Chapter 30 Section 4 Big Bang Theory

Cosmology Cosmology is the study of the origin, structure and future of the universe. Cosmologists are concerned with processes that affect the universe as a whole. They study how the entire universe formed and try to predict how it will change in the future. Theories about the origin of and evolution of the universe must constantly be tested against new observations.

Hubble’s Observations Scientists used light given off by an entire galaxy to create a spectrum for that galaxy. In the early 1900’s finding the spectrum of a galaxy could take a whole night or several nights. Astronomer Edwin Hubble used the galactic spectra to uncover new information about our universe. Near the end of the 1920’s Hubble found that the spectra of galaxies were shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.

Measuring Red Shifts Hubble examined the amount of red shift and determined the speed at which the galaxies were moving away from Earth. He found that the most distant galaxies showed the greatest red shift, so were moving away from Earth the fastest. Modern telescopes have electronic cameras that can take images of hundreds of spectra per hour.

Using Hubble’s telescope, astronomers were able to determine that the universe was expanding. This led to the current and most widely accepted theory to explain the expansion of the universe- The Big Bang Theory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMe64Reito

Big Bang Theory The theory that all matter and energy in the universe was compressed into an extremely small volume that 13-15 billion years ago exploded and began expanding in all directions. NASA Space Video Simulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LE0hNmJ90 The History of the universe in 10 Minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXLfbfsidp4

About 14 billion years ago, a sudden event called the BIG BANG sent all of the matter and energy outward in all directions. As the universe expanded, some of the matter gathered into clumps that evolved into galaxies. The universe is still expanding today and galaxies continue to move apart from one another. This expansion of space explains the Red Shift that we detect in the spectra of galaxies.

Cosmic Background Radiation Cosmic Background Radiation are low levels of energy evenly distributed throughout the universe that were first detected in 1965 using radio telescopes Astronomers concluded that this formed shortly after the big bang. The universe after big bang would have been very hot. It has cooled greatly by now. The Background radiation temperature is about 3⁰C above Absolute Zero. Absolute zero is -273 ⁰C and is the coldest temperature possible.

Ripples in Space Maps of cosmic radiation over the whole sky look very smooth. On satellite maps where temperatures differ from the average normal background temperature, ‘ripples’ become apparent. Ripples are irregularities in the cosmic background radiation which are caused by small fluctuations in the distribution of matter in the early universe. These ripples are thought to indicate the first stages in the formation of the first galaxies.

Ripples in Space Figure 4 This display is shown on half a globe that represents the sky as seen from Earth orbit. The temperature difference between the red spots and the blue spots is only 2/10,000 °C. p.865

Surprising Universe Recent data based on the ripples in the cosmic background radiation and studies of the distance to supernovas found in ancient galaxies have forced astronomers to rethink some of its theories. Astronomers now think the universe is made up of more mass and energy than they can currently detect.

Dark Matter Analysis of the ripples suggests that the kinds of matter that humans, planets, stars and the matter between the stars are made up of only makes up 4% of the universe. Another 23% of the universe is made up of a type of matter that doesn’t give off light but does have gravity that we can detect. Because this type of matter doesn’t give off light it is called Dark Matter.

Dark Matter

Dark Energy Another surprise- most of the universe is composed of something we know almost nothing about- Dark Energy. Scientists think that it acts as a force that opposes gravity. Recent evidence suggests that distant galaxies are farther from earth than current theory would indicate. Scientists conclude that some form of undetectable dark energy is pushing them apart. Not only is the universe expanding, but the rate of expansion seems to be accelerating.
