“James Webb Telescope Terrifying Image of The Big Bang Will Rewrite Physics!” uploaded by Teach Space on YouTube on february 10 2022

In the video they talk about the James Wedd telescope that launched last december,Ā  supposing to launch in 2010 and origninally costing 1 billion dollars but later costing 10 billion dollars. Made to take pictures about really any thing they find in outer space but mainly trying to catch a few pictures of the big bang. Build to take in most if not all types of light that comes from space, in order to be able to do this astrologist build curved mirror around it telescope causing to look farther then any telescope that was launched into space. But with all this time to build it and its inprovements of the telescope one problem that it could have is that the telescope will be stationed around one million miles away about 4 times the length of the moon and the earth and without having some people there to fix any problem that might happen and being so far from earth there wouldn’t be much to do if a problem would come up.

I wanted to look into more on what astronomers were doing in order to find more on the big bang, mainly when I was reading on others reseach tell of a telescope that would completely pale in comparison to any and every telescope that was ever made. The logic behind it is that since space is so massive and expanding that if we look out into space or take a photo of anything it wouldn’t be in real time but depending on how far it is or was it could show what it looked like a few minutes, a few hours, days, or even countless of years. One example is the sun we are not looking at it in real time but what it looked like 10 minutes ago. With this information they would aim the telescope into the void in hopes to find anything of the big bang. I feel that this fact gets overlooked easly by most and that people wouldn’t notice if somethingĀ  would had happen until its light reached us. “you can say the JWST represents the culmination of decades, if not centuries, of astronomy!” after reading more into the james webb telescope I would so it is one of the greatest achievements and could change what we know and theorize of space. With the telescope already launched a few months ago I wonder how long we would have to wait on the telescope to get to its position and how long do we have to wait for an photo.

“Cosmology: Understanding the Evolution of the Universe” published in 2015 by Shalini Saxena , and Britannica Educational Publishing Staff

The book begins with the ancient idea of what was the explanation of the universe throughout religion, culture, and tradition. Looking at the Greek culture and there believes on space, skies to be the heaven’s and that the stars and planets to be there gods and to never qustion those theory. Obviously with some time science would catch up and completely throw away those theories, finding out that our planet is not the center the solar system and that the stars, planets, and our sun are no gods. In between the 19-20th century is when scientist looked deeper into the hole idea of outter space. Albert Einstein being one of the first scientist to reveal his theories on time, space, matter, energy, and gravity to the worldm, jump starting the beginning of modern astronomy. Being one of the first scientist to look into the beginning of the universe and there theories.

Humanity has really come a long way in astronomy, coming from believing that outter space to the lands of the gods to there being a logical explanation on the existence of outter space. Other religions besides Greek most commonly explain that a god or higher being is the cause of the beginning of the universe. Albert Einstenin is someone that I believe that was responsible to help open people’s eyes on outter space and its different function with others like Henri Poincare and Hendrik Lorentz. As myself I and my family always believed in a god and responsible to creating the universe. One of the reasons I have always been interested in space and always will is because me and my hole family have been christians it was not until the start of my high school year was when I could truly begin to dig deep into outter space.

Going back to the big bang theory that was not recorded until 1927 by Georges LemaĆ®tre and would continue his reseach on the beginning of the universe with others following in with him. One easy answer to evidence of the big bang would be that everything is expanding, such as galaxies and solar systems. In pager 65 it states “Huge advances in our understanding of the cosmos have come in recent years, but many questions remain. Will the big bang scenario continue to account for the flood of new data on the universe’s structure?” I find this quite interesting because until we as a spacies are able to go out there and see for our selfs, we won’t be able to do much but ask questions and only be able to answer a small part of it and only those two.
