Einstein's theory of relativity twice that the theory of Newton was proven correct by Professor Stanley Eddington.
-
Einstein added the cosmological constant to solve the problem of the debate of the universe expanding or contracting.
-
Dr. Howard Shapley used the hooker telescope to find a common center of gravity for the clusters that were orbiting.
-
-Scientists needed a total solar eclipse to detect the bending of starlight becuase they needed to see the stars near the sun.
-
-
-The Universe was 2 billion years old
-The size was 280 Million Light Years -
-Hubble took photos of spiral galaxies using the 100 inch hooker telescope, he settle the debate between Curtis and Shapley.
-
-Hubble discovered three types of galaxies, spiral, eliptical, and irregular.
-Andromeda was proven to be outside the Milky Way.
-The faster a nebula is from us the faster it is moving away. The Universe is always expanding. -
-Age is 6 billion
-Size is 4-8 Billion -
-There are two types of supernovae, type 1 and type 2.
-The Big Bang Theory and the Steady State Theory existed in the 50's
- The difference between the two types are a difference in the elements of hydrogen. -
-Walter Baade deduced that there are two types of of cepheid stars and they have a different period-luminosity relationship.
-
-Age 10-15
-Size 25 Billion Years -
-Without Princeton University, Penzias and Wilson would not have gotten an answer.
-At least three scientists have missed cosmic backround radiation within their data.
-You can meaure the speed of stars by spliting the light into spectra, spectra contain linse that shift to the speeds of the stars. -
-Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson's base research led to the discovery of radiation coming from a hot, dense ball of matter and energy that existed from the beginning of the universe,
-
-The universe's age was 12-20 Billion
-The universe's size was 30 billion light years. -
-Henrietta Leavitt's theory in 1912 was proven incorrect by the new "standard candles", scientists have discovered in 1993.
-
-We cannot see dark matter but we do react to the gravity it gives off.
-The universe started off as a dense ball of energy, always expanding.
-As the universe cooled and expanded, it produced quarks, electrons, protons and neutrons. -
-The universe's age was 13.7 billion
-The universe's size was 94 billion light years -
-The composition of the universe is 73 percent dark energy, 4 percent atoms and 23 percent dark matter.
-CMB=Cosmic Microwave Backround
-Cosmic Microwave backround is the remaining light from the beginning of the universe seen today. -
-John C Mather is a NASA scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering more information about the cosmic microwave backround.
