bodies

5
New cards

Pierre-Simon Laplace

-formation of the solar system

-proposed by ___________. 1796

6
New cards

Solar Nebula

Large cloud of gas and dust known as _______

7
New cards

01 Cosmic Expansion

-The key idea of the Big Bang Theory is the universe is expanding

-space between galaxies is increasing over time

-Raisin Bread Model

-The universe expands, the different celestial bodies doesn’t move, it’s just stretching

8
New cards

02 Initial Singularity

-Starting point of the Universe’s expansion

9
New cards

03 Formation of the Elements

-uclear reactions occured minutes after the Big Bang

-synthesized elements, HYDROGEN AND HELIUM

-Protons and Neutrons after the Big Bang

-3 minutes after the Big Bang, there is the formaion of HYDROGEN AND HELIUM

10
New cards

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

-echo of the Big Bang

-faint glow radiation that fills the entire universe and is nearly uniform in all direction

11
New cards

Robert Wilson, Arno Pezias

-2 that acccidentally discovered the radiation

-they made a stronger evidence

12
New cards

George Gamow, Ralph Alpheer, Robert Herman

-3 meteorologist, 1940’s

13
New cards

Redshift Galaxies

-observation of distand galaxies show that they ar emoving away from us, and the faster they are receding

-the universe is stretching, the ligjt waves are affected, the more electromagnetic the red-er

14
New cards

Abunddance of Light Elements

-light elements are formed after the Big Bang Theory happpened

-Prediction 75% elements of the unjiverse should be hydrogen and the 25% is helium

-after Big Bang, there should be traces of lithium, berilium, when the scientists tested it, they left a strong evidence

15
New cards

Age of the Older Stars

-Studying the ages of the oldest stars

16
New cards

Globular Cluster

-where we can find the oldest stars, 12-13 billion years

17
New cards

01 Formation of the Solaar Nebula

-this stage involves the formation of a large, cold and dense cloud of gas in soace

-gravity pllays a significant role

18
New cards

Gravity

-key player of colllapsing the nebula

19
New cards

02 Collapse and Flattening

-gravitanional force collapses nebula and flattens intoo a disk-shape

20
New cards

03 Protoplanetary Disk

-Steam Pizza in the air

-A flat rotating disk of gas and dust around the central protostar.

-this will eventually be tje starting point og the planet

21
New cards

04 Condensation and Planetesimal Formation

-the colder outer regims, where volatile

-solid dust grains

22
New cards

Condesation

-we refer as the process of solid materials turns into gaseous elements

-temperature decrease, gaseous into solid particles

23
New cards

Planetesimal

-solid objects that ar eformed before the solar system ar e made

24
New cards

05 Protoplanet Formation

-can be formed after the Planetesimal collide, or otheer particles

-small clumps

-the bigger the celestial bodies, the giher the attraction

-they affect the gravitaional attraction

25
New cards

Protoplanets

As planets continues to collide and merge, they form larger bodies known as ________

26
New cards

06 Clearing of the Nebula

-The clearance of the Nebula

-clearing away of the remaining gas and dust in the accretion disk

27
New cards

07 Terrestial and Jovian Planet Formation

-types of planets formed

28
New cards

Terrestrial Planets

Mercury Venus, Earth, Mars

29
New cards

Jovian Planets

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

30
New cards

Uranus and Neptune

-iced giants

-the farther the colder

31
New cards

08 Late Stages and Final Arrangements

-influenced gravitational intearactions and dynamical processes, leading to the configuration
