Origins of the Universe

Pictures to go along with the writing portion of this proficiency!

Ancient Greece

• Ptolemaic system• Copernican system

Ptolemaic system

I don’t think this theory is true because the solar system is not set up like this as we see in other pictures. What we think of as the solar system is all planets orbiting around the sun.

Copernican system

I don’t think this theory is correct because the planets do orbit the sun but the sun is not in the middle of the universe we have no proof of that.

Isaac Newton

• Law of Gravity

Law of gravity

I think that this law definitely is true. This law impacts my thoughts on how big the universe is . Due to this law I think that the universe does not have an end yet because if it did then due to this law it would collapse.

Albert Einstein

• Theory of Relativity

Theory of relativity

I think that this theory is correct because not only do a lot of smart believe it and that a smart person made it popular, it does make a lot of sense of how it is explained in his theory.

Steady state theory

Steady state theory

I don’t believe in this theory because first off most people don’t believe in it anymore and second if there is a source out in space creating more and more space matter we would have probably discovered it already.

Present day theories

• Big Bang Theory• Bouncing Universe Theory• Open, Close, Folding Universe Theory

Big bang theory

I believe in this theory because it is the most logical out of the theories and it is the most popular too.

C

Bouncing universe theory

I don’t think that this theory is possible, if there were multiple beginnings and ends in our universe then when would it be? It hasn’t happened for many years because there has been life on Earth for many years.

Open, closed, and fold universe theory

I think that out of these three theories I believe in the fold theory because for space to be endless or to have an end seems to impossible so the fold theory is a combination of both.
