Analysis of a Major Model of the Universe
This report attempts to present a comprehensive analysis of a major model of the Universe. The objective is to provide a brief summary, a timeline so to speak, of the universe. The piece presents insights into such phenomenon as the universe's guesstimated beginning, evolutionary process and through to its forecasted end. Along the path the paper touches upon topics such as Epochs; the Radiation Era; the Matter Era; the Hubble Constant and more. This timeline of the Universe may or may not be totally accurate because, the fact is, no one is positively sure of how our universe came to be. "Cosmologists assume that the fraction of the universe we see is representative of the whole. This assumption was first made seriously at the time of Einstein, and it has seemed to hold up as observers become able to penetrate more and more deeply into the observable universe. According to essentially all proposed models, astronomers now observe only a fraction of what we shall ever be able to observe." (Alpher and Herman, 4) From a religious perspective for example, the universe may have been a thought in the mind of a superior being with names such as Zues, Mother Nature, Alla or God. From a perspective of the Bhudda on the other
For an incomprehensibly tiny fraction of a single second, the universe equated to the cataclysmic explosion where it was an infinitely dense scorching fireball. This theory equates to what astronomers now know as a runaway process called 'Inflation' where a vast expansion of space is systematically filled with energy. "The inflationary expansion is stopped only when this energy is transformed into matter and energy as we know it." (PBS) After the Bang, the universe took shape and the basic elements were formed. Once the event occurred and the universe was in an infancy stage, like a common ecosystem, the entities in this early stage formed, banged and recycled themselves to create the universe. In theory, all of this took only a few seconds. Consider also that the presented timeline of the universe is a bit misleading in regard to the evolution of the universe. For example, the times between each successive era appear to grow exponentially as the Universe evolves. From that, scientists have estimated that when a Degenerate Era eventually kicks in, our Universe will have aged around 100,000,000,000,000 years which is more than seven thousand times older than the Universe is estimated to be currently. "The Stellar Era Ends 100 Trillion Years in the Future - Astronomers assume that the universe will gradually wither away, provided it keeps on expanding and does not recollapse under the pull of its own gravity. During the Stelliferous Era, from 10,000 years to 100 trillion years after the Big Bang, most of the energy generated by the universe is in the form of stars burning hydrogen and other elements in their cores." (PBS) As the pockets of gas become consistently more dense, stars were thought to have begun to form and each new star inadvertently formed with other stars to create new galaxies. Over the era, galaxies eventually expand to a point where rock formations and other heavenly bodies formed. In the turbulence of continued universal expansion, they collided and were altered to create planets, meteors, comets and asteroids
