ORIGIN AND STRUCTURE OF THE EARTH

ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE

MYTHS
a traditional story, especially one concerning
the early history of a people or explaining some
natural or social phenomenon, and typically
involving supernatural beings or events.
SCIENTIFIC THEORIES
BIG BANG THEORY
PRIMEVAL ATOM
• the universe expanded from an
initial point
• According to the Big Bang theory, the
expansion of the observable universe
began with the explosion of a single
particle at a definite point in time.
EDWIN HUBBLE
Hubble's Law basically states that the greater
the distance of a galaxy from ours, the faster
it recedes. It was proof that the Universe is
expanding. It was also the first observational
support for a new theory on the origin of the
Universe proposed by Georges Lemaitre: the
Big Bang.
STEADY STATE THEORY
STEADY-STATE THEORY
• is a theoretical model in which the Universe is
constantly expanding but with a fixed average
density.
• the density of matter in the expanding universe
remains unchanged over time because of the
continuous creation of matter.
• the Universe doesn’t evolve or change over time.
INFLATION THEORY
INFLATION THEORY
•A theory according to which the
universe underwent extremely rapid
expansion after an original event
called the big bang, and has been
expanding ever since.
STRING THEORY
STRING THEORY

•everything is made of unbelievably

tiny strings, whose vibrations
produce effects that we interpret as
atoms, electrons and quarks.
ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
GEOCENTRIC MODEL

•The geocentric model is a debunked

theory that the Earth is the center of
the universe, with the sun and
planets revolving around it.
HELIOCENTRIC MODEL
a cosmological model in which the
Sun is assumed to lie at or near a
central point (e.g., of the solar
system or of the universe) while the
Earth and other bodies revolve
around it.
