Question 1

The universe is going though a rapid expansion called inflation that has been going on and has never stopped expanding.

Answer 1

eternal inflation

Question 2

The universe is not only uniform, but also unchanging in time, thus it is continuously created.

Answer 2

steady state universe

Question 2

Process where two or more nuclei combines to form a new element which governs the
nucleosynthesis process

Answer 2

nuclear fusion

Question 3

The universe is a crisscross of huge electric currents and gigantic magnetic fields.

Answer 3

plasma universe

Question 3

Consists of a cyclic model because of the endless occurrences of explosions or big bang. This is followed by a contraction of the universe called “big crunches” in order for the cycle to repeat

Answer 3

oscillation universe

Question 4

the universe was created by a supreme being.

Answer 4

creationism

Question 5

is the creation of chemical elements by nuclear fusion reactions within stars.

the collective term for the nuclear reactions taking place in stars to build the nuclei of the heavy elements

Answer 5

stellar nucleosynthesis

Question 5

is formed when a cloud of gas and dust
collapse to the point where the material in the
center of the clump is so dense and hot that
nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei and helium
nuclei occur

Answer 5

star

Question 5

it refers to the period of big bang nucleosynthesis lasted only from about 10 seconds to about 20 minutes from the beginning of the universe itself

Answer 5

mechanism of the BBN

Question 6

Describes how the universe began in a rapid expansion about 13.7 billion years ago

offers explanation to a broad range of phenomena including
the formation of light elements

Answer 6

big bang theory

Question 6

The universe was created by a random fluctuation of a subatomic particle that exploded.

Answer 6

big bang theory

Question 7

who published the paper entitled “The Origin of Chemical Elements”

Answer 7

Dr. Alpher, Bethe, and
Gamow

Question 7

what are the 3 important nuclear fusion processes in stellar nucleosynthesis

Answer 7

2. helium burning
3. burning of heavier elements

Question 7

A branch of natural science that studies
non-living systems, in
contrast to life science

Answer 7

Physical science

Question 7

described a process by which all of the elements in the universe could have come into existence shortly after the Big Bang

Answer 7

alpher-bethe-gamow paper

Question 8

• Refers to the production of nuclei
• Believed to be responsible for the
  formation of

o Hydrogen (H-1)
o Deuterium (H-2)
o Helium Isotopes
o Lithium Isotopes

Answer 8

big bang nucleosynthesis (bbn)

Question 9

what happened after the big bang nucleosynthesis?

Answer 9

• universe expanded outwards and cooled
• decrease in temperature
• nuclear fusion becomes isolated
• w the decrease o temp, electrons were able to combine atomic nuclei to form neutral atoms

Question 9

The branch of astronomy that involves the origin and evolution of the universe, from the formation to today and into the future.

Answer 9

Cosmology

Question 9
