Big Bang by group5

The Big Bang theory is the prevailing
cosmological model that explains the early
development of the Universe. According to the Big
Bang theory, the Universe was once in an
extremely hot and dense state which expanded
rapidly. This rapid expansion caused the young
Universe to cool and resulted in its present
continuously expanding state. According to the
most recent measurements and observations, this
original state existed approximately 13.7 billion
years ago, which is considered to be the age of the
Universe and the time the Big Bang occurred.

The Big Bang theory developed from observations of the
structure of the Universe and from theoretical considerations. In 1912
Vesto Slipher measured the first Doppler shift of a "spiral nebula"
(spiral nebula is the obsolete term for spiral galaxies), and soon
discovered that almost all such nebulae were receding from Earth. He
did not grasp the cosmological implications of this fact, and indeed at
the time it was highly controversial whether or not these nebulae were
"island universes" outside our Milky Way. Ten years later, Alexander
Friedmann, a Russian cosmologist and mathematician, derived the
Friedmann equations from Albert Einstein's equations of general
relativity, showing that the Universe might be expanding in contrast to
the static Universe model advocated by Einstein at that time. In 1924,
Edwin Hubble's measurement of the great distance to the nearest spiral
nebulae showed that these systems were indeed other galaxies.
Independently deriving Friedmann's equations in 1927, Georges
Lemaître, a Belgian physicist and Roman Catholic priest, proposed that
the inferred recession of the nebulae was due to the expansion of the
Universe.

Extrapolation of the expansion of the Universe backwards in
time using general relativity yields an infinite density and temperature
at a finite time in the past. This singularity signals the breakdown of
general relativity. How closely we can extrapolate towards the
singularity is debated—certainly no closer than the end of the Planck
epoch. This singularity is sometimes called "the Big Bang", but the term
can also refer to the early hot, dense phase itself, notes which can be
considered the "birth" of our Universe. Based on the measurements of
the expansion using Type Ia supernovae, measurements of
temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background, and
measurements of the correlation function of galaxies, the Universe has
a calculated age of 13.75 ± 0.11 billion years. The agreement of these
three independent measurements strongly supports the ΛCDM model
that describes in detail the contents of the Universe.

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field showcases galaxies from an
ancient era when the Universe was younger, denser, and
warmer according to the Big Bang theory.

This timeline of the Big Bang shows the sequence of
events as predicted by the Big Bang theory, from the
beginning of time to the end of the Dark Ages.
It is a logarithmic scale that shows 10 cdot
log_{10} second instead of second. For example, one
microsecond is 10 cdot log_{10} 0.000 001 = 10 cdot (-6)
= -60. To convert -30 read on the scale to second calculate
10^{-frac{30}{10}} = 10^{-3} = 0.001 second = one
millisecond. On a logarithmic time scale a step lasts ten
times longer than the previous step.

The cosmic microwave background spectrum measured by the FIRAS instrument
on the COBE satellite is the most-precisely measured black body spectrum in nature.[51] The
data points and error bars on this graph are obscured by the theoretical curve.

This panoramic view of the entire near-infrared sky reveals the distribution of
galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The galaxies are color coded by redshift.

The overall geometry of
the Universe is
determined by whether
the Omega cosmological
parameter is less than,
equal to or greater than 1.

the Universe expansion,
where space (including
hypothetical non-
observable portions of the
Universe) is represented at
each time by the circular
