The Big Bang Theory is a cosmological model that explains the large-time scale evolution of the observable universe. The model explains how Universe evolved and expanded from an initial point with extremely high temperature and density to how we observe it today. The Universe expanded from this point of singularity…
Due to a lack of observational or physical evidence of the astronomical data of the time of the Big Bang, there is much speculation amongst scientists as to the true perplexing nature of space and time at that time. Present computer models and speculations depict an environment where the universe…
With the advent of Cosmic inflation, the Universe expanded at a speed faster than the speed of light resulting in an instantaneous increase in the volume of space by 1078. Due to this, the Universe continued to decrease in temperature and density, and therefore the average energy per particle was…
According to the current Big Bang Model, it suggests that the Universe was dense and small at the beginning and since then it has been expanding rapidly due to inflationary pressure. We will go through those different phases of the formation of the Universe from the occurrence of Big Bang…
For billions of years, small clumps of matter began to gravitationally clump into each other in slightly denser areas and attracted nearby matter. They thus grew even denser, forming new clouds, present-day stars, galaxies, and other astronomical structures observable today. The attribute of this process depended on the type and…
