Procedure.
Paste the sticker in the surface of the balloon.
Inflate the balloon gradually.
Observe what happen to the balloon and the
stickers.
3. Big Bang Theory state that everything in existence was
originally concentrated into one single tiny point which rapidly
started to expand and still expanding.
The BIG BANG theory rests on two ideas: General Relativity and
the Cosmological Principle. In Einstein’s General Theory of
Relativity, gravity is thought of as a distortion of space-time and
no longer described by a gravitational field in contrast to the
Law of Gravity of Isaac Newton.
• From 9.8 billion years until the present, the universe became
dark-energy dominated and underwent accelerating expansion.
At about 9.8 billion years after the big bang, the solar
system was formed.
The Big Bang Theory has withstood the tests for expansion: 1) the redshift 2)
abundance of hydrogen, helium, and lithium, and 3) the uniformly pervasive cosmic
microwave background radiation-the remnant heat from the bang.
• From time zero (13.8 billion years ago) until 10-43 second later, all matter and
energy in theuniverse existed as a hot, dense, tiny state . It then underwent
extremely rapid, exponential inflation until 10-32 second later after which and until
10 seconds from time zero, conditions allowed the existence of only quarks, hadrons,
and leptons.
• Then, Big Bang nucleosynthesis took place and produced protons, neutrons, atomic
nuclei, and then hydrogen, helium, and lithium until 20 minutes after time zero when
sufficient cooling did not allow further nucleosynthesis.
From then on until 380,000 years, the cooling universe entered a matter-dominated
period when photons decoupled from matter and light could travel freely as still
observed today in the form of cosmic microwave background radiation
