The students will be able to:

development of theories that
explain the origin of the universe
• Differentiate the hypotheses
explaining the origin of the
universe
• Appreciate the importance of the
processes and events that made
life possible
Theories on
the origin of
the Universe
Genesis
•Describe how God separated light
from darkness, created the sky, land,
sea, moon, stars, and every living
creature in a span of six days.
Rigveda
•Describes the universe as an
oscillating universe.
•“cosmic egg” or Brahmanda -
whole universe
•Bindu - concentrated point.
Atomic universe
•that the universe was
composed of very small,
indivisible, and
indestructible atoms
Geocentric universe
•where Earth stayed
motionless in the heavens and
everything was revolving
around it.
Assignment

modern theories on the
origin of the universe.

Modern
theories on
the origin of
the Universe
The Big bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory
•The current accepted model
•According to the theory, matter
was not present at the beginning
of time.
The Big Bang Theory
•Major proponent
•Edwin Hubble
•Discovered matter
was moving
away (1929)
The Big Bang Theory
•Major proponent
•Georges Lemaître
•Father of the Big
Bang (1931)
The Big Bang Theory
•Was a violent explosion which
caused the inflation and expansion
of the universe.
•Four fundamental forces were
formed:
The Big Bang Theory
•The universe continuously
expanding, it began to cool down,
allowing the protons and neutrons to
fuse and form the nucleus of
hydrogen and helium atoms.
The Big Bang Theory
•300 000 years later, photons escaped and
light existed.
•After 300 million years stars and
galaxies began to form as hydrogen and
helium coalesce with the aid of gravity.
Oscillating Universe
•This theory followed the theory of
relativity
•Curvature - expansion of universe
and contraction due to gravity.
•Alexander Friedmann (1922)
Steady State Theory
•Proposed by Fred Hoyle, Thomas
Gold and Hermann Bondi.
•This theory stated that the universe
expanded but did not change its
density.
Inflationary Universe
•Proposed by Alan Guth (1980).
•This theory is based on big
bang theory.
•An early cosmic inflation.
Multiverse
•Andrei Linde developed a
theory explaining that the
universe is just one of many
bubbles in the multiverse.
“Many worlds”
•Hugh Everett III and Bryce
Dewitt initially developed
and popularized this concept.
•If you created or
discover new things,
how will you introduce
this to people?
Assignment

Research about the

origin of the Solar
system.

have joy and gladness,
and many will rejoice at
his birth.”
