THEORIES OF THE UNIVERSE

The theory on the structure of the universe underwent a series of evolutions starting with the Greek astronomer Ptolemy who suggested that the universe was made up of concentric spheres made up of crystalline that spun around the Earth center.

My presentation paper that I used during college, on the subject of cosmology. Cosmology is the study of the origin, properties, processes and evolution of the universe.

An exploration of how beliefs can be contradicted by realty and how people react to such a contradiction.

Theories of the formation of the universe now include some unique concepts.

The Universe is comprised of trillions of stars. Is it the repository of all the Souls that went before? Christ said "In my Father's House there are many mansions" Are the stars the mansions to which He referred?

All laws are only ever laws because someone has accepted them to be. In the oneness of love, there is never any room for any laws at all.

The fact that Einstein, who was so convinced that the universe had always existed, tampered with his own formula to stay true to his own beliefs is a testament to how strongly this issue has been contested over the years.

Albert Einstein said that he was wrong when he put forth the theory of what he termed a cosmological constant, which is a force that is the opposite of gravity that stops the universe from collapsing in on itself.

Recent empiricist-positivist speculations have concerned whether or not the universe has a particular geometric shape. This tenth essay of "A Rational Cosmology" shows that the question is absurd, as the universe is not an entity, and only entities can have shapes.

Perception of philosophers and scientists explained by Buddhism. This article explores the perceptions of Kant, Bergson, Berkeley and others linking their ideas to Buddhist Philosophy.

World-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking has written a new book suggesting God had nothing to do with the beginning of the universe. What do the scientific and religious communities have to say about his assertions? Was God or physics responsible?

China was probably the first civilization to record a detailed system of myth and science based on the concept of a musical universe.

The earth, relative to a point far away from it, would appear virtually frozen in time to another observer, yet on earth it would not be noticed at all. Does time exist outside matter? Is the universe infinite?

Astrophysicist Neta Bahcall will present two lectures in the Patten Lecture Series at Indiana University on October 23 and 25.

In his Viking text "Super Life Secret Codes, author Great Sun, presents a model of how man is connected to the Universe, and he illustrates it with secrets revealed in the workings of cell phones and computers.

Will the activation of the LHC bring about the end of the world? Or will it instead unlock the secrets of the universe, and maybe even the meaning of life, the universe and everything?

The nature of the solar system, with special emphasis on the relationship with Jupiter, the counterweight, and Uranus, the gyroscope. Emphasis is placed upon the mathematical relationships and physical observation.

This article recounts the fascinating history of the events leading up to the invention of the transistor -- perhaps the most important invention of the 20th century, and one without which our "information society" could never have happened.

The "atom smasher" was fired up today to recreate the condition of the universe directly following the Big Bang.

Theories about the creation of the universe continue to unfold. But so do people's ideas of such theories.

This eighth essay of "A Rational Cosmology" demonstrates the logical impossibility of the universe ever being destroyed as well as of all entities combining to form a homogeneous "singularity." This is a refutation of currently fashionable "Big Crunch" theory.

Although they might sound like something out of "Star Wars," dark matter and dark energy may turn out to be the only explanations for the observed behavior of the Universe.

It was always known that there was matter in the sky that we couldn't see. Dark matter makes up 90% of the universe. It cannot emit, absorb or reflect light, which makes it truly black.
