Cosmic Origin Of Elements

COSMOLOGY - as the study of how the universe


began, how it continues to exist and how it will
end.

Big bang Theory/Model


Ÿ Astronomers George Lemaitre and Edwin Hubble
were some of its first proponents.

Several Limitations and Misconceptions


Ÿ Big Bang refers to the very start of the whole
process called the Big Bang Model
Ÿ The Big Bang was not an explosion that carried
matter outward from a point. It refers to the rapid
inflation of space itself.

STAGES OF BIG BANG


STAGE 1. The Universe may have begun as an
infinite

STAGE 2. All of it then began to rapidly


expand in a process known as inflation. Space
itself expanded faster than the speed of light. In
this still hoy and dense mass of the universe, pairs
of matter and antinatter (quarks and antiquarks)
were formed from energy, but these pairs
cancelled each other back into energy
(annhilation).
2. The relative abundance of He and H did not
change much until today.
