Big Bang Theory Timeline

Where Time Begins - 10-43 seconds

(1 Planck Time):

1

An explosion occurs and a mix of boiling Electrons, quarks and other elementary particles also can be called as boiling "soup". Space cools off raplidly and Quarks form Protons and Nuetrons

The Universe's Super Hot Fog

3 minutes

Heated Protons and Elecrons

hinder the emission of lights. Light Elements are created such as Deuterium, Lithium, Helium, and Hydrogen.

2

Hydrogen and Helium - 300,000 years

Protons, Electrons, and Nuetrons combine form atoms Primarly Hydrogen and Helium atoms

3

Galaxy Formation Era -

1 Billion years

Hydrogen and Helium atoms beging to form giant clouds that will become galaxies and stars.

4

The First Star -

15 billion years

5

First Star dying produce heavy elements which turn into new stars and planets.

Sun ~ 4.6 Billion Years Old

Solar System ~ 4.5 Billion Years Old

Milky Way ~ 23.2 Billion Years Old

A Scientist That Studied the Big Bang Theory

Scientist

Edwin Hubble observation's showed both that galaxies outside the Milky Way existed, and that their light appeared stretched — a sign that they were rushing away from Earth. Hubble made the observation that the universe is continuously expanding. He discovered that a galaxys velocity is proportional to its distance.

Technologies Made and Discoveries Created

Technologies

- The Hubble telescope is a Cassegrain reflector telescope that orbits around Earth with the ability to record images in wavelengths of light spanning from ultraviolet to near-infrared.

- A discovery made by the Hubble telescope in 1990 was that the distances between galaxies are generally proportional to their redshifts (like the Doppler effect); this theory was originally predicted by Lemaître in 1927. As a result of Hubble's observation, all very distant galaxies and clusters appear to have a velocity directly away from our perspective. The further away from us, the higher the velocity seems to be.
