Big Bang theory

CONCEPT NOTES
Big Bang Theory – It was first proposed by George Lemaître and Edwin Hubble.
The key stages of the Big Bang Theory explain how the elements were initially
formed. These stages includes: (1) the universe may have begun as an infinitely
hot and dense initial singularity, a point with all of space, time, matter, and
energy. (2) All of it then began to rapidly expand in the process known as inflation
(3) As it expanded, the universe cools down. An excess of matter (electrons,
protons, neutrons, and other particles) came to be highly energetic. Protons and
neutrons come together to form different type of nuclei by nucleosynthesis or
nuclear fusion (4) electrons started to bind to ionized protons and nuclei forming
neutral atoms in the process called recombination.
Evidences of the formation of light element
1. Redshift - when the light from a galaxy
which is moving away from you is observed
the wavelength of the observed light appears
longer, it moves towards the red end of the
spectrum.
2. Relative abundance of He and H did not change
much until today. Due to rapid cooling due to
expansion, nucleosynthesis occurred and left
us with mostly H isotopes (p, D, and T).
3. Cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a
thermal radiation left as a result of recombination.

Exercise: Arrange the following stages of the Big Bang theory. Use 1 as the first
stage and 5 as the last stage.
____ 1. Electrons bind to ionized protons and nuclei to form neutral atoms.
____ 2.As it expanded, the universe cools down.
____ 3.Protons and neutrons come together to form nuclei by nucleosynthesis.
____ 4.The universe may have begun as an infinitely hot and dense initial
singularity.
____ 5. After the Big Bang, all of it then began to rapidly expand in the process
known as inflation.
