  • Teilhard In His Understanding Of The Universe
    2,822 words
    "Before the world was made, he chose us, chose us in Christ, to be holy and spotless, and to live through love in his presence, determining that we should become his adopted sons, through Jesus Christ". (Eph. I, 4-5). These powerful words of St. Paul in his first letter to the Ephesians, I think, best characterize the spirit of Teilhard the Chardin, his idea of man and man's place in the universe, and of the common goals of humanity. Just imagine somebody Somebody, whose whole life was a continu...
  • Larger Objects Like Our Galaxy
    338 words
    The Nature of Dark Matter We observe the universe around us through many scientific means. However it is through the electromagnetic spectrum, that is everything from radio waves to gamma waves, that we learn about the objects in our world and beyond. However we can also learn about our universe through indirect means, such as the effect of gravity on light as well as larger objects like our galaxy. In fact it is this indirect method of observation that has led us to the discovery of extra-solar...
  • Shedding Light On Our Galaxies Dark Matter

    Dark Matter Andrew Bilbrey Honors Physical Science Mr. Crupi 9/17/97 I'll be the first one to admit it. Dark mater is a boring subject. But until we can all grasp the meaning of quantum physics and what our universe is made of, we will never understand ourselves. This is what dark matter is all about; what scientists have been mystified about for the past few years. Many questions have come up in the study of this puzzling matter, but maybe we should start out with the basics. The Basics All thr...
  • Stars And Dark Matters
    1,629 words
    Looking for the Invisible: Search for the Dark Matter There is perhaps no current problem of greater importance to astrophysics and cosmology than that of dark matter. The search for dark matter has dominated cosmology for half of the century. But one might ask, what is dark matter What is it consisting of And, how do we know that its there As much as 90 percent of the matter in the universe is invisible. Detecting this dark matter will help astronomers better comprehend the universe's destiny. ...
  • Universal Black Hole
    1,091 words
    The End of the Universe There are many theories predicting how the universe will end. These theories are based on one four basic principles. The first principle being that the universe continues in an endless cycle. The next is that the universe will stay at its current size. The third is the universe will continue to expand endlessly. The final principle, states that the universe will collapse on itself. The first theory is based on the fact that the universe is oscillating. The universe curren...
  • Anti Matter Elements
    1,352 words
    Sean Patrick Patrick 1 Chem. Study pr. 2 6/13/99 Chemicals in the media Anti-Matter As research continues into the field of anti-matter there might be some very interesting and practical uses of anti-matter in the society of the future. Until there is a practical use, this is merely an attempt to prove which research lab will be the first to manufacture the anti-matter elements. Ordinary matter has negatively charged electrons circling a positively charged nuclei. Anti-matter has positively char...
  • Dark Matter
    1,040 words
    There is perhaps no current problem of greater importance to astrophysics and cosmology than that of 'dark matter'. The controversy, as the name implies, is centered on the notion that there may exist an enormous amount of matter in the Universe that cannot be detected from the light that it emits. The evidence of dark matter is from the motions of astronomical objects, specifically stellar, galactic, and galaxy cluster / super cluster observations. The basic argument is that if we measure veloc...
  • Expansion And Contraction Of The Universe
    2,973 words
    The Collapse of the Universe and the Reversal of Time Cosmologists today do not agree on whether the universe will expand forever, or will eventually re collapse. And among those who subscribe to the latter view, there is disagreement over the nature of the collapse. Some believe it will be a mirror image of the big bang, so that any intelligent creatures living during the second half of the universe's life will sense time moving in the reverse direction, and view us as living in their future. T...
  • Big Bang Theory The Universe
    962 words
    The big bang is an vital scientific theory about the origin of the universe. It occurred about 15 to 18 billion years ago. It marked the instantaneous creation of all matter in the universe. The explosion that took place was not a normal explosion; starting as a point of infinite density, thus called the "primordial nucleus". It expanded at speeds equal to and even greater then light. However, according to the Big Bang theory, the universe will continue to expand for billions of years. The galax...
  • Cooling Of The Universe
    1,197 words
    Describe the transformation of radiation into matter where followed the "Big Bang" After the Big Bang... Where the big bang is recorded to begin, the first step was radiation filling the Universe. This took between 10-12 to 10-10 seconds. At this time, the universe is lying in a dense, hot and small state. As proposed by Einstein's theory of general relativity, the expansion of the Universe can be driven by energy density in the form of matter radiation. As the radiation here was exceedingly lar...
  • Anti Matter Elements
    1,296 words
    Introduction Ordinary matter has Anti-Matter Anti-Matter Introduction Ordinary matter has negatively charged electrons circling a positively charged nuclei. Anti-matter however has positively charged electrons – positrons – orbiting a nuclei with a negative charge – anti-protons. Only anti-protons and positrons are able to be produced at this time, but scientists in Switzerland have begun a series of experiments which they believe will lead to the creation of the first anti-mat...
