Answer 2

Raisin bread model big bang theory

Question 3

Predicted to be the core of a black hole high temp and density

Intense heat resulted to formation of matter and antimatter particles were destroyed every time they collided with each other

Answer 3

SINGULARITY

Question 4

Is the formation of elements, presence of these elements led to the formation of stars and galaxies
Led to plantes comets and asteroids

Answer 4

NUCLEOSYNTHESIS

Question 5

Proposes that the universe has always been expanding

New stars and galaxies formed at the same rate old ones become un observable due to distance and recession velocity

Answer 5

THE STEADY STATE THEORY

Question 6

Matter is constantly created as the universe expands

Answer 6

Steady State Theory

Question 7

Matter is constantly created as the universe expands

Answer 7

Steady State Theory

Question 8

Answer 8

Hermann Bondi (1919-2005)
Thomas Gold (1920-2004)
Fred Hoyle (1915-2001)

Question 9

Also known as the Pulsating Theory
Proposes that the universe is explaining and will contract once all the energy of the big bang has been used up

Will expand again once approaches point of singularity

Answer 9

OSCILLATING UNIVERSE THEORY

Question 10

Is a combination of big crunch and big bang

Answer 10

Oscillating universe theory

Question 11

Occurs when the universe expands and eventually reverses, then collapses causing the formation of a singularity results to big bang and new universe

Answer 11

THE BIG CRUNCH

Question 12

Proponent ofnoscillating universe theory

Answer 12

Richard Tolman(1881-1948)

Forest Ray Moulton (1872-1952)

Question 18

Explains that the solar systems formed as a result of a near collision between a passing stat and the sun

Proposes that the hot gas from the passing star condensed into planets instead of planetesimals
