Q

What comes after the formation of the universe

A

Formation of the basic elements

24
Q

Once they collide when it is hot, they would try to separate again until it cools down. With this, there is an option for the production of nucleus. This process is called

A

Nucleosynthesis

25
There are a lot of protons and neutrons scattered during the Formation of the basic elements. Do these particles form something? Yes or No?
No. They don't form something
26
Where do the protons and neutrons attach
Inside the Nucleus
27
What do you call the elements inside the nucleus
Nucleons
28
What is the first element formed?
Hydrogen
29
This era produces wavelengths and the Cosmic Microwave Background
Radiation Era
30
It envelopes our universe and is the remnants or energy in the outer space that is also one of the evidences of Big Bang
Cosmic Microwave Background
31
What happened in the Matter Domination era
Matter began to dominate and produced neutral atoms
32
Equal number of protons and electrons
Neutral Atoms
33
Unequal number of protons and electrons
Ion and Cation
34
This is where the stars are born. It is the clumps of gases and dusts.
Nebula
35
Fuel of the stars
Hydrogen and Helium
36
When the Nebula keeps swirling, there's what?
Accretion
37
Self luminous gaseous spherical celestial body of great mass
Star
38
A star produces energy by means of
Nuclear Fusion Reactions
39
Explosion of the star
Supernova
40
A place where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out
Blackhole
41
Supporting Evidences of Big Bang Theory
1. Galaxies moving away 2. Presence of Cosmic Microwave Background 3. Abundance of light elements
42
Massive amounts of what elements were found in the Big Bang Theory
Helium and Hydrogen
43
Who figured the Red and Blue Shifting
Edwin Hubble
44
If all things were moving away, it is called
Red shifting
45
If the object is moving towards us, it is called
Blue shifting
46
Fate of the universe
Big crunch and Big chill
47
We would outward flight. The galaxies will slow down, eventually stops and collapses. When it reaches it's limit then it will explode
Big Crunch
48
The universe simply continue to expand in the vast horizon
Big Chill
49
The universe doesn't change its appearance and is homogenous. When an older star dies, new star replaces it. So everything remains the same. The universe neither has beginning nor ending.
Steady State Theory
50
Extension of the Big Bang Theory. Provides solutions to unresolved problems of Big Bang Theory
Inflationary Theory
51
Big Bang states that there should be a curvature. Everything is constant.
Flatness
52
Determined that the geometry of the universe is nearly flat
WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe)
53
Dropped exponentially to undetectable level during rapid expansion
Monopole
54
Big Bang states that space in opposite direction are so far apart they could never have contact with eachother
Horizon
55
1 lightyear is equivalent to
9 trillion km
