2014 Professor Patrick Hall phallyorkuca Assoc Professor amp Undergraduate Program Director Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty of Science York University Science Resources at York. Homogeneous and uniform cosmic expansion . Hubble constant determines scale factor . Hubble diagram was based on a limited distance scale calibrated by Cepheid variable stars in relatively nearby galaxies. Slide 1 – Introduction.  . Presentation title:. Acceleration of Dominant Supermassive Black Hole Singularities Serving as the Catalyst of Dark Energy in the Formation of Universes. This is one of several means by which a universe could form from a gravitationally bound galaxy cluster.. Lecture 3; April . 11 2013. Previously.. On Astro-2. The universe is much larger than the Milky Way (Gpc vs kpc). There are billion of galaxies, the Milky Way is average Joe galaxy. Most galaxies can be classified based on their appearance as . Flat Earth Theory. Flat Earth Theory. Date: Ancient Times. Scientists: Babylonians, Egyptians. Theory Description: The world is a flat disk, not a sphere. Evidence: None. As early as the 4. th. century BC, scientists and philosophers, such as Aristotle, realized that the Earth was a sphere. Finely-Tuned . for Life?. Allen . Hainline.

It was apparently much flatter in the past:. Inflation!. For definiteness, pick . g. eff. =200 and . k. B. T. = 3. . 10. 15. . GeV. You should memorize this value to about 54 digits or so. How did it happen to be so close to 1?. Atoms to Astronomy. 2. Special theory of Relativity. It is a basic property of Nature that:. Velocity of Light in vacuum is constant.. All inertial frames are identical so if two objects are moving with a constant velocity, it is impossible to do any test which allows to measure the velocities in absolute manner.. Hubble Expansion and the Big Bang . The fact that more distant galaxies. have higher . redshifts. . indicates that the universe is expanding. This implies that the universe was born in a huge explosion, or . Ryan Broll. Overview. Always referring to “shape” at all times, because of special relativity.. Curvature vs. Topology. “Flat or curved” vs. “Open or closed”. FLRW model. Named after scientists. From t=0 to the CBR Era. The CBR. Universe hotter & denser in the past. For T high enough - ionized & opaque – blackbody. and. Currently T=2.726 K. z(opaque. . transparent)~1100 K. The universe is the sum of all energy, matter, space and time.. But there. ’. s a difference between the universe we see (the observable universe) . and the universe as it really exists.. This gets complicated….. The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest. . –Kurt Vonnegut. Cosmology. Cosmology is the study of the nature of the universe, how the universe began and how it will end, if it does. There is religious cosmology, and scientific cosmology. The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest. . –Kurt Vonnegut. Cosmology. Cosmology is the study of the nature of the universe, how the universe began and how it will end, if it does. There is religious cosmology, and scientific cosmology. If the universe was 1 year old . . .. Science/religion – either/or?. How do we predict the conditions of the early universe?. What are the different eras in the early universe?. What key lines of evidence support the Big Bang model?.
